Fred Hoffman went to Winchester this afternoon to look after business relative to the new building which he is constructing. Mrs. I. Inlier arrived in the city for a visit with her son, Harry- Imler.

NOVEL VACATION PLAN METHODICAL, HARD WORKING MAN EXPLAINS SCHEME. When Business Is Slack in August, He Ignores His Daily Routine and "Sleeps Over," Feeling Free and Happy. “Well,” said a man who works for a living and keeps It up fifty-two weeks in the year, “my vacation s over. Now I'm ready to dig in again.” "Where did you go this year?” his friend asked him. “Where did 1 go?’ echoed the digner, “where I always go—nowhere. I never go anywhere. I take my vacation right here, sleeping over. “I’m a man of system, method. I wouldn’t call myself a mechanical person, but I certainly am systematic, methodical, and 1 should be uncomfortable any other way. “For instance I get up every morning at twenty minutes past six. That gives me exactly the time I require to get through everything and get my breakfast and get to the office on time comfortably, and month after month 1 keep to that always at the same hour, but every year there comes a time when I deliberately get reckless and sleep over a few mornings, and that’s my vacation. "That time comes in the month of August when business is at a low ebb; slack water and nothing doing at all; when we might just as well close the office as far as that goes; and when that time comes I start on my vacation. “Some morning Instead of getting up at 6:20 I just lie there till, maybe, a quarter of 7, and then get up and don’t hurry; just let the schedule, the whole business, go to blazes and take life easy and eat my breakfast and saunter down to the office, taking my time to get there. For a few more mornings I get up that way or latei and I find nothing happens, and then for two or three mornings finally 1 indulge in the wild dissipation of lying abed till half past 7 o'clock. “And I find this does me a world ot good. It braces me up wonderfully and makes me smile and laugh. It’a a change from my regular routine, and change is what we want. It isn't good for any of us to stick endlessly to the same dull routine, and this change that I make every year like that in my getting up hours breaks the ten sion, gives me a sense of liberty and makes me free and happy. "Then on one of these fine mornings when I’m doing what I please 1 find in the office when I get there a little change In the atmosphere, things have begun to stir a little, business is starting up and that means the vacation season is over; and next morn Ing I set my mental alarm clock sot 6:20 a. m., and wake up on the dot. refreshed and strong, feeling fit as a fiddle and -oil ready to dig-in.”

Taken at His Word. It was 8:30, and the theater was crowded. “What have you left?” a prosperous purchaser inquired of the treasurer. “How many, sir?” the treasurei asked. “Two.” “1 have two left in the twelfth row.” the treasurer said, taking the tickets from the rack. "They’re the last two seats I have in the house.” “How much?” the other asked cau tiously. “Two dollars,” was the reply. “Two dollars,” the patron repeated “1 can’t stand for that" “Well, will you stand for a dollar?'. 1 the ticket dispenser inquired. “Gladly,” the other cried, scenting a bargain, and laying a dollar on ths ledge. The treasurer replaced the two tick ets in his rack and handed out others, after placing the bill In his cash drawer. “There they are, sir,” he said "First door to your right.” The man hurried Inside and "stood’ for a dollar The wily treasurer, tak Ing him at his word, had sold him twe admission tickets—Lippincott’s Maga sine. Unanimous Choice. During a local election In a German town only one man appeared at the nomination de'sk. “Whom do you nominate?” inquired the official. “Myself.” was the answer. “Do yon accept the nomination?” "Well, no.” “Then we must try again. Whom de yon nominate?” ' “Myself.” “You accept the nomination?” "No.” A subdued “Donnerwetter!” escaped the lips of the perplexed official, but ht went on: “For the third time, whom do yot nominate?” “Myself,” came the invariable reply “Do you accept the nomination?” The man rose with a smile of’satis faction spreading over his face as h< answered proudly: "Having been three times sollcltec by my fellow citizens to accept th< nomination, I can no longer decline t< accede to their wishes.” Inadequate Protection. 'Yes,” replied the old timer; “we'vt got a pretty good lot o’ game laws But they ain’t complete.” Ij^ onie things are still unprotected I should say so. What we want li a law that’ll keep the bears in tbes, mountains from cornin’ out an’ scarla inquisitive strangers to death.”

terrible toll of the sea steam Ve.ael. Totally Lo.t in 1908 Numbered 986-Flfty Ships Missing That Year. Careful French statisticians compile each year for the "Bureau Veritas" a record of the accidents and losses suffered for a twelve-month by the_ merchant marine of all nations hum which data aro obtainable, says a writer in Harper's Magazine. The yearly summary put forth by the “Bureau Veri tas” is counted authoritative by all maritime men —owners, agents, underwriters. Few who 101 lin the palm gardens or loiter on the roadways ot the swift cities of ease that cross the Atlantic know the "Bureau Veritas," its record of the tolls gathered by that complacent sea down —far down —below the rails. Nine hundred and eighty-six vessels of the world's merchant marinesteam and sail—totally lost in the year 1908, says these careful French statisticians; and this tally recognizes only steam vessels of over 100 tons’ burden. Such the record of complete destruction, and the following the count of damage not irreparable: 4,272 steamers Injured by fire, collision, stranding, stress of weather, and other causes. The destruction varies from year to year; in 1907 there were 1,104 total losses among merchant ships; in 1905 1,038 steamships and sailing vessels were gripped by the sea. No count is kept of the men who go down in the ships that are lost. The statisticians deal only with commercial values. No bureau in the world finds profit or incentive in keeping count of the thousands of sea-workere who are claimed as toll by the sea we reckon tamed. Only this Is taken in count; that every day in the yeai somewhere on the restless wastes ot the seven seas two —in some years three —ships are snatched In greed by the power that tolerates the many So the average has it. The sea takes most of its tithe by stealth. A bandage of fog about the navigator’s eyes, a racing current moving unseen beneath the masked innocence of flat water, a knife-edge reef, or sand that yields until a keel is fairly trapped—then destruction Not quite 400 of the 986 vessels lost in the year 1908 were wrecked through stranding; 158 of these were steamships, superior as they were over the barks and schooners subject to ths whims of the wind. Collisions sent ninety crafts to the botttom. Fire de stroyed thirty eight. Ninety three filled and foundered. Under the head "missing,” which means that not even care ful French statisticians can divine the secrets of the deep, fifty ships were registered in the 1908 record of dis aster.

Consumption In Ireland. One of the most interesting facts brought out in the report of the registrar general for Ireland, just issued as a blue book, is the maintenance of the decrease in the mortality frem tuberculosis, which has now been continuous since 1908. The death rate from this disease fell from 2.7 per 1,000 in 1907 to 2.6 in 1908; In the following year the rate declined to 2.4 per 1,000, and in the year under review to 2.3 per 1,000. Ail who are taking part in the campaign against tuberculosis, says the registrar general, are to he congratulated on the results of their exertions. Special mention must be again made of ths I Womens National Health association, founded and presided over by the i Countess of Aberdeen. The simple health principles propaganda of this association have tended toward this | result. Special attention should also be given to tfc excallent work done j by the medical officers of health, who have exceptional opportunities of uu--1 demanding the home life and needs j of the poorer classes. The county, urban and rural district councils are working in various ways for the bet terment of the public health of the country, notably in the provision of Improved dwellings for the people — Dundee Advertiser.
