himself out in the soft mass through
which he was struggling, painting with
exhaustion. He shouted when he gain

the white blur OF snow on the other
side there came TO him family a shout;
yet, in spite OF its faintness. Jan knew
that IL was very near.
Something has happened to Ledoq,"
he told himself, but be surely has

II was easier going down the ridge,
and he went quickly in the direction
from which the voice had come. until
mass OF huge powders doomed up be-

smoke in the air. and he followed It IN

stronger.
"Ho. Ledoq" he shouted.
A voice replied a dozen yards away.

close to him, leaning down, staring at
him in the dim lamplight, and as Jan
lifted his own eyes he knew that in
the pale. eager face of the man above
him there was written a grief which
might have been a reflection of his
own. Something reached out to Jan
and set his tired blood tingling. He
knew that this man was not forest
man. He was not OF his people. His
face bore the stamp of the people to the
south, OF civilization. And yet some
thing passed between them. leaped all
barriers and made them friends before
they had spoken. The stranger reach
ed down his hand. and Jan reached up
his. All OF the loneliness, the clinging
TO hope, the starving desire Of two men
for cOmpanionship, passed In the long
grip of their hands.
You have just come down." said
the man half questioningly. THAT
was your sledge out there?"
Yes" said Jan.
The stranger sat down in the chair
next to Jan.

eagerly.

ILLIrERAcY DECLINING.

The constant attention to better ed- ucation, the requirement. that children must go to school up to a certain age and the laws which are against child labor, are all proving their value in the reduction of illiteracy in this coun- try. That it is being steadily cut down is a cause for rejoicing and every effort should be made to keep 1t on the decline. How effective the improved conditions are becoming is shown not only by the fact that in the entire population there has been a re- duction in the illiteracy of the United States from 10.7 in 1900 to 7.7 per cent. in 1910, but among children from ten to fourteen years of age, where the reduction in illiteracy shows decline from 7.2 to Al per/cent. They are the coming generation. The Notal number of children unable to read or write, between those ages was 370 by the last census, of whom 144,659 were white.
 These figures show that illiteracy is gradually being eliminated in this country, and that when the present generation of children grows up to manhood and womanhood, illiteracy in the United States, especially among the white population, will be no great CT than in the most advanced coun- tries of Europe. The striking decrease in illiteracy among children applies to no one particular locality of the coun- try, it being general throughout the United States. The northern part of the country, however, shows it prac- tically disappeared. The south is mak- ing great gains both among the whites and the negroes.

FIRE AT SEA,

Another direction in which efforts must be turned for the protection of lives at sea is in reducing the lfkeli- hood of fire, or providing adequate and efficient means for the fight ing of the flames when they break out in the cargoes of vessels. Every little while there comes the news of vessels being abandoned, or calling for aid, because of fire. The construction of modern vessels has to a certain ex- tent overcome much of the danger from fires which wooden vessels are subject to, but there still remains the cargo, which is the cause of trouble in majority of the cases. The ap- pliances for the fighting of fire on ves- sells have not kept pace with the work on land, or if they have there has been no general haste in their installation.
 Though surrounded by water, a ves- sel is oftentimes in more perilous position because of it's inability by it. self to overcome the headway which the flames have gained. The equip ment of vessels with sprinkler systems will accomplish much, but the use of chemicals for the smothering of a fire would seem to be one of the inn portant methods of procedure where cargo fires break out. It is evident that while modern vessels may be equipped with efficient apparatus that there are many which are not and in such cases the need of improvement can be readily appreciated. There have been catastrophes enough from burning vessels to make the reform apparent.

THE LABoRINe MANS CHOICE.

The worl1ingman who has his own welfare at stake in the coming elec- ton is not going to be carried off his feet by the promises of a party which has little likelihood of fu1flment. If there ts sincerity in the support of some of the blanks of the new party's platform, why is 1t that such support and influence were not given to those same blanks which have adorned oth- CT platforms for the past thirty years. the prohibition platform having re- peatedly advocated them7
 When it comes to the tariff, the rec ord of the third party candidate is a blank. He had absolutely nothing to say concerning the great measure during his two terms in the White house. He immediately turned to an- other subject when requests that the revision of the tariff be taken up, Now he promises the placing of the benefit of the tariff in the pay envelope, but he doesn't tell how he is going to do it. It Is a promise. His position on tariff promises is wanting. If, as his friends say, he hasn't changed, his future conduct will be like his past. Under President Taft, there has been different attitude. The president has urged revision in accordance with re- ports of the tariff board. Attempts were made to lower 1t regardless of the data obtained and in a manner which would have done great harm to the country. He had the courage to veto them, and the worlkingmen can today thank him for the fact that business in the industries of the coun- try was never better and promises still better for the future. What great harm would have been wrought to the industries of this end of the state can be realized when the slashing of the tariff would have cut the protection on their product anywhere from ten to 49 per cent, and in some cases en- tirely removed them. Such would have meant reducing the number of employees and less pay, an effect upon the pay envelope which no workman wants.
 The interest of the laboring man has been carefully guarded by the presi- dent, and he has established a record which backs 1t up. No administration has done more for labor than the pres ent, even though it has been done quietly.
