MONEY.

Drink; let the world drink with you;
Laugh, and you'll always have friends /:
You're good fellow when you've got
money
When you're broke-well everything
ends.
Sad? What do they want of sadness ?
Grief? They have grief of their own.
But as long as you've got the money
You're as good as king on his throne.
But don't let the world annoy you,
Laugh and you'll still have some
friends.
But stick to the cash when you get
it;
When you're broke-well, everything
ends.

STEAMERS COLLIDE
IN IRISH CHANNEL
Many Persons Lose Lives on
Retriever and COnnemara.
NO AMERICANS ON BOARD
Only Two Persons Are Known To
Have Been Saved In Disaster.
43 Bodies Wash Ashore On
the Irish Coast.
(Convright.l

Belfast.-The loss of life in the dis
aster to the steamers Retriever and
Connemara, in the Irish Channel, ag
gregate 80. Only two persons are
known to have been saved. The crew
Of the Retriever numbered 13, one of
whom and also one passenger of the
Connemara were saved. The two YES
sells lie partly submerged within sight
of land. Heavy seas are breaking
over them.
Forty-three bodies of victims of the
collision were washed ashore on the
Irish Coast.
Many of the bodies were naked.
Some were so badly crushed that they
can never be identified. Others bore
absolutely not mark of the disaster.
The Connemara carried 81 passen-
gers and a crew Of 80 and had her
lower decks filed with cattle. 1t is
believed that no American was on
either ship.
Ten bodies were washed ashore at
Cranfeld Point, so miles north of
Dublin. Near the same spot a number
of cattle swan ashore from the Con-
nemara. The bodies of many more
were found along the coast, mingled
with human corpses and wreckage
of the two steamers. Incoming ships
reported the Connemara floating bot
tom up outside the bar.
William Boyle, member of the
crew of the Retriever, one Of the two
survivors, has given but fragmentary
account of the tragedy. The Retriever,
he said, became unmanageable in the
furious storm as she approached thS
narrow entrance to Carlingford Lough.
Through the darkness her captain sud-
denly sighted the outbound Come
mara, fighting her way toward Holy
head on the crest of a wave. The
Retriever tried vainly to change her
course, but bore down on the Come
mara with blow that lifted her COM
pletely out of the water and threw her
over on her side. The Connemara
apparently capsized before a boat
could be launched. The Retriever sank
in few minutes.

Carruthers, they used to call him on
the Platinum Exchange-it stood to
reason that he wouldn't stand for his
associates shooting down strikers and
their wives and children in cold blood,
Birsky. The magazine owner also
says to the author that he should
ought to be ashamed to write a story
where an American mine owner paid
foreign mine workers such a miserable
wages, y'understand, and that for
writing such an exaggerated and un-
true story he couldn't give the author
the regular amount for the story, hut
paid him $35 for it, which the author
figured was at the rate of &c. an hour
for his work. Later the magazine
owner got to like the story better, so
naturally when them Colorado mining
people reads on the front page of the
magazine that The Guilty Dollar is
a marvellous, gripping, genius-inspired
story of the Iowa Platinum Mines,
understand, and is a mastery and
accurate study of the problem of min
ing capital and labor, they want to
find out what it is about. First the
Acting General Manager reads it and
says to the Second Assistant Vice
president: what some people wouldn't
do for money! And to make a note
in the story they used machine guns
on the strikers. When the Second AS
sistant Vice President got through
with it, he said that feller who could
imagine such a rotten state of affairs
in any big industrial community was
a tiger in human form and made
memorandum of the bull-ring idee, the
shutting off of supplies to the strik-
ers, including milk for their babies,
and one or two other pointers about

strikes, and then he passed it on to
the Head ,Actuary and says to him
that no wonder people hated the trusts
when such lies were allowed to be
printed about them, and that he
should look over the story and report
tomorrow morning at the latest what
could be done to equalize the wages
of the foreign mine laborers out in
Colorado with the foreign mine labor
ers in the story
"Aber don't people get no good idees
out of magazine stOries?" Birsky
asked.
"Well," Zapp said, 81 myself got a
couple designs for waists from maga-
zine covers and 1 figured 1 made five
per cent of the regular cost of the gar
ment or the goods 1 didn't use in the
neck and sleeves"
/ you could have made more than
that if you would be as sparing with
dress goods as the artists that draws
some magazine pictures" Birsky said.
''If lady would select the kind and
amount of clothes that some maga-
zine artists thinks plenty sufficient for
their pictures, and If she would wear
such clothes on Fifth Avenue, Zapp,
before the patrol wagon arrives, she
would attract a crowd of twenty thou
sand people"
'But there wouldn't be. no magazine
readers among them," Zapp retorted.
1.-THE magazines has given people very
liberal idees in the matter of dress
and etiquette, Birsky. Yes, Birsky, a
lot of people have changed their way
of living from reading magazine stO-
ries. Some of 'em moves into other
neighborhoods on account of it. Take,
for instance, Sam Zarodnik of Zarod-
mix and Karpas, in the fur business
and Sam tells me he is going to move
from 8th Street to 26th Street"
''It's funny how people changes -
Birsky said. '"Ten years ago when Ia
rodnik & Karpas signed checks, Kar-
pas wrote the Zarodnik and the Kar-
pas, and it was as much as Sam could
do to write the and Yet nowadays
that feller is reading magazines yet"
What are you talking nonsense
Sam Zarodnik reading magazines?"
Zapp exclaimed. "Sam couldn't even
read electric signs in words of one
syllable, like Lunch and Cafe
said he was moving away from 8th
Street on account of other people
reading magazine stories, Birsky,
which if you read anything from mag
azines, Birsky, you would know it
that every magazine has got in it at
least two stories where the scene is
laid in a studio close to Washington
Square, and what nearly happens in
them studios, according to the stories,
Birsky, has created such a demand
for studios close to Washington
Square that all the furriers and cheap
clothing contractors has got to move
away from there; and the old run
down houses they used to occupy is
being made over into studios and filed
with magazine readers at rentals
which furrier or a clothing contrac-
tor would consider high for a sprinkled
fireproof loft with two elevators and
light on three sides"
"Aber what does all the people want
studios for?" Birsky asked. ''They
amt artists, are they?"

FORHAGUE MEETING
BEFORE WAR ENDS
Worlds Court League Consider
ing Calling of Conference.
MIGHT TRY PEACE MAKING
Plan To Organize An international
Council - League Would Be
Clearinghouse Of Peace
Movements.

New York. - The worlds Court
League announced here the inaugura'
tion of movement to organize an in
! ternational council with a'view to call
ing third Hague conference perhaps
before the close of the war. In the
latter event the conference would be
prepared to act as medium for peace
proposals. After the war it would
serve for formulating and codifying
new rules of international law.
"To constructive statesmen and
leading thinkers" of all nations invita-
tiohs will. be mailed this week, it was
stated, inviting them to accept ap-
pointments as members of the board
of governors of the proposed interna-
tiOnal council.
The league, in purposing to estab-
lish itself as clearing house Of peace
movements, plans to go before the
world mot as a sheriff assigned to en-
force peace" it was explained, but as
permanent body which would be sus-
tanned by public opinion. If necessary,
however, the armed power of nations
might be called to its support, accord
ing to the leagues plans, should pub
lie opinion not prove to have con-
vincing influence upon any of the
nations.
The leagues announcement was
made in connection with making pub
lie a new set of principles and pro-
gram of action adopted at a recent
meeting it held in this city. DR.. John
Wesley Hill resigned as the general
secretary on October 1, it was stated,
and DR.. Samuel T. Dutton, member Of
a number of leading American peace
societies, was elected in his place.
Under the plans the International
Council of Cancellation would be asso-
ciated with an international court Of
justice representing all nations. This
court, subject to the limitations Of
treaties" would be empowered to as
sumo Jurisdiction over international
questions in dispute that are justifi-
able in character and that are not set
tied by negotiation.
The league intends it's program to
afford the common ground" upon
which all peace workers may meet
and cooperate.

Value Of Work.

Idleness standing in the midst of
uninterrupted tasks is always tending
to humility. Work touches the keys
of endless activity, opens the infinite,
and stands awestruck before the i'm
mensity of what there is to do. l am
sure we all know the fine, calm, sober
humbleness of men who have tried
themselves against the tasks Of life.
1t was great in Paul, and in Luther,
and in Cromwell. It is something that
never comes into the character, never
shows in the face, Of a man who has
not worked.-Phillips Brooks.

at the time, just told him to go away
and not bother me, that his grand
mother would not slap him If he did
not deserve it. Later on l asked him
what he did that his grandmother
slapped him, and he said: "Oh, it is
no use telling you, you love your moth
er anyhow."-Chicago Tribune.
