Judsonia weekly advance., 1915-12-08
By EDWARD B. CLARK.

always ready to QO service Tn behalf of humanity, and particularly in behalf of the good Democratic ship, Baltimore Platform which was trying to make harbor laden with precious cargo of party legislation.
 Most of the coast guardsmen were gathered in the lighthouse, circling about their returned leader and friend. big Bill Bryan. who had come back once more to his work as keeper The door of the lighthouse was thrown open and in breezed tall, lanky coast guardsman wrapped in a pea jacket. When the newly blown in" brought his face out gradually from the folds of huge muf1er, the coast guardsmen cried in welcoming unison Why it's Bill McAdoo!"
 Later guardsmap said to another, How did Bill McAdoo get there; did he in on the lifeboat?" The answer was, No. Bill got there through the tunnel"
 So it is that when men speak of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and his career, which has landed him in the second cabinet office of govern ment they apt to say that Bill got there through the tunnel"
 Does not everybody know what is meant by Bill getting there' through the tunnel? If any one be so unknowng let it be said at once that 1t was William Gibbs McAdoo, the secretary of the treasury. who undertook the gigantic work of constructing tunnels under the Hudson river, through which railroads were run to connect the terminals and cities of the Jersey side with the business and shopping districts of Manhattan. This tunnel project of MT. McAdoo was at first said to be dream. It had been suggested and some attempts had been made to put it in form and substance before the present secretary of the treasury looked the scheme said it was good and that it could be put through. He put it through and the work was such success that men now say that MT. McAdoo got there through the tunnel"
 He's Often Criticized.
 It probably is not entirely fair to Uncle Sam's secretary of the treasury to say that the tunnel was responsible for his success MT. McAdoo's friends would rather have it put that MT. McAdoo was responsible for the tunnels success and that the same energy and other things which enter into an able mans makeup were responsible for his "getting there" with the tunnel and with the other things which he has undertaken. and also responsible for his getting there when their thoughts dwell on the presidents cabinet
 Perhaps no in MT. Wilson's cabinet has been the target for many shafts of criticism and so many bouquets of praise this lankf gen. tlsman with the Roman nose who looks aftsr the interests of Uncle Sams strongbox. Men who do not believe in his financial theories and some of his legislative endeavors say that ba r'~s-r to build tunnel. but that he has

Jess Willard will be the biggest man
Jack Johnson ever met. That is, on
the point of heft. In regards to clev-
emess, Jess is several notches below
some of the past opponents of the big
smoke.
Willard plans to enter the ring
weighing 233 pounds, while Johnson
intends to scale down to 220 if pos
sible. At present he waivers the
beam at 225.
Apparently this Johnson-WiI
scrap is the beginning of a pugilistic
era in Cuba. The island is sport low
ing and tolerant of all forms of ath-
letic endeaVoT. The natives, however,
need to be educated to appreciate bat
thing with fists, knives having played
an important part in their personal
encounters for generations.
Appetizers in the form of bouts be-
tween ordinary fighters are being
provided this week, and the Cubans
are catching on to the finer parts of
the game. The advance seat sale for
the heavyweight fight assures a big
house, many women having signified
their intention of attending. Fear
of racial troubles in case a black tri-
jumps over a white have passed, the
Cubans having come to realize that
both are prizefighters and that talk
of winning back the title for the
honor of the white race" is mostly
bunk.
When fighters and promoters put
on a fight their main eye is toward |
the coin that will accrue, and not to |
any attendant honors to the white, |
red or black races.

If confidence goes very far, and the
testimony of all baseball pilots is that
it does, Joe Benz will be a valuable
prop to the White Sox pitching staff
again this season. The star spitball-
er was to have been left on the coast
to recuperate from a winters illness.
When the first squad reached Los An
geles on the trek hOmeward Joe had
something to say about the arrange
ment.
He refused to stay behind and in
sisted on accompanying the regulars.
He told Manager Rowland he was
strong enough to do his usual job of
work, and had proved it by some re-
cent stunts with the yannigans. Joe
offered to bet that by the time the
team reaches the major league belt
he will be ready to go against the big
fellows, and intimated he might ask
for the assignment of pitching
against the St. Louis Browns in the
first tilt of the American league cam
paign.
He will hardly get his wish, but he
is showing a powerful lot of spirit
and deserves great credit. Benz in
the past has worked to overcome the
obstacles that beset his path and tri-
umphed because Of his courage.

pare himself. The result shows in

Tom and l changed our clothes in
the lamp cabin. and l am sure we both

as the smoky" shaft.
The thousand feet descent occupied
about four minutes. but to me it ap-
peared hours. and l felt considera bly,
relieved when the cage dropped with
bump on the cross buntings.
Our first visit was to the stable.
where about eighty Shetlands and moor
bred ponies were stalled, busily engaged
in munching their corn. At the head Of
each stall was board. on which was
painted the horses name. and l came

Il never saw such feat of sailing
in my life" exclaimed Mr.. Younger
to the old man who stood smiling at his
side.
That is my hoy. John. there. Mr.
Younger said the old man proudly. Il
knew he would fetch her in all right
He has been through worse weather than

Il want to talk to that boy of yours. -
Mr. Younger said enthusiastically to the
| old man.
In : few minutes the boat had come
up the little stream and the fisher
men had either gone back to their work
or had crowded around eager to question
the man and boy who had just come
through such danger
You are the best seaman ! ever
saw" said Mr. Younger. laying his hand
on the hoys shoulder. not waiting for
his father to introduce him. Il want to

er and you.
That night the rich shipowner went to
the little cottage by the sea and sat
down in the little living room and by the
dim light OF a single candle told his
proposition to Johns father.
That boy of yours is a born sailor,
ne said.
You don't mean You would he willing
to take him as a sailor for the ship
that is going out to America" asked the
father eagerly. You didn't think he would
do. did you?'
why nv good man.. said Mr.. Young
err ne is too good for that. | want to
take him on as masters apprentice on
the finest boat I own. 1t is just hitting
out to sail for Virginia and the West
Indles.'
The old mans eyes filled with tears
Of mingled gratitude and sorrow at the
sudden realization that this would mean
that the boy would have to go on and
leave him.
To think that John would have to
leave US" he said. laying his hand on
the boys shoulder. but in another
breath he added proudly: But l am
proud to think you want him. If he is
willing himself, | shall not stand in the
way of him.
The boys eyes were brimful of JOY and
excitement He had cherished in his
heart AZ all boys do. the dream that
some day he could go off and see the
great round world and do something
that would make his father and mother
proud of him. Perhaps. he thought
to himself. perhaps he might some day
rise to be captain of a boat.
Before Mr.. Younger went that night II
was agred that John should go with him,
and John was the happlest boy ana
Johns father was the happiest man that
night in all Scotland. And who do you
think this poor sailor boy turned out to
be? A man a whose name every Amer

you guess?
Why. John Paul Jones. the founder of
our navy. and one of the greatest sailors
that ever lived.

Leaving the stables. we made our way
into the mine. where the night shift men
, were at work The miners were busily
engaged in blasting operations. and the
loud reports that necessarily reverber-
ated through the workings were enough
TO make the hair of any ordinary boy
stand on end.
Just after midnight. when we were
about three miles or so from the shaft
mouth. Young observed: There's some
thing wrong. lads-I'm vera much afraid
the pit has fired: can you no smell il?
For some few minutes / had expert
enced a peculiar smell. and noticed that
the light of the Davy lamp which car
ried seemed misty.
We made tracks for the shaft bottom.
But the sense of burning became more
intense. and we began to cough. There
was no doubt about the smoke now.
and. to add to our discontinue. our
lamps. with one exception: had gone out.
The atmosphere was sitting and hot
and a miner named Hardy. man of
superior education. guessed the truth.
The pithead is on fire" exclaimed
Hardy land. if the pulleys go. we are
all dead men,"
The air was scorching hot. and the
dense smoke filled our lungs until every
one OF us coughed violently.
Hardy again spoke. Let each man
get car. and push it; keep your faces
well down. and you'll cause current
of fresh air"

out. Stand clear. men. here she comes
He had scarcely finished speaking when
the debris of A cage followed by big
timbers crashed into the mine. smashing
the stout oak buntings that ran across
il as if they had been so much match
wood.
The water began to rise above our feet
until il reached our waists. and every
one gave himself up for lost, The mas
sive iron segments lined with brickwork
forming the shell of the shaft had given
way. and thousands of tons of water
from disused workings were now flooding
the mine
About in the morning a welcome
voice was heard in the shaft. There was
no rnistaking the bluff tones of Bob An
derson. one of the STATESMEN.
Are you all right, lads?" was his
query.
Not a man was missing. and then Bob
explained what had occurred at the top
of the pithead.
A fire had broken out in the lamp
cabin, and everything above was a mass
of burning wreckage. Bob had come
down in a ''loup"-that is kind OF
swing. Luckily. the pulley legs still
held. although half burned through.
The lads first" said Bob. and Tom
Andrews and took a seat in the ''loup''
below Bob. The signalling wire luckily
was intact. and Bob gave the signal for
our ascent.
An hour after the last man had been
brought to earth the pully legs gave way,
and the massive wheels fell crashing
into the shaft.
