W hen you have a horse that you can recommend as being “family broke" these days he must have the admirable qualities of experience along with those other qualities called "torse sense." A man once told the writer an an erdote about a gentleman who bor rowed a gentle horse to ride in a street parade with blazing barn tires at- a sequel This horse and rider en Jojed all the features of the festive occasion and the horse was so immune to terror of city tights that, according to the narrator, he actually walked right through the dying embers of a fre but turning a corner suddenly he encountered a piece of paper wafted along by the breeze and when his rider recovered consciousness he was ir the ward of t. hospital a mass of bruises Later on, when fully recovered, be upbraided the owner for giving him s :eh an animal and the latter replied .r. a surprised manner: “Why.

Oup of he youngest officials of the Wilson administration is at the head of the oldest scientific depart ment of the government, and his ap pointment was not the result of luck, accident or political influence, but the recognition of remarkable qualifica tions which fitted him for the posi -tion. It was on the fifteenth of April, the day following his thirty-ninth birthday, that Dr. E. Lester Jones be came superintendent of the coast and geodetic survey, the service which, according to Secretary Redfield, "deaL: first with humanity and second with commerce." Perhaps no one In the survey, no matter how long he has been in the service, has spent more of his life m the open than has Doctor Jones. Indeed. It would seem, that by en vironment. training, education and temperament, he had been qualifying for the suoerintendency of the coast and geodetic survey all his life. He was born in Orange. N. J.. and as a small boy was the companion of his father, himself a scientist and a student of nature. Doctor Jones was educated at Princeton and Heidelberg; in Germany he hunted, fished and studied in the Black forest and specialized in zoology. For five years he was connected with the New Jersey fish and game com mission. and his first service in the national government was as deputy com- ! missioner of the bureau of fisheries. It was while he was deputy commis sioner that he was sent to Alaska to investigate the seal and fish industries, and the report he submitted was not only proof of his tireless, unflagging energy as a workman, but what Secretary Redfield pronounced 'a remarkable document.” I BRUCE ISMAY, RECLUSE There Is one man In the British isles, at least, to whom the memories of the Titanic disaster are a dread and ever present reality. That man is Bruce lsmay He was managing director of the White Star line at the time of the Titan.c disaster, and was atnong those saved when the liner Bank. He has voluniarily withdraw him self into almost complete seclusion He is a tragic figure whom care and premature age have marked for their own. A great pan of the year he passes oftentimes alone. In Costelloe, one of the most remote, most unfre quented and desolate spots on the west coast of Ire and. Here his sole employment is fishing for days and weeks on end. occasionally with a friend, or perhaps two. but for the greater pan of his time accompanied only by his servant. Ismay is very popular among the cottagers around. He found them - rapainenc ann .nenaiy, ana he has given them employment in many ways In connection with the fishing and his lodge In fact, whatever drove Bruce "'may to this remote. Inhospitable shore, it was a blessing in disguise to those poor people, and they appreciate his presence very keenly. They don't care whether or not his escape from the Titanic aroused a storm of criticism; for that matter they take no stock in the Titanic story anywav Ismav has been a good and considerate employer, which Is all that matters, as far as they are concerned. [ WORKING HIS WAY~UP At the 1915 commencement exer cises or Columbia university Ensign Louis Randolph Ford. U. S.

As a barefooted lad in Texas, where he was born thirty-two years ago. Louis Ford made up his mind to enter the navy, but his parents were not able to send him to college and the influence to obtain an appointment to the naval academy was lacking. So at the age of fourteen Louis went to work on a Sabine river tugboat, and three years later became an appren tice in a machine shop. In two years more he was a full-fledged machinist and enlisted as such in the navy Starting in at Mare Island, he worked his wa\ steadily up to the rank of cuiei ma* nimst. ana in isi_ ne toos tne examination tor an ensigns commis sion. passing with the highest marks ever made by a warrant officer.

KENT TELLS A NOME STORY Representative Wiliiam Kent of California has many quaint tales of the north country. One of them deals with the early days in the Nome re gion. when gold was plentiful and everything else was decidedly scarce One of the residents, the story runs, wandered into a rough, ready-made saloon and beheld four bewhiskered. rough-looking individuals. They were deeply dejected. They sat far back in their chairs, hands in pockets. Occasionally one of them sighed or swore. In front of them were stacks of chips representing several thousand dollars in gold. "What’s the matter?" asked the visitor. “This here poker game is busted up!” was the reply. "Busted up?” repeated the visitor, in astonishment "Why. you’ve got enough money there to play for a week!” "Yen. stranger." agreed the be whiskered man. moodily, we jot that, but somebody s lost all tbe aces and two jacks in the deck!” and resumed his stare at the useless chips.

We can hardly realise that of ail the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year ; tkrrtr-eeven percent., or more than one third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen l We do not hesitate to say that a time’.v use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic "preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria d-e rates exactly the reverse, but yon must see that it bears the signature of Chas. ZL Fletcher. Castoria causes the hloixi to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever Genuine Castoria always bears the signature ef A Fellow Feeling.
