"ABSENT, HI X ACCOl MEW FOB."
Here is a pretty tribute to a well-beloved Confederal by the Confed-
erate Veteran, the publication devoted to the interests of the United Con-
federate Veterans:
The story is told that In a fierce engagement on the high seas an
admiral, lashed to the mast, was directing the movements of his fleet
when he was killed by a cannon ball of the enemy His government
decreed that thereafter In every roll call of the navy his name should be
called and the response given, 'Absent, but accounted for.
•So. when the veterans assembled in Jacksonville ihere will be one
missing who never before failed to meet with them. When the name of
S. A. Cunningham, the late editor of the Confederate Veteran, is called,
the response of his comrades will be:
" 'Absent, but accounted for.' "
CHANGING GARMENTS.
Verily, the republican press of this state makes too many changes
of garments. Time was when the old guard papers looked upon a radical
as an anarchist and so considered him, no matter what sort of argument
was put forth to convince to the contrary. Now it is different. There lias
come a change over the think tank of theaverage republican editor, and
it is manifested in recent utterances. In the current issue of the Enid
Kvents, the republican standpat paper owned and edited by Everett
Purcell, there Is an endorsement of the internal and foreign policies of
the William Randolph Hearst papers, something far out of the ordinary
and something hard to understand. In the olden dayB, Mr. Hearst was
depicted as the one man a solid citizenship was to leave alone; in fact,
there was a time when newspapers of the Events type considered Mr.
Hearst a real democrat and treated him as such.
Since Hearst has Incorporated himself a party, bought land in Mexico
and announced himself opposed to whatsoever President Wilson endorses,
papers like the Events hasten to make Hearst a great man and quote
copiously from the Insanity columns of his newspapers
Mr. Hearst has been getting a trifle more energetic of late. In event
of being able to make the United States government take Mexico, he would
have some concessions which cost no more than the promise of publicity
made worth Bome millions of dollars, and Hearst Is not a man to over-
look a pecuniary advantage. Naturally the standpat republican news-
papers of Oklahoma are opposed to Hearst and whatsoever he advocates,
but If support of him might bring a flash of hope for the old regime, why,
folks, they will support Hearst, or worst—If there can be found anything
worse.—Tulsa Democrat.

EXPOSING -WET" METHODS.
The "Intimidation" charge against brewers by the anti-saloon cam-
paigners, in connection with the proposed national prohibition bill new
before congress, originated In Chicago, where letters from the "wetB"
fell Into the hands of the anti-saloon forces. In connection with requests
made to all business houses dealing with "wet IndusirleB," that members
of congress be deluged with letters of protest against this "dry" proposal,
the especial request was made that copies of the protest be sent in as
evidence that the protest had been sent. One of the breweries sent out
this significant appeal:
"Within the paBt month or two, great efforts have been made through
various channels to arouse the Interest of members of congress against
the passage and it. oiumendatlon of tho national prohibition propositions,
and in order to make these appeals all the stronger and more effective,
it has been suggested that letters, addressed to the members of congress
by their constituents will go very far toward accomplishing the desired
results. Our request therefore is that you write a Btrong letter to mem-
bers of congress of your district, and alBo to the two senators from your
state, appealing to them most earnestly to oppose the Hobson-Works-Shep-
pard resolutions and to do everything in their power to bring about their
defeat, and, furthermore, prevail upon your friends and acquaintances
that they do likewise. As there is danger in delay, the good work should
start at once. Will you be good enough to acknowledge receipt of this
letter, and If not inconsistent, enclose copy of the letter written by you to
the senators and congressmen?"

Death in ocean disaaters promises
to be robbed of much of its likelihood
if a life Jacket invested by G M. Boddy,
g British experimenter in life-saving
devices, proves Its reputed merits.
With the Boddy vest the wearer can't
drown if he wishes It Is automatic
in every feature and, unlike the con-
ventional life belt. It doesn't hinder
the tree movement of the body.
The Boddy Jacket, says the New
York Press, is In the nature of a huge
breast pad, resembling somewhat the
cheet protector worn by the baseball
umpire. It is freely inflated with a
fiber imrervicras to water, and despite j
its thickness, is quickly attached It
occupies half the space of the life J
belt now In use.
disposition of tie air pade In
the Jacket gives the body a face-up- j
ward position In the water. A cush- ^
Ion on the back. Just below the shoul-
ders, keeps the wearer's head above
sea, no matter how high the ocean Is
running. While gigantlo waves may
submerge the wearer for an instant,
the head bobs high out of the water
an instant later.
The buoyancy of the Jacket permits
the wearer to remain afloat for three
or four days. The question of eus
tained life becomes one merely of
j physical endurance against cold or
hunger.
The appalling loss of life In recent
marine disasters and the subsequent
investigations by the British board of
I trade have called attention to the
Boddy Jacket and, moreover, have In-
spired Inventors of life-saving ap-
pliance® to strive their utmost. Tho
allurements of huge rewards for near
perfect apparatus have produced many
Inventions, several of which have been
adopted by steamship companies un
der indorsement of marine boards.
The Boddy Jacket 1b adapted to be
worn by a child as well as by an adult.
Strapped to a child the infant may be
thrown overboard with almost certain
impunity. The little one, when cast
over, is bound to turn up on its back.
"Until a few years ago the trip from
Damascus to the Moslem holy city of
Medina was a Journey of 85 to 40 days'
duration. With the construction of
the Hedjaz railway the Journey from
Haifa or Damascus to Medina has
been reduced to 58 hoars, writes
Consul Edelman at Jerusalem. "As
It is enjoined upon Moslem pilgrims
to visit at least once In their ltv«e the
cities of Medina and Mecca, the route
now in use Is the Hedjaz line to Me-
dina, return the same way, then em-
bark at Haifa or Beirut for Jedda on
the fted sea, the nearest port to
Mecca. The administration of the
pedjai railway has entered Into a con-
tract wltfe '.be Khedlval mall line
steamers to have ships Iff Waiting at
Beirut and Haifa for the trains from
Medina. Immediate embarkation is
' possible and pilgrims lose no time in
j their Journey.
"It 1b the ambition of the Ottoman
government to extend the Hedjaz rail-
way to Mecca, thus enUrely eliminat-
ing the Bea route. At present the dis-
tance from Medina to Mecca is 12
days by camel through an arid desert,
and pilgrims, as a rule, prefer to re-
turn north and reach Mecca by the
sea route. Until last year only first
and third class cars were in use, but
lately second-class cars have been in-
troduced and commodious Bleeping
cars have been added for the benefit
of first-class passengers. For this ac-
commodation an additional charge of
$4.40 Is added to the price of the first-
class tickets.
"Fresh water is carried on all cars.
Trains make five stops dally for a
sufficient length of time to enable
Moslems to make their required de-
votions. Non-Moslems are allowed to
travel only a part of the way; en-
trance to Medina and Mecca to non-
MoslemB being rigidly prohibited."

Inherited Character.
It has been explained that character
and behavior of all organic matter,
plants as well as animals and human
beings. Is determined by what are
known as character units. Thus in
taking a hypothetical case of the
shrewd, cruel father and the shiftlesB
kind mother, we have four distinct
character units, which through inheri-
tance reappear variously grcuped In
ihe offspring.

TO MAKE CRIMINALS OF USE
Suggestion Not Likely to Be Adopted
But Really Seems to Be Worth
Consideration.
That condemned murderers should
have the opportunity of submitting
themselves to vivisection and thus se-
cure a "chance to work out their sal-
vation," Instead of being hanged, was
the startling suggestion made by the
mayor of Bath. England. Dr. Preston
King, at a meeting of the local, anti-
vlvlsectlonlsts.
He suggested that, while the nation
kept capital punishment in its code
of laws, and thought It right for so-
ciety at large that a criminal who had
committed murder should be hanged,
they should give the condemned man
the option of subjecting himself to
some simple kind, not the grosser
kind, of vivisection—such, for In-
stance. as feeding on tuberculosis milk
or Injection of germs of various kinds*
such as those of sleeping sickness.
Diseases like sleeping sickness
could be studied better in the human
being than in the anitnal. Those were
the things he would subject the con-
demned criminal to If he were will-
ing to be so subjected, his life being
already forfeited to the state for the
crime he had done
By bo doing, a man who had taken
one human life might have a chance
of saving many lives, and of thus
working out his own salvation lr. this
world.
He Was Content.
Two men who went to a hunting
camp together soon found that neither
possessed any skill In cooking. After
two days of continuous complaining
about the food, they made the agree-
ment that the first man who grumbled
should pay $10 to his companion. At
breakfast the following morning one
of the campers began upon some flap-
Jacks made by the other member of
the party. "These are about the
toughest imitations of the real thing
I ever ran against," he observed,
sourly, but as he saw his companion's
face light up at tho prospect of ob-
1 taining the forfeit, be quickly added:
i "But that's the way I like 'em."
3REATHE THE STRAINED AIR
Modern School Buildings Are
Equipped With the Most Up-to-
Date Ventilating Appliances.
If the modern school buildings in
Philadelphia are not up-to-date in the
matter of lighting and ventilation it is
not because they are not built accord-
ing to the very latest thought on
these subjects. However, Dr. John B.
Todd of Syracuse, N. Y., has found
even in model schoolrooms, equipped
with very complete ventilating de-
vices, in winter time particularly, that
the air is dusty, dry, by no means
germ free and even fetid, having a
characteristic schoolroom odor and
causing many illnesses.
To remedy this he has devised a
very simple scheme of straining the
air by means of screens of unbleached
cotton, which frames, and consequent-
ly with the ordinary ventilation
checked schoolrooms, with their win-
dows practically open, he has found,
can be kept at a temperature of 70,
with zero weather outside, with the
air having the humidity of outdoors,
but strained and pure and stimulating.
The teachers declare all stuffiness
is gone; that there is no odor, no
coughing and no schoolroom headache.
In one room Dr. Todd had fifty square
feet of opening—the pupils were prac-
tically "out of doors"—and it all
worked like a charm. Since Dr. Todd's
system can be used in the spring and
autumn as well as the winter, and
costs practically nothing, it would
seem to be an ideal way of solving
this vexed question of schoolhouse
ventilation.

8ir Frederick Bridge, famous Brit-
lsh organist, once told a story of a mu-
! sical party he attended where they
had an automatic piano.
"I could not make out the music
at all." he said "It sounded very ab-
struse, and I felt that I was not edu-
cated up to it Sometimes 1 seemed
to recognUe it. I whispered to one of
the ladles: 'What is ItT
"The answer was: 'Bach's Fugue In
D minor.'
1 "I discovered afterward that the per
forated paper had been put in upside
down, and the Fugue was being played
backward."
Cause for Congratulation.
A Polish couple came before a jus-
tice of the peace to be married. The
young man handed him the marriage
license and the pair stood up before
him.
"Join hands," said the justice.
They did so and the justice looked
at the document, which authorized
him to unite in matrimony Zachare-
wice Perzynski and Leokowards Jeu-
linskl.
"Ahem." he said. "Zacha-h'm-ski,
do you take this woman," etc.
"Yes, sir," responded the young
man.
"Leo-h'm-h'm-ski, do you take thie
man to be," etc.
"Yes, sir," replied the woman.
"Then I pronounce you man and
wife," said the Justice, glad to find
something he could pronounce, "and
I heartily congratulate you both on
having reduced those two names to
one."

Ship Astray.
That must have been a dazed and
much-aggrieved skipper who brought
his windjammer, King Alfred, into
Charlestown, Mass., Saturday, with
nitrates from Peru which should have
gone to Charleston, 9. C. This shows
the value of geography. The blame
seems to lie with the shipping clerk
who wrote Charlestown, U. S. A. Dut
one of our navy vessels only last year
had a similar mlx-up and came near
making Tampico. Mexico, instead of
calling at the Florida port of the same

the executor to erect statues of her-
