Shg ssas"'
Outside my ONCE window ledge
That skirts n narrow street.
Where shabby walls of ancient brick
And dangling clotheslines meet.
A sooty vulcan plies his sledge
on anvil at a farrier trick.
The distant roar Of urban din
Assaults the patient ears.
The chiidrens' cry. a stray dogs bark
And all the sounds one hears
At ebb and now, as waves roll In,
Until the day grows dark.
And yet that smithy's iron chant
Struck with a craftsman's art
Brings memory OF a village green
That lures the wandering heart
With a fair vision OF a haunt
Youths idleness has seen.

ORDERED HIS OWN CASkET.
Chas. Johnson, of Winyah Bay
Shoots Himself.

GEORGETOWN, Dec. 20.-Chas. john
son, keeper of the lights on the west
ern channel of Winyah Bay, commit
ted suicide Saturday night at his
home on South Island, using thir-
ty-two calibre pistol. For some
months Johnson had suffered from
tuberculosis of the throat, and had
reached the point where he was starv-
ing because of his inability to sWal-
low. He had made repeated threats
to kill himself. Saturday night his
wife, after making him as comfort
able as she could, retired to her room
and slept. Sunday morning early she
went to his room, and to her horror
found her husband dead with bullet
through his head. The dead man
still grasped the weapon with which
his death had been accomplished. d.
The bullet entered the head just
above the right ear and passed en-
tirely through, fracturing the skull,
but not passing out. Death must
have been instantaneous.
3 The coroner held an inquest yes
terday and a verdict of suicide was
rendered. Johnson left number of
notes to persons in this city and else
where. To the coroner he addressed
note asserting that an inquest was
unnecessary-that his death was by
his own hand and Intentional. To
the Inspector of lighthouses with
headquarters in Charleston, he ad-
dressed a communication notifying
him Of his passing and recommending
q man as his successor. To his ply
sician in this city he wrote, deplor-
ing the law which prevented his get.
ting sufieieney of cocaine to relieve
his suffering. He also wrote a note
to 8 local undertaken, ordering a cas-
ket. Several weeks ago johnson
came to the city and purchased a cas-
ket. He made a careful selection and
went so far as to get in the casket
and try it.

White Star Line Agrees on This Sum
in Settlement of Claims.

New York, Dec. 17.-The White
Star Line has agreed to pay 1854 900
in settlement of all claims arising
from the sinking of the Titanic on
April Is, 1912, when more than 1,500
persons were drowned, George w.
Belts, Jr., attorney for the line, an
nounced here today.
Approximately $5oo,oOo would be
distributed among American claim
ants, $4,000 to British claimants
and s114,O00 would be required for
interest and expenses in connection
with the numerous suits.
Forty-four attorneys, representing
that number of persons out of more
than sixty who have filed claims, have
signifed their willingness to accept
the settlement terms, it was said.
The proposition grew out Of the ac-
tivities of the claimants committee,
appointed last summer, which fixed
the total claims at s2,500,000. AS
about S5OO,000 would be paid direct
", each American claimant, it was ex-
planned, would receive approximately
| 20 per cent. of his claim.
The agreement, which calls for the
money to be deposited in New York
bank, is now being circulated among
those having claims and must be act
ed upon by December 80 to become
operative
