selves, before we can expect sue
cessfully to exact it from others.
There is not a business in which
one of the first things demanded of
a beginner is that he understands
orders and obeys them. If a
plumber sends out a young ap-
prentice to do a certain job, that
apprentice knows his success in
work rests upon his knowledge of
what he is doing and his ability to
do what he is told to do.
Not so very long ago, boy was
sent out to fix the joint of GER
tain water drain pipe. He was
given explicit instructions as to
what he was to do. Examining
the pipe, he made up his mind that
his orders were wrong. 1t would
have cost him little trouble to have
telephoned back to his shop and
had the original instructions re-
peated to him, but he had not yet
learned the lesson of obedience.
He mended the pipe his own way.
Three days later the building
was flooded; it was necessary to
call out the fire department to
check the damage, and the prop
erty was injured to the extent of
several hundred dollars. The boys
explanation was: Il thought my
orders were wrong and l fixed the
pipe my own way.''
He paid for disobedience with
the loss of his position and dis
credited name.
Obedience brings rich reward.
Possibly, in rare exceptions, or
ders may be wrong, but the one
who obeys cannot be wrong since
he followed orders If the orders
are not wrong, there comes the
consciousness of learning, through
|obeying orders, the wisdom of
older minds.

Obedience and Its Value
By WILLIAM H. SEXTON
Corporation Counsel of Chicago

In one of his early campaigns
with the western Indians, General
Phil Sheridan ordered subordi-
nate officer to occupy a certain po-
sltion. In his own mind, this
officer believed the order was a
mistake. He was certain it was a
gross error and, as he afterward re-
lated, he was about to say so, when
his sense of obedience came to him.
He saluted and obeyed the order.
For hours he and his command
lay in position that was not in
volved in the fighting at all. He
chafed and inwardly criticised his
superior officer for a ''blunder.' -
Then, of an instant. the brunt of
the entire battle fell upon his men,
and they were fresh. The Indians
did not suspect they occupied the

over shreave attached to the end
of kind of a crane or arm that
projects short distance from the
ships side. The brakeman in the
meantime applies the brake and
adjusts the handle for raising and
lowering the lead. After the leads
man has placed the wire on the
shreave, or fair lead, as it is called,
he attaches the sinker and with the
assistance of the officer in charge,
the depth recorder, or chemical
tube, is attached. At the COM
mand, ''let go!'' the brakeman re-
leases the brake and lets the wire
run free until the dial on the
sounding machine shows that two
hundred and fifty fathoms of wire
have gone overheard; he then be-
gins to apply the brake in order to
stop the wire at the three hundred
fathom mark. The sounding is
recorded as, mo bottom at three
hundred fathoms." If, however,
bottom is reached before the entire
length of wire is out, the brakeman
begins to wind in the wire with the
assistance of the leadsman. The
lead and recorder are then exam
ined; the lead for specimen of the

position they did. They not only
repulsed the attack, but really won
the victory of the day.
Years afterwards, when this SUBJ
ordinate officer had risen to high
rank, he told General Sheridan of
his feelings that day and added:
The worth of obedience was
impressed upon my mind that day
as never before or SINCE"
But" queried General Sheri-
dan, suppose my order really had
been a blunder-what then?"
I still would have had no ex-
cuse for disobeying you. The re-
sponsibility for that order rested
with you. It was my duty to obey
or resign the SERVICE"
In the story is the kernel, or
meat, of the shell which encloses
the word obedience"
No hmaun being ever started
life as master or a boss. We all
begin life with the proposition
staring us straight in the face that
before we can command, before
we are fit to order others, to give
directions, we must learn to obey
those above us. We must learn
the discipline of obeying, our

bottom and the recorder for the
depth. 1t takes from a few Sec
onds to one minute for the lead to
reach the bottom from the time it
is let 60, and from fifteen seconds
to five minutes to wind it in, if the
depth does not exceed one hundred
fathoms.
The main advantage of the
sounding machine over the hand
lead is that the speed of the ship
need not be reduced, and the time
required to sound great depths is
reduced to very small fraction
of time required when the hand
lead is used.

THE WOMAN WHO UNDERSTANDS
E. J. Appelton, Cincinnati

Somewhere she waits to make you win,
Your soul in her firm white hands;
Somewhere the gods have made for you
The woman who understands.
AS the tide went out she found him
Lashed to spar of despair;
The wreck of his ship around him,
The wreck of his dreams in the air
Found him and loved him and gathered
The soul of him to her heart,
The soul that had sailed an uncharted sea,
The soul that had thought to win and be free,
The soul of which she was part;
And there in the dusk she cried to the man:
"Win your battle-you can-you can"
Helping and loving and guiding,
Urging when that was best,
Holding her fears in hiding
Deep in her quiet breast
This is the woman who kept him
True to his standards lost.
When tossed in the storm and stress and strife,
He thought himself through with the game of life
And ready to pay the cost,
Watching and guarding and whispering still,
"Win-you can-and know you will
This is the story of ages;
This is the woman's way;
Wiser than seers or sages,
Lifting US day by day;
Facing all things with courage
Nothing can daunt or dim;
Treadng life's path wherever it leads,
Lined with flowers or choked with weeds,
But ever with him-with him.
Guardian, comrade, and Golden Spur,
The men who win are helped by her.
Somewhere she waits, strong in belief,
Your soul in her firm white hands;
Thank we'll the gods when she comes to you
The woman who understands.

~ strating that the M. S.
- P.'s have staying quail
ties. For six innings the Byers
were held scoreless and had con-
nected for but two hits off Lees
delivery. This gave the home
team visions of a shut-out, but in
the seventh frame consecutive hit
ting, including a three -bagger by
Nelson, gave them three runs. It
was sweltering day, but this
kind of weather seems to suit the
locals and they were off with
safe lead early in the game. In
the second, Fan, Lew and Lee each
raped Alvin's offerings for
doubles and during the cannonade
three runs scored. One in the
fourth and another in the sixth
were added for good measure, but
the visitors came from behind and
tied it up at five all in the first
half of the ninth. In our half
Shields singled and Lew sacrificed
him to second. Then Della took
his trusty willow and sent one of
Gouliat's slants far out to center.
Della to far third on it, but the
scoring rules limit the hit to two
bases. However, it brought home
the bacon and added to an already
good record for the day. The

CnaraCC6r OF Cn0 UOCCOu
- of navigable waters, is
called sounding. The in
- struments used for this
purpose are known as the lead
and the sounding machine. There
are three kinds of leads: viz, the
hand lead, the coasting lead and
the deep sea lead. The form of
these three leads is practically the
same, the only difference being in
their weight.
The hand lead weighs from sew
en- to fourteen pounds and is used
chiefly in harbors and rivers, or
for soundings in water where the
depth is inconsiderable.
The deep-sea lead weighs from
eighty to one hundred and fifty
pounds and is attached to a much
longer and larger line than the
hand lead. The lead is made in
the form of hexagonal pyramid
and has a hole in its upper end by
which it is attached to the lead
line, while the bottom end is hol-
lowed out to a depth of from three
to six inches. The hole in the
lower end of the lead is charged
with tallow which, on striking the
bottom, picks up specimen which
is compared with the description
of the bottom given on the chart
for the locality in which the
soundings are being taken.
The lead line is marked in vari-
Gus ways; the markings most COM
monty used are as follows: Two
fathoms, two strips of leather;
three fathoms. three strips of
leather; five fathoms, a piece of
white bunting: seven fathoms, a
piece of red bunting; ten fathoms,
a leather with hole in it: thirteen
fathoms, a piece of blue bunting;
fifteen fathoms, a piece of white
bunting: seventeen fathoms, a piece
of red bunting; twenty fathoms, a
strand of yarn with two knots in
it. Lines for harbor and lake
navigation usually have the first
four or five fathoms divided up
and marked iuto feet. For deep
sea sounding. where the lines are
longer than twenty fathoms. they
are marked above the fathom point
with an additional knot at every
ten-fathom point and by a single
knot at each intervening five-fath-
ON point.
In casting the lead, the leadsman
always takes a position on the
weather side of the vessel, usually
up near the bow. The line is
coiled down in such manner that
it will run out freely without kink-
ing or snarling. The leadsman
grasps the line about two feet
above the lead and gives it a
swinging motion so that the lead
will strike the water some distance
ahead of where he is standing. The
lead is let go and the line paid out
until it becomes slack, which is a
signal that the lead has reached
the bottom. The line is quickly
drawn taut and the mark at the
water-line is noted and called out
to the officer of the deck. If, for
instance, the line comes up to
mark fifteen on the water-line, the
leadsman calls out, by the fif.
teen!" If, however. the lines come
up with the water-line at point
half way between fifteen and sew
enteen, the call is, by the six
teen!'
For night sounding, the line is
read from the mark on the leads
mans hand, and the distance from
his hand to the water is deducted
from the sounding. When the
deep-sea lead is used, the ships
speed is reduced to about one or
two knots per hour. Several men
