a ViotoTs REGARD. ready to preach the
Gospel anywhere. everywhere, to all
who had the hearing ear. The secret
of his perseverance Is given us In
Verse 18: "We look not at the things
which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen"
These words mean that st. Paul had
spiritual eyesight. He indeed saw
earthly attractions, but they lost their
drawing power upon him because Of
his perception Of the things Unseen.
With the eye of faith he saw the
Heavenly Father, the glorified Lord
Jesus, the Heavenly hosts, the coming
Kingdom of glory, honor and immor
tality.
By faith he saw the great Mil
lennial Kingdom spreading out before
him, and heard the Divine invitation
10 become an heir in that Kingdom,
Joined in heirship with the Master and
Redeemer. He had accepted this In
vitation. He had enlisted under the
banner of the Master; and he realized
that everything else in the world was
Of practically no value in comparison
with these eternal things which God
had promised. His confidence was in
the Word Of God.

Assemblyman Mark Lake saw him
as he alighted from the car, accompan-
led by w. H. Holt, whom the Senator

William Gilbert to take Senator Mar

An alarm of fire awakened the town

when the Hotel Aldine, owned by E.
G. Slaughter, was discovered to be in
flames. An explosion awakened the
neighbors, among them WILDER s.
Wright, who turned in an alarm. The
fire companies were on hand in a few
minutes. The upper part of the hotel is
not tenated in the winter, but the base.
ment has several stores occupied the
year round. The fire seems to have
started in the rear of Douglass restau-
RAM and worked upward into the hotel,
damaging the building almost beyond
repair with smoke and water. 1t would
have been q serious fire II the fire COM
panies had been delayed in reaching 1t.
Mr.. Douglass removed his furnishings
from the restaurant, as did also Gar
finkel his stock of candies. The stock of
cigars and tobacco In. Spencer and
T~hompson's cigar store were also re-
moved, but the furnishings and fix
lures were damaged badly. The hotel
was insured by Agent w. HI. Bright

Days, John Bowman and
Nils Nelson Arrived
Home Last Satur-
day Night

John Bowman and Nils Nelson, the
two Holly Beach fishermen who were
picked up at sea by the six-masted
schooner Wyoming over a month ago,
arrived home last Saturday night, hav-
ing been brought from Boston by a
vessel bound for Philadelphia. The
boat in which they spent "a hours on
the open sea in almost zero weather
was also brought to Philadelphia with
them. When picked up by the Wyom-
ing the two men were solidly encased
10 ice, their hands, faces and feet be-
ing froZe J.. On board ship they were
well cared for and upon arrival at
Boston it wac necessary to spend near
ly three weeks in a hospital in order to
get back to their normal condition.

Gentlemen-As things are stand

you a few lines. The day We went
out fishing it was everything well,
had taken up our gear and going
home about ] mile off Five Fathom
buoy, the fly wheel broke and the
key of the crank shaft came loose.
Here we was, wind started blowing
heavy from N. N. w. Tried to
make the light ship but no go, hail
four mast schooner, no answer;
also a tow Of barges, no answer;
wind still increasing and freezing.
Well, we kept on rowing. L anew
we would freeze to death ii not
keeping our blood In circulation.
Night came on SO bitter cold, every
spray came over froze fast on us.
Sighted several steamers but did
not have any matches, everything
wet.
AT last morning was coming, no
vessel in sight, kept on pulling, in
the afternoon round 4 or 5 o'clock q

here is our only chance, he came
up to us and 1 told hind. Well, he
said l am bound for Boston. L told
him no matter if he was bound to
China. He took us on board and
we received good hospitality, but
first day L was not able to eat any,
thing but soup and soft stuff, and
good land, how sore we felt. We
were eleven days on board, laid at
anchor 8 days. N. e. gale and snow,
and at last reached Boston.
AS soon as things are fit and L
can get on board some Philadelphia
barges then l am off again. Our
fingers are still a little numb and

all right. Now I want to ask some
of you members TO see about my
family and see If they are all right.

Telephone Troubles.
indianapolis News.)

| When one of the great telephone
corporations proposed that a time limit
be placed on personal conversations, or
that the use of a telephone station be
confined to business, some indignant
comment was elected from the public.
The telephone, as we know it in this
country, is, of course, primarily an ad..
Junct of business; but its social char
acteristics are of scarcely less i'm
portance. Perhaps the most irritating
problem that the traffic department Of
a telephone corporation has to deal
with concerns the misuse of residence
phones. The party line, having on it
two or more families, is the cause of
the trouble. 1t is indispensable, for it
enables the telephone company to give
its patrons a cheaper service. The ef-
! ficiency of such service, however, de-
ponds on the manner in which the
people on each line conduct them
selves.
The other day, VIXEN a complaint
against the misuse of a party line was
made, the clerk sighed and explained:
I'VE have" said he, IAN average of six
similar complaints every day. One
family or the other always spends too
much time going up end down the line
discussing family joys and sorrows
and those of other families as well. If
We changed each party arrangement
we should be forever taking down
phones and putting them up again.
That costs money. The trouble has
been considered by the management
and it advises the complaint depart
ment to endeavor to persuade one
family or the other to take a single
line" This. of course, involves a
greater expenditure, and sometimes
causes neighborhood dissension, from
| which, be it said to their credit, the
compliments generally shrink, so
they go their way and the mex time
! they want the use of the line they jig
gle the receiving hook up and down.
The telephone is rented at fiat rate,
and one can not blame the patrons for
using it as much as they please, and
this. too, in the face of the admission
that gossip is an evil time-killer. The
| instrument Is wonderful servant, and
sometimes an ungracious pest. 1t will,
on occasion, gain admittance to the
| hearing of those with whom personal
interviews would have been impossible.
And, likewise, it will act as a wedge
in the hands of those who, in the ordl-
nary course of events, would meet
with scant courtesy at home or office.
The telephone bell rings. Number
| so-andso?" Yes. Mrs. ~!
Yes" This is the Y. z. Company,
and we are Offering this week an un-
usually attractive lire" The gamut
from beer to books hes been run. The
only way to dismiss these intruders is
to hang up. But even so the waste
OF time and irritation are consider
able. Telephone peooling is an I'M
position.

Bio Guns on Warships

A recent article by James Douglas,
in the London Daily News, on THE
Navy and the Big Cum" has created
something Of a sensation in Britain. In
this article Mr.. Douglas, after men,
tioning that the German seventeen
inch gun used to shell Dunkirk at 20
miles range was manufactured for a
definite purpose, and that purpose was
leveled at Great Britain's sea power,
suggests that the Germans may be
put seventeen Inch guns into some new
type Of ship designed to convoy and
cover transports.
Naval authorities refuse to be fright
ened by Mr.. Douglas suggestion or
with this assertion: IF Won Specs
flagship had been armed with seven
inch guns it would have sunk the
Invincible."
One Of these naval authorities is of
the opinion that II 17-inch guns had
been put into Won Specs flagship it
would have turned quietly over on its
side and sunk to the bottom of the sea-
This authority says: Nothing is abso-
lutely impossible, but it would prob
ably be cheaper and quicker to build
new ships to carry 17-inch guns than
to rearm the old ones and none of the

11-inch gun ships or 15-inch gun ships
could be re-armed without tearing ev-
erything out Of them except the en-
gines." A Conan Doyle is of the opin-
ion that at sea extreme ranges, say Is
or 16 miles, there can be no accuracy;
that 15-inch naval guns can be aimed
to hit a target as far as it is visible,
but beyond that range one is aiming
at nothing. and that, if beyond that
range the gun loses it's accuracy OF
fire, a slightly lighter gun may be
quite as useful. mo doubt, if shells
with this heariver impact" adds the
biographer of Sherlock Holmes, could
get home they would do better dam
age, but the whole point is whether
they could do so. AS we have far
more ships than they, it is to be
hoped that even if the Germans have
17-inch guns, three of our 15-inch
shells will get home to every two OF
their 17-inch shells, and we shall have
an excellent show of winning"
