ADMIRAL JELLlC0E
 NOT WIDELY KNOWN

s E l f London, Feb. 25-No popular sail or is so little known personally to the British people as Admiral JeI1icoe. Yet the admiral has an adventurous record and has three times in his ca reer recovered from wounds that were at first believed to be fatal.
 JeIlicoe comes of a family Of French extraction, and his father was a. sailor As a nidshipman, he ex- ceIled his fellows in his studies and attention to duty and won nearly all the prizes offered on his training ship. He took part in the lombard nent of Alexandria, fought at Tel el-Kebfr, and had a marrow escape from drowning when the Victoria. sank He also fought during the Boxer rebellion in China. As an ad- ninistrator his career was no less distinguished, for he served as Di- rector of Naval Ordnance and as Con troIler of the Navy.
 A writer describes him as a slen- der man below average height with calm gray eyes and an air of perfect confidence. At the same time there is a lurking sense of hunnor in the lines about the eyes and mouth. In his small, wiry figure, he resembles the late Lord Roberts.
 Admiral Je1lieoe has always been immensely popular with the enlisted men of the navy, by whom he is known variously as Jackey-Oh, He'll fire Jack and also as Silent Jack from the fact he seldom speaks un- less he wants something done.

Would Outlaw Canoes.

Burning of the canoes at Camp Tex
akwitha is a good example. The use
of these extremely frail, unstable and
therefore dangerous craft should be
everywhere restricted to expert swim
mers. Any others who go out in them
risk their lives, since the least in
cautious movement is likely to cause
an upset even when the water Is quiet.
While canoes may still be used by
those who are fitted and ready at any
moment to swim ashore. 1t would be
better II they were put out. of use al
together. There is always the dan
ger. as long as they are kept at hand,
that boys who cannot swim may seize
an opportunity to venture out in them.
They serve no purpose that is worth
while. An expert may derive some
pleasure from padding canoe about,
but to persons who want to enjoy a
ride upon the water they offer neither
security nor comfort.-Albany Journal.

PEOPLE BUYING HOMES.

Real Estate Dealer.)
Being q real estate man, am In a
position to know whether or not the
sale of whisky affects the growth Of
the business of the city. Prior to our
campaign OF 1912, the whisky inter-
ests claimed that our storerooms
would be vacant, that hundreds of our
dwelling houses would be tenantless.
and that real estate in general would
suffer great depreciation. On the con-
trary, l find that the storerooms and
dwelling houses are now all occupied,
and that there are hundreds OF appli.
cants for houses whose wants cannot
be supplied at the present time.

INDICTMENT OF BOOZE


INDICTMENT OF BOOZE.
CBy JUDGE GEMMIL, OF the Municipal
Court of Chicago)
have observed that every bandit

from a saloon that every panderer
has his rendezvous I'm a grogshop;
that every den of thieves makes It's
victims drunk before II robs them:
that every house of prostitution has
its bar or is. in partnership with
booze; that every gambling den either
is in a saloon or sustains a close re-
lationship with one; that the pick.
pocket trust" is housed in saloon !;
that the ''pay-off joint" for the crook
and the crooked policeman is In a
saloon; that the professional bonds
men and character witnesses for
thieves and holdup men are saloon
keepers or bartenders.
Booze has caused 100000 divorces
in the United States in the last twen-
ty years, and adds $4,000 more to this
number every year. It divides more
homes, fills more jails and empties
more churchea than all other infiu.

Judges, legislators, mayors, gov.
ernors and even presidents sit dumb
or quail in the presence of this mon.
ster, which enters millions of homes
