AS the cost is always 100 per cent,
he sells the first horse for Is per
cent more, or 1875 per cent.
If $3.50 Is 1875 per cent, l percent
is $3.50 divided by 1876, or So: and
100 per cent, or the cost, is 100 times
81, or 5000, the cost Of the first
horse.
Since the cost of the second horse
was 100 per cent and he lost rs
per cent, he would sell this horse for
rs per cent.
II $3.50 is rs per cent, per cent
is $3.50 divided by rs or $3.50; and
100 per cent. or the cost OF this
horse, is 100 times $3.50, or
$333,33, the cost Of tn second
horse.
Thus the two horses cost 5000
plus $33S.33, or $533.33. AS he
sold them for $3.50 each, or $500, he
lost 1888.

Wooden ships and iron men. After twenty-two
 minutes of fighting, the British ship Penguin had fallen
 prey to the marksmanshp of the sailors and marines on the American warship Hornet, during one of the
 final set actions of the War of 1872 The two ships met in March, 1815 and the indomitable spirit of the Amer cans again carried them through to victory while the proud Penguin forced to lower her colors During the action Private Michael Smith, of the U S. Marines
 veteran of many other battles had fought bravely When the victory almost won he was shot through the upper part of the thigh fracturng the bone Almost at the same moment shattered boom from the Hornet struck him in the wounded leg and broke the same bone this time immediately above the knee. In great pain from his wounds and unable to rise from the deck the brave soldier had no intention of quitting the fight
 His enemies in the fighting top of the Penguin were still visible and Smith tried desperately to raise himself to
 position from which he would be able to discharge his mIsket at them. In vain he tried to muster enough strength to raise himself into firing position. His shat tered leg and hip would not allow him to carry on the fight Finally his comrades were compelled to carry him below decks Few have exhibited a more tenacious courage Yet the story of his valor has faded into the twilight of forgotten incidents which happened during the days of wooden ships and iron men, Log of the U. s.

"Old Stuff" Cry of Mayor Dictat- ing Appointments in Fire Depart ment Heard in
 Sandland's
 Tim e.

The changes made in the fire department at Wednesdays meet ing of the board of fire commits sioners rate as sweeping" but they cannot compare with those made during the administration of the late Mayor William B. Sandland, the city's last Republ- can mayor.
 The new privates, 27 in num- Der, named this week were the first new firemen appointed since Mayor Frank Hayes took office eight years ago. During Mayor Sandland's four years as head of the city government, there were 9l new firemen appointed.
 The fire board Wednesday voted 13 promotions. Promotions during the Sandland administra- tion numbered many more than that.
 After a number of new fire men were named Jan. IS, 1919, Commissioner Thomas McGrath, Democratic member of the board of safety, threatened to resign. He declared that the appoint ments had been dictated by the mayor, and were net even known by the board members prior to to the meeting.
 During the Sandland admins tration, there were 12 new fire men appointed in 1918. The next year there were 43 appointments, in 1920 there were 31, and then in 1921 there were five. In addi- ton, there were many promotions.
 Addition of 27 new privates, as of May l, will enable the assign ment of men to engine companies that are now undermanned. There is litle question but that additions to ranks of firemen were necessary at this time

tain that any attempt to put ashore a landing force would make the Australian landing at Gallipoli look like tea party.
 Secret and well-protected ma- chine-gun nests and gun emplace- ments, safe from air bombing, make the prospects of landing very unpleasant. Nine landing boats were wrecked and number of men hurt in merely trying it out in maneuvers this year.
