Largest Stepped.
What "Capt." Bob Mcintosh says
will be the longest mast of the same
diameter stepped in vessel in the
United States is one selected to re-
place the foremost of the auxiliary
schooner Margaret, which will be 20
inches in diameter at the deck, and at
the top, JOG feet above the deck, the
diameter is to be % inches. The eX-
act length of the mast from the ''step"
will be 100 feet 10 inches. There were
masts shipped by captain" Mcintosh
recently to South Africa that were 1876
feet long, but of less diameter. The
foremost now in place aboard the Mar
garet has diameter of 26 inches and
is the same length as the new one.
For two weeks search was made
for stick from which the mast could
be fashioned and when 1t was about
concluded the only means would be to
go into the timber and select one, the
specimen now here was found in log
raft. 1t Is at the st. Johns dry dock

SOLDIER FINDS Ne IS
PALLBEARER TO BROTHER
Learns Identity When Chaplain
Reads Name During Funeral
Services in France.

One of the most pathetic instances
of the war, so far as America is con-
cerned, occurred in a little cemetery
to the rear of the Picardy front re-
Gently when an American soldier act
ing as a pallbearer at the funeral Of
several American dead discovered his
own brother, Joseph Ash. among the
dead. The brothers, members of diff
ferent companies, had met only the
day before at the front. Joseph re-
manned there and was mortally
wounded that night, dying soon after
ward. His brother was ordered to
the rear lines with party Of wood
choppers.
The woodchoppers were working
near the cemetery at the time of the
funeral and the chaplain asked them
to be pallbearers. In the midst Of
the services the chaplain read the
name of Joseph Ash. The brother,
who stood with barred head in the
small group of soldier mourners,
reeled forward, his eyes filled with
tears, and he exclaimed, my brother!
Oh, my brother"
The chaplain, not understanding,
stepped up and placed his arm around
the young mans shoulder, saying,
"We are all brothers, my boy" The
soldier looked at the coffin and shook
his head.
'"rhe Germans will pay for your
blood, joe" he said, and then it was
that the chaplain and the others
around him understood and they led
him away.

Aristide Barbotin Is In trouble again
in Paris. He protests that he Is a
much misunderstood philanthropist.
1t occurred to the thoughtful Arts
tide that there must be hundreds of
travellers and visitors in Paris who
would have no safe refuge when the
alarm was sounded for an air raid. So
he leased, in one of the principal streets,
several excellent cellars. He furnished
them luxuriously and hung out blue
lantern with the device of siren upon
it. Any one who so desired could take
refuge in these cellars in case of an air
raid and entirely without charge. EN-
cept that if he wished the visitor might
buy refreshments or might enjoy join
ing in little game of baccarat.
But the police broke it up. A mar
row-minded project pretended to think
that the game was not entirely inno-

Long before the war Aristide, his
pity moved by the sad plight of the
overrich, established sanitarium or

humping fee ($20 day. We're per-
mitted to break virgin soil, plant pota-
toes for him, cut wood and to put up
some very handsome buildings by the
work of their own hands, which GER
tainly was good for them and good for
him. But the authorities stopped that
beneficent enterprise.
Bad Luck Since War;.
Since the war he has had equally
bad luck. He started patriotic res
taurant for high class patronage. The
prices We're high and the service was
excellent, but meat, vegetables and
desserts were served with the utmost
economy ESQ as to set an example to
the lower classes, Aristide pointed out) :.
That failed in time through lack of
support from an unpatriotic public.
Then he started theater, ''The
Moral Theater" he calIed it. This real

attendant upon gambling. On the
stage, set with all the paraphernalia

seen playing for high stakes. The au-
dience was made up of people who had

Jealous rival got into the theater one
night and made an awful hubbub next
day by complaining to the police that
the actors were well known men
about town, that the money they were
using was as real as the game itself.
In vain Aristide protested. His
place was closed.
Now he doesn't know what to do for

MIDWAY At STATE FAIR

1918 Kentucky State Fair, to be held
in Louisville the week of September
GA, gives promise of being one of the
most thoroughly delightful, amusing
and diversified Pathways of Pleasure"
that State Fair crowds have ever at
tended. Guarantee of unalloyed enjoy
ment is offered in the fact that the
street will be manned on either side
by the great array of feature shows
touring under the Johnny ]. Jones ban
ner Every one posted in regard to
Midway attractions is aware of the
fact that there is no Midway organiza-
ton in the country which can boast
a better, cleaner or brighter lineup OF
fun-mediums than the Johnny j. Jones
array, and the pike" of 1918 is, there
fore, certain to be a much-sought sec
ton of the Fair. Here the shows will
present fronts of dazzling gold and
myriad colors, topped by flags and ban
ners and pennants and gay with the
quips and quirks of the "barkers" and
the many bands which distinguish the
Jones' array. From the great wild
animal exhibit which heads the list OF
twenty-five Jones shows to the village
of Lilliputians, who demonstrate their
cleverness by remarkable perform
ances, the Jones shows are supreme in
class and interest. II is the Jones pol
icy to include everything any other
Midway lineup can boast and to keep
well in the van OF the balance of the
purveyors. and by this policy 1t is
claimed that visitors 10 the Midway
