The Eleventh Hour

Do you belong to the army Of the Eleventh Hour? Do
you your engagements and transact your business with
the lash of Father Time swapping behind you?
Ii you do perhaps pride yourself belonging to the
Eleventh Hour brigade and talk knowingly of how much bet
ter you work 'under pressure"
Don't be deceived.
You perfectly that the chauffeur who his
at speed slams the brake when he
stop and who always takes the hills high gear us to
show what the engine do has little consideration for the
continued efficiency of his machine
The finest motor built is but fraction compi
Gated as the human engine.
So behooves everyone to bear mind that the and
tear of working under strain and continually driving business
on high gear cannot be continued without risk.
Fortunately employers and employees coming real
ize that certain degree of relaxation increases efficiency
But there thousands of business who drive them
selves relentlessy with indifference which they would
permit employee to display in handling the least
ly equipment
The force that proves successful as a motive
power when exhausted results in complete breakdown
reasonable degree of deberaton and the exercise of
fOrethOught you much mental and physical strain
without the least impairment of efficiency.

carrying arms and ammunition for the MAYER
lex
The Emma was next heard of at Acapulco,
Mexico, 200 miles from the Socorro islands, and
since then has been roaming about much as the
"F'lying Dutchman" of romance. Two of her
seamen deserted at Socorro islands and were
rescued by the United States naval auxiliary
Nanshan but the lips of these men have been
strangely sealed.
A little more mystery has been added by the
cruise Of the schooner Ramona which sailed
from San Diego about the same time as the
Emma. The cruiser Colorado first sighted the
Ramona at a port near the mouth of The Gulf of
Colorado The skipper of the Ramona declared
he was bound for port far south Exactly
three weeks after the Colorado spoke the Ra-
mona, she was wrecked at Tepoca bay a point
nearly $50 miles north of her claimed destina-

ton. Th cruiser Raleigh was dispatched to her
relief.
1t is whispered that, learning she was to be
intercepted by British war vessel the MAYER
lex is attempting to dispose of her cargo to
new Mexican revolutionary party who will at
tempt to set up an independent government in
lower California, that the San Diego schoonels
are engaged to land the goods, and that the Mex
lean authorities are on the qui vive and firing
on every sailing craft that looks suspicious.
We don't stand sponsor for any theories
only the facts are related. The readers fun
comes in by the wide range of speculation af-
forded.
Admiral Howard of Uncle Sans Pacific fleet
says simply:
mick Carter is being -Nicked." The
Maverick, floating arsenal, is still anchored
off the Coronado islands at last reports.
