SPLENDID OLD GENTLEMAN

On Saturday, last, Mr.. ]. Greene
Trimble, of this city celebrated his
ninety-fifth birthday. Surrounded
by his children and relatives this
splendid old gentleman recalled
many happenings of the long ago.
For man as far advanced in years
as he is, Mr.. Trimble is a most re-
markable man as he still retains
much vigor of young manhood and
is capable of and does transact
quite an amount of business.
1t is the sincere wish of the
host of friends of this grand old
man that he may live many more
years to be an honor to our com
munity and the pleasure and pride
of his family.

MARGERY MAXWELL.

one of the six principals with Amelita
Galli-Curci and Giacomo Rimini in
the cast. The following day in all Chi
cagO papers the critics commended her
work most highly.
During the Chicago opera season
Miss Maxwell sang in 'Dinorah" sew
eral times and also in "Manon," 1.-The
Jewels of the Madonna" "Lakme,"
francesca di Rimini" and Louise"
each time delighting the audience with
the unusual beauty and range of her
lyric soprano voice.
Nine. Galli-Curci is most enthusiasts
tic in her praise of "the (Americaine
Mees) Maxwell's superb voice."
At the close of the Chicago season,
no one was surprised to find Miss Max
well among those chosen fer the East
ern tour of the Chicago Grand Opera
company. The recognition given her
in the East was no less than she re-
ceived in her home city. The New York
Morning Telegraph used large pic
ture of her with an interesting feature
story the morning after her first APP
pearance and the Evening Mail, in a
Saturday edition, published her photo
graph in a group with Geraldine Far
rar; Ricardo Stracciari and Gordon
Key.
Miss Maxwell is a pleasing, whole
hearted American girl. All her spare
minutes she spends in knitting and at
present she says one of her great am
billions is to go to France and sing for
the wounded soldiers.

Get Out OF the Rut.

Have you ever stopped to consider
how much like a machine you are be-
coming?
True, your daily duties are perform
ed in way which seems to suit the
boss, but you jog on in the same old
way, day in and day out, with move
ments purely mechanical.
How long do you figure that you can
continue to make good by this course?
Ever think Of changing the methods
used by you for the past several
years, and which lifted you out of the
ranks Of the ordinary at the time you
adopted them, but which are passe at
the present time?
Oh, you are becoming too prosaic.
There is not enough variety in your
life.
Seek outdoor exercise; you need it.
and you should mingie with men Of
up-to-date ideas; you should visit 9th
er establishments In your line of work
and see how things are being done
there.
You are in rut.
Get out before it is too late.

SWIM TEN FEET A SECOND
Interesting Facts Developed in Scien-
tific Study of Habits
of Fish.

The speed at which fish can swim
Is summarized by the Scientific Amer
lean from recent studies as follows:
ga Belgian authority, G. Denil, while
studying fishways, concluded that sal
mon could swim at a speed of 3.15 me-
tiers a second for at least IA meters.
A Canadian, G. P. Napier, from inves-
legations in the Frazer river, expressed
the opinion that the limiting velocity
of a steady stream up which z sOckeye
salmon could swim a very short dis
lance was between six and seven miles
an hour. Finally, II. VOL Bayer Of the
United States bureau of fisheries de-
:lared that the velocity of the current
n fishways should not exceed ten feet
a second. These various figures, ar
rived at Independently, are substan-
tally in agreement. From his own
studies on f1shways in Massachusetts
Emerson Stringham found that q COM
mon species of aIewife could swim for
at least a few feet through water flow
ing about ten feet a second, about the
limit for fshways."

EsKIMos ARE HAPPY PEOPLE
Have Nc Fear Of Death, Are chIIdIiIcs
in Nature, Humorous and
InquisltiVe.

In HerscheI island, where the sun
shines continuously for eight weeks in
summer. the Eskimos had a sun dance.
not always clothed In the garments OF
propriety. They had an idea that when
the sun came back its movements
were directed by an invisible power,
but they had no tangible conception Of
q God. They had no belief in future
life, either OF reward or punishment
Today they are religious, truthful, kind
to their children and to the aged. They
are ambitious to learn; they are prac-
teal, extremely industrious, sanitary
IN their habits, well clothed and well
housed. Insanity is unknown, but tu-
bereulosis is quite common
They whale in summer and trap in
winter. They are clever in trading,
good workers on land, water and ice,
and take excellent care of their house
hold effects. Tools, if broken, are
neatly repaired. When at Herschei
island or Fort Mcpherson they eat the
white mans food with great relish. In
summer they eat their fish and blubber
raw and in winter frozen.
The Eskimos have no fear Of death !;
If told that death is approaching they
will respond with complacent smile.
They are very happy people. Their
natures are chiIdlike and they do not
continue in the same frame of mind
for two minutes at a time. They are
good-natured and humorous and very
Inquisitive. Their emotions are sud
den and short-ived-uproariou hap
py one moment and almost crying the
next
