Prof. Brooks said every person should
attend Sunday-school, more especially
the young boys and girls, as the sue

their thoughts. Therefore we should
always think of the Sabbath-school.

NEED LARGE NAVY,
SAYS Pres. TAFT.
Fertilization of Panama Canal
Right Policy TO Protect
United States.

NEW YORK, Oct. l5.-PreSideni
Taft was the principal speaker last
night at the banquet given by Mayor
Gaynor in honor of the President, his
cabinet and the officers of the feet
now here. The President discussed
the navy at some length. In part
he said:
'sThe policy of increasing the navy
two battleships a year had been con
~sistently followed until this year,
when it was reduced 10 one. / think
this is d mistake-certainly before the
Panama canal is completed, when the
canal itself will give great additional
efficiency to the fleet we have ~ per-
hitting it's transfer from n ocean
to another, as ~exigeney may dictate,
without the circumnavigation OF
South America.
NAVAL authorities report that with
the fleet as it now is two battleships
a year will hardly make up for what
the feet loses each year by the retire
Ynent or putting on the reserve Of
vessels that are not equal to the first
class modern requirements.
IT sincerely hope that whatever
party comes into power the policy OF
two battleships a year will be con-
tinned until, through the Panama
Canal and otherwise, the needs of the
Pacific coast for it's defense shall be
satisfied.
Eve have had a question before us
in the matter of the fertilization OF
the Panama Canal. which the nation
has answered. in my judgment, in the
right way.
ut was proposed TO neutralize the
canal that is TO make the canal so
that every natien and every country
under ali conditions of war or peace
could use the canal as q p~assageWay,
end nv an agreement between all ma
tions hostilities should be excluded
from the harbors at each end Of the
canal or from the canal itself, Ihere
eie very considerable practical dill
cuIties in enforcing such q bona
ngainst an irresponsible nation that
does rot recognize the obligations of
q treaty OF refuses TO enter into it.
AS long as wal is possible, as long
as we have 20 maintain a fleet to pro-
toct ourselves ana enforce our rights,
n seems TO me to be altruism run
mad. to be worse tfan the infdelity
Of the man who looks not after his
own family, to contribute s4Oo, OOo. 900
10 the canal and then lose one of the
great advantages for which that
money was expended, to wit, the
doubling of the efficacy of Il navy
against any other which might at
tack us"

Miss Stenno unacquainted with the sign language except as represented in her shorthand book, and momentarly expecting the boss to roar for his letters, reached for her handbag. extracting a dime dropped the plaster in her purse. and was rewarded by digniied bow from the speeches. member of her pot hook fraternity On the principle that everything comes in handy sooner or later. Miss Stenno carted round with her that envelope of silver paper with the three sheets of sticking plaster within until 1t was fuzzy at the corners from wear. Several times when she paved through the variegated contents of her handbag did she almost cast it out, out always she put it back agaain thinking some time she'd cut her finger maybe.
 One day on Broadway car Miss Stenno saw the eighth wonder of the world. It was a courteous conductor By the way he hauled valises, bundles and people aboard that car, Miss Stenno judged he must have come from Ralti- more, that dear old town where women still go marketing with baskets. and where conductors often get down off the car to assist. This conductor not onlv cheerfully gave a fat man a transfer 15 minutes after he had paid his fare. but explained patiently to an Italian woman how to reach an address written on a dirty paper she carried As Miss Stenno glanced wonderngly at the nickle collec- tor, she observed a small trickle of blood coursing down his wrist. Once in while he dabbed it with a grimy handkerchief. but the worn and soiled sleeve of his coat kept rubbing over the hurt

HAZARD OF THE PEN
Literature, Like Marriage, Is a Lot
 tery for All

From the London Author
 It will be remembered how, in his early days. Dr. Johnson, on occasion. walked the streets of London all night because he could not afford a bed, while Goldsmith knew the necessity of pawning the clothes off his, lying with his head protruding from a slit in the mattress inside which he had thrust his person. Coleridge. even at time when he had attained celebrity as a scholar, poet, and essayist, was in the saddest state of Restitution. Dryden lived in poverty and distress. Steele waged ceaseless war against bailifrs. Keats slipped out of life under the i'm pression his name was writ in water" and otway perished of starvation.
 Far from genius being help to the lit- erary or poetic creator in any material sense. at least during the early stages or his career. 1t is a hindrance Man Kind understands mediocrity. tolerates ta1 ent, but mistrusts genius. This reflection enables us to explain why manufacturers of shilling shoekers," and delineators of trenzled erotieism, obtain instant and widespread popularity for their produc- tions, while Francis Thompson sells matches in the streets of London. and a John Davidson performs the last desper- ate act of renunciation.
 For one man who succeeds in Iitera- ture. thousand fail," declared Mir Craw- ford.
 Authors who have passed through what is called "the mill'' could, no doubt, throw corroborative evidence on the statement. even though perseverance. physical en- durance, and perchance, good fortune may have combined to pull them through the purgatory wherein they once groaned in anguish. and to have in some degree toned down its memory. But what of those miserable wretches who never strus-. gle out of 1t. but founder hopelessly to the end?
 Literature. like marriage, is something of lottery, and it's prizes do not always fall to those most worthy to receive them. When we hear of successful authors who have reached positions of competence. and even of affluence. we are apt to over look the thousands of hack writers whose lives arc spent in one continued strugg.e against privation. All alike, however. the victors and the vanquished. the winners and the failures, might do worse than pause awhile to cogitate over a remark of which Robert Buchanan once delivered himself when asked what he had to say | upon the subject of his profession. "Is IT worth it?" were his words

 No less than 70 big electric locomotives will be required for handling ships in the locks of the Panama canal, for under no circumstances will ship be allowed to navigate under its own power.
 Two locomotives will tow each ship, and two will be fastened to the stern to act as brakes. The canal commission has just awarded contract for one loco motive to the General Electric company. and if it is satisfactory 8 others will be called for at total cost for the 70 of s4gS, ,0l6.

A big fire in Richmond, Va, recently was the means of demonstrating conclti- sively the superiority of the modern motor driven fire apparatus over the old type. For IS hours a big pumping engine kept two streams going on the fire practically without intermisson and within a few minutes after 1t returned to headquarters 1t was ready for another call
 During the entire time the engine was working from just before 6 D. m. until it was ordered back to quarters by Chief Joynes at a. m, the chauffeur, who was also engineer and mechancian, occasion ally poured a bucket of gasoline into the tank and went over his machine with an oil can.
 The steam fire engines at work during the same period each required two men in attendance, an engineer and a fireman. Their total consumption of fuel was more than 25 tons of steam coal. The bill for running the gasoline pump at full speed for 13 hours came to $450.
 A few minutes after o'clock the engine backed into it's house, had its tanks filled, its parts oiled and the driver reported it ready for duty.
