The Turi'ev Trust.

Capt. Sol jacobs Of Gloucester,
who is knCwu as tke 'Mackerel
King" said q . recent fish dinner:
The successful fisherman is the
man who can take advantage even
of adverse things head winds,
storms, billiards, and so on.
In a word, the successful fisher
man is like the little boy who en-
tered the poulterer's shop and said:
rs it true that there's a turkey
trust sir?"
Yes, nv boy, AIN sorry to say
it is true there il n turkey trust
the poultcrer replied.
Then, sir the little fellow went
on, ma says will VOL please trust
her for a plump youns turkey of
nine or ten pounds?'- Los Angeles

Whales Live 1000 Years.

Undoubtedly the longest lived
animal on earth is the whale, its
span Of existence being estimated
by CuVoir at 1000 years. The next
largest animal, the elephant, will,
under favorable conditions, live four
hundred years.
When Alexander the Great con-
quercd Porus, King Of India. he
took great elephant that had
fought calamity for the defeated
king, named him Ajax, dedicated
him to the sun, placed upon him a
metal band with the inscription,
Alexander, the son Of Jupiter, died.
icatcd AjaN 20 he sun" The clt-
phHnt was found $50 years later
The average age Of cate is Is
years; Of squirrels, 7 to 8 years; Of
rabbits, 7; bear rarely exceeds 70
years; a wolf, 20: a fox, Ia to 1G.
Lions are comparatively long lived,
instances having been recorded
where they reach the age Of 70.
Pigs have been known to live
twenty years and horses sixty, but
the average aGe Of the horse Is Is
to 80. Camcls sometime live to the
age of 100 and stays are very long
lived, one having been taken by
Charles VI in the forest Of SeDlla

Efforts have been made to con-
meet the rapidity of the pulse beat

seen from the fact that the pulse Of
a lion beats forty times a minute

Collection

The many Americas friends of Rev
Allen Fort will appreciate the fol-
lowing excellent story taken from
the current issue of the Saturday Ev-
ening Post:
The Rev. Allen Fort pastor of the
Baptist Tabernacle in Chattanooga,
asked j. B. Capeheart, a railroad con-
ductor, to take up the collection one
day. 1t was Mr.. Capeheart's first ex-
perience as a taker of collections in
church.
He started down the center aisle.
There were several children in the
It pew and each put in penny The
people in the next pew each contrib
uted something each. A big, glum fell
low sat alone in the third pew. Cape
heart passed him the plate. The man
shook his head and stuck his hands
de ~ in his pocket.
Capeheart stopped, put his hand up
as if to jerk the bell-cord and said.

TAFT CAN'T rule
HIS CABINET
Officials Have Taken Bits
Between Teeth

Washington, January 20.-Just at
present the most interesting phase Of
the political situation is the peculiar
state of affairs in the cabinet. The
president appears to have surrendered
all control over his heads of depart
ments and a remarkable amount of
autonomy seems to have been granted
them.
The most recent and most sensa-
tional outcropping of official anarchy
it is hardly necessary to say, was the
announcement by Postmaster General
Hitchcock that he was going to ask
congress to fix it so that he could
take the telegraph companies under
his wing.
But this is not the only indication
that Mr.. Taft has relinquished control
over the members of his cabinet. When
Mr.. Taft kicked Clifford Pinchot, the
chief forester, out, he seems to have
exhausted his powers of domination,
for he faced about and allowed Secre>
| tary Fisher unlimited leeway as to the
control of the interior department.
Mr. Fisher made a little trip to
Alaska. He looked into the Morgan
helm scandal, came home and an
nounced that all was well on the Yu-
kon and around Controller Bay
Mr.. Stimson decided to stir up the
army, and everybody knows what fol-
lowed
Secretary Meyer concluded that the
navy needed shaking up, so he got
busy. He has created a pretty little
howdy-do, and his warm Supporters
and his bitter enemies are crashing
their teeth at each other, while the
president pursues the even thor of his
way. A day or two ago Mr.. Myer re-
fused to wise the presidents proposal
to re-appoint Rear Admiral Holly
day as chief of the bureau of yards
and docks, and appointed a man of
his own choosing
Then there vas the Wilson Wiley
miX-up, while many less notable in
stances of the absence of team work
in the cabinet might be mentioned.
Those given, however, serve to show
how far ehpresident has gone in al
lowing his cabinet officers to take the
initiative in handling the important
work of their departments.

Love and MARRIAGE,

Whatever destroys the love faculty,
which is the most divine part of our
being, ought to be corrected as soon
as possible. 1t is better to enter into
life single or divorced than to be de-
stroyed by the married state 1t is
better for the child life to be without
parental influence than to have it's
morals and love destroyed by parents.
Important and sacred as marriage is,
the moral and love nature of man are
more sacred, as they are the eternal
qualities. The marriage institution
like the moral commandments, is sub
iected to the condition and judgment
of men.-Rev. w P Brush, Episco-
