The United States Can Well Be Proud

The transformation from the SAIL

ed mass Of machinery known as the

pronounced than the improvement

mel of the men who compose the hu-
man working parts Of these great ma
chimes. Time was when the navy was
looked upon by many as a sort Of re-
form school, q last resort to which
young men could be sent who were not
quite bad enough to be put in jail and
not good enough to roam at large. Such
conditions have fortunately passed
away and the American navy today Is
composed of brains and muscle Of the
highest order and a personnel OF
which the country can we'll be proud.
I was especially impressed with this
fact when during the past season I
spent some days in a well-known New
England port which is seldom without
one or more naval vessels during the
summer. At this particular time there
were four battleships and eight small
er fighting craft, with a total Of over
1000 men on board. On two Of the
battleships the men had not set foot
on land for six months-an unusually
long time-and naturally were anxious
to get ashore. When I saw the ships
steam launches towing the long lines
of boats filled with 1000 men, with
twenty -four hours shore leave, "a hot
time in the old town tonight" seemed
to me inevitable. And there's where I
guessed wrong.
The young men were allowed the
fullest. liberty; they had plenty Of mon
ey and were very live wires and the
saloons and places Of amusement were
making special efforts and working
overtime to attract visitors.
When the twenty-four hours expired
and the launches came putting into
dock again watched the boys load in
to their respective ships boats, and out
Of 1000 two-just two boys-required
assistance from their comrades. And
the chief Of police told me his men had
not had occasion to arrest a single
man. To me the high standard Of con-
duct, the respect for the uniform and
respect for ones self which is taught
these young men was most impress
sive thing. Can you imagine 1000
young men Of equal age. landsmen, in
cluding clerks in banks, offices and
stores, and skilled young men in all
the various mechanical trades, going
out on their first holiday in six
months, with plenty Of money to spend
and all restraint removed, and coming
back at the end Of twenty-four hours
with only two men disabled"
The conduct Of the boys Of the navy,
ashore in their own land, with less ne
cessity for constraint than in a foreign
port, deserves the highest commenda-
ton and better words Of praise and
congratulation than these few lines
express.-Popplar Mechanics.

Sweeping recommendations for
legislation designed to help develop
ment of agriculture In the United
States are contained in an elaborate
report forwarded to Washington from
Paris by the American ambassador
Myron T. Herrick, who has completed
an exhaustive investigation Of the sys-
TENS of agriculture credit facilltles, In
operation in Europe. The work OF
compiling material for the formula
ton of the plans of an efficient land
and agricultural system has been car
ried on under directions from Presi-
dent Taft and Mr.. Herrick has been
assisted by a commission which reach
cd Paris from the United States In
July. Edwin Chamberlain of San An
tonic, one of the commission, VINO
represents the American Bankers as
sociation, will report to that organiza-
ton. The ambassador recommends
the adoption by the United States OF
the Raiffaisen system of agricultural
co-oneratiye credit societies. This
system has been practically success
ful in Germany where its operations
represent half the business OF the
commercial banks. 1t includes organ
izations composed Of small co-opera-
tive societies whereby farmers are
able to borrow money for snort time
on their collective guarantee. Inese
societies have become the nucleus OF
series of central cooperative panks'
The report also recommends that per-
sons interested in the welfare OF the
farmer should form general COM
mittee to direct in the proper way
movement for the loaning Of money
to farmers at lower rates than they
now obtain. The report urges tine
president to place the matter be-
fore the people and suggests holding
state conventions and then natlonai
convention at which permanent
committee should be appointed. In
this way the people would gradually
become educated to realizing the ne
cessity of adopting uniform state laws
authorizing the establishment OF new
banking institutions whose sole pur-
pose would be to loan money to farm-
ers under conditions which would per-
NIT the complete wiping out or the
loan through the payment OF interest
over a long period. This Is the essence
of the European system. These credlt
banks would be complimentary TO the
co-operative loan societies which the
ambassador favors as first step in
the financial relief Of the farmers. AS
in the case of cooperative societies
these new loan institutions in the va
rious states would make necessary the
establishment Of credit banks In large
commercial centerS.

Leonard and Umbrella.

The audacity of the leopard in pursuit
of his favorite food Is remarkable. In
Sport on the Nilgiris," Mr. F. w. F.
Fletcher gives an instance In his own
experience while living in India He
adds that he lost probably twenty dogs
at various times, all carried away by
leopards. Some were taken under his
very nose.
One April afternoon had been over
to see a friend about four miles away,
writes Mr.. Fletcher, and shortly after
I left his bungalow on my return home,
It began to rain. AS riding was un-
comfortable in the wet, got off my
nag, and gave him to the horsekeeper.
After a mile the rain stopped, and the
sun came out; but shut my umbrella
and determined to walk the rest Of the
way home. Before me trotted five lit
tie terriers, behind me came the syce,
leading my horse. We reached a sharp
bend in the road, and the doggies had
disappeared round 1t, when I saw the
whole pack rushing back full tilt, with
a leopard at the heels Of the hindmost
dog.
Just as they reached me, the leopard
seized Flirt, and at the same moment
landed" him blow on the head
with all my force with the umbrella,
which flew into splinters. The leopard
dropped the dog, but his impetus was
so great that he could not stop, and
rushing past me, he knocked my syce
clean off his legs. Then he jumped into
the grass bordering the road.
The change that came over our
peaceful procession in that one instant
was astonishing. There stood I in the
road, fiabbergasted, with IL broken UNI
brella- handle in my hand; my syce
was roaring blue murder on his back;
my horse was boiling for home like
runaway engine, and my five little dogs
were shivering at my feet. I picked
Flirt I'D and carried her home. She
was badly bitten in the neck, but ire
quent applications Of phenyl soon MADE
the wounds heal, and in a fortnight or
so she was we'll again. But she was
changed dog. She would come out
with me, but she always stuck to my
heels, and nothing would induce her 10
enter the scrub or join the other dogs
in a hunt of any kind.

TAKING A CHANCE ON DEATH.

How Life Insurance Companies are
Able to Figure Average Life OF HUI
man Being.
If you were told to figure out the
problem of human life and determine
the average age at which men die you
would probably declare 1t Impossible TO
do so with any degree Of accuracy. But
there's where you are mistaken, for on
the solution of that very problem the
great life insurance companies base all
their financial strength. BY knowing
to a mathematical certainty, just how
long the average man will live they are
able to fix an equitable rate of insur-
ance and maintain sufficient funds to
meet all just claims, and-what Is vi
tally important-earn interest mean

Contrary to the general belief life
