adventures. In referring to Peak
Island off the coast OF Queensland,
where this particular trip took
place, this correspondent writes
that the beach is only about 400
yards long, all the rest of the is
land being rocky.
The first operation is to catch the
turtles, which are plentifully scat
tered about the island, and turn
them over on their backs, in which
position they are perfectly helpless.
When one learns that these animals
weigh from two to three hundred
weight. 1t is not surprising that
considerable knaCk is required to
do this, but the neatest and quick
est way, it is explained, is to grab
the turtle from behind and tip 1t
over it's head. AS soon as a trip
is arranged the turtles-as many
as are required-are turned over,
and, finding themselves on their
feet once more, they make for the
sea with the men on their backs,
who, when in about foot of water
squat on the animals, holding on to
them where the coat collar ought
to be.

Example of Vessel
Crossing the Atlantic.

Crossing the Atlantic.
If a sailing vessel is crossing the
Atlantic it would save the sailors a
great deal of trouble and hard work
to let her go as she pleases; ana II
the wind were blowing from the
right quarter and continued to blow
from the same quarter without any
veering, then the vessel might be
left to herself to go her own way
and she would arrive in port all
right
But winds do not usually work
in that way
Some of the time they come from
the east and some of the time from
somewhere else and everywhere
else. Very much like a mans dis
position the wind is.
Therefore, the captain has to Law
down line for the vessel to run
upon and hold her to that line.
That is to say, the vessel must sail
by rule and not by fmpuIra
Almost all people do lay down
rules for themselves and some Of
the time they follow them, but once
In while impulse starts up, a sud
den desire seizes thep, and the rule
is broken and goes ali to pieces
Everything in nature goes bv
rule. The earth revolves by rule:
the trees leaf and blossom by rule
IF the world about us acted onlv
by impulse, everything would b.
shattered inside of "a hours, III.
winds would tear up the forests.
the hills would tumble into III.
lakes and the stars would bumn
into each other and the sky be full
of the flinders.
1t may not have occurred to tina
reader that what / have lust beer
saying has very direct appIica-
lion to the present political situa-
ton. Opinions today are of tro
sorts.
one sort Is that of people who
want to have government admin
lstered by rule, and the other opin-
ion is the one held by those wbo
would like to see it administered
by impulse.
Mr.. Roosevelt stands for tbe i'm
pulsives. He is the victim NJ bis
momentary fancies and preferences
Colonel Roosevelt
Is Like Colt. "
He is like an unbroken colt thai
looks upon a fence NOT as so,,a
thing intended to keep him in but
as something put up for him "a
jump over.
Inc whole tendency of his inru-
ence IS to persuade the mssses that
- 1t is their rightful privilege to do
as they may at any time thew
feel like doing. irrespective of law
and constitution. He is without
reverence for what is established
II he built a boat he would leave
out the anchor. If he created +rAA
he would skin the roots
If he were to originate a state he
would put himself at the head of il.
OF course, and dispense with all
constitution except such as the peo-
pie would make up as they went
along. And that is the kind of ner-
son to whom a good many people
would like to commit the shaping
of our national life and the guard
ianship of its interests.

The "Flapper' Girl of 1912

 Distinctly the 1912 horse show girl is flapper. old ones and young ones all strictly lappers-boneless abso- lutely whaleboneless, hipless, waistless. with shoulders so sloping that the big. heavy stole of fur tohoggans off them and stops at the elbow. The huff droops heavily to within an inch of the floor, hanging from tho left wrist It is by no means a high brow girl. this years horse show exhibit. but there is a studio pose-a duplex studio about il.
 Where is the fat of yesterday? The fat lady has gone.
 Sable is still the first choice as to furs, although the new mousy moleskin is next, displacing even erinine for ev- ening coats. There is hobble to ev- erything below the knees There Is q delicious strawberry ice cream red--in dresses. cloaks and hats-that lends a gorgeous color touch to tho picture
 One of the actually beautiful effects of the new short-waisted dinky gowns is that they seem to have been Just slipped on and hooked up. The fear full old look of being girded down at the waist by a few dozen pins and coupled up at the neck by another group of another breed of pins the buttoned down the back effect or the not buttoned. as you choose to have all are gone to that chamber of horrors where the marcel wave, the rat, the puff, the plaquet and the high boned collar dwell in mutual agony.
 There is Q grace about this years horse show girl. She suggests Reea- mier, Josephine before the divorce. Joan of Arc, St. Cecilia. She no longer looks like an actress. Club men sum it up in the word "fiapper."
 Ropes of pearls are getting as com mon as clotheslines Gardenlas, or chids and violets are worn to the left side at the belt-that is, where the belt line now is. If one knocks into anyone which one is bound to do--one must not say "eXcuse me" or "beg pardon" Indeed. one musn't. Sorry" one says, which one can take both ways.

He estimates that these lancs are worth millions of dollars and that there is scarcely more important problem confronting the state than their recoV- cry and the restoration of the money derived from them to the purposes for which 1t was intended. The state is now making strenuous efforts not only to recover the lands belonging to the state but to get back the amounts due where they have been sold and to se- cure damages for depredations on the lands.
 Much MisinfOrmati0n on Subject
 There has been much discussion re- gently in reference to the sixteenth sec- tion lands and there seems to exist very much transformation on this question, = said Major German.
 "The present administration is mak- ing an earnest and laudable effort to recover all of these lands that have not legally been sold, to collect the money due where there nave been legal sales, and to recover damages for trespasses and depredations. These efforts have been very satisfactory and successful
 t'over s100,000 has been collected and paid into the state treasury from the sale of these lands, $150000 worth of lands have been recovered, suits are pending for over s500,000 for depreda- , tions on the lands, and investigations

A Fatal Error


 Brown was courting q young lady who possessed the happy combination of wealth and beauty, and matters were about to come to a successful issue when. such is the irony of fate, this is what happened:
 One morning Brown overheard some member of his sweetheart's family say that the next day was her birthday. Whereupon he informed her. as poetieal- ly as he knew how, that on the morrow he would send her a bunch of American beauties-one for each year.
 That night he telephoned to his florist and ordered the immediate delivery Of nineteen roses to the young lady.
 The florist read the order and thought he would please the young man by im- proving it, so he said to his clerk: John, fill this order for MT. Brown. And by the Way, since he has been such a good eus- toner of ours. put in another six for good measure! When he called that night the young lady was out

One wonders what this home maker would have thought of some of our more advanced goth cen tury women.
 In Miss Rose NJ.
