WHAT A YANKEE CAPTAIN DID
Cape Colder Sailed Into Rio Janeiro
Amidst Shot and Shell, and
Bob" Evans Approved.

Cant. Henry Blaehford was one OF
those old New England sea captains
who "lived better stories than the nov
elist can make up" as somebody mas
said. Captain Blachford's death at the
age of eighty-three at West Yarmouth
reminds me of an incident in his ca
reer that was typical Of the old Yam
kee mariners of past generations, a
writer in the Boston Post states.
On one voyage he arrived at Rio
Janeiro while a rebellion was going
on. and while a rebel fleet was block
aiding the port. He was notified that
if he tried to enter he would be sunk.
Three hundred other vessels lay out
side, overawed by the same threat;
but the Cape Cod mariner refused to
be bluffed.
Hosting an American flag at eacf
masthead he started to enter the har
Dor. A shot was fired across the
ships bow, but Captain Blachfort
sailed steadily on.
He triumphantly entered the har
Dor; the other vessels followed; thu
blockade was ended; that ended th'
rebellion, and Fighting Bob" Evans
who had witnessed the affair, person
ally visited Captain Blachford to con
gratulate him. They we're men afte
each others hearts, that Cape CO..
mariner and that naval hero.

nation concerning the principal oc-
cupations, especially those in which
young people are employed, in order
to formulate plans for improving the
opportunities for training and prepa-
ration for the vocations. The survey
was begun the first of last May and
VIII be finished by the middle of this
month.
A synopsis of the findings will be
printed in tentative form and report
ed to the society at the December
convention for study and for the max
ing of recommendations No such
survey has ever been made in a COM
munity previous to a convention as
basis for it's procedure. The survey

New York, Oct. 5.-How New York,

pose its numerous population. get
their living is the subject of an i'm
portant report just issued. The re-
port shows that in 1910 S2.1 per cent
of all the males over 10 years old in
this city were employed in gainful
occupations, a decrease of 8 of per
cent from 1900. Of females over 10
years of age, 30.6 per cent were gain
fully employed in 1910, an increase
of 3.5 per cent over 1900. In 1910
about one-third less children of both
sexes between the ages of 10 and IS
were at Work. than in 1900. The great
est number of workers in one line is
that of the class called female ser
wants, numbering 113,4O9. while only
about eG 0CG male servaI.s are so
classified The next largest class is
made up of male retail dealers Ca

ing 107, ,329 as compared to 1919 fe-
males in the same line. The city
boasts of 1900 actors, of which 1000
are males. although it is doubtful
whether at the present time all of
these could be enumerated as gain
fully employed. Music and its study
would seem to be popular, since there
are no less than 5000 male and eo00
female musicians ana teachers of

convicts form Brotherhood

SUldll.
Convicts Form Brotherhood
Patterning perhaps after the old
adage concerning setting a thief to
catch thief, the convicts at Sing
Sing have organized novel society
known as the Golden Rule Brother
hood, one of the purposes of which
will be to aid in the recapture of es-
capped convicts. The organization was
Established by Warden Mccormack
and thrown open to all who cared to
join. AS a matter of fact almost all
of the 1,5GO convicts at Sing Sing
have joined. Those members who
subscribe to the rules of the society
are allowed to enjoy their Saturday
and Sunday afternoons in the big
prison yard playing baseball or doing
almost anything else that is respect
able so long as they do not attempt
to escape. After joinin the convicts
went so far as to appoint their own
monitors to see that no one was care
less enough to wander away, and
raised fund of $175 which was given
to the warden to be used in the re-
capture of convicts who should escape,
the spokesman of the brotherhood ex-
planning that its members were op-
posed to attempts at escape and
hoped that those who made them
would be recaptured. Altogether the
new organization marks one of the
most novel steps in the history of
convict handling in this state.

Success Of Dairytno.
The farmers about New Salem
have made a success Of dairying and
have in this way made this one OF
the most prosperous communities in
the state. These. farmers started in
the grain farming business, and
about all that prospered was the
mortgage. They then turned to the
COW and she gave returns that paid
off the mortgages, built good houses
and barns and enabled these farmers
to live in comfort. Instead OF Dor
rowing money, they now have money
out on loans bringing in interest,
