sALooNkEEPER NOT TREATED

William Jennings Bryan tells this
story:
"a farmer told me that soon after
he moved from the country into little
town man came to him and wanted
him to sign a petition for a saloon In
his town, and he said No, / won't
sign it, and the man said, 'Why?' He
said, Because they don't treat the So
loonkeeper fairly Now this applicant
for license had had many objections
made to signing a petition, but never
had one of this kind been made before,
and so he said, What do you mean by
thatT Here is the explanation: You
think that your saloon will help the
town, don't you? Yes, SIR You
think that 1t will bring business and
improved trade, don't your Yes, Sir
WELL now, if chat saloon will do what
you say it will do, If it will bring trade
and improve business, and help the
town, they ought to give you bounty
for starting that saloon to help the
town and not make you pay big tax
for helping the town with the saloon
Can you answer the logic of that mans
argument?"

said no. Then asked him II we had

he went into the engine room.
I looked at the narrow passage he
went through and at the narrow pas

and talked to my feet like used ia
at Dixmude. 1 said: "Feet, do your
duty" They did it and flew up the
fiddley. Il never wanted to see that
stoke hole again.
I sneaked up to where the rest OF
the fellows were and the guards
drilled us into No. hold. There wal
nothing but ammunition in it. They
battened the matches down on us
which made the hold waterproof. And

heave us over the side and let us 60
on the RATS. But instead they began
telling us we would land In the States
and then they rousted rs between

We had only been there 2 short time
when some of the German officers cams
down and asked IL any Of the men
would volunteer to go firing on the
Yarr.wdale and we almost mobbed
them TO take us They began putting
down ,he names OF the men who were
to go and talked them into putting

five hundred pounds lighter.
Five o'clock came and by that time
I had f-'=gotten to do any worrying.
We received our usual rations and
most of US who had volunteered fig.
ured that we would receive clothes
and shoes. In the morning an officer
came down below and read out the
names of those who were to go and
felt even lighter when he called mine
We were each given life belt and
mustered on dech
The sea was pretty nasty and some
of the men had narrow escapes from
falling between the Moewe and the
lifeboats when the swells rocked us,
One man fell from the ladder ard
broke his neck on the gunwale Of the
llfeboat. They took over boat after
boat to the Yarrowdale until finally
we were all there. Then they mus.
tered us on deck and warned us not to
start anything, because they had q
time bomb in the engine room and two
on the bridge. Meantime they had
brought over several boatloads of hard,
tack and we threw it into NO. hold

WHY PUBLISH IN GERMANY
Writer Makes Plea for DisseminatieW
rs Of Scientific Literature in the
N English Language.

It has been the habit of most Of
our English and American scientists,
as we'll as those in other countries,
to publish their discoveries first in
German and then (if they get to-it)
to publish in their own language,
writes Frank A. Spragg in Science.
= a few years ago, when desiring an
English translation of German
four-volume work on the breeding of
field crops, the present writer To-
Gated translators, took up the mat
ter with the publisher and looked
for an English publisher. The
American publishing houses agreed
that the. data should be in English,
but considered that they would not
sell enough copies to pay for the UNI
dertaking.
~ Is it not about time that the Eng
lish-speaking people see to it that
the scientific literature be published
in English ? Germany has furnished
public funds when the publisher Of
technical data was not able TO sell
enough copies to make a profit.

NEW ARABIAN FLAG.

Have you ever seen the flag of the
Hedjaz, the new kingdom Of
Arabia? 1t has three bands, black,
green and white, and a red triangle
next to the staff-real Christmas
c5lors: Red is the traditional color
of the Arabians, and green the sa-
cred color of the Mohammedans.
The black is said to stand for the
holy city of Mecca and the white for
the Abbassid dynasty-the caliphs
Of Bagdad, the ones you read about
in the, arabian Nights"
