went down. A young man of enor-

what spectacularly, the fact that he
perished was of unusual interest in
itself. The first fragmentary details
as to his fate left much to conjecture,
although it was evident that he faced
the inevitable like a gentleman. But
he did more than that. The story is
related by Mrs. Lines, Canadian,
and printed in a London cablegram
to the Philadelphia Press. She says:
People will not talk of Wander
bilt in the future as millionaire
sportsman and man-of-pleasure. He
will be remembered as the children
hero, and men and women will sa-
lutte his name. When death was
nearing him he showed gallantry
which no words of mine can ade-
quately describe. He stood outside
the palm saloon on the starboard
side with Ronald Denver (his valet)
by his side. He looked around on
the scene of horror and despair with
pitying eyes. Find all the kiddles
you can. boy" he said to the valet.
The man rushed off Immediately,
collecting children, and as he brought
them to Vanderbilt the millionaire
dashed to the boats with two little
ones in his arms at time. When
he could no longer find any more
children he went to assistance of the
women and placed as many as. he
could in safety. In all his work he
was gallantly assisted by Denver and
the two continued their efforts un-
til the very end

DOES MANS WORK.
Manages Thirteen Acre Ranch" and
Bosses Men Readily.

Los Angeles. June 1.-While wear
ing a mans clothing and doing a
mans work on her thirteen-acre
ranch" at Manhattan Beach, Mrs.
Clara A. Auchmoody, 80 years old,
has issued a challenge to any man in
the world to excel her at what once
was considered exclusively the labor
of men.
Men have no monopoly on being
farmers, declares Mrs. Auchmoody'
"'Male and female created He them.
| quote from the Bible without sacrl-
lege.
Il believe that any person who
wears a mans clothes ought to be
able to do a mans work. | wear
mans clothes while | am working on

too. Id like to see the man who can
excel me.
Il have IS acres, good house, a
barn, a cowshed, other outbulldlnss,
two horses, a COW, calf. $50 chick
ems and-a hired man.
That last was kind of rub, in
the beginning. The men thought
they knew more about farming than
I did. Maybe they did-then. But
they don't-now. A man who works
for me must do what | tell him to do.
If he has a suggestion to make l am
glad to listen, if it is good | may
adopt it. If l don't like it he does
things my way"
Mrs. Auchmoody stopped her work
of spading about one lemon tree to
begin treating another which was af-
ficted with fungus growth. She
looked over her ranch. surrounded
by windbreak of cypress trees
which she planted herself and dot
ted with citrus and deciduous trees
of various kinds. with many rows Of
different vegetables between, and
satisfaction was expressed upon her
face.
This means happiness and health
to me- she said. Before | came
here | was subjected to one surgical
operation after another. Now l have
perfect health and no mental trou-
bles. No person who has a good,

pairing to plant potatoes so that l
shall have them on the market early
in the spring. New potatoes bring
me in considerable money. We are
also planting winter peppers, spray
ing trees and building fences out OF
eucalyptus.
Intensive farming is the plan l
favor and follow. And no small
farmer should try to get along with
out a COW and chickens. They pro-
vide a fertilizer which otherwise

YOUTHS. EDUCATION is
HIS FOUNDATION,
By A. 7. Merrill, Wheeling. Ill.

by "A. l.. NteIIIl, VISSihhS' Ah'
The public schools should be
brought up to the highest possible
efficiency and everything should be
done to allow boys and girls to re-
ceive a good education without hard
ship to themselves and their parents.
The farmer does not try to econom-
ize in the attention and care that he
gives the crop while it is growing,
for he knows that he will harvest ac-
cordingly. The children of this coun-
try are the crop of the nation. The
harvest will be the future generation,
and any economy that is practiced on
the growing crop is false economy
from which the harvest will suffer.
The majority of children can at
tend school for only about ven or
eight years of their lives. During
this time they must get the founda-
ton and a large amount of the mat
erial with which they r to go
through life. How careful is the con-
tractor who erects a skyscraper
that his foundation shall be solid and
true! The boys education is his
foundation w%hereupon to build his
character and manhood. lnstill In
the boy self-respect, teach him to do
things whereby he will also gain con-
idence in himself, teach him to occu-
py his mind by thinking useful and
uplifting thoughts of his own, and
when evil influences are brought to
play upon him his moral muscles will
be developed and strong to resist the
attacks.
Upon the school depends also our
standing as a nation and the peoples
patriotism. The bearing that school
ing has upon the progress of a coun-
try is illustrated by the fact that the
United States and Germany have on
an average one inhabitant out of
every five in their schools, while a
country like Russia has only n In
every thirty-three in school.
In the schools is also about the on
ly place in which the people in this
country can be taught "America
first" and that this country is not a
mixture of different countries, but
that it is truly American. Whether
the illiterate should be excluded from
this country may be debated, but the
children that come here and those
who are born here must be educated
and taught to be good American cit
liens, who are proud of their coun-
try.
Children must be taught to be
Americans first and should be taught
the American language before any
other. The American flag should be
found displayed in all the schools and
it's significant meaning of justice,
righteousness and liberty should be
taught impreSSively.

COOPERATION IN ENCOU-
RAGING SONG BIRDS
By Allan Stephens, Columbus, Ohio.

By Allan Stephens, Columbus, Ohio,
I am glad to see that so many per-
sons are cooperating in encouraging
song birds come back and remain
with us again. l have recently seen
numbers of robins, meadow larks,
black-birds, t~hrushes, bluejays and
other birds.
Here is a suggestion: Kill all Eng
lish sparrows, for they eat the eggs
of song birds and tear up their nests.
These sparrows eat nothing but the
farmers grain, while song birds earn
their keep by the insects they des-
troy as we'll as the songs they sing
for us.
While robins eat a few cherries,
they more than earn their bread
with the good they do elsewhere. If
a cherry orchard is surrounded with a
row of mulberry trees the robins will
hardly touch the cherries.
Blackbirds are not such nuisances
in the garden or. in the orchard as
people imagine.
Small boys should be encouraged to
leave the birds alone. Hunters
should spare song birds.
Cats are great enemies of birds,
but I believe they can be taught to
leave them alone.

TEMPTATION SHOWS WORTH
OF PERSON.
Wilson Avenue Peoples Church,
Chicago.

1t is impossible for US. to under
stand the moral development of a
man without some knowledge of the
temptations that have crossed his
path. In Analysing those factors
which have entered into the moral
success of a mar we find that the
the leading role in his drama of life
The highest example that we have
of the moral life is found in the
character of Jesus. His biographers
have portrayed the character and
scope of his temptations. There was
nothing startling Or unique in the
temptations of Jesus. They came at
a time in his life when they were
most severe and at a time when he
was the weakest. They were real
tests of his power. They revealed
his humanity. Without temptation
in his own life he could have had no
sympathetic attitude for humankind.
The man whose life is spent in ease
and refinement can never appreciate
the position of the man who is hav-
ing a terrific struggle.
The mar whose heart has never
been torn by a great grief can never
understand the value or depth of his
own happiness.
The mar whose whole moral ma
ture has not been swept by some
mighty surge of a great temptation
can never feel the moral security of
one who fought and won.
Great and terrific temptations are
necessary to strong and powerful
lives.

Leather goods made from alligator

VITAL IMPORTANCE OF
WEIGHT STANDARDS
By Chas. Quinn, City Sealer, Buffalo
N. Y.


The question of weights and meas
ures and the problems which the peo-
pie of the United States have to con-
tend with without their knowledge or
perhaps their appreciation is one
which is of vital Importance. l be-
lieve congress should jump into the
breach and do the needful in legislat-
ing a uniform weight for every
known carrier or measure universal
ly used. For instance, a bushel of
onions in some states is accredited
as weighing about SO pounds, while
in other states the weight is classified
as about SO pounds. The hardship
consists in the fact that farmers may
ship commodities to one state from
another, and where they ship hum
dreds of bushels of vegetables at a
stated weight the consignee has but
to pay for the weight estimated by
the state in which he resides.
A carload of onions may weigh ac-
curately so much in one state, but
when the consignee of another state
has to pay for it the weight of the
bushel in that jurisdiction may be
more or less, as the case may be.
Every known measure should have
a uniform weight all wei the United
States, and a barrel of potatoes
should be judged as to have a much
weight in New York as in California.
But this condition does not exist.
Then, again, all grain hoppers
should be tested at stated intervals.
Buffalo's port has shipments of grain
amounting to 300,000,000 bushels an
nually, and the weights often vary
to an alarming extent because the
hopper in Minnesota Or elsewhere is
out of kilter. Who pays the differ
ence? Why, the poor consumer, of
course.
This is a situation that cannot be
too forcibly impressed upon congress
to afford a remedy.
