BETTING AT SEA Is A
POPULAR AMUSEMENT

People at sea bet on all sorts of
contingencies. An emigrant ship
from England was recently APP
preaching the Australian coast, and
an interesting event was expected at
any moment in the married peoples
quarters. Considerable speculation
and excitement was developed over
the question whether the happy
event would take place within or
without the three-mile limit. A
great cheer went up when it was Of
ficially announced that the little
stranger was legally an Australian,
and had earned the &5 baby bonus
of the commonwealth. A minute or
two earlier and the child would
have been a native of Stepney. Lon

at sea belong.-[London Chronicle.

DEATH MET HIM WHILE
AT MORNING PRAYER

Lexington, KY, Sept. Al. j.
Fallon, who for the last ten years
has been manager for the Fallon
Coal Company, and was a well
known business man of this city,
was found dead, kneeling by his
bedside in the attitude of prayer
when a member of his family wenr
to awake him for breakfast this
morning. 1t is supposed that Mr..
Fallon, who was a devout Cath bic,
had risen to pray as usual his early
morning devotions and that death
came suddenly before his prayer
was ended. Mr. Fallon was SO
years old and was born and reared
in Cincinnati, where his aged motif
err and other relatives still live. He
left there about thirty-five years ago
and has lived in this city practically
ever since. He has been for ten
years manager of the Fallon Coal
Company, which operated two large
coal yards in this city and was an
active member of St. Paul's Catho-
lie church.
He is survived by eight children,
his aged mother and several sisters
and brothers. His wife died last
May.

price. and of this $45S is charged
up as the cost Of buying, killing.
marketing, etc, leaving his profit
on the single steer only $2.3O. or
course It is the magnitude of his OPP
erations that enables him to do this
on so small margin. Anyhow, a
total of $6.SS of the consumers
money is left in the hands of the
packer, which is probably very much
less than he supposed the packer
got.
The feeder is the next in line. He
buys livestock from the ranchman,
fattens IL and sells 1t. He paid
$19.25 for this steer and sold it for
$500. There is an apparent profit
of 5000, which is very tidy prof
IL on a $40 investment, but the feed
er says he does not get it. Far
from it. He says the expense of fat
tening the steer comes to $3.50.
The animal lives well in its last
days, anyhow, for $500 is charged
up against him for corn alone. Moro
over. the feeder pays the expense of
marketing him. which comes to
s2.10. and leaves a profit of $11.70
to the feeder for his work in pre-
pairing the steer for his fate.
However. We are seeking to find
where the money goes, and it is ev-
ident that 5000 of the consumers
money in this case stays right with
the feeder. The balance ($19.25)
goes to the farmer.
The railroads? Oh, yes, they get
some. They get $3.50 for taking
this particular steer to market, and
the commission man who sells it
gets 80 cents. That is all charged
up in the feeders expense under
the head of marketing.

Why EVERY PHYSICIAN
Should Have a GOOD VOICE

TO realize Yet in educational circles, the
tradition that the voice needs no cultivation
persists, and SO far as systematic training
goes, it Is the most neglected Of all the func.

schools show complete lack OF training in
voice and expression They speak in harsh.
broken, discordant tones and with nasal in.

This, DR.. Crothers believes, intcrferes ser.

urges, should begin in the medical colleges
and every student should be taught that his
voice is an organ worth cutivating and that
II can be Of far more practical value to him
than many other resources that are con.

y good voice not only creates a fayorable
impression of doctors ability, but it is
often OF positive benefit to his patients Az
DR.. Crothcrs points out, the physician with
musical voice is much more welcome in the

courage to the patient by striking, like the
