SERVICES BEYOND ALL PRICE
Country Owes Much to Men Who
Safeguarded the Vast Commerce
Of the Nation.

A lightship must keep always in
one particular place. Anchored to
the bottom Of the sea, she has her
steam always up, but she never sails
unless relieved by another ship so
that she may put into port for repairs.
And such a boat IS used because a
warning must be given at place
where 1t is impossible to build light
house, and where even the clamor of
a gigantic bell buoy is not sufficient
to warn the navigator. No matter
how fiercely the storm beats or how
desperate may be the boats plight,
she must stay at her mornings. The
only movement she Is allowed to
make under the regulations is to sink
when at last she can withstand the
gale no longer. 1t would bring them
deserved recognition If the govern
ment ever published list of those
who have lost their lives In the line
Of such perilous duty. For about
100000 year these men and their
craft save from disaster the billions
Of dollars worth Of shipping and com
merce that come to American shores.

NOT so MUCH TO BE PlTIED
Visiting Enelishmen Wasted Sympathy
on Man of Millions Who Was
Out for Exercise.

James Stillman once received a
group Of British financiers In his i'm
posing New York Office and enter
tanned them at luncheon in the Met
ropolitan club. Afterward he excused
himself. saying that he had important
business. "But you can use my big
French motor" he said, pointing to
a splendid $4,000 machine that stood
outside. They accepted his invitation
and started off.
A few hours later the Britons were
speeding down a Hill on the Hudson
river drive. Suddenly they spied a
lone cyclist toiling up the incline. He
was pumping hard, but making
progress. AS they neared him one of
the Britishers said:
Il wonder who that begger is?"
Poor devil!" remarked another.
When they raced past him they saw
that the poor devil was their host,
the head of one of the greatest of
world banks, in whose costly car they
were riding.-Saturday Evening Post,

Aoed Should Eat SparingIy.

A British scientist lays down a
regimen of hygiene for the treatment
of the aged. 1t is pointed out that the
aged require less food of all kinds,
because they utilize less. Oyerfeed-
ing, or rather a normal adults ration,
overtaxes their digestive powers and
floods the blood with effete products
which the kidneys and other emunc-
tories cannot handle. Drinking water
should be encouraged, and baths,
which should be taken regularly,
should be neither hot nor cold, of
short duration, and preferably In the
evening, when they conduce to good
nights sleep. Fresh air and exercise
are indispensable. Clothing should
be light, warm, loose and of wooden
material. The feet should be well pro-
tected.

Animal idiosYncracies.

Many are the idiosyncracies of AMI
mails. Some horses are afraid Of {
dog, some of a bit of paper, some
of a bear, some OF a car. l have
known two mules to shy at q big vel
low cucumber on a fence, and COW
we formerly owned could not endure
to see any mans hat removed.
The oldest trick recorded of a rid
ing animal is that of Balaam's ass
who tried to crush it's riders foot
against the wall. Biting, paving and
boiling are also described in the Scrip
lures. A balky team figures in Esop
and Chauser. That the horses OF
the Saracens used to shy is shown by
the traditional inquiry, eff they
thought King Richard was in that
bush?" This same baking, or jib-
bling, in all its varieties is one of the
most aggravating of vices.-From "a

offer of good Offices when rendered
Saturday, the first step now is com
pleted and the way paved for actual
negotiations looking to a peaceful
clearing up of the situation.
Worldwide Influences.
Pressure from Germany, Great Brit
ain and France advising Huerta to
accept the first steps toward media
ton and the approving attitude of
Latin-American countries emphasized
the worldwide influences which are
working to bring about peace.
Meanwhile, the navy and war de-
partments are continuing their efforts
to care for refugees and perfecting
plans for any unexpected turn in
events.
Officers are Informed.
Secretary Daniels announced that
he had telegraphed the full text of the
mediation offer and it's acceptance by
the United States to both Rear Ad-
mirals Badger and Howard, with in
structions to have the commanders of
all ships on the east and west coasts

No Actual Proposals.

While Secretary Bryan and govern
ment officials expressed d:sinclina-
ton to discuss the mediation plan dur
ing it's present stage, they said it had
not reached the point OF actual pro-
posals
The American government has sim
ply formally expressed its willing
ness to listen to any plan of interme-
diation which the Representatives of
Argentina, Brazil and Chilli may for
mulate.
The attitude of the administration
has long been established that the
elimination of Huerta was an essen
tial to any final settlement of the
Mexican problem. This view was rel
terated as recently as Saturday at the
White House when senators and rep
resentatives were consulted as to the
proposal of good offices
War Talk SuppIanted
War talk in congress was supplant-
were surface outbreaks in the house,
mostly along political lines, but the
undercurrent of gossip which last
week had grown into a formidable
sentiment that the president should
adopt extreme measures, almost dis
appeared during the days session Of
the house
In its place were interest and cur
iosity regarding the outcome of the eff
forts of the South American republic
to appease the situation. Chaplain
Couden of the house in opening pro-
ceedings referred to the pacific efforts
under way.
SIackening of Tension.
Unofficial advices from Mexico City
already had made it virtually certain
that General Huerta would accept
the offer of the peace ENJOYS, but the
formal announcement tended to fur
Their relieve the slackening tension of
the crisis. The news was given to
President Wilson, who expressed him
self as greatly pleased, though he
would make no further comment.
White House officials let it be
known that they were earnestly desir-
Gus of aiding the South American dip
lomats in every way possible.
Probable Way of Handling.
1t has been generally understood
here that the peace ENJOYS expect to
deal directly with the situation Great
ed by the resentment by the United
I States government against the Tam
pico incident and other ofenses
against it's honor and dignity, hoping
/ to bring about a peaceful settlement.

LIKE THE ORDINARY SAILOR
Choice Of Cup Defenders Name
Proves That Yachtsmen Are Not
Above SUPERSTITION.

Perhaps a sloop yacht would sail
just as fast if you called her the Jag
or Late to Dinner. Her lines and
her canvas would be unaffected, and
that is all that seems TO count, as
landsmen have a notion that the
name is important. Eight letters
have appeared in the name Of each
cup winner in the last dozen years
Defender, Vigilant, Columbia and
Reliance. And if the Herre3hoir
yacht, built by the New York clubs
syndicate, wins out in the trial ace
and is chosen to defend the cup, she
will bear the name Resolute, which
has the eight-letter mascot.
OId-timers will remember that the
Puritan had seven letters, and the
MayAowcr and the Volunteer nine
each. They may doubt whether eight
letters will help us win against Lip
toms Shamrock ", The name Res
olute is already borne by the flag
ship of the New York Yacht club, an
auxiliary sloop, A schooner of the
same name was the winner of sew
eral prizes some thirty years ago.
All Americans will keep their eyes
on the Resolute, and will wish her
well, She will be beaten, in any
case, only by a better boat, and we
have a fixed national conviction that
a better boat cannot be built in Brit
ish yards.
