Stand by the Ofllcers
This spriug Norfolk is experiencing
its usual difficulty in finding good
capnblo men willing to mako the sacri
fice of accepting a city office and that
there are such men yet to be found should
be cause for congratulation on the part
of the people Eaoh yenr it is becom
ing more apparent that a number of
city offices aro for from being desirable
positions in which to place a man and
one term 1b sufficient to satisfy or rather
one term is all that can be urged on
one man
This is an undesirable condition of
affairs and one for which tho people nre
largely responsible It is the result of
expecting too much work from an offi
cer whose monetary remuneration is
practically nothing and tho honors of
the office scarcely more all this backed
by acrimonious constant and often un
just criticisms The officers most at
tacked are strangely enough the ones
receiving the least pay The mayor
the polioe judge members of the council
and members of the board of education
are the targets for these critics
In most instances where the actions
of an officer are criticised it is done
because all the circumstances are not
fully understood and comes from a
misunderstanding which becomes more
perverted the moro times it is repeated
Broadly stated it is the duty of every
business man to serve at least one term
either as mayor councilman or member
of the school board and yet few do it
When they will not serve themselves
then they should stand by thoso who do
serve giving them credit for being
honest in their actions and disposing of
evonts to the best of thoir judgment as
the conditions are presented to them
If this wholesale criticism is not
stopped Norfolk will seo the time when
competent officials cannot be secured
and her officers will in fact be the
theme for just criticism and objects of
reproach to the city
It is time the practice should be dis
couraged and when tho majority of
voters select an official that majority
as well as tho minority should acquiesce
iu the choice and uphold his actions at
has not satisfactorily performed his
duties a change may be made

A LONG SIEGE
Tlifct of Glbrnltnr Brcnks the Record
of Modern Time
Although by no means the most terri
ble the last siege of Gibraltar when
the Hock was held by a British garrison
under General Elliot against the com
bined efforts of the Spaniards nnd
French from July 5 1779 to Nov 20
17S1 holds the record as the longest
important siege of modern times The
fact that every now and again the gar
rison were able to add to their pro
visions by successful sorties kept them
from succumbing to hunger but
scurvy claimed nearly 1000 victims
For weeks together over G000 shells
were thrown Into the town daily A
curious point about this siege Is that
the governor of Gibraltar after having
done everything he could think of to
strengthen the fortifications issued a
proclamation calling on any of the gar
rison who had any schemes to propose
to call on him with them as he did not
wish the Rock to fall when by listening
but a few minutes to a private Individ

lingered for several days on bis death
bed His parents were summoned by
telegraph and besought him on their
knees to disclose the name of his an
tagonist but he steadfastly refused
and died with the secret In his breast
The students not only excused his
conduct but praised his courage and
when his remains were taken to tho
railway station to be transported to a
distant city they accompanied the fu
neral cortege with torches and music
The students claimed he was not a sui
cide for he was killed In nn honorable
duel and they maintained that his op

HOW YOU SPEND YOUR LIFE
The Time Kiiicndnl on nn Arerase
In the Dnlly Itoutlnc
An ordinary man would laugh away
ns prei osterous the suggestion thnt he
was likely to spend 20 jenrs of his llfo
In sleep But thnt Is because he doe
not conduct his llfo according to a
schedule nnd tenlly has no Iden of how
he does spend It As n matter of fact
most men over CO years old have al
ready spent more than 20 yenrs In bed
which Is only one of the surprises In
store for the man who sets himself to
work to discover how those 24 hours
thnt dnlly hllp by so mysteriously are
disposed of
By a palnstnklng study of nvernges a
skilled statistician hns recently arrived
nt tho conclusion expressed In the fol
lowing figures They apply to the
avernge American mnn of W yenrs of
age They do not accurately represent
his life today because his years of In
fancy nnd childhood nro Included in
the computation They will apply nei
ther to the man of leisure nor to the
Inborlng mnn But perhaps the aver
age mnn who both works nnd plnyB -will
recognize himself In them
Twenty years In sleep
Three yenrs nine months In eating
and wnltlng for the wnlter
Seventeen years six months In work
ing
Seven yenrs six months In pursuit of
pleasure
Six yenrs three months In wnlklng
and other exercise
Two yenrs six months In making
ones toilet
Two years six months doing abso
lutely nothing
The Item of toilet mny be subdivided
into seven months for shnvlng 11
months for washing one yenr for
dressing Most men wnlk nbout three
yenrs nnd six mouths nnd spend two
years and nine months In other cxer
clses
The little table becomes more Intel
ligible If less comprehensive when it
is reduced to n settle of days lu which
case It stands ns follows
Eight hours sleeping
One hour 30 minutes eating
Seven hours working
Three hours amusement
Two hours 30 minutes exercise
4
One hour toilet
One hour doing nothing
The avernge mnn If confronted with
this will doubtless claim that he does
not spend eight hours In sleep You
mny retort by telling him that It Is
doubtful whether ho spends seven nt
work but In his youth he slept more
and worked less nnd all this Is taken
Into account In estimating averages
An elaboration in any direction of
the statistics given nbove is interest
ing For Instance It has been com
puted that In n single year a man may
speak 11800000 words aud give 1200
handshakes The total energy dis
pensed In this fashion alone during 50
years would be sufficient to raise 2500
tons
Then again one may open nnd shut
the eyes 95000000 times during a sin
gle year The force thus expended
yearly through 00 years would be If
accumulated sufficient to lift a cable

Ills only companion lu tho ascent was

most nt others the reverse
It wns nt this juncture that the dogs
sagacity came in As soon as Mr
Mncdougall began to slide it caught
his coat with its teeth and greatly im

dog ultimately guided him to a place
of safety after the twain had slid
down on the snow for nearly 1000 feet
Strange to say neither observer nor
