A CONTRAST IN POLICE.

In Christiania the polica".an Is a mild and amiable citizen in a gt Tor shiny coat and none too neat who stands in the middle of the roadway and tries to maintain some semblance of order in the democratic muddle of the city's traffic.
 In Stockholm the policeman is a walking arsenal, with sword and pis- tol and a brass helmet, and the arrest of disorderly person becomes an act of state. There the policeman repre- sents the high authority of a proud country. He fulfills his duty with a stern severity. He is the symbol of law and established order.
 In Copenhagen the policeman is nei- ther the happy-go-lucky citizen woh patrols the streets of Norway nor is he a creature of resplendent glory like his colleague in Sweden. He strikes happy medium. In this he Is an excellent representative of land where the art of sensible and peace full living seems to have been brought to it's highest perfection, where every body seems well fed. where beggars are as scarce as very rich people and where the women live up to the best traditions of the charming china which is made in the royal residence of Den mark.-Hendrick Willem Van Loon in Century

HEROISM IN THE NAVY

Our navy is crwded with men who will face any danger. Some years ago one our battleships was on the bat tie range. with bags of powder slowed in her turrets to save time in loading and firing guns. A spark got to the bags of powder There were an ex- plosion and a fire. Directly under meath was the handling room. Burn ing pieces of cloth fell from the turret down into the handling room. The crew of that handling room could have jumped into. the passageway, made their way up l"dder and so on to the free and safe air of the oDen deck. What they did was to stana by to stamp out what fire they could.
 Leading from the handling room were the magazines. The doors of the magazines were open. Men jump ed into the IF gazines and buttoned the keys of tho bulkhead dors so that there would bc no crevice for sparks. In doing that hey locked themselves in, and once they had to stay in. Above them, they knew, was turret full of men and officers dead and dy- ing. They Enew that fire was raging around the n, too, and that the next thing wou' be for the people outside to flood the magazines. The maga- zines were flooded When things were under control and the doors opened the water in the magazines was up to the mems necks.
 While that was going on below decks in the turret were other men and officers, including the chaplain, not knowing what was going on below and expecting everp moment to be were, easing the last moments of the men who were not already dead. Thirty all told were killed in the tur- ret. All concerned behaved well, but no better than they were expected to behave.
 A few years ago there was des- troyer off Hatteras. It was before day break of winters morning in heavy weather A boiler explosion blew out her side from we'll below the water line clear up through to her main deck Men were killed by the explosion; oth- CTS were sadly scalded A steam burn is an agonizing thing. yet some of these scalded men went back into that hell of boiler room and hauled out shipmates who, to their notion, were more badly burned than themselves One such rescuer died of his burns The hole in the deck and top side Of that destroyer was twelve feet across yet her commander and crew got her to Norfolk under her own steam. Commander and crew behaved we'll

DEATH OF PRISONER STARTS MOVEMENT
 FOR IRISH REFORMS

DUBLIN, October fCorrespondence) The Sim Fein prisoners in Mountjoy having abandoned the hunger strik 3 on accepting the concessions of the government. have now all recovered their health. They are allowed to mix freely together in the prison, to obtain food from outside, and to re- ceive visitors. It has been arranged that they shall be transferred to Dun dalk Jail which recently has been used as a Red Cross Hospital.
 The death of Thomas Ashe, the Sim Feiner, as a result of his hunger strike, has favored the spread of the Sim Fein movement, since, for the time. it united all Nationalist parties in support of the principle that poli- tical prisoners should recieve distinct treatment. Great numbers of post cards were issued bearing the photo graph of Ashe followed by an inscript- ion to which the police took exception, and the cards in many cases have been seized in the news-agents' shops.
 Court martials for illegal drilling continue. One was held in Cork Bar racks which illustrates the curious currents of Irish feeling at the mom- ent, for it was shown that one of the prisoners had two brothers in the army fighting in France and that the prison had himself been in the army and been discharged as under age.
 Some of the Sim Fein Clubs have esta blished local courts of arbitration to prevent litigants from entering the courts.

BLUE JACKET PRINTER
 BUSY MAN OF NAVY
Is General FavOrite With Men But Warns Them Against
 Intrusion in his Sea Domain

BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLA IN BRITISH WATERS-Oct. (Correspon- dence of the Associated Press)-The fiotilla printer is one of the busiest Americans here. He is a native of Chicago and holds a card in typo graphical union No. Is. of that city. "Skee" from "Chi'' he is called by the bluejackets who seem to have nick name for everything.
 "Skee" does not go to sea. He works on board a vessel that swings at a buoy in this port. From morning till night he is kept busy on the avalanche of orders that come rolling in for printed stuff fo~ the whole flotilla. Of late he has been doing cS...o work for the British naval forces. His work room resembles a small jobbing office and is tucked out of the way in the stern of the fiotilla flagship. It is fenced off with warnings against in trusion. All type is set by hand and printed on a small hand press elect rically operated.
 The flotilla printer has made a hit by the way in which he illustrates the program he prints of the entertainment provided by the bluejackets at their shore clubhouse. turning out rough wood cuts for the cover of the pro- gram. Last week he had a picture of the clubhouse with sailors arriving in limousines. Girls who are barred from the clubhouse are frequently de- picted waiting in automobiles for the sailors to reappear. His latest at tempt was an illustration of that part of West 43rd Street, New York, known as Melody Lane to go with the burlesque of that musical thorough fare produced by the sailors.
 The fiotilla printer is a chief petty officer with the rating of first class printer With the increase in pay made recently he gets $62 a month as printer and to this must be added his
 year allowance as a naval re- serve man which brings his monthly stipend up to S70. Uncle Sam pays his board and lodging A satisfactory
 @ature is that there is no composing room foreman to boss him. He alone in the flotilla knows his job

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

There isn't much to tell about the
basket ball games last Friday night.
Everyone surely knows all about
them by this time. From the way
the hall was crowded it seemed as i
nearly the whole population Of the
high school and town was there.
Butler played two wonderful. games.
The girls have fine team and they
will provo that they are capable of
representing B. H. S. before the sea-
son is over. As for the boys, the
critics say that this years team looks
as strong if not stronger than any
team Butler has had in the last few
years. If the teams can only get the
support they received last Friday
night in every game during the sea-
son, it is needless to say that two
winning teams will finish this years
basket ball season for Butler High.
The election of pupils to this years
Annual Staff was held last Thursday.
As yet the results are unknown and
it is probable that some Of the Of
fices will have to be voted upon
again. The two basket ball teams
were made to sit upon the stage and
were introduced to the student body.
This certainly stirred up enthusiasm
for the game last Friday night.
Then came the best of all, short ad-
dress by the Rev. Cutrell of the
North Methodist church. He talked
to US about grit, grace and gump-
ton" We want to hear him in a
longer talk to US some time for his
short talk was certainly interesting
and full of wittitisms.
The students will get a short va
cation this Thursday and Friday
while the teachers are in session at
Kansas City. None Of the students
have opposed this vacation and the
probability is that none will.
Freshmen Facts.
Oh, horrors! We received our
grade cards. Some Of US were afraid
to look at them but it was found up
on looking that we had made fine
grades. There. were 10 E's, 70 SIS and
IS F's.
The Freshmen girls and boys
played the west school girls and
boys last Friday afternoon The
girls score resulted I4-s: the boys
