The Lucky Number,

An amusing story concerning the
Greek naval lottery appears in a Paris
journal. 1t seems that the tickets
were hawked about the Piraeus and
were eagerly purchased from the com,
bined motive of patriotism and the ex.
citement attendant upon gamble
One day hawker stopped outside a
milk shop and, seeing an ass standing
by laden with eggs, cheese and but.
ter, to tantalize the animal took one
of his tickets and gave it to the beast
The poor beast was struggling with

entable. when a grocer on the opposite
side OF the way who had seen what
was happening, rushed across and res.
cued the ticket. THAT ticket" he
said to the hawker, will win a prize,
and will buy it." He did SO and the
ticket drew a prize of thirty thousand
francs.

Goethe's Birthday.

An amusing story, taken from Bodies
book on Goethe, appears in Paris
contemporary. In August, 1918, Goe
the went to Carlsbad for the cure, and
placed himself under the care of DR.
Rehbein. One morning when he rose
he requested Charles, his domestic, to
place bottle of red wine and a glass
in each of the two windows in the
room.
Then the poet walked round and
round the apartment, stopping at each
window to drink glass of wine
When he had nearly emptied the bot
ties the doctor arrived. "Ah." said
Goethe, you are come. Do you know
it is my birthday" NO" said the
doctor, at is not your birthday. II
falls tomorrow"
Only the production of the almanac
could convince Goethe that he was a
day out in his reckoning When he
discovered his mistake he gave vent
to strong expression which Scott
puts in the mouth of Capt. Manly
Ewart, and, after long pause, turn
ing to the doctor, said: Then have
got drunk for nothing"

SEAS PERILS EVER PRESENT
Maneuvsrs and Sham Battles Cannot
Bs Held Without the Element
Of Danger.

1t is the great distinction of the sea
that its peace maneuvers are never
sham fights. To whatever branch or
grade Of the naval service a seaman
may belong, when he is on active
service he is always face to face with
'the real thing" A mistake of any
sort, a pardonable miscalculation, a
momentary failure of nerve or atten-
ton, or even some small unavoidable
accident, may involve the forfeit OF
many lives. Hence the magnificent
training the sea imposes in manli
ness, resourcefulness and self-control
The submarine branch of the navy
has undoubtedly risks and dangers Of
Its own, as the sad tale of previous
disasters plainly shows; and when a
catastrophe unhappily occurs it is OF
nature to make a profound impress
sion upon the public. But in relation
to the number of submarines in com
mission, and to the constant exercise
they undergo, the picked officers and
men who serve in them do not incur a
risk out of all proportion greater thap
their comrades in other branches.
Danger and risk are no peculiar
prerogative of the submarine Daily
faced in the routine of duty and daily
overcome, they form the very founda
ton of naval character, and are 3
pledge, in no small degree, of the Sc
curity upon which as nation we re
pose.
