SAYS UNCLE CAV

The time to forget trouble is after
it is over. He who takes something
to forget the trouble that approaches
is on the broad way that leadeth unto
destruction. And it's a short and
slippery thoroughfare, with hell's hop
per at the end of it
Peace won by neglecting RESPONSE
bilities is a fools paradise. No good
comes of turning your back on the
foe. Bullets that enter between the
shoulder blades are quite as deadly
as those that find a mans heart
through a mans breast. Moreover,
the responsibility you neglect or ignore
is not discharged; it returns tomorrow
fourfold. Keep clear of worry, by all
means, but there is nothing about
facing ones difficulties to bring wrin-
kles to the brow. Life is a good
game, and if one sails in right merrily
and wipes the slate clean each day,
there's no better amusement than liv-
ing and working.
But he who would forget the i'm
pending task, who seeks surcease in
wine or even in amusement, weaves
tangled skein and presently finds him
self bound hand and foot. Don't for
get your troubles until you have dis
posed of them; then you can forget in
good conscience-(Copyri 1912, by
the Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.)

FREIGHT RATES.

| There is z lot to know about freight
rates, says Harper's Weekly. On that
subject even the most experienced
railroad men freely confess that their
own knowledge is imperfect. The
public, which seems to have got the
notion that the whole matter is quite
simple, would probably be surprised
to learn that railroad managers them
selves can not tell exactly the cost of
carrying specific articles a given dis
lance. The principle of joint cost,
which applies to all railway opera
tions, makes that knowledge practi-
cally unattainable. Fixing reason
able rates, even when that is the sin
gle object in view, and full power to
do it is assumed in behalf of the peo-
pie by a legislature or commission, is
an extremely difficult and compHcat-
ed enterprise. If the public is to I'M
dertake it permanently-as apparent
" the public is-then the public
should surely take time to learn some
thing about it.
And not merely for ethical reasons;
for perfectly practical and selfish
reasons; not for the railroads sake,
but for the public's sake. For the
public, as Professor Taussig points
out in his new book on political econ
omy, has two interests to serve. 1t
wants cheap freight rates, of course;
but it also wants full and efficient
extending itself to meet our constantly
extending itself to meet our constantly
growing needs 1t has already the
lowest freight rates in the world, par
ticularly for long distances, and it has
also hitherto profited by the most
rapid extension of railway facilities.
1t wants, therefore, plainly enough, to
keep both these advantages. 1t can
not afford still lower rates at the cost
of putting the railroads out of bust
ness or even of making it impossible
for them to go on increasing their
plants.
Which again amounts to saying that
if the public is going to take charge
of railroad rates the public would do
well to learn something about them.

Is Captain Smith of the Titanic, who
| IS supposed to be at the bottom OF
the Atlantic with his ship and its hun
! dreds of passengers and members OF
the crew, still alive? Was he picked III
| by some passing fishing boat anc
brought to the United States and fin
ally to Washington? This is the ques-
ton which is being generally ask ed
| following the statement made in Bal
| timore Saturday by Peter Pryal, form Ell
quartermaSter of the White Star liner
Majestic, that he had seen and spoken
to Captain Smith, and that the latter
was on his way to Washington.
Senator William Alden Smith, chair
man of the senate committee which
investigated the sinking or the Titanic,
yesterday gave it as his opinion that
it was impossible that Captain SIN TIL
is alive. He treated the report lightly,
and declared that the Baltimore man
was either mistaken or did not know
what he was talking about
Its utterly absurd" said Senator
Smith. ''Al the testimony given about
the sinking of the Titanic showed that
Captain Smith is dead. He hasn't
called on me yet, and l hardly expect
Inquiries at Washington hotels yes
terday failed to uncover anything
about the Titanic captain If he is
in Washington he is making a secret
of the fact, and does not want his
presence here known.
Many people, however, recalled otn-
er stories about the rescue of men
from shipwreck, and their appearance
years after they had been given up as
dead These are now wondering IF
another case of the kind has come to
pass.
That the traditions of the sea
would lead Captain Smith to hesitate
long before coming out in the open
and revealing his identity was the gen.
eral opinion. After all that has been
said about Captain Smiths respousi-
bility for the sinking of the Titanic it
is thought that even were he alive. he
would adopt another name, and live in
retirement the rest of his life. Such
a course would not be without prece-
dent.
AS Senator Smith said, however.
everything connected with the sinking
the captain had gone down with his
ship. Sailors told of how he was urged
to climb into one boat, but now ne
waved them aside and sank Other
stories were told about his shooting
himself but they were never con-
nrmed. In the face of these stories u
would hardly seem possible that ne
could be alive.
For weeks after the sinking OF the
White Star liner. vessels hoVereo ~
the vicinity of the spot wnere she
went down, searching for bod1es Oh lhS
dead. Many bodies were tound; aiIu
one overturned lifeboat was dlscoN-
cred. Rut no trace of Captain smith
was ever discovered. Although soInfe
of the bodies discovered were loehL-
fed. it is thought certain tnat II Oie

eT gay At the beginning of the game
s all were about equally bad in their
am aim put soon two men emerged from
lne ranks and distinguished them
serves by their successful throws.
hacn round their throws were moro
anu more accurate, until finally their
scores neared the 100 per cent of pos
sible points.
What good eye you must haveI.'
commented to one of these men at :
ter the game.
Il don't think So" he said. Didn't
you notice how terrible / threw

tried to correct it. 1 was oveTshoof-
ing at Ilfst SO l deliberately tried to
go lighter. The trouble with Won peo-
pie was that you just threw hanna. =
ard. You could have done lust as we'll
as if you had really tried. Didn't
you see that Mrs. S. threw just too FAR
70 the right every time? If she hau
only deliberately thrown more to the
left she would have scored right
straight along"
This young man is successfully car
rying through a difficult business sit
uation in which older heads than his
have failed.
Do you wonder?
don't. 1t is evident that he car
ries his philosophy of bean-bags into
business life. And it succeeds in one
case just as it does in the other.
Tell me, are you improving your aim
as definitely as you can at each throw
Or are you failing to score because
you make the same needless mis-
takes round after round in the game
of life?
II am not a good mixer" a young
man said to himself a few years ag5.
after he had been studying why ne
tailed to make as high a score as he
desired. Il can learn to get along
with my fellowmen more successfully
and L will. I'll make a definite study
of the matter"
Today this man is a highly success
i it1 commercial traveller and his abil-
!ty to mix" with all sorts of people
Is considered one of his biggest assets
Just where is your aim bad? Jus.
where are you failing to score?
Are you overshooting or under
shooting? Are you losing efficiency by
inability to mix well, or by taking
too little care of your health, or by
lack of education, or how?
The trouble with you people is
that you just throw haphazard' said
the successful young man. 1t is the
trouble with most of the failures IL
the world.
Know thyself' in all its meanings
IS just as much the motto of success
today IN America as it was some hun
areas OF years ago in Athens.

FROM OTHER PENS
ARTHITR MAC ARTHUR.

Arthur Macarthur lieutenant general
United States army. died as soldier well
might wish to die, with his comrades
gathered about him he had escaped
death on the battlefield several times BY
the miracles of chance, or by the safe
guarding of Providence, according as men
choose to view such deliverances. He
was one of the finest soldiers that tire
volunteer service gave to the country In
the days of civil war. When he was only
II years old Arthur Macarthur went 10
the front with a Wisconsin regiment as
second lieutenant. He was one of tho
youngest commissioned officers in the
northern army. At Missionary Ridge
Macarthur gave an example of the stun
that was in him. Two color bearers or
his regiment had been shot down when
he seized the flag and bore ii at the heat
of the line up a bullet-swept hill. 1t was
conspicuous example of personal gal
lantry. and it was given recognition BY
congress. After the civil war ended Mac
Arthur was given a commission in the
regulars. He served on the plains. IN
Cuba and in the Philippines. and all OF his
service was worthy. This volunteer or
ficer before Ifs final retirement was
made a lieutenant general of the regula-
army. 1t was a distinction well carmel

An observation by the Buttermiil1
Hollow correspondent of the Jewell
County Monitor: 1t seems funny that
since so much rain the cabbage has

its ears and even the potatoes wink

on the vines.
When we were little, says Verd
Napier, of the Blue Mound Sun, we
thought a man was old at 80. When
we were 20 we decided that man
was not old until he was 40 or so, and
mark farther ahead. When does a man
get old anyway? We asked the same
question of a spry old boy who had
passed his SOth birthday. He studied
over it for while and said that he
didn't know, but his judgment was
when a man reached 95 and had diff

Nowadays it is a highly honorable
thing to swat the flies, says the Leroy
Reporter. The species has increased sc
greatly that the scientists discover
much peril in them. But it was not
so in former times, judging from
piece in an old school reader. The
story was told to show that every crea-
ture had some good use Here is the
sense of it as we remember: Once upon
a time an animal got under the floor
of a dwelling and died there and the
stencil became unhearable. So the man
went out and after a long hunt cap
tured a fly, brought him in and re-
leased him in the house. And the fly
circIed around in the air few times
and alghted on the very spot on the
floor under which the carcass lay. Sc
only one board had to be taken up.
The thing about this story which the
modern man deems inexplicable is the
point about the man going out to hunt
a Ay. He would have no trouble in
admitting a swarm now by simply op-
ening the door.
