THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR

Money is a good servant, but dan
gerous master. Some say that even
as a servant Money is master, and
there is strong argument as you VIII
and you must admit that the almighty
dollar is almost master Of every con-
dition. without it, war would cease
so the optimists say, bit long before
money was the medium VI e1cnange'
war frequently ragged at great fury.
Money in one form or the other mas
always existed Between Adam anu
Eve it took the form of an apple, 1t
purchased her desire, but it did not
mean happiness. For ages men ano
women have sacrificed true happiness
in order to gain wealth, in the bellef
that it would bring contentment, but
alas, if the principles Of contentment
are not within us-the possession Oh
wealth or station will not provide hap
piness.
See" The Almighty Dollar and you
will go home with your mind focused
on new angle of life-and will sud-
denly find yourself grown rich.

LITTLE GIRL THOUGHT THE
TORPEDOED STEPHANO LOVELY

Charleston American
isn't it lovely, mother?' That might
seem strange for little child OF seven
years to say to her mother, while they
were huddled together aboard one OF
the destroyers which went to the res
cue of the British passenger steamship
Stephano off Nantucket Sunday even
ing.
Yet according to little Joan Kanes
mother, who was taken from the tor
pedoed boat, that is exactly what the
child did say, although she was cold
and hungry and knew all their clothes
were at the bottom of the sea. Anc
furthermore, stated that the only thing
| that worried Joan at all was that
school bag she-was carrying to one
of her little friends in New York was
lost.
Although it might have sounded
strange for child to make such
remark in the face of "a grave danger
once you had seen the picture of little
Joan. you wouldn't think so, for the
chi,d's face shows that she is mucn
of a dreamer, and when a little boy
or a little girl is dreamer they gen
erally love things out of the ordinary.
Sometimes you find a little boy VINO
Just loves danger, and fire (of course
with no thought of malice in his heart')
is the delight of his young life. ana
there are many children in the whole
world whose one regret is that tney
can't be moving often like some Of
their little friends.
The survivors of the stephano, who
comprised 81 first class and 25secono
class passengers and 81 officers and
crew reached New York with only the
clothing they wore, and some iost all
the other possessions they had.
They were haggard, but so happy
to be alive that some were almost
hysterical. In their greeting with anx-
ious relatives and friends there were
many affecting scenes.
Among the passengers was Mr.. Fred
o'Toole of st. Johns, Newfoundland,
who had just returned after seven
months service in the trenches IN
France as a corporal of the First New
foundland regiment. He arrived with
one penny as his sole negotiable pos
session.
This was Mr.. O'Toole's first visit to
New York. He was on his way to
Philadelphia but stated that now he
would reelist and get back to the fir
ing line as soon as he could.
According to survivors the Stephano
Law undamaged for four hours after
thew deserted her while the subma-
rine, always in sight, was destroying
other steamships. Meanwhile the
United States destroyers, aboard which
the survivors had been taken after
thev were ordered to leave the Ste
piano, waited for the monster OF the
! waves to do it's fatal work.
