SAVE LIVES At SEA
Lighthouse Keepers Worthy of

That Are Without Equal.

Although the pay Is small and tn.

Ice attracts as rule an excellent
class of faithful men, willing to take
large risks in doing their duty and
also In helping those in distress. There
are many cases of faithful service and
bravery.
There are number of woman light
Keepers. One of these, the keeper OF
Angel Island light in San Francisco
bay, reported that after the machin-
cry of the fog signal was disabled on
July 2. 1906, she had struck the bell
by hand for 20 hours and So minutes
until the fog lifted" and that on July
4, when the machinery was further
disabled, she stood all night on the
platform outside and struck the bell

The fog was dense"
A widely known woman lightkeeper
was Ida Lewis, who died about three
years ago. She lived at Lime Rock
lighthouse, on ledge in Newport har
Dor, for 81 years, her father having
been appointed keeper when she was
twelve years cld| She was keeper OF
the light for 80 years. There are re
ports of her having rescued Is per
sons from drowning. On one occasion
1t Is said, she saved three men who
were swamped in attempting to pick
up sheep, and then she rescued the
sheep also.
Because Of the difficult life, keepers
at Isolated stations are granted shore
liberty and leave 70 days a year, and
crews of light vessels 80 days a year
The first lighthouse on this cont

1715-1716, on an island In the en-

There has long been a suspicion

where search of his clothes revealed

but they have learned that there Is no

World Learns Slowly.

Landsmen, as well as mariners who
a few centuries ago sailed round the
earth, should have observed, even with
little travelling, that objects such as
mountains, bills, towers, trees, etc.,
which had not been sooner seen, sud.
denly began to come into view, then
to grow higher and higher as they
were approached until their full height
appeared, thus duplicating the appear
ance and disappearance Of ships at
sea. Yet through ages these simple
phenomena, proving beyond doubt
the rotundity of earth, to say nothing
Of eclipses, which showed the circular
shadow of earth on the moon, taught
little or nothing to the greatest Of men,
to say nothing Of the merely shrewd
ones; and there are many people
clever in everyday affairs of life
today who still cling to the ignorance
of ancients and of years so modern as
those of the fifteenth and sixteenth cen,
turtles.

Horses Tell of Tragedies.

The body of Samuel l.. Archer, a
prominent farmer OF Plumsted IN. d.
township, was found lying dead in
the road near his home. He was seen
by his neighbors about the place
early in the morning, and about ten
o'clock he went for a drive into the
country. When his horse came back
without him search was Immediate
ly made for the missing man and his
body was found. Although there were
some bruises, it is not known wheth
er there was foul play.
There is peculiar coincidence in
the fact that his son, Nelson Archer,
was killed In almost exactly the same
way about two years ago. His horse
also came home without him.

PRAYER for the DAY.

Forgive US If this day we have done
or said anything to increase the pain
Of the world. Pardon the unkind
word, the impatient gesture, the hard
and selfish deed, the failure to show
sympathy and kindly help where we
had the opportunity, but missed It;
and enable US SO to live that we may
daily do something to lessen the tide
Of human sorrow, and add to the sum
of human happiness.-F. B. Meyer.

PAPER Covers a Protection.

Undeniably, paper covers are OF
some aid in preserving the fresh ap
pearance of books, but neither the ap
pearance nor the feeling of covered
book is agreeable. Still, for those who
have no objection to them, covers are
a good thing. Nothing is better than
ordinary brown paper, except in some
unusual cases, as, for example, the
cook book, which, as every good house
keeper knows, should be covered with
oilcloth.

Congressman Shouse Gets
Quick Results.

Thanks to the efforts of Congress
man Jouett Shouse of Kinsley,
Dodge City will have the benefit of
the help and advice of q government
landscape gardner in fixing up and
beautfying its city park.
Some months ago legacy was left
to this city upon the death of Geo.
A. Hoover, prominent banker.
About fifty thousand dollars of the
money was to be devoted to the i'm
provement of the city park. The
Mayor and Commissioners desired the
best possible help in making their
plans for these extensive improve
ments. They first enlisted the assist
ance of United States Senator for
an expert landscape gardner from the
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington. The senator tried but failed.
Then the authorities spoke to Con-
gresham Shouse about the matter
when he was In Dodge on the thirty
first day of May to deliver the Mem
orial Day address. The congressman
promised to do his best. Today he
notified city officials that he had re-
ceived letter from Secretary Hous-
ton of the Department Of Agrlcult-
ure stating that the only landscape
gardner connected with the Depart
ment, Mr.. milford, will be detailed
to come to Dodge during the month
of August, to go over the park area
and to make all possible suggestions
for Its treatment.
Dodge is feeling very chesty over
the prospect Also it feels that the
prompt and effective results achieved
by Congressman Shouse in this ms.
lance indicate that he will duplicate
at Washington the effective work he
did In the state senate at Topek. "a
