More Comma 70 Him,

There was no doubt about the fact
that Jack MacTaddy was a Scotsman
Last year, when journeying to the
country on an important GRAND, he
left his purse, containing nearly $500
in gold and silver, at the railway sta
ton from which ne started.
He telegraphed the fact on his ar
rival and the purse was kept until his
return q month later.
1t was a young clerk who handed
Jockie MacF. his wee purse with the
"spondies" as he set foot out Of the
train, and certain wild hopes were
making the young mans heart beat a
trifle unevenly.
But our canny Scot counted his
money unheeding-and when he'd
finished he looked up long and sus-
piciously at the young man.
isn't it right, sir?" stammered the
latter, in bewilderment.
"Richt-Richt! It's right enough
but where's the interest, nlon?" was
MacFaddy's stern retort.-Edinburgl

USING THE STARS AS GUIDES
Lieutenant Colonel TiIney Learned
System From African Natives Dur
Ing the Boer War.

lecture was recently delivered to
members of the Edinburgh university
contingent of the officers training
corps by Lieut.. Col. w. A. Tilney, f.
r G. S.. on a system which he has de-
v,sed to enable one to find his way at
night by using the heavens as guide
according to the Edinburgh CORE
spondence Of the Christian Science
Monitor. The lecturer said that dur
ing the South African war he had no.
ticed that the natives never lost their
way at night. In the night time the
bushmen could do anything exactly
the same as in daylight. The view
was expressed that if they could de-
wise some simple method for finding
their way at night it would have far
reaching influence on warfare.
Colonel Tilney took up the problem
and learned from various colonials,
Basutos, East Indians and Arabs that
they could instinctively read the
heavens as a compass. His idea was
to work out the exact movements and
direction of the largest and most
easily distinguishable lights so that
the least educated had only to be able
to recognize the signs and their where
abouts would be known for every hour
of the night, the whole dome OF the
sky thus becoming compass. He
completed the tables for use in Europe
in 1914, and Sir Douglas Haig COM
mended the system to officers and
men. Once the rudiments Of the sys-
tenn were grasped, one could rely abso-
lutely on the heavens to take one to
ones destination. 1t was only neces-
sary to know three or four first mag
nitude stars, the exact position OF
which for every hour Of the night was
given in the scheme he had drawn up,

Complex Bookkeeping.

The one fundamental principle I'M
DERIVING all successful business is that
The cost must be less than the selling
price. II the operation of this prin-
ciple agriculture Is no exception.
Farming, however, is such complex
business, and tie different enterprises
making up the farm unit are so intri-
cately related, that it requires an ex-
pert bookkeeper to juggle the figures
and ascertain whether there has been
profit or loss.

fact that the New York board OF

This whole question Is simply a
matter Of public prejudice. agree
with Commissioner Emerson of New
York when he says that the horse is
more careful In its eating and drink

mails. and is far less liable TO tuber-
culosis.
so far as that goes, II is undoubt-
edly true that a large percentage OF
the chickens of the Inland Empire
for instance. are afflicted with tuber-
culosis This need not cause alarm
however. for. although not perhaps
generally understood. it is no doubt
true that any meat so affected is rem
dered harmless when thoroughly
cooked

meat goes, persons who have eaten 1t

dean BRIGGS OF HARVARD IN
HIS REPORT SEEKS PROMOTION
OF BETTER ATHLETIC FEELINGS
Condemns Bad Manners Baseball Field and Unsportsmane
Tactics-Doubts Purpose of Slang Phrases

Regarding baseball the report says:
Bad manners on the baseball field and
tactics that in some sports would be con-
demned as nsportsmanlike are still re-
garded by students and the general pub
lie as part of the game; and of those bad
manners Harvard teams. though in gen
eral clean players, are not yet wholly
free. A large part of what players say
on the field results from deliberate adop-
ton Of a technical vocabulary, cheap
and meagre in ITSELF and at best doubt
full in it's purpose. Only false concep-
ton of beautiful game demands that a
gentleman in playing it shall cease to be
a gentleman"
Dean Briggs says that he personally
believes the rule banshing coaches from
the players bench during a baseball
game worth maintaining but that the
question is one of expediency other than
OF right.
The report calls attention to increased
activity among Harvard undergraduates
in both organized and unorganzed ath-
letics 1t expresses doubt whether inter-
collegiate games or games with school
teams are desirable for Freshmen.

RIGHT Or FEDERAL
TRuSTEESB & N.
BEING ARGUED

Boston, JAM 2S-An argument that the
federal trustees of the Boston & Maine
Railroad have no legal right to reorgan-
ize the road was presented before Gov
ernor Mccall today at a conference at
tended by representatives Of minority in
terests. Conrad W. Croker, counsel for
the Boston e. Maine minority stockhold-
ers' association. said that the meeting
was arranged so that the governor might
gain information upon which to base
special message to the Legislature If he
regarded the situation surrounding the
road so required. 1t was the opinion Of
the minority interests. Croker told the
governor. that there was way open to
the stockholders of the Boston Maine
for rehabilitation of the property with
out going through receivership or the
burden Of an assessment. He pointed to
earnings Of 100000 over fixed charges
by the road during the past is months.
Prof. George T. Eaton Of Andover urg-
ed repeal of the legislation obtained IN
this state last year to enable the Boston
& Maine to reorganize. THAT amounts
to practical confiscation OF. the property
of minority stockholders" he asserted.
State aid for the Boston & Maine was
favored by Asa P. French. former federal
district attorney He said that bill to
this effect now before the Legislature
was the best suggestion he had yet seen
for the relief of minority stockholders.

Sanford. Jan. 27.-Over 1000 people
were held spell bound at noon time to-
day when they witnessed one of the
most thrilling rescues that have been
recorded in Sanford in a long time.
when John Buckworth dove into the
icy waters Of the Mousam river and
hauled therefrom William Kibou, 12-
year-old boy, as he was disappearing
beneath the ice,
The two, who are chums, were on
their way to school and were making
short cut across the ice. When but
short way from the shore the ice
broke beneath KibbOu and he disap-
peared from sight only to reappear.
The ice cakes were floating about him
and there was apparently but little
hope for the youngser. Buckworth in
a flash had his ulster off and made a
dive for his companion. and after a
strenuous fight. succeeded in getting
the boy to a place Of safety.
The accident happened at time
when several hundred operatives of
the local mills were returning to their
work and all saw the thrilling rescue
1t is not expected that either will suf-
fer any ill effects from their uncere-
monious plunge.
