MADE BRAVE FIGHT FOR LIFE
HaIf-sreed Sailor, Wrecked Off Phil
ippines, Simply Determined He
Would Not Die.

Among the crew of the POigat,
ship that foundered off MalabOn, in
the Philippines, was a half-breed
sailor named Alexandra Lorenzo. In
the moment of the ships sinking ne
was agile enough, and lucky enough,
to leap clear of the wreck and escape
the deadly suction of the disappearing
vessel. He was alive and uninjured,
but he was many miles from shore,
and there was no help in sight.
After swimming for an hour ne
found Il hatch cover on which he rest
ed. Then pushing the hatch cover
ahead, he started for San Nicolas. lie
was just reaching shallow water When
the tide carried him out to sea again.
AS night came on the wind Increased
and the waves tossed him ana MS
hatch cover back and forth till ne
was almost exhausted, being washed
toward the Cavite shore. For several
hours he drifted in, but just as his
hope grew strong the tide and Wlnu
swept him in spite of his Strug s-es
once more out to sea.
Something brushed against his leg.
He thought that it was a shark ana
screamed in fear. "It did not toucn
me, or I should have gone mad ne
said. The water was cold, the night
was dark and the rain beat down on
him. He heard a cry in the darkness,
and pushed his hatch cover in the d.
rection whence the sound came. lie
found a Filipino boy, another sur
vivor of the wreck, clinging to an OIL
box. They drifted together.
When daylight came they could see
boats, but could not make themselves
heard or seen. They were tortured
by thirst, salt water got into their
mouths, they drifted all day.
Night came again. Soon after dark
they saw the lights Of breakwater,
and with new hopes noticed that the
lights grew larger and more distinct.
They were being washed toward the
shore But the boy could not hold
out. Taken with cramps, he lost his
hold on the Oil box and went down.
The man was washed into the middle
of the bay and drifted all night.
At dawn he was almost ready to
give up, but the wind and waves head
ed him for the shore and he took
heart. Then he saw boats and used
his last strength in trying to reach
them. The boatmen saw Tim, were
able to get to him in time tnd picked
him out Of the water. There was not
much Of the man left, and shrieking
for water, he collapsed in the bottom
of the boat.
AS he lay on a pallet, after he found
himself able to talk again, his res
cuers spoke of his wonderful endur-
ance. Alexandra in reply said that,
of course, he had dons the best he
could. He wanted to I've, he said

EASY PICKING FOR SCOTSMAN
ment in German Prison Camp
Got All the Money in Sight.

A Scotch corporal was appointed by
the commandment to look after our
boots and to serve our soup. His
name was Allen, but we called him
Steamboat" for short Steamboat
Immediately began a siege upon the
affections Of the German nurse who
had charge of the officers mess and
our fare began to improve.
He stole beef and potatoes for us
and schnapps for himself. Steamboat
was not the only one who was steal
ing. There were a few tons of pO-
tatOes in the basement and a guard
would take a fatigue down occasion
ally to pick out the rotten ones. They
spent most of the time putting good
potatoes by a window for the Bel
gians and invariably came back up
stairs with their breecheS legs filled
with the best. These were boiled and
issued through the ward at night. You
can imagine what a row there was
when an inspector went down and
found the basement innocent of pOta-
toes.
Steamboat had with him a crown
and-anchor board a great gambling
game of the British army. He soon
found when the Germans would get
their pay and made plans accordingly.
He spread his board on a table and
began rattling the dice in a tin cup
and with familiar accents began spiel
ing. "Old Joe, the man with the
dough-" "If you don't speculate you
can't accumulate" speaking in Eng
fish. The German walking wounded
crowded around. I put down a few
pfenngs and won. Rhett came in for
Il little loss. The night nurse tried
her luck and it was bad. In a few
minutes play was in full swing and
they were almost fighting for standing
room about the table. In two hours
Steamboat had all the money. Crown
and anchor became an institution,
with Steamboat winning at nearly ev-
cry session. With this money he
bought vile German cigarettes for
his comrades and wine for himself.

Double Performers.

The other night Mrs. Carrie B.

were on the same program. Now,
Mrs. Adams did not know that Ma

rather tired she turned to Mr.. Bayh
and said: you sing the next verse

Major Bayh seemed embarrassed,
but complied with her request. Hard

to Mrs. Adams: "Now, before I get

First Siuht of a Pju,

Along the hard, dry, windswept road

most unusual spectacle in London of
recent years. From the by-streets the
children of the poor came hurrying to

seen q pig before.
"Look, Lizer!" cried one of the

War on Hawks.

So important are the services Of
carrier pigeons in time of war that any
birds that prey upon them are prompt
ly marked for destruction. That is
why hawks have been the special tar
gets for the American soldiers, as
these fierce birds that are so swift of
wing take great delight in chasing
down the carrier pigeons and then
making a feast on their tender flesh.
To keep the carrier pigeon in active
service the hawk must be eXterminat-
ed, for in attacking the carrier pigeon
the hawk virtually attacks the army
whose message is entrusted to the car

IAN intelligent agricultural policy IS
the basis of a great industrial policy,
and q systematic effort must be made
to bring the people back to the land.
A great agricultural policy relieves the
labor market, and when there are peri
DDS of depression there is always the
land. There is not the same competi-
ton which throws men out of employ
ment. On the other hand, there is Il
nursery to train vigorous men who
will sustain other industries, and unless
there is agriculture this cannot do
that, an industrial system cannot be
