"S. O. S.'
It is just about a year ago since
the then untried and much doubted
"w.reless" proved its worth as a life
saver and the Republic's hundreds ot
passengers were saved from apparent-
ly certain death. Now fcT the sec-
ond time in history has the masrie
invention thrilled the hearts of the
world and been the cause of bring-
ing safely to land the crew of the ill-
fated Kentucky. The story of the
second rescue, like that of a year
ago, sends the blood leaping through
the veins of the reader and makes
one feel that this is a good time
in which to have lived. At 11:30
in the morning the ins;rumenta oi
the wireless station first picked out
of the seemingly empty air the s.g-
nal, "S. O. S.'f Almost instautl>
all over the ocean in the neighbor-
hood of that graveyard of ttoe ea.
Cape Hatteras, similar instruments on
battleship, revenue cutter and mer-
chant vessel snatched from the at-
mosphere the distress cry and the
location of the sinking Kentucky.
Simultaneously with the reception ft
the call the signal is given and ev-
ery one of the -ships wheels and
starts on the mad race tor rescue.
With the wireless apparatus flashing
and crackling the good news to the
endangered crew, the boats rush
swiftly toward the spot, and at 5
o'clock the same day the crew :a
safely on board another vessel and
a government boat is left to- watch
the sinking of the hulk or to destroy
the derelict. Forty-seven men. live,
broathmtr. happy men are on their
way to safety, and the hungry sea :s
balked of its feast of forty-seven
drowned., senseless, shapeless, life-
less things.
Dosn't that make you stop for
minute and thinkt Bo you remem-
ber when you read "Around the
World in E ghty Days," or "Twenty
Thousand leagues Under the Seal"
Those sensational novels of Jul
Verne were looked upon as the roman-
cing of a mind half insane at that
time. But in the light of the "S
O. S." the wonders of Jule
dreamed of has been surpassed by
the glad, glorious reality of the fact
that a man sitting at a table on
sinking ship may press a but on
touch a key and start every ship for
hundreds of miles on a mad race
with belching funnels and fore
draft through the night or through
the daylight stra glit to the sp
from whence the invisible message
came. The terroTS of the ocean have
been discounted and the lot of thost
who "go down to the sea in ships'
has again and this time more han
ever been safeguarded by the fled
driven m nd of man and his researc'ie
into th° mystery of science. You nn
innst of 'he wonderful inventions ol
the nmioMd turret, the torpedo b<>i'
and its des rover, and all the (.Un-
remarkable instruments of war an"
death, but the "8. O. 8." of tin
wireless is worth them all, for it ha
enabled man to rescue his fellow nn
*>nm the death of the sinking ship
Hats off to Marconi.
Max Morris, the head of the Clerks'
International Protective association,
deplored in his Denver office, apropos
of Labor day, the long hours of too
many clerks.
"Too much work," said Mr. Morris,
'is as harmful as too much play. Too
much of the finest and best things Is
harmful. You've heard of the spring
in the Vale of Avoca?
"Well, old Michael O'Houlahan was
walking In the Vale of Avoca one hot
afternoon and he came to a spring. It
was crystal pure. The sand It bubbled
out of was as white as snow. Rainbow
mists hung over It In the sunshine.
"Old Michael knelt down and took a
drink, and then, feeling remarkably re-
freshed, he turned homeward. Though
he dldn t know it, the spring in the
Vale of Avoca was the real Fountain
of Youth, and it had lifted 30 years
from his bent shoulders and he was an
out-stepping handsome lad again. So,
of course, when he got In the house
his wife dodn't know him. He looked
In the glass at himself, cut a caper,
and ihen he said:
" 'Shure, Kathleen, 'twas the blessed
spring 1 drunk from in the Vale of
Avoca. Glory be, it's made me young
again. Run, darllnt, run for yer life.
Ye can't miss It for the rainbow mists
that Joat above It. It'll take your fat
away, and yer lameness, and when ye
come back you'll be the Kathleen I
knowed back In the slventles.'
"So Kathleen ran. and Michael lit
his pipe and waited for her. But she
didn't come back. He waited and wait-
ed. Then, on towards dusk, he hurried
to the vale.
No Kathleen did he see anywhere,
but the wall of a babe's voice weep-
ing brought him through the dark to
the spring, and sitting there on the
grass was a little girl baby crying as
if her heart would break.
'What's happened ye, acushlaf
says Michael.
"'Don't ye know me?' says the
child, wringing her hands
'Faith I do not,' says Michael.
'Who are ye?'
" 'I'm yer wife,' sobs the baby.
"'My wife!' cries: Michael.
" 'Yes, says the baby. I'm afther
drlnkln too much o' the wather.'"

Where Me Drew the Line.
In a western Kentucky town Ben
Watson had saved the life of Myra
Underbill. Miss UnderhlU had been
overturned in a creek with a swift cur-
rent, and the act of young Watson
was a very heroic one. He had saved
the life of the girl after she was sink-
ing for the third time, and he had
barely strength to pull himself and the
young woman tc shallow water.
The news soon spread and Ben Wat-
son was hailed as the real, live hero
of the village.
Aunt Tabby Wilson, the oldest wom-
an in the village, mother of the little
colony, was loud in praise of the hero-
ism of the young man and at once de-
clared that Ben and Myra must get
married. "Ben saved Myra's life," she
said, "and now they must marry and
be happy ever afterward, just as they
do it In the story books."
But Ben demurred. The arrange-
ment did not suit him.
"Why not marry Myry, Ben?" said
the old lady. "She is yours, and we
must have a wedding.'
"She's a nice girl, all right," replied
Ben, but I don't think we oughter
marry. Seems to me," he went on, "I
have done enough for Myry."—Har-

A few minutes delay in treating
some case of croup, even the length
of time it takes to go for a doctor
often proves dangerous. The safest
way is to keep Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in the house, and at the first
indication of croup give the child a
dose. Pleasant to take and always
cures. Sold by all dealers.

Editor Examiner:
It may be a little late in the day
to congratulate you on tne bold and
unswerving stand you have taken in
regard to the evangelistic work of j reform movement that is now,
Dr. Bulgin and of civic righteousness.
We. unhesitatingly say, God bless you.
We 'have also good reasons to think
that every honest and upright man in
our city and out of it who has read
your paper is ready to stand by you,
first, last, and all the time. Yes, and
we will.
We are real sorry for the newspa-
per ot any citizen who is so blind to
the r own interests as to antagonize
dis'ort, traduce, and who are seem-
ingly trying to counteract the sro.wl
work that lias been flour «;i the last
three weeks by the Christian element
of the city and so ably championed
right, and a safe ;
people.'' It is a good thing for a
newspaper to be a help in all lines,
not merely advocate the making of a
swimming pool for the young and •*>
for: h. and at the same time use a
background for their pictures, slurs,
epithets and innuendos on tbe great
and
will, we trust, remain with our city.
In conclusion, we say, shame on any
man. woman or newspaper that stands
in the way of true reform. who are
in the way of so many yeong people
who have recently started for the bet-
ter land. Let's all help, encourage
and assist them to sing. "I'm on My
Way to Heaven." And so, Ood bless
the right and the Examiner.

"So Bernard Shaw is not coming to
America, eh? He says we are two
hundred years behind the times, so he
could learn nothing from us. Well,
well!"
The speaker, a dramatic critic of
Washington, laughed heartily.
"Shaw," he said, "is amazing. He
always does the original thing. 1 went
to see 'Caesar and Cleopatra' with blm
once, and as we stood in the aisle—
the house was crowded—a stranger be-
hind us persisted In poking his head
right over Shaw's shoulder
"Shaw then did the original thing
Tttklng out his handkerchief he wiped
j<h* man's nose, patting and twisting
it pretty vigorously.
"The man, with an ugly oath, jerked ^
back his head.
" 'Oh, I beg your pardon,' said Shaw
'1 thought It was mine, you know.'"
