NEWPORT, r. 1.-Two revenue
cutters, the Acushnet and the Seneca,
flashed their searchlights over the
sea southeast of Block island all night
for some trace Of small boats from a
burning vessel Wireless communi-
cation with the cutters was poor and
little could be learned of their search.
The burr ing vessel, apparently a
three of four masted schooner, was
first seer by resident of Block IS
land, ana the revenue cutters were
notified, as the high northwest gale
made it impossible for lifeboats to
put out.

COST or A COCKTAIL.
The Drink a Young Business Man Had
to Have Before Lunch.


In New York city there Is a man
who once paid $4,000 for cocktail.
He did not know II then. and he never
will know It unless he happens TO read
this story.
certain prosperous manufacturing
company needed new departmental
manager The salary was $4,000 n
year The officers of the company
considered Il great many candidates
and at last decided to offer the position
TO n clever young man Of unusual bust
ness ability. He seemed to be exactly
the man for that particular place. The
president and general manager invited
the young man TO lunch with them at
downtown club. ostensibly to talk
over n less important business matter.
They wanted to look him over" just
once more
The man met them nj the appointed
hour. and the president anxious to
make the occasion n pleasant one. or.
dered an elaborate luncheon. The
waiter was long time In bringing
the first course. and the guest began
10 appear III at ease. He seemed alb
scntmindcd and mnintercsted In the
conversation. He twisted about In his
chair and tapped his fingers ncrvonsly
upon the table. Finally he turned to-
ward the president and said almost
desperately. would you mind very
much IL ordered cocktail?" Then
Ing apology for making the request.
The other men exchanged surprised
and significant chances. but they called
the waiter and ordered the cocktail.
When II came the guest drank 1t en-
gerly. In few moments he had be-
come another MANTLE man of keen
vision and quick mind. who could be
so useful In their great business. There
was no more preoccupation In his man
ner. no shifting about in his chair. He
was alert. eager. clear headed.
But ms the luncheon went on neither
the president nor the manager men
toned the real object of the interview.
Each was thinking the matter over Sc
riously. and neither could be sure Of
the others secretly formed opinion.
The situation became awkward. Final
ly the president excused himself on
the pretense of going into the library
10 speak to a friend who had lust en-
tered But after speaking TO hs friend
he went straight 10 the desk and wrote
message on telegraph blank. He
gave the message to uniformed at
tendant and went back to the dining
room.
In few minutes page brought a
telegram 10 the manager. who read it
hurriedly. while the president finished
telling their guest about shooting
trip in Maine This is what the tele-
gram said:
The Job is too big for a boozer We
can't run our business by cocktail power

Greece is taking a determined stand
by the side of Scrvia. In reply to
