Advice to a Young Man.

Give up money, give up fame, give
up science, give up the earth itself and
all it contains, rather than do an i'm
moral act. And never suppose that
in any possible situation, or under any
circumstances, 1t Is best for you TO
do a dlshonorable thing, however
Slightly so it may appear to you.
Whenever you are to do thing, though
It can never be known but to your
self, ask yourself how you would act
were all the world looking at you, and
act accordingly. Encourage all your
virtuous dispositions, and exercise
them whenever an opportunity arises !;
being assured that they win gain
strength by exercise. as a limb of the
body does, and that exercise will make
them habitual.-Thomas Jefferson.

SAILORS CLUB HAS
QUARTERS IN HUT

BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLA IN
BRITISH WATERS, Nov. THE
smallest American sailor in the whole
European fiotilla has the place Of
honor in the orchestra at the sailor S
club house here, and plays the big
gest base violin that has ever been
seen in Ireland. He come from
Chicago, and his instruments over
tops him by a clean two feet when
they are standing side by side. When
he is seated, he is completely hidden
beyond the instrument
There are thirty-five pieces in the
American orchestra, and by special
arrangement with publishers in Amer
lea, they receive proofsheets of all
the latest American music and are
playing it on the shores of Ireland
before it has appeared in New York.
?The orchestra leader is a pay clerk
on the flagship of the flotilla who
devotes several hours EACH day TO
practicing new music with his am
bilious musicians. They must learn
a new sheet of music each week TO
90 with the ever-changing bill of
entertainment provided for the sail
ors. The leader is an organizer who
has by sheer perseverance whipped
into shape an orchestra that delights
the men of the fotilla. British and
American naval and British military
officers of high rang are among the
most appreciative in the audiences
of every Friday and Saturday night
Moving pictures are always a part
of these showsA the comics being
especially welcomed by the sailors
whose loud outlaws are in themselves
enough to produce a laugh. The new
est feature, suggested by the orches-
ira leader, is the singing of the
entire audience of the latest Amer
lean songs. The words are thrown
on a large screen and are sung with
a will by the sailors.
In these audiences of between 500
and 600 there always is generous
sprinkling of British sailors and SOL
diers who are urged to avail them
selves of all the privileges of the
clubhouse. They can even sleep there
overnight in the large dormitories
provided for all men in either branch
OF service who may have overnight
liberty from ship or barracks. For
a clean, comfortable bed and shower
bath the nominal charge of shilling
is made. The best ashore is cooked
on the premises and served at a cost
price
New scenery made in London is the
latest addition to the club. 1t was
put in place by the flagship's carpen-
ters whose handiwork is seen in many
parts of the club. The ironworkers
from the same ship have also done
their first shore work since leaving
the United States by erecting a steel
hut to house the moving picture ma
chine and it's operator. The fire laws
required this little detail.
The only discordant note in con-
nection with the club comes from
the native population because they
are not permitted to view its wonders
They must be content to stand out
side and listen to the music and the
laughter of the happy men in uniform.
Il was explained to them that their
town council asked that the public
be barred The request was made
at the behest of the proprietorss of
the towns two little picture theatres
who saw a threatened loss of patron
