We're getting. Bridgetenders John Ma
loney and John Ryan at Harrison
street heard him. Maloney threw him
a life preserver. Hancox jumped from
his ice cake and seized 1t.
Then Ryan, who had notified the
fire department and police, tied a rope
to the railing of the bridge and let
himself down hand over hand until
he was treading water. He hauled
HancoX to him and held him by the
neck until the fireboat came and took
him aboard.
A police ambulance met the firehOat
and HancoX was rushed to St. Lukes
hospital for treatment, bis hands hav-
ing been frozen. Otherwise he was
uninjured, it was stated. He declined
to talk.
Bridgetenders Maloney and Ryan
also suffered frozen hands. They rub
bed them in snow, put little kerO-
Sene on them, and went back to work.

PAID HIS DEBT OF HONOR
kansas Lawyer Struggles Nine Years
to Wipe Out Moral
Obligation.

Fort Scott, Kan.-Attorney J. T
Sheppard of this town recently made
the last payment on his debt of honor.
The law declared the debt legally
blotted out years ago, but Sheppard
considered it moral obligation, and
paid every cent of 1t.
When the First National bank Of
Fort Scott failed nine years ago notes
totaling $17,500, given by Sheppard
were among the banks papers Under
the receivership the debt was compro-
missed for $4,000 and Sheppard
mortgaged his home to pay that
amount. He declared at the time that
he would pay the balance, even though
1t had been legally" paid by court pro-
ceedings.
The first payment, amounting to ST.
500, was made in 1914. In the follow
ing year he paid $1,000, and payment
of equal size recently wiped out the
obligation.

Bowser, '"when he was dying he
called me to him and told me always
to be honest under all circumstances
| Father was noble man.
Eyes, you are an honest man." said
Mrs. Bowser. THAT is, if a man In
the real estate business can be honest
and l suppose he can if he makes q
| great effort in that direction"
Mr.. Bowser felt that he had been
hit again, but, az Mrs. Bowser could
prove nothing, he let it go and con
tinued:
There are many things to make me
sad. l was reviewing the long list OF
my friends and / found that a good
half of them had been called to their
| long home. There was Noah Scott
our hired man. 1t was hard to wake
him up in the morning, but he had q
noble heart in him. He gave me good
advice He warned me never te
gamble.
1.-The trees die, the bushes die, the
/ plants and flowers die-everything
dies. Mrs. Bowser, do you realize
| that you have got to die some day."
"Why, of course" she replied, but
there was no sadness in her tone.
"The trees under which l played
as boy are dead and dying now
said the fearful Mr.. Bowser. Mother
used to have a long row of currant
bushes, but they are dead and gone
now. If I should go back to the old
home, I'd find death everywhere
There used to be brewery half q
mile below our house. If | shoulc
look for that brewery now"
Il hope you did not turn to lager
beer in your boyhood dnys? inter
rupted Mrs. Bowser.
If Mr.. Bowser had said tannery
instead Of a brewery. he could have
made sad thing Of It. He realized
that he had made II failure of II nnd
he switched off to say:
'There were my schoolmatcs. They
have fallen by the wnysde one bI
one. They had the promise of Ions
life. but they have been cut down by
the reaper. l wonder if they thought
of me while passing away, Mrs
Bowser. l can't keep the tears on
of my eyes"
"Well, you may weep" she replied
"and you will have n softer heart fo

LARK! HE SAYS KAISER REALLY
 DESIRES PEACE

Rotterdam, Jan. 30-Emperor Viii liam is in sympathy with the move rent for peace by agreement, accord ing to Prof. Hans Delbrueck of the University of Berlin, as quoted in an interview with the Nieuwe Rotter- damscha Courant's Berlin .correspon- dent.
 Prof. DeIbrueck, who himself is a Ieace by agreement advocate, said the warning nations were now divided in- t0 two camps, the first comprising those who, like Premier Lloyd George ir England and Admiral Won Tirpitz i;- Germany, wanted a fight to fin ish, and the second consisting of those who, like Emperor William, the Ger man government, the reichstag ma jority and the great majority of the people, were working for a negotiated peace.
 Germany, declares Prof. Delbrueck, has no thought of infringing on the integrity or sovereignty of Belgium and he regretted that Chancellor von Hertling in his reichstag speech did not say 60 more definitely. Nothing was farther from the chancellor's in- lChIAOAA lAIou lhS CcI I1y yiliS Out OL d policy of force, in Prof. Delbrueck' s view, and the masses of the people were behind him. He thought the fear that Admiral Won Tirpitz might
 get the power to shape things as he
 desired was quite unfounded. Prof. Delbrueck pointed to the furi-
 ous attacks by the Pan-Germans on
 the mething hitherto un-
 heard of in Germany-as sufficient
 proof of the emperor's sympathy
 with a peace by agreement.

MINT WORKING OVERTIME

Philadelphia, Jan. S0.-Uncle Sam S largest money factory, the Philadel- phia mint, is working these days as it never worked before in the history Of the country. This is in the natural order of things because the war has created unprecedented demand for coin of all denominations. No gold is being minted at present, but halves, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies are being turned out by the millions. A double force of workmen keep the mint going sixteen hours day and r:ore men are employed now than ever before.
 In peaceful times much coining vas done here for foreign govern ments, principally South America, but since the United States entered the war the special work has been stop ped. The last job of this sort was for Cuba the entire coinage of the island having been made here.
