Primitive Customs in , Cornish Fishing Town A place where grown men play marbles with thé zest of schoolboys and where cats catch live’ fish among the rock pools when the tide is out.. Such a place does exist, and in the quaint old fishing town of St. Ives, in faraway Cornwall, these things may be seen. , In the cool of the evening, along the broad road bordering the sheltered harbor, numerous groups of hardy fishermen, with sea and sun-tanned complexions, play marbles for hours at & time, surrounded by many interested onlookers, remarks London Tit-Bits. Grizzled- old .mariners, many of whom preserve the old Cornish custom of wearing small gold earrings, pace the quavside in parties of three and foar, following the “walk four steps and turn” which is all they are able to 45 on the clear space -on’the decks of tlieir luggers. ; Tlhere s a lezend abeut the cats of Si. Ives,: but there was surely never arother fiohing toin with so many cyts. 'Tiach morning, when the night's c.rolox of wrackerel, dogfish and skate are. brouzl:t ashove, the . fish are cleaned on tables placed mnear the water's c:ve ani scores of cats have a glorious iced on the offal.-

Failures Caused by _ ~ Lack of Initiative One of the greatest improvements of the automobile is the self-starter, now found on all but the cheapest kinds of cars, which need to be cranked by hand. , The device suggests the refiection that a very darge proportion of the human family require something of like nature. - : They lack initiative, voluntary effort; they need cranking in the form of orders or directions before doing anything worth while. s ' The méen and women who succeed best in life and get the most out' of it are of the self-starter type. -They don’t wait to be told or advised what to undertake, but proceed of their own accord to do things. ‘ : The great inventors, such as Edison, are all of this sort, says the Sacramento Bee. They are originators, not mere followers or imitators, and they rank among the chief benefactors of the world, = : Se it is in business, literature, art, the?various industries, and. in fact, all oceupations, Suecess in each is depéndent chiefly upon originality or inftiative. i

The Unity of Nature

Nature can only be conceived as existing to a universal and not a parficular end; to a uhiverse of ends, and not to one—a work of ecstasy to be represented by a circular movement, as intention might be signified by a straight line of definite length. Each effect strengthens every other. There is no revolt in all the kingdonis from the common weal; no detachiment of an individual. Hence the catholic character which makes every leaf an exponent of the world. When we behold the landscape in a_ poétic spirit, we do not reckon individuals. Nature knows neither palm nor oak, but only vegetable life, which sprouts into forests and festoons the globe with a garland -of grasses and vines.— Emerson., - : ~

Unique British Island

Most of Britain’s islands have thelr story, which lis sometimes unique. The most striking instance, perhaps, is Sunk island, in the Humber—a little world that has the peculiar distinetion of being the youngest bit .of Britain. 2 It is, in peint of age, a mere bantling, having been formed in comparatively recent times of land carried away by the sea from the nértheast coast. ‘This land was swept down to Spurn head and then up the Humber, where it lodged and in time formed an island. The process is 'still going on, and as a result the island continues to grow. The public is enriched without knowing it; for this curious formation is the property of the Crown,

Rawlinson Was Peeved

A number of good stories center around General Lord Rawlinson, who for 40 years was connected with the British army in India. The gencral was brought prominently before the British public eye by being honie on furlough. - While he was in command of a eolumn during the South African war, Lord Rawlinson was constantly sending in demands for heliographs, with no result. At last when drawing near Kroonstadt, in. what was/ then the Orange River colony, he sighaled again to ask whether his-heliographs had arrived. Officialdom, however, was rampant, and wanted to know ‘“What do you want them for?’ Back went the reply with caustic brevity, “To fry kidneys on, of course!” z

WOMAN'S COURAGE ~ FOILS BANDITS

Grapples With Armed Robbers ~ Who Attenipt to Hold Up ‘ : Her Bank.

UNARMED, WINS LONG FIGHT

.One ‘Bandit Killed and Other . Wounded When Men Come to : Rescue—Story Told at Na- » tional Meeting of Bankers.

- When the wave of crime against 'banks, which has reached unprecgdented proportions, was under dis'cussion at the recent meeting of the American Bankers Association at Chi*;cago, a% defense measures were up for consfderation, the bankers were told how one resolute woman defend‘ed herself against two armed desperahoes in her little Western bank. The woman was Mrs. Mary Garlinghouse, cashier of the State Bank of Vers, Oklahoma, which she conducts singlehanded. Her own story, as she told it in a°report to the protective authorities of the Association, follows: - “While 1 was posting my ledger, ‘with my back to the door, I heard a ‘commotion. * When 1 turned around there were two men back of the counter, with handkerchiefs over their | daces. The larger made a jump for ‘my gun, before I realized what was happening. The robbers each had a igun pointed at me, and one said, ‘Lay down or I will shoot you!’ I said, ‘I will not lay down and you will not shoot me.” This conversation was repeated several times. I told them to fcut out their foolishness. " “A man who was in the corridor ‘when the bandits came laid down-on-the floor, face down. I tried to argue ‘'with the robbers and they began to \get rough, but something within me seemed to realize that they:were getiting confused. 1 kept thinking that Lsome oné would come in or see us. - “The larger man got busy with the money, while the smaller one took care of me. He jerked me to my jknees and hit me over the head.. This Yolted my glasses and I lifted my hand, ‘waving it in front of his face and itelling him to wait a minute. I took imy glasses off and put them on the. ‘table. Lifting my hand caused this man to look up and he saw we were .observed from across the street. Then he saw Constable Mosby, with his ‘igun,_ and said to the man who was gathering the money, ‘Don, we are geen, we ‘must make odur getaway!’ iHe then grabbed me rather roughly and said: ‘Come on here! You are coming along!’ : ¢ ‘' . Struggles With Robber .. “Here is where our struggle began. ‘All the time we fought over hisg gun, T did not try to take it away from ‘him, but kept moving it_from one side ito the other, and of course he was ‘determined to point it straight at me. T told him, ‘T will not go and I am not jafraid of you. You will not shoot me!’ “We fought to the back door of the jpank. When we, got there, he raised his arm to fire at Mosby. I grabbed 'him around the neck, and he fired beifore I could get his hand. lam positive ‘that this man was never hugged 'so tightly, nor ever will be, as I hug'ged him, realizing that I must fight ffor my life. The man tried his level ibest to kill me. What the .other man 'was doing I do not know. My man ‘was trying to pull me out the back idoor to their car, which was still run‘ming, I was determined he should not. “R. C. Lapsley, the mayor, or Ed. {Mosby shot the man in the arm. There ‘was a jerk and out the door we went. ‘Things were comir}’g my way now. 1 {pulled the robber into the weeds, half ‘on his back and half on his left side. ~ ‘“The robber finally said, ‘T will give ‘up.’ 1 said, ‘Give me your gun.’ He ,answered, ‘I will not; T know you will ;sl_i"oot me.” So the struggle kept on. ‘We got back on our feet. I meant to jhave his gun and would fight him until iI got it. We fought through the back room behind the counter. He begged /me not to take him, and I asked him :again for his gun and he said, ‘No, I ‘know you will shoot me.” We struggled through the front door and then Constable Mosby said. ‘Drop your gun ior I will shoot you.” The bandit gave up and the men took charge of him.

One Bandit Killed

“l wondered about the other bandit and started to look for him and found ‘him in the closet in the back of the bank dying. R. C. Lapsley told me afterwards that when the bandit and I lurched through the back door the larger man, with his gun in his right hand and the sack of money In his left, stepped up to the door. They both fired at once. The robber dropped his gun and the money, but they could not see what became of him, ~ “If all towns had as brave men as we have here, bank robbing would be a thing of the past. You can understand the remarkable marksmanship that was displayed, when I tell you that in our struggle at the back of the bank the men took several shots at the robber, but were very careful not to hit me. The robber got a shot in his right arm and a glancing shot in his left. ‘ “All during the shooting and fighting, I felt confident I would get the best of my man. I felt that the man would not shoot me, and like all Western women did not lose my nerve. Bank robbers, as a rule, are cowards and if one shows that he is not afraid of tl_er th;_r will lose their nerve.” -
