So when every ono of the Emden's crew was intent on tho pursuer they took the body out of the burial bag, and Jack got into 1t with pieces of cork tied under his shoulders, some provisions in a rubber bag, a bottle of water, knife and q piece of white cotton cloth attached to a stick for signal purposes.
 It was decided to ask the captain of the Emden for permission to bury their dead companion. He was too busy at the time to give any thought to their request and granted 1t with nod of the head. Then the sailors car rled Jack to the side of the ship and, standing about him uncovered, slid him overheard.
 Jack did not mind being discovered in the water by the Germans, for he knew they would not think of stopping to pick him up. He was not below the surface more thnu twenty seconds, but when he renppearcd the cruiser was going so fast that sue was already quite a distance from him The gaze of most of them was in hIs direction, but was fixed on the pursuing ship. One man caught sight of him. but Jack simply 1Oated on the surface and was probably supposed to be the corpse that had been given burial. At any rate, no especial attention was paid to him, and he was being rapidly left astern.
 Jacks main fcar was that the Brit lsher, being in Il hurry, would fail to pick hIm up even If he succeeded in attracting her attention. He was d. rpctly in her line and with his white flag would likely succeed In making himself seen. She was nearly half an hour behind the Emden and losing. When few hundred yards from him hc waved his flag. He knew that he was seen. for he saw several persons pointing at him and evidently discuss ing him.
 But Jack was mortified to see the ship proceed on her way without stop ping for him. She had gone nearly mile beyond him when q gladdening sight met his view. There was a boat being lowered There were men in it, and when in the water and loOsened from the ship they pulled toward him.
 Jack wus picked up, and the ship waited for the return of her boat. Her commander was conscious of losing on the Emden and had decided to save the man in the water When Jack was taken aboard be was piled with Ques- tions as to the German cruiser, but could only say that she was the Elm den and had aboard the crews Of sev- eral vessels she had sunk.
 Jack was put ashore at a South American port and determined that when he committed himself again to the deep he would go under the Amer ican flag. After waiting some time be found a berth on a United States yes sel and in due time turned up on his native shore. He says he Is quite con- tent with hls experience as a sailor on the ocean in wartime and has no de- sire for any more of it.

THE "PooR MANS COURT

HE EOOE MAN = OOON - -
When he had justice courts in this
city the trust press waged a steady
warfare on what they called Justice
shops" This warfare was famed
into a blaze Of popular demand for
their abolition, and so the municipal
court act, a cumbersome, unjust and
autocratiC statute, was written into
law, and the trust press christened
the new reform CD prodigy 1.-THE
poor mans Cd court" Is it the poor
mans court? UnquestiOnably no!
Let us Illustrate: When we had JUS
tice courts a boy arrested for tri-
fling misdemeanor could be bailed out
by any householder signing his bond.
Under the poor mans court statute
this same boy if arrested would have
to furnish real estate surety or cash
bond of S25 or remain locked up in
cell with hardened Old-time offenders.
Where is the improvement in justice?
Under the justice courts one of the
scandals that caused the greatest de-
nunciation was the fact that the con-
stables in ''fOrcibIe entry suits could
serve q summons on any one IN the
house over II years Of age. The in
iustice of this rule and the outrageous
evils that followed awakened the in
dignatiOn of the general public. When
the great reform CD, the poor mans
court, came into being, this same
scandal continued. Finally the SUI
preme court declared that in all for
chile entry suits the defendant alone
must be served with the summons.
The real estate trust, which found
pleasure in the old scandal, expert
enced a hardship in Obeying the man
dates of the supreme court, so it had
the general assembly, at the last ses-
sion, enact a statute in conflict with
the mandate of that court making
service of summons in fOrcible entry
cases on any member of the family
over II years, thereby Overturning

civil suit did not exceed "a and the
same was disposed of in Is days. In
the same courts where a fine was i'm
posed the costs rarely exceeded 81 or
SO, at the most. In the poor mans
court. the costs in similar cases range
from IS upward.
In the Justice courts judgment
could be appealed directly to the cir
cult. county or superior courts at
small cost. In the poor mans court
the appeal goes directly to the appel
late court, rendering appeals from
the court impossible for the poor
man. who cannot afford the great ex-
pense of court costs, printing briefs
and all the other heavy expenses that
follow.
Am 1 justified in asking your read
ers which court was the poor mans
court? The Justice court, with
small expense, speedy trial, chance
of appeal, no heavy costs, no real es-
tate surety to keep out of Jail on
clothes line cases, and a square deal
for the poor man. Or the great re-
form CD court, which denies an ap-
peal to the poor man, demands eX-
cessive real estate bonds in petty
misdemeanOrs, a wait of year and
inward in a simple contested assump-
sit suit and a gross violation of the
landlord and tenant statute, which
demands a five-day notice to the ten
ant before suit for possession can be
commenced, and which forbids the
real estate agent to confess judgment
without notice to the tenant, some
thing the most constituencies justice
would not permit. Any one who reads
this article must, if he has any sense
of Justice, decide in favor of a return
to the much-abused justice courts,
which were far ahead of the present
expensive and unjust municipal
courts, which up to date nave proven
to be expensive failures.-H. K. D.

ABOUT lNBREEDlNG

1t makes a difference in inbreed-
ing whether one is handling pure
bred or grade stock. By inbreed-
ing we mean the breeding together
of animals containing more than 25
per cent of common blood.
| would advise you to use animals
for inbreeding that are as nearly
perfect as possible, suggests DR.. r
H. Williams, Animal Husbandman,
u. of A. Agricultural Experiment
Station. Theoretically, if you have
perfect animals, the only logical
thing to do is to inbreed, because it
is simply impossible to secure evil
results from incestwith such animals.
Perfect animals are a rarity.
Ordinarily it is wise to inbreed the
offspring on the sire where the sire
is good registered animal and the
dam an ordinary scrub. Care should
be exercised, however, not to follow
this more than once, as inbreeding
is two-edged sword which must be
handled with the greatest care. The
sire may be bred to a second genera
ton of his get with good results,
but this is not recommended. 1t
would not be as much inbreeding to
use a sire on his granddaughter or
brother and sister as to use sire
on his daughter, but breeders have
used both methods with good and
evil results.
Hogs will stand inbreeding less
than any other kind of farm animal,
and on this account must be watched
closely.
