ALL WINTER ABOARD WRECK


In winning salvage the Newfound-
landers do not seem to reflect upon
the length of hardship and peril to
which they must go. This Is charac-
teristic of their lives In every respect;
1t Is proverb with them that they
go when they can, and leave getting
back ito luck and good conduct" Not
long ago an American fishing schooner.
abandoned by her crew in the Strait
of Belle Isle in early winter as hope
lessly lost, was carried off In the ice
foe. 1t was the slimmest chance in
the world that the derelict would ever
be seen again. There was not the
slightest expectation, indeed, that she
would be; the underwriters paid the
insurance settlement without COM
plant or question. and crossed the
schooner off for lost. But the schooner
was not lost. She was sighted in her
wanderings by two fishermen. They
boarded from shore, found her hard
and fast in the ice, but still tight and
worthy, a craft to their taste, valu-
able property to which they must
cost them dear; the ice would not
loosen its grip on the schooner-nor
would the fishermen. They might from
time to time have escaped ashore; 1t
would have been the part of wisdom,
perhaps, and certainly the part of eau
ton, to do so: but rather than abandon
their salvage these two cheerfully
reckless fellows stuck to the ship for
the rest Of that bitter winter. When
navigation opened in the spring of the
year, the first mail steamer sighted the
craft, still fast in the ice and manned
by two gaunt skeletons. They had
subsisted through the winter on one
barrel of -four and some frozen herr
ing. Having accomplished this, it was
child's play for them to take their
prize to port when the foe released
her.-George Harding, in Harper's
Magazine.

LIED BEAUTIFULLY TO HER
Amy, Good Woman, Listened to Jim
Bones Autobiography, Expurgated
for Her Ears.

They sat down In the entry Of
Amy's house and talked-that is, Jim
talked. 1t was the first time that he
had willingly given out in Fuckers
vile any of the details of his past. But
now all at once II seemed that he had
an overwhelming desire to get ii
properly expurgated and set forth to
Amy's admiring ears. 1t was no more
the truth than any other mans past is
the truth when he tells 1t to woman.
She inspired him to lie about it beau
tifully, as she inspired Ebert to lie
about his daily existence, and as ev-
cry good woman inspires every bad
man to fabricate his autobiography.
AS he went on with the tale of his
adventures he began to see himself
glorified In the placid, smiling atten-
tion of her sweet blind face de won
dered why in the world he had been
SO secretive about those years in the
west.
Jim Bone perceived all at once that
he was not'the rowdy he had supposed
himself to be. but something of hero
or the chapter-heading smiles upon
Amy's lips. Given the tablet of such
q countenance. and the worst man in
existence can make shining scriptures
of an ill-spent life. The truth is, We
are all photographed liars. But the
funny thing Is that once we see our
selves clarified by such faith as
Amy's, We accept her version, and ex-
perience a shriven peace that must
distract the God who makes our moral
sense, but does not control it after
ward. On this occasion Bone finished
his metamorphosis from the outlaw in
to the modest deprecating hero simply
by method of narrative that left out
the undesirable parts of his real life.
And 1t is one of the commonest mira
cles of conversion practiced by either
men or women-Corra Harris in the

WHY THE HORSE TREMBLEs
Asking Zeus To improve Him, the God
Created and Showed Him the
Camel.

Father of beasts and of men!" SO
spake the horse. approaching the
throne of Zeus-'I am said to be one
of the most beautiful animals with
which thou has adorned the world;
and my self-love leads me to believe
it. Nevertheless, might not some things
in me still be improved?"
"And what in thee thinkest thou,
admits of improvement? Speak! /
am open to instruction" said the in
dulgent god with smile.
Perhaps" returned the horse, 81

and thinner. A long swan neck would
not disfgure me. A broader breast
would add to my strength. And, since
thou hast once for all destined me to
bear thy favorite, mantle saddle
which the we'll meaning rider puts up
on me might be created part of me-"
Good" replied Zeus, wait a mo-
ment!"
Zeus, with earnest countenance, pro-
nounced the creative word. Then
flowed life into the dust; then organ
lzed matter combined; and there stood
before the throne the ugly camel.
The horse saw, shuddered and trem-
bled with fear and adherence.
Here" said Zeus, "are taller and
thinner legs; here is a long swan
neck; here is a broader breast; here
is the created saddle! Wilt thou,
horse! that I should transform thee
after this fashion,"
The horse still trembled
"Go!" continued Zeus. BE instruct
ed, for this once. without being pun
ished. But to remind thee, with oc-
casional compunction, of thy presump-
tion-do thou, new creation, continued"
Zeus cast preserving glance on the
camel. "And never shall the horse
behold thee without trembling."-F

He Speaks Twenty-Three LANGUAGES

Sir Charles Elliot, the newly ap-
pointed principal of Hong Kong uni
versity, who speaks % languages, may
probably hold the record as a linguist
In these degenerate days. But in the
past he would not have borne off the
belt so easily. There was Elihu Bur-
rift, for instance, the Learned Black
smith," born in Connecticut in 1910,
who whilst working as an apprentice
at the forge taught himself French,
Latin, German, Italian, Greek and He
brew. During early manhood he mas
tered Sanskrit, Syriac, Arabic, Morse.
Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Bohemian and
Turkish; then turning his attention to
minor languages and dialects, perse-
vered in his studies until he was able
to read, write and speak in 60 differ
ent ways.
But it took an equal linguist to tell
when Elihu Burritt was telling the
truth.-From the London Chronicle.

Salem, Ore, Sept. 12.-The recent
revolt of the prisoners in the Michigan
state penitentiary at Jackson and the
consequent uncovering of disgraceful
conditions there should serve to call
the attention of the public to the situa :
ton in the Oregon state penitentiary.
It was not more than a year or two
ago that conditions in the Oregon
state penitentiary at Salem paralleled
those at the Michigan state prison
today. The prisoners were discon-
tented and rebellious and the Oregon
prison created a deficit of $4,000
yearly.
Eight months ago Gov. Oswald
West inaugurated a new system.
known as the honor system" and it
has worked with remarkable success.
Under the Oregon plan convicts are
given an incentive to do good work.
They are sent away from the peniten-
tiary without guards to other insti-
tutions to work. They are employed
on the roads. A gang has been sent
from Salem to Medford, a distance of
200 miles, without guard. There they
pitched their tents and began road
building, on which they are still
working.
Each man before leaving gave his
word of honor that he would not at
tempt to escape and that he would
prevent others from escaping.
The men employed in the road max
ing receive pay from the towns and
counties asking for their services.
The convlcts employed around the
insane asylums. tuberculosis sanitar-
ium and industrial schools earn 81 a
day, of which each worker gets rs
cents. The men placed on the honor
roll are the men of good department
who have earned good treatment
Under this system the deficit which
was always burden to the tax pay
ers has been turned into a surplus
Last year the honor system made
50. 900 above all expenses and in addi-
ton furnished $4,000 worth of brick
to various other state institutions.

ALLEGED ACcoMPLIcEs OF

New Orleans, Sept. 12.-Three men

ROSHHASHANAH
WAS OBSERVED
ON YESTERDAY
JEWISH NEW YEAR WAS AP-
PRoPRIATELY CELEBRATED IN
THIS CITY, SERVICES BEING
HELD AT TEMPLE BETHEL
AND BEING WELL ATTENDED.

Rosh Hashanah. or New Years Day,
marking the beginning of the year
1913. was appropriately observed in
the city by the Jewish population.
The day was observed from the even
ing Of Wednesday until SHUTDOWN yes
terday. all Of the Jewish business
houses in the city being closed and
the other exercises of the day were
appropriately observed by the Jews of
the city.
Services in observance of Rosh
Hashanah were observed at Temple
BETHEL. in this city. Wednesday even
ing and yesterday morning, Rabbi
Schwarz preaching at both services.
Wednesday night he preached on "The
Rock of Faith" and yesterday morning
his subject was Taking Stock" Both
of the services were well attended and
the discourses were listened to with
much pleasure.
The Biblical basis for the observance
of the first day of Tishri as a New
Years day and the most solemn day
of the Jewish calendar next to Yom
Kippur or the Day Of Atonement, Is
found in the reference to a Zizzaron
(mel..orial day. in Levitcus XIII, a.
which reads:
TN the seventh month, in the first
day Of the month, shall We have sab
bath, a memorial of blowing Of trum-
pets, holy convocation."
Ezra also refers to the day as one
holy to the Lord" Nehemia VIII
9.
Not a mere day of rejoicing. like the
secular New Year. is the Rosh Has
hanah. It is a day of memorial or a
day of remembrance. reminding the
Jew of the duty of self examination
and self adjustment To arouse the
conscience to this solemn task the
ceremony Of sounding the shofar OF
rams horn. forms an important fea-
ture of the service. Among the ortho-
dox Jews attainment of this object Is
also sought by setting aside q few
days before the New Years day for
the recital, in the synagog, Of peni-
tential prayers called selihot. This
continues until the eve of the Day OF
Atonement. These selihot (chanted In
the minor key) before dawn In the
dimly lit houses of worship. sound the
note of grief and contrition for the
sins of the past year.
In many places the curious ceremony
OF Taslich, originating perhaps with
the German Jews not earlier than the
fourteenth century, is observed on the
afternoon of New Years day. The
.worshippers congregate near running
fstream when the eighteenth to TWEEN
tieth verses of the seventh chapter OF
Micah are intoned, ending with the
phrase which no doubt suggested the
Ceremony. Thou whist cast all theil
sins into the depths of the sea-
After the solemn services on the
evening of Wednesday and the morn
ing of Thursday, the Hebrew greeting
is heard on all sides, signifying "a
good year" or "mayest thou be in
scribed Tin the Book of Life) for q
good year" In latter years a. custom
has appeared of sending to friends
New Years greeting cards of various
designs. colors and inscriptions. When
the earnest devotions of the day are
done. the festival Is made an occasion
of social and domestic rejoicing.
