of London barmaid saved her en-
ployer a heavy fine today when two
detectives attempted an arrest under

Two quarts of beer, please. miss, i"
ordered one OF the men as the pair
sat down at a table in the"pub."
The barmaid brought the beer, ac-
cepted the detectives money and was
about to turn away when the sleuth
arose with a triumphant smile.
Now I've caught you, haven't -"
Not on your life," was the quick

FOR REPRESENTATIVE

Columbia voters should appreciate
at this critical time in the town
history the importance of electing the
right man as representative.
Certain qualifications the represen-
tative should have. He should be of
unquestioned honesty, of ability to ac-
complish real results, sober, clean
minded, holding office as a public
trust His highest interest should be
in serving the whole people, not fac
tional group. in building up the Uni
ycrsity. the town and the county, not
in tearing them down.
Vote for Columbia tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, July 81. Rear Ad-
miral Cameron McRae Winslow, com.
mander of the Pacific fleet, one OF
the Navy's old seadogs and incidental
ly, one of its richest men, retired
from active service Saturday on his
sixty-second birthday-that being the
statutory age for retirement
Rear Admiral Winslow's wealth.
he married daughter of the Sugar
King, Havemeyer-never interfered
with his service. He did a lot of
work.
Included was the feat of taking the
battleship New Hampshire right up
to its wharf at New York, without the
aid of any help but his channel sense
This, by the way, was termed by Ad-
miral Goodrich, his superior officer
Winslow then was a captain-as the
finest piece of seamanship he ever
saw.
Admiral Winslow was boosted five
in rank when as Lieutenant
c. McR Winslow he cut the cables in
Cienfuegos Harbor, Cuba, during the
war with Spain-with the Spaniards
firing from a distance of $50 yards.
In this engagement a marine was
killed and nine men-including Lieu
tenant C. MGR. Winslow-wounded
was wounded in the hand
His promitiOn came when he was
for extraordinary hero
sm.''
WinslOw and his men went out in
sail and motor launches. Winslow was
IN charge. With the big guns on the
ships out in the harbOr firing at the
able Office-they wrecked it before
reached shore - Winslow
went into the face of a Spanish bom-
)ardment. He got by with it in ex-
,ellent shape-some casualties re-
ported, but the work done
Admiral Winslow has done lot of
ea duty. He has done some land
luty, too-enough to be known to
>ew Workers for his stay as super
-isor of New York Harbor in 1909,
80 and 1911, and to those at New
'ort. R. l., when he was at the naval
var college in 1904.
At the time of his retirement Wins
ow was a full admiral, being entitled
o that rank by virtue of his command
I the Pacific fleet. He served as a
lember of the Slocum commission
hen the burning of the New York
xcursion steamer was investigated.
Winslow was born in Washington in
s54. He was appointed to the Ma
al Academy by the President in 1870,
nd graduated in 1875.

WILL NOT TAKE EXTRA PAY
On Theory That He Does Not Deserve
More, Boy Scout Refuses Money,

Old Diogenes no doubt was seeking
desirable thing when he set out with
his lantern. He should have called
himself scOut-master and started a
company of Boy Scouts. Athens soon
would have supplied all Greece with
honest men.
But to add a little local color to
strengthen this premise: Recently
some Columbians needed a boy to run
an errand. 1t wasn't a particularly
easy one. either. A boy who was rid
ing along the street on a bicycle was
called in. He soon returned, deliver
ed the large package and started to

leave. The Columbians tried to give
him some money-they were really a
little liberal-but the boy wouldn't
take it, Finally the boy was persuad-
was firm in refusing anything more
The Columbians marvelled and ask
ed him why he wouldn't take the
money-it had been hard work and he
had earned it, they contended.
Yes" the boy agreed, lit was hard
work. but | haven't earned that much
money and / don't want to take it.
You see I've got to learn to be a Boy
Scout some day"
