 The elder of the two young men, Cohngraft Titus, who being in the business with his father in New York was permitted to travel most of the time so that he couldn't interfere with t, was taller than I, and an extremely handsome chap to boot. He was twen- ty-six. The younger, Jasper junior, was nineteen, short and slight of build, with the merriest eyes I've ever seen. I didn't in the least mind the grin he bestowed upon me and preserved with stanch fidelity throughout the whole interview-but resented the supercil- fous, lordly scorn of his elder brother.

 My dear girl, you must bring your good sense to bear upon this subject which might bless or distress all of your future. It is simply foolish on your part to fancy yourself in love with a little boy who has been out of baby clothes hardly a dozen years. What does he know of lifefs great, sol- emn, tender passion-love2 A young man of 21 is certainly young enough for. you, perhaps too young. as you may find out in the course of time. Do not be tickle, wed the sweetheart of 21 and be glad of the love of true, worthy heart mate.

 There was a man whose dealings were exec ptional1y great His wealth if turned into cash would measure by the hundredweight, And when he made deal the figures that he would express Would be million dollars he would seldom mention less. When thin gs went wrong and thous- ands were involved in sud den loss He wrote it in his ledger and it didn't make him cross. And yet he got so mad he kicked the table full of dents Becaus a restaurant waiter held him up for fifty cents He would simply nod his headkto close big financial deal, And when ih went against him he was never known to squeal He would gaze in "reminiscences, free from any serious shock. On the losses represented by certih- cates of stock, And yet there were occasions when his state of mind serene Was shattered in a way which with astonishment was seen.

FIGHT FOR FAIR sEAMEN's BILL
STILL ON, SAYS OLANDER

When the Seaman'S Dill came up
for hearing in the rivers and harbors
committee of the house of represen-
tatives in Washington before its pas
sage one of the. members of the COM
mittee slipped in a~few words which
made section IA of the bill an amend
ment to an existing statute. 1t was
on these few words that Atty Gen
eral Gregory declared that section
was invalid Section IA of the bill
provides for additional ifesaVing ap-
planes.
"This, however, does not mean
victory for those opposing the bill as
a reader of the papers is led to be-
ieve," Victor Olander, secretary of
the seaman's union said. "The sec
lions they are fighting are the able
seaman provision, which will compel
owners to sign men who know some
thing about the sea and the language
test which will raise the standard of
the seamen. The language test pro-
vides that the crew shall understand
the orders issued by the command
ing officers. Now a great percentage |
of the sailors are Chinese and Las
cars"
81 do not think that Chairman
Alexander of the committee knew
what was being put over when this |
clause was included" he continued. |
81 presume we have encountered an
other trick of Eugene T. Chamber
lain, U. S. commissioner of naviga-
ton, whom regard as the represen-
tative of foreign ship owners. We
have fought him from the start"
Olander laughed and picked up the
Aug. 26 copy of the Manufacturers
News of Chicago and turned to an
article written by Capt Robert Dol
lar whom he calls an American ship
owner with all of his money invest
cd in foreign ships.
This article is practically the
same as the pamphlet put out by the
