shape to graduate And among the
things that must be plugged up
on is one not included in the courses
o. study, but that is so important
that it stands every boy well in hand
to have the lesson learned before he
goes out from his school to work.
It is the lesson of giving full
measure.
The boy who enters upon his ca
reer OF Work-and every career is
career of work-with the idea in his
mind not to do more than he is paid
for doing will never be paid very
much. But the boy who always gives
even trife more of service than he
is paid for doing, will mighty soon
be paid for doing more.
1t is the little things that count.
The boy who gets on the job three
minutes late every morning with
perfect regularity is robbing his en-
ployer Of only small amount of un-
earned wages. But he is robbing
himself of vastly more. He is rob-
bing himself of the confidence and
faith OF his employer. He is rob-
bing himself Of his chance of ad-
vancement He may advance be-
cause Of his ability, but he will new
er advance as he might have done
had he evidenced a disposition 10
give a full measure of service, heap
ed up and running over.
Wages are figured on the hour
basis and time is money. The boy
who enters the store or shop or Of
fice where he is employed just as the
clock strikes the hour of starting
work is deluding himself if he
thinks he is satisfying his employer
He isn't. He is robbing his employ
er and no employer is satisfied when
he knows he is being robbed daily,
even If he does not say anything
about it. The man back of the pay
roll is not called upon to pay for -an
employees time while he engages
himself in the leisurely occupation
of removing his hat and coat, rolling
up mis- sleeves, warming up his fin
gers and toes at the stove, visiting
the toilet, ETC., before starting up
on his work in the morning, one
whit more than he is called upon to
pay for the employees time while he
walks from his home to the place
where he works, or while he eats
his breakfast, or even while he
dresses. II ! O'Clock is the hour
when work begins, o'clock ought
to be the hour when work Is begun,
not three or thirty-three minutes af-
ter o'clock. The boy who learns
that lesson learns a lesson more val
liable than Latin. When he gradu-
ates If he knows enough to give a
full measure of service, it will not
make much difference If he did
have hard time getting by on his
algebra.

INTERVENTION AND ITS COST.

Intervention in Mexico is not in evitable. It may come. The situa- tion is critical and the foreign na- tions may not consent to much fur ther delay in aggressive action by the United States, but each days delay encourages t e hope that some way may be found to make intervention unnecessary The diplomatic corps in Mexico City is unanimous in the opin- ion that only intervention by the United tSates can save Mexico and that such drastic action is inevitable. President Wilson fully appreciates the gravity of the situation and is bringing every pressure to bear to induce Huerta and his supporters to join with the Washington authorities in saving Mexico from anarchy.
 The cost of intervention would be tremendous. Americans are cock-sure of the ability of our army and navy to take possession of Mexico in short order and restore peace. There is no doubt that victory would follow our arms, but students of military affairs predict that it would mean a warfare extending over a dozen years and call for the services of 500,000 men. It would cause another heavy drain on the credit of the world.

 ROAD FRANCHISE

Says the Juneau Empire: District Attorney Rustgard today stated that he would begin civil suit immedi- ately on behalf of the government for the cancellation of the Bracket Road" franchise, controlling the wag- on road right of between Skag- way and the international boundary line at White Pass. It is represent ed that the British Columbia govern ment is prepared to build a wagon road to the boundary line that will connect with similar road between Skagway and that point. The dis trict attorney says that he has been carrying on negotiations with the White Pass and Yukon, who bought the franchise when they built the railroad, for the cancelling of the franchise, but that the company has failed to relinquish it's claim hence the suit will be instituted.

ESCAPE FROM SHARKS.
Man Fights For Life With Knife
When Thrown Into Water.

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 11.-Forced to
take to life boats after their vessel
was wrecked during a hurricane off
the South Carolina coast, Captain }.
W. Murphy and nine men, Of the
four-masted schooner John Twohy,
faced death for many hours before
they were picked up by the British
steamer Kinslea, which brought them
to this port yesterday.
The men were sighted Wednesday
evening and life boat in charge OF
second officer Herbert Pussy, Of the
Kinslea, started to the rescue. The
waves were so high the lifeboat was
forced to return to the steamer and
was smashed to pieces against the
sides of the big vessel.
John McGaskill, seanon, was
thrown overheard and came near be-
ing devourcd by sharks. He fought
them off with his knife until he was
almost exhausted. His shlpmates
threw life belt, which he seized
with one hand and fought off the
sharks with the other. He managed
to fastcn the belt to his body, and his
shirmates dragged him through the
raging sea at rapid rate. The
sharks followed in hot pursuit. 1t
was a thrilling race for life, but Nc
Gaskill won. He was completely ex-
hausted when hauled up on deck Of
the Kinslea.
A second life boat was launched
and started to the assistance OF
the crew of the schooner, who were
waving franticalIy to them. Hun
drcds of sharks were swimming
around the boat apparently waiting
in expectancy of what was certain Il
have happened had not the kIns'ea
sighted the imperilcd men. Inc mef
were finally taken in the big lIi'
boat and placed on board the kins'
lea.
The Twohy, with cargo OF lum'
her was bound to New York IRON

the actual amount required TO meet its
own losses.
In Illinois the death losses are 22L per
cent or the aggregate losses, while the
Illinois membership was only one-si&th
OF the entire membership. During the
year 1912 the society collected twelve as
sessments. and after providing for all
I9I 800. while in 1911 eleven assessments
produced a surplus of S2,li4, PCS. showing
farther falling off in surplus. During
1912 the losses incurred In Illinois
amounted to s2.65S. 600. or about 22 per
cent OF the aggregate losses for the year.
The members in Illinois contributed to
the benefit fund therefor $3.50 .26e, or
$U,I3O less than was required TO pay
their own losses. This deficit was made
UP by other jurisdictions. The actual
losses incurred would have required ten
full assessments and 46-l00th part of an
additional assessment. In the event that
only sufficient had been collected TO meet
its losses, the deficit from members I'M
Illinois would have been S40S. 779 as they
would have contributed only S22t9 2a0
and withdrawn Sc. Sos. 600. showing deficit
OF about is per cent in their contribu-

that In lllinois-the oldest jurisdiction OF

there must be an increase either i'm the
