FOUGHT OVER CAPTAINS BODY
SuperstItlous Sailors Wanted Com mander Consigned to sea--others
 Would Carry Corpse to Port.

A weird tale of shipwreck, death at sea, and the fierce, rough-and-tumble battles of superstitious, hard-fsted sea- faring men was revealed when Attor- ney John R. Tyrrell filed for probate in the superior court the will of Capt. Charles D. Olsen, master of the clipper ship James Rolph, IT,. the San Francisco Chronicle states.
 Olsen died on the return from Liv- erpool with his ship in ballast. At one stage of the trip his ship was wrecked, and since 1t was not heard of for a long time was given up as lost. He got 1t off the rocks, patched 1t up and continued the voyage. Then he became i'll and died.
 With him on the voyage were his wife, their eight-year-old daughter, and the child's nurse. After his death cer- tain members of the crew insisted thar he should be buried at sea. The cap tain was honored and respected by all his men, and the insistence of some of them on burial at sea was due to their firm belief that if was the fitting burial for a seafaring man. and that i'll fortune would strike the vessel if this were not done.
 Others of the crew. the majority. ar gued that the body should be borne to land, as Mrs. Olsen desired. When the arguments waxed hot the disputants resorted to fists, knives and clubs, un- til separated and quieted by the ships officers The body was then taken into the hold of the vessel and buried four feet deep in the ballast.
 When the ship reached Panama the coffin was disinterred and hoisted to- ward the deck to be taken ashore and cremated. Superstition again caused trouble, and sailor named Larson. the biggest man on the ship, leaped to the side of the coffin when it reached the deck and with knife threatened to kill anyone who attempted to- re- move the body from the ship before it was safe in it's home port of San Francisco, because of his belief that i'll luck would certainly come to the ship if it were moved.
 By ruse he was quieted and led away. The body was taken ashore.

 James Lorrimer stood for a long time looking down into the street be- low. Then he came to bend over the little waiting girl, and his face was very tender.
 "So you'd give your own happiness for the sake of your beautiful lady, Wanda Rose?" he said. And do you think that she could still find happi- ness with a husband who had been so unkind? For If you do. we are going together. you and T.
 The child sighed happily.
 Shell want us both," she said, be cause, you see, she loves us"
 "Me?" asked the big man. The one tremulous word was all that he could say. Wanda-Rose nodded confidently.
 "She told me that she loved you. That's why thought you'd be glad to know, when hunted you out in the telephone book"

 The lawyer arose abruptly and put the child from him. His brows were drawn together again and his gaze was darkly piercing.
 "WellT' he asked.
 Wanda-Rose settled herself again qnietly in the big chair "Well, Rog- er's father married after that, Ellen says, an he took Roger away; an my mother used to cry a great deal, she was so dreadfully lonely. Not for Roger, Ellen says, but for her husband He didn't know that she was lonely of course, or even that Roger had gone; he just kept on staying away. Then my beautiful lady began to visit the hospital and orphanage, an brings us toys an roses, an she called me her rose' liked to make her laugh {; she had such a pretty laugh-like birds singing when you hear them in the morning.

She just put her head down then and cried harder than ever an she said: Never, darling, now-I'm afraid So thought that now meant me-that he'd never come now you see, cause was here like Roger.

Seed Identification.

There appears to be much interest in the electrification of seeds and the application of electricity to growing plants, says the Scientific American. A recent account of work along these lines tells of a new method of aiding plant growth. The seeds. ten or 20 sacks, are placed In tanks provided with iron electrodes at both ends; the electrolyte Is solution of sodium ni- trate or some other fertilizer. Par ticularly with cereals-wheat, barley and oats--the yields of both grain and straw are said to be increased. Some 500 farmers have taken up the treat ment of the seeds, which Is followed by a very careful drying in a kilna month or two before sowing.

She liked me because made her smile; 1t had grown very hard, she said, for her to smile, so she managed with the directors to adopt me and took me home with her. She was the first mother I'd ever had. Some one found me long ago in the orphanage garden, when I could hard ly talk at all, and what called myself sounded like Wanda so that's the name they gave me. My beautiful iady added Rose; she says Pm like rose to her. But, please. will you make me unadopted?"
 The big man got up and lifted the tiny figure to his knee.
 I'm afraid that don't understand all this, Wanda Rose" he said, whimsi- cally. If your beautiful lady Is also kind, why wish to be 'unadoptedf
 The child raised reproachful eyes. "As if I'd ever wish to be-" she said. Its for her sake that I'm doing it. So that he will come back again" James Lorrimer shook his head. .'I will have to ask you to explain further, Wanda"

Ellen, that's the cook, says that they were very happy together until my lovely ladys sister died and she took her little boy to raise.

"It is and has always been the GUS tom for Democratic candidates to an- nounce in our county papers, and, in my opinion, any man that enters the race and does not announce unless a better reason is given absolutely unfit and unworthy to have an office" The above is remark made by one of our older citizens an dbusiness men the past week.

WHAT'S IN A COLUMN?
Ted Robinson in Everybody's

Ted Robinson in Everybody's
There are two kinds of humor col
umns- good and rotten. There is no
middle ground But on some days a
good column is bad, though on no days
a bad column is good. And to be
good, column need not be all funny.
Humor is subtle thing; it pervades
a column and is the soul of it; but
even humor is not always funny.
The column conductor ought to tell
the truth as he sees it, and sometimes
the truth is mighty solemn. A part
of the column may sparkle with wit,
another part may contain satire; an
other, pathos, another, pure lyricism
yet another, earnest literary criticism
and discussion. For the column mans
range must be wide; it must glance
at contemporary thought and life
and art. His peculiar humor tinges
the whole and gives his individuality
to his work. He is not necessarily a
funny man." People with a strong
sense of humor are seldom funny
On the other hand, if a column man
takes himself or his public too seri-
sously, he is doomed If he We're a
propaganda, he couldn't be column
man. Propagandists rarely possess
the ultimate sense of humor.

Work is extended to all men under the
