An OcuIist Cook.

When a certain Mobile man stopped
for luncheon at a small railway sta
tion eating house in a Mississippi
town, an old darky shuffled up and an.
nounced in q gruff voice the bill OF
fare consisted Of ham, eggs, cornbread
and coffee.
After due 'deliberation the traveller
stated that he would like some ham.
eggs, corn bread and coffee.
Such a pretentious order for one per.
son only appeared to stagger the aged
servitor. But he soon recovered his
equanimity and started toward the
kitchen. Then he turned and came
back with this inquiry:
BOSS, how will yo' hab dem eggs,

Washingtoa. Like the missing
horseshoe nail that cost a monarch
his kingdom, the failure to provide
binoculars or spy glasses for the 10 ok
outs on the Titanic was one contrib
uting cause of that ships loss and,
with it. the loss of more than sixteen
the Senate investigating committee
agreed on this. They were Frederick
Fleet, a lookout on the liner, and Ma
jor Arthur Godfrey Peuchen, Canadian
manufacturer and yachtsman, who was
among the rescued passengers.
Fleet acknowledged that if he mad
been aided in his observation by
good glass he could probably have
spied the berg into which the ship

Major Peuchen also testified to the
much greater sweep of vision afforded
by binoculars, and, as yachtsman,
said he believed the presence of the
iceberg might have been detected in
time to escape the collision had the
lookout men been so equipped.
1t was made to appear that the
blame for being without glasses did
not rest with the lookout men. Fleet
said they had asked for the glasses at
Southampton and were told there were
none for them. One glass, in pin :h,
would have served, in the crows nest.
Major Peuchen criticized in strong
terms the lack of experienced sailors
on board the Titanic. He said that
when the call to quarters was sounded
undertake the work required in lower
ing and filling the boats.
Furthermore. he said. no drills had
been held from the time the ship left
Southampton, although it was custom
AIRY to hold such drills every Sunday.
Herbert J. Pitman, third officer OF
the Titanic. told of his failure to turn
back the liieboat in which he and lis
passengers were idly drifting. to at
tempt the rescue of others when the
Titanic went down. Shuddering at the
recollection, he said the cries for help
made zone long. continuous moan"
The passengers insisted that to go
back to aid would mean their destrlc-
ton, he said, so that after starting N
the direction of the cries, he rescinded
his orders and waited for the dawn.

Billy" Bowen, former Sheriff
of Powell county, was shot Sun
day by Henry Skidmore, who
in turn was shot and mortally
wounded by Reese Bowen, a
brother of Billy" Bowen. 1t
is claimed Bowen was accidntall Y
shot while he and Skidmore were
scuffling over the possession of a
a revolver, and when Reese Bow
en- came up and saw his brother
had been shot, supposed that
Skidmore had done the shooting
and opened fire, one of the shots
taking effect in his brothers alb
domen and it is probable that this
shot. caused his death. Skidmore
was taken to Lexington where he
was operated on, but his recovery
is very doubtful.
There was but one witness to the
chooting and the above informa-
tion was secured from a relative of
all the parties. The Bowen's and
