Frederick Uphani Adams Turned joke

ion and also an eager eye on model

sees what weapon to choose for the
fish.
The chances for the majority Of us
to decide what to do In an emergency.
are remote, but are to be considered.
Place yourself in the situation OF Fred

but to proceed. He recalled '1vanhoe'

the dismantling of the wall would be
to undo the work of some chef. who,

of their loved ones as the mothers of

II you stop to think about it you
know dozens of men who slave day
after day knowing no rest, no vaca-
tions. no pleasures; knowing nothing
but toll and worry that wife and chill
Idren may have comforts or luxuries.
Nothing could be finer than the story
of Colonel John Jacob Astor carefully
slowing his wife in the lifeboat. and
stepping back to die. Or the story
of Major Butt, who after wrapping the
lady up warm in the small boat. step
ped back, raised his hat, and with a
pleasant smile said to her Goodbye;
give my love to all my friends, and
then met his death like a soldier and
a gentleman. And there were hun
dreds of nameless heroes.

of the Titanic's orchestra who to cheer
those waiting for death on the doomed
vessel played Near My God to Thee, ;"
as the ship settled down into the sea.
Truly peace has her victories as well

brave souls without going to the battle
field to search for them.

In the midst of the sorrow of this
day, the shock and the grief comes
to every one the gentle thrill of love
for his brother man who with all his
frailty and faults, can arise so godlike
in his self-sacrifice as did hundreds
upon the Titanic How gladly would
we, if possible, grasp the hands of
those heroes and battle them with our

cannot; they are gone. But OF those

If we are not called upon to die for

Theilen often had been promised by
schulze that what property he pos

But when death came to the former

Twenty-Five years ago today there
was enacted scene in old Oklahoma
that can never take place again on the
American continent. The run for land
in that part of Oklahoma that lies
south of the Cherokee Strip was an
event that can never be blotted from
the memory of the old timer. Thou
sands of people ran pell nell into this
new country in search of claims and
the scenes there enacted have no
parallel in American history. The
fight of time seems short since that
eyentful day twenty-three years ago
and the transition from a wilderness
into a great state is too wonderful to
be described.

ALCOHOL AND INSANITY.

While in almost every part of the
civilized world alarm is felt at the
increasing ratio of insanity in the pop
ulation, there are some localities
which seem, on the other hand, to be
becoming less Infested so to speak,
with the virus of mental disease. One
of these appears to be the state of
Kansas, whicn had in 1904 $50 com
mitments to its asylums per hundred
thousand of population In 1910 the
number for each hundred thousand
had fallen to 42.S, and in 1911 to 3S.S,
and the members of the State Board of
Control and the asylum officials are
said to credit this to the suicter en-
forcement of the prohibition laws of
the state and the consequent dimin-
lshed consumption Of alcohol OF
course there must be some leakage
over the border. but il seems to be a
fact that Kansas is practically a dry
state, The Journal Of the American
Medical Association says that it is not
crease with the diminished consump-
tion of an article which is credited by
alienists with the direct causation OF
at least 10, and probably a consider
ably higher, per cent of existing in
sanity. and which indirectly is more
or less important factor in a very
much larger percentage of cases. The
Kansas figures come reasonably close
