MAKES GOOD USE OF LASSO
Barge Captain In New York River
Keeps Rope Handy for "klds Al
ways Tumbllng In"

Capt. William Brockway, in charge
of the Mary Mccarthy, a grain
barge, lying at Sixty-third street ard
the East river, believes in being pre-
pared for all emergencies, SO when
John Caciopo fell off the stringpiece
and came up gurgling and yelling
as loud as his seven-year lungs would
let him the captain merely smiled.
Every one else ran around wildly.
That's easy" commented the cap
tain. He stepped to the cabin and
took from its peg one of the numer-
GUS coils of rope hanging there. He
arranged it quickly but carefully,
whirled a big loop around his head
a few times and then dropped a nice
round circle over the sp~uttering boys
head. He gave the rope a couple OF
quick jerks, the moose frightened, and
in less than q minute from the time
the boy had gone overheard the cap
tain was pulling him out Of the
water.
Policeman Brown had summoned
Doctor Beard from Flower hospital,
but when the physician arrived about
all the boy needed was a good spank
ing. His mother looked willing and
capable for that duty.
81 always have a rope with a moose
ready in summer" said Captain
BrOckway, as they took the boy away,
"Kids are always tumbling into the
water-and I'm always pulling 'em
out."-New York Herald.

RAT-HFESTED ENGLISH CITY
Sheffield ls Moved to Seek Relief From
a Verltable Plague Of
Rodents.

Sheffield, England, is crying aloud
for help from a pest of rats. The
vail of the rat-infested city is car
ricd to the United States through an
official report on the situation made
by Mr.. Luther J. Parr, United
States deputy consul, who calls upon
American rat exterminators" to
show what they can do in the shape
Of aid. He says, according to the
New York Evening Telegram:
IAN opportunity will shortly occur
in Sheffield to demonstrate the value
Of American rat exterminatOrs. What
IS known as the killing shambles and
the fish and meat market, located
right in the center Of the city, are
to be pulled down in accordance with
the new tOvn-planning scheme Of the
city authorities.
when this does occur it is recog-
nized by the public that the home Of
millions Of rats will be destroyed
and articles and letters appearing in
the local newspapers recently urged
the corporation to do something TO
prevent the migration Of this vermin.
"The steel works and large stores
in this city are very largely infested
with rats, and l understand many at
tempts have been made to extermi-
nate them. In the works, however,
very little damage is done by rats,
and it is the rule to occasionally en-
ploy a professional rat catcher, who
catches about 100 rats a night, and
is paid FL ($4.S7) for a nights
work.
"Such a profession is nc doubt in
fuenced by the fact that there is a
ready sale to sporting men for the
rats caught, for training their dogs"

cHATTELs.

The word "chattels" is of French
origin and means goods of any kind.
Chattels were originally divided into
real and personal chattels.
Chattels real were property an
nexed to or concerning real estate,
as a lease for years for land. Per-
sOnal chattels were such things as
were movable, as animals, jewelry,
machinery, goods and property
of like kind. Chattel mortgages
were not in use as early as real es-
tate mortgages, and the reason is
that at first all property Of value
was in the land.
The first use Of personal property
as security for the payment of a debt
was by putting the property up as
a pledge, in which case the creditor
held the property and returned it to
the owner when the money was paid.

MODERN WAR is MERCIFUL
Under Existing Conditions the Wound
ed Are Given a Fair Chance
TO Recover to Health.

A general impression Is that with
powerful weapons of great precision
greater loss of life and greater pain
are caused. The view is almost GER
tainly inaccurate. The modern bull
let says the Scotsman, unless 1t is o.
the soft-nosed type, is on the whole
merciful, and either kills outright or
gives its victim fair chance of re-
coyery. It does not, as a rule, mutt
late.
The ambulance corps was practical
~ unknown 60 years ago, and not
only is aid brought more rapidly to
the wounded. but it is far more eff
fectiye than in the pre-Lister days.
Rapidly of conveyance has increased
beyond all comparison. In the pres
ent war It is true to say that in many
cases men have been lying In Brit.
ish hospital within "a hours Of re-
ceiying their wounds. II the risk of
being hit Is greater. the chances of
recovery from injury have been i'm
mensely increased.

tain whether you will have an en-

There Is a geniality about the Ma
tionalist volunteer that makes you
know that he would rather fight some
one else-Germany in this case--than
Ulster. A few stories are current
that help to show how very ripe Ire
land was for Cancellation. Not long
ago a company of Nationalist volun-
teers, passing company of Ulster
men, and being uncertain as to the
customary etiquette between deadly
enemies saluted. In a northern dis
trict there was only one field suitable
for drilling, and as the two opposition
armies wanted 1t, the owner began
bidding them against each other.
Northern canniness asserted itself.
The commanding officer of one battal-
ion approached the enemy, and they
agreed to rent the field in common.
and use 1t ON alternate days!
A third anecdote relates that while
some Ulster volunteers were drilling
a Nationalist was seen sitting on a
fence watching them. When he was

drill; but" he added. I'VE were walt
