Bridal Ship Reaches
u. s. in Record Time

New York-AlthOugh she had the
most adverse weather conditions to
contend with, the Observation-Disclosures
lean liner Frederick VIII established
a speed record between Scandinavia
and the United States, her commander
said, when the vessel locked recently
at Pier II, HOboken.
The ship, according to her COM
mander, Capt. Frederick Mechlenburg,
made the trip in nine days from
Christiania and ten days from Copen-
hagen. The voyage normally takes
from ten to eleven days.
Captain Mechlenburg said he had
gone without sleep many hours when
the ship ran into gale. At times, he
said, the wind blew 80 miles an hour
and mountainous waves swept the
bridge. Among the S74 passengers
were 35 Danish and Norwegian 'pic-
ture brides" Many of the prospective
husbands met them at the pier.

PLAN BIRD PRESERVE
At RO0sEvELT's TOMB
Cousin Buys Tract and Presents
It to Audubon Societies.

New York.-Eleven and a half acres
of wild land which surround the grave
of Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay
has been purchased by his cousin, w.
Emlin Roosevelt, New York capitalist,
and presented to the National Associa-
ton of Audubon societies for wild
bird sanctuary and shrine for bird
lovers.
The gift has been accepted and
plans made for the expenditure of
thousands of dollars in carrying out
the donors ideas. This announce
ment was made in connection with the
associations convention at the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History.
Mr.. Roosevelt, whose estate adjoins
the late presidents home at Saga
more Hill, has turned over to the Au-
dubon societies "a veritable jungle, an
ideal home for wild fowl, and fitting
memorial. to Mr.. RoOsevelt's love for
wild things" said Mr.. Pearson.
The tract surrounds the Roosevelt
tomb in Young's cemetery. A ten
room building nearby has been leased
for ten years and will be converted
into bird museum and library for
students and pilgrims to Roosevelt's
grave.
Trees, shrubs and vines which bear
fruits birds like best to feed on will
be planted on the grounds, although
the existing Jungle" will be pre-
served so far as possible. Bird-feed-
ing grounds. fountains, baths and shell
ters will be installed in natural set
tings.
A catproof fence was built around
the property before it was decided to
the Audubon societies.

ATHAhksoIvlNo HoMILY

A peculiar chance brought to our
notice this week copy of The (New
Kork) Independent issued on Thanks
giving Day, Thursday, November 26,
1874. And, under the above caption,
the editor, Henry C. Bowen, wrote
words that are as appropriate today
as they were when written forty-five
years ago, and express our sentiments
better than we can, so we reproduce
a portion and say, "Them's our senti-
ments."
at is a good thing to give thanks
unto the Lord" sung the minstrel
king, and his song seems to imply that
the occasion of thanksgiving is never
wanting. This is a lesson we do not
readily learn
ANY man who this day has honest
work and reasonable wages may well
eat his turkey with thankfulness and
drink his tirosh with merry heart.
And not least among the causes OF our
gratitude is the opportunity afforded
US of dividing our portion with those
who are IN need. The poor we have
with US always; and this is not the
greatest Of our hardships, but the
choicest of our blessings. If there is
anything that a Christian man feels
thankful for, it is the privilege of lift
ing of the load of some of his heavily
ourdened neighbors; of filling homes
that were desolate with the light OF
cheerfulness and the warmth of love;
of giving to some sad soul beauty for
ashes and garments of praise for the
spirit of heaviness. The dalntlest
Wand in the most tempting feast will
not be half so delicious today as the
remembrance that there are other
habitations where the feast has been
made cheerier and the day brighter by
g. thoughtful charity. We envy no
man his Thanksgiving dinner from
whose table is absent that sweetest of
all condiments, the gratitude OF the
poor.

Octopus Uses Ruse to
Kill Foe in AQUARIUM

Brighton, England.-An octopus and
a cormorant were kept together in
huge glass tank at the local aquarium.
They became firm enemies and spent
most of their time fighting-the cor
morant using his bill and the octopus
his tentacles.
Finally, the octopus, overcoming ire
mendous water pressure, pulled out the
plug from the bottom of the tank and
let out six feet Of the eight feet of wa
ter in it. Then he let the plug slip
back into place.
Next morning the cOrmOrant
swooped down for his morning dip. The
usual battle began, and when things
became too hot the cormorant, also
as usual, made for the floating plat
form moored to the side of the tank. 1t
was hanging six feet above the water
line: and before the bird could leave
the water it was dragged under and
killed.

WHEN TO STOP ADVERTISING!

From the Publishers Auxiliary
When a great paper like the Chica-
90 Tribune tells the world that 1T IS
the worlds greatest newspaper-and
not without some good arguments to
holster up it's claim-and then adds
that it spends more money than any
BODY else in the game to get more
business, il loks as though the time to
stop advertising is never going to ar
rive.
That has been our own belief ever
since we got our fingers inky for the
first time. There never has been a
paper that could not add to it's circu-
lation or it's advertising. Some years
ago the Daily News, of Chicago, mott
fed all it's big advertisers that they
would have to cut down on the space
thew had been allotted. The News, it
was explained, had grown to sc and
more pages every day and the price
thew got from the readers was not
enough to permit of such large issues.
Thew would not cut the news columns
and therefore the ads would have to
be cut. Later they shot the lineage
rate up and took off the limit.
Even then, at the tightest time, and
we recall those days distinctly, the
News did rot lie up minue on adver-
Using it's features. 1t kept after cir
culation just as hard as ever, although
it candidly admitted that it was going
to lose some ready money by adding
circulation. 1t admitted that it had to
keep on its campaign as paper can
not stand still; it either advances or
goes back. And the News does not
like to go back.
REWRITING to the Tribune, its
spokesman, James Cleary, head OF its
business survey department, asserted
that if the paper ever got so it en-
tered every home in it's field it would
still keep on plugging, trying to get
the women to buy two papers and
keep one at home while the man of
the house carried his off to the office.
In essence he said that the Tribune
would never stop advertising, no mat
ter how large it became. He had one
paragraph we liked particularly. 1t
referred to the one-newspaper town
and was as follows:
at is not enough to get out good
newspaper. Other men will get out
good newspapers, too. If you are to
lead you must sell your good newspa-
per. Even if you have the only news
paper in the community you must sell
it-advertise tiff you want tor reach
the greatest number of people"
that line is one that over half of
our readers should take to heart. 1t
means the difference between trips to
Florida or California and motor car
and luxuries, or just plain living.
Advertise your own paper and don't
be afraid to use more white space
than your best advertiser does. The
Tribune's own advertising bills, we

Bed Time Stories on
a Pullman Smoker
"cHINA"

"China's" wife had left him and the
separation preyed upon his mind. In
the old days he had been bartender,
premier and par excellent, who le-
gerdemain in extracting palatable
platitudes from forbidden juices made
him famous from coast to coast. He
was as well known on Lenox avenue
as State street, and if you spoke the
term of "China" in Nome or at the
Golden Gate, they would ask you:
(which dye mean? The country or
the bartender" He was that ia
nous.
But his wife had pull for So
ciety and she nagged at poor "China"
incontinently and consistently. So
"China" quit his job. Tony almost
wept, when "China" told him he'd
have to 60. Tony was "China's"
boss and friend and loved him like a
brother. In fact, everybody seemed
to love "China" but his wife, and
the famous one would have snapped
the whole world for her love.
Tony brought his finest cussing
combinations into play in the way of
protest. A bartending career as ar
! tistic as an Angelo was about to be
blighted and "China" was many kinds
of an emphasized damphool, but the
retiring mixer was obdurate.
"It's the missus, Tony" he said,
"and her wishes must always be re-
spected."
Tony would have liked to give ex-
preston Of what he thought of the
mlssus; but something in "China's'
-eye broadcasted cautious "better
not"
SO, "China" went the way of all
hte roses. He got him a respectable
job here and there, and finally OBJ
| tanned one on the rail. It took some
time for him to become accustomed
to the work. Lifting a heavy berth
was not like juggling a gin-fzz and
he suffered. Besides, the money did
not come so fast and the wife re-
sumed her nagging. She always
wanted money. Once or twice he was
forced to "tap Tony" as he termed
it, for twenty or twenty-five, and
that hurt his pride.
And, then, his wife just picked up
and left. That was too much for
China" and his mind would not
stand the burden. He became a
harmless, poor-witted fellow who
wandered around the old haunts, car
rying a bag, imagining he was ego
ing out on his run" Everybody had
kindly word for him and he never
suffered, save for that one place in
| mis- heart that only one thing could
fill.
What are you doing, China p
Tony asked him one day.
"Oh, Pm cooking on the road.
Just fixing to go out on my own run
now"
"Since you're cooking" pursued
Tony, II would be glad if you baked
me cake"
"Well, Tone, I might do that re-
piled the poor fellow. "Wait, I'll tell
you what I'll do. 1 won't bake you
cake. I'll bake you a pie"
And then. he went on his way, a
smile on his face and waving his
hand to old friends.
But finally the strain became too
heavy for "China.'' There was a
longing that. his friends could never
fill. His health was failing. The old
bag he carried became shabbier and
shabbier, and "China" himself was
fading away. One day he was miss
ing. Didn't show up all day. Tony
drove his big red car down Calumet
way where China lived and was gone
for two hours. Coming back, he
stopped at his favorite watering
place.
"Have a drink, fellows" he said
brokenly, "an' give me one, too!
Poor China has gone out on his
long run!"
