From the biography Of a failure:
BY careful attention to his own BUSH
ness he gained a competency and
stood high in the esteem Of mis- fell
low citizens. Persuaded by his
friends he made the race for congress
sional honors. but was defeated. He
next yielded to the earnest solicitation
of his friends and ran for the legisla-
ture. but did not win. Afterwards he
was at intervals urged by his many
friends to become in rotation candi-
date for sheriff. constable, town mas
shall. night watch and dogpelter. and
was each time knitted at the polls By
nends In human form. Somewhere
along the line he became liar, dead
beat, petty swindler and common
drunkard. and one morning last week
he was found dead ont behind the Nv.
cry stable.--Kansas City Star.

English Founder Of Turkish Navy.

the Turkish navy OF the past owed
almost its existence to an English
sailor, Hobart Pasha, bold buc-
cancer. who was born into the Vic.
torian age. He retired from the Eng
lish navy in 1868. and during the
American war ne became blockade
runner with bair- breadth escapes in
Vulnerable. After the war ne entered
the Turkish service, suppressed the
Cretan rebellion by intercepting the
supplies from Greece and then reor-
gained the Turkish fleet so well that
the sultan appointed him marshal OF
the empire. Hobart Pasna also en-
joyed the unique distinction OF being
twice struck on the British navy list
for preach of the foreign enlistment
act ana twice reinstated there. And
he died in 1886 with the rank OF q
British vice-admirai.

UNCLE SAM WANTS COOKS.

Uncle Sam, rich and powerful,
good to his ''help," and the surest
pay in the world, can't keep his
cooks any longer or better than the
ordinary Jersey commuter. He of
fers them good pay, easy hours, and
lots of nights out" but they simply
will not overlook the fact that they
are cooks, bred and born, and so
keep moving on. United States Ma
rine corps statistics covering the last
two years show a greater percentage
of men deserted who gave occupation
prior to entry as cooks" than any
other class that enlisted during the
period. Desertions from the marine
corps are very light at all times; the
average marine considers that the
service offers better advantages than
anything he could find in civil life,
and he believes the opportunities for
travel and adventure to be unex-
celled, and, were it not for the cooks,
marine corps officials believe that the
"oldest branch of the service" would
have an almost clean slate with re-
gard to desertions. No class of men
look so lightly on the oath of obliga-
ton as these selfsame knights of
the frying PAN" marine corps re-
oruiters declare.

Fishing With Fishline -Four Miles
Long

In the March American Magazine
Cleveland Moffet writes a highly en-
PERTAINING article in his Doing the I'M
possible series entitled, Living Won
ders' of the Deep Sea. He describes
important discoveries reported by
oceanographers fishing three or four
miles down in the sea. The boat that
has been used for this purpose by sci
entists for 80 years is the d" Albatross. -
Following is an extract from Mr.. Moi
felt s article:
1.-The Albatross fishes with a line
three miles long: often four miles long.
sometimes six miles long or over, a
line of slender cable. but wonderfully
strong, rolled off q deck winch bv a

scores of other extraordinary things.
"The 'Albatross follows no beaten

drops her great nets by day and by
night, takes hundreds of soundings il
uncharted waters and, after a cruise
of months, brings home her trophies
for final safe keeping in jars filled with
alcohol and labeled with Greek and
Latin names. This sort of work sh,
has been doing for 30 odd years, evel
since George w. Baird designed he
