ers 0fthe Cameroons River
In West Africa.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-(3:05 a. m.)-The
adr. r.iralty announces that the British
cruiser Cumberland has captured off
the Cameroons river in West Africa
the Hamburg American liner Arnfried
and the following merchant steamers:
The Max Brock, Kenapa, Amsinck,
Paul Woermann, Erna Woermann,
Henrietta Woermann, Aline Woer-
mann, Hans Woermann, and the Jan
nette Woermann. All were in good
order and most Of them contained gen
eral cargoes and considerable quanti-
ties of coal. The European crews
have been removed as prisoners, but
the native engineroom hands have
been retained.
The gunboat Soden has also been
captured and has been placed in COM
mission, while it is expected that the
floating dock and the Herzogin Eliza
beth which have been sunk can be
raised.
The Cameroons is German colony
of Western Equatorial Africa. 1t has
heretofore been announced that be-
cause of the deadly climate of the
place, the British would not disturb
the colony. The announcement of the
admiralty, however, indicates that the
British naval forces have visited the
place and captured the German ship
ping vessels assembled there.

Grafton by not only the Armenian
Christians, but by the Turks, who
believe IN the Old Testament chron-
icles as firmly as the Jews. Up to a
century or so ago, there was a tra-
dition firmly believed BY most of the
Christian world that Noah's ark,
miraculously preserved, was still TO
be seen on top of the mountain, and
any man who secured splinter
from it would be immune from the
power of the evil one. The tradition
was fortified by the fact that Ararat
is such a high mountain that com
paratively few people have ever
reached the crest of it, difficulty of
the climb and the terrors of the
wind-storms that almost constantly
sweep it being added to by legends
firmly believed in by all the people
of the country round about that a
legion of devils dwelt on top of the
mountain and vigorously opposed all
swho tried to reach the ark.

HOW TO REMOVE A
SERIOUS HANDICAP


Times-Union Short Talks: The
Ocala Star says that the principal OF
the high school in that city has wisely
ordered that the course in domestic
science be elective and not compul-
sorry. The editor of the Star says
that while this course may be and
probably is, more beneficial than Lat
in it entails an expense upon the pa
rents, and this is not always practie-
able. 1T is possible, also, adds the
Star, that the pupils whose parents
are able to stand the extra expense
best need the instruction the most. 3
The point is well made, for in the
homes of the well-to-do it very often
happens that the children are not ex-
pected or even allowed to gain a
knowledge of domestic duties that
will certainly Become necessary in la
ter life. The girl who has never
been in the kitchen, because her folks
are rich and the servants do not like
to have children bothering about, per-
haps, is seriously handicapped when
she starts in her own home, not nee
essarily to cook, but to have charge
over others and be responsible for
the way in which the income Is
handled.

Step CASTING
CHECKS FOR STRANGERS

When will people stop cashing
checks for people whom they do not
know and never saw or heard'of be-
fore. An Oeala business man cash
ed a check few days ago for rank
stranger, whose bill with him was
probably a couple OF dollars and is
now stuck for more than seventy ST
moleons. with about as much chance
to collect the money. or even Jail the
swindler as he has of straddling the
moon. He says never again for
him, but will he stick to it. This
practice has cost the business men OF
Ocala in the past many thousands of
dollars.
