Jack London probably never heard of Eddie Deering of Brooklyn or "Darky Sam" of Coney Island, but they deserve to take rank with some of the heroes that London has made famous, for they did some extraordinary stunts in rescuing five men from the launch Sterling of Astoria, which got into serious trouble off the old iron pier just before sunset. Neither Eddie nor Sam could swim, but when they saw the launch drifting helplessly in the rough sea about a half mile off shore, and saw the occupants waving their arms and shoutIng for help, they did what heroes usualy do in such cases like that. They took a long chance and came out of the adventure soaked to the akin, but with flying colors.

Form of Court Oath May be Changed

f7f foe should ) CL V cF."5 cut itowtJ

IHE bill recently introduced by Senator Burton of Ohio, which proposes to change the form of oath in federal courts and elsewhere under the jurisdiction of the United States, la In the hands of the Judiciary committee of tbe senate and is now being considered with a view of early action upon the subject. The bill, or which Charles J. Bonaparte, the former attorney general of the United 8tates, and Dr. Ira Remsen, president Of Johns Hopkins university, are the sponsors, does not contemplate to change the religious character of the oath. Tbe principal change which it proposes Is the omission of the expression "So help me God" at the end of an oath and the substitution of gether with Miss Esther Halliday, Queen of colored prima donnas' and a large chorus of male and female voices. Another big feature with this organization is the celebrated colored Sousa Aleexander Wheeler, and his world famous Alexandria rag time band and orchestra. At the Murray. This week's bill at the Murray is well up to the high standard set by Manager Murray for this popular playDizziness, Constipation and other Stomach disorders. Some folks have tried so long to find relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia or au out-of-order stomach with the common, every -day cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the Stomsch or Cancer. This, no doubt, la a Berious mistake. Your real trouble Is, what you eat does not digest; instead, it ferments and sours, turns to acid. Gas and Stomach poison, which putrety in the digestive tract and Intestines, and, besides, poison the breath with nauseous odors. A hearty appetite, with thorough digestion and without the slightest discomfort or misery of the Stomach, is waiting for you as soon as you decide to try. Pape's Itfanepsia.

Next Week. to Save Fishermen nearly every pavilion from Balmer's to Steeplechase Park without success. Those who owned boats refused to lend them. They returned to the spot where the boat was plunging in the waves, and found an old flat-bottomed rowboat, half buried in the sand. With two boards as oars they paddled out to the Sterling. Two trips were made, and all hands, except Capt. Fisher, who declined to abandon his craft. were taken to tbe beach. Finally the police boat came to the scene and towad the Sterling to Astoria. Captain Fisher Lad taken out a fish lng party, including Charles Berkins and Julius Guse of Manhattan, Albert Peterson of Brooklyn and Louis Gron of the same place. The sixth man was George Edwards, who acted as engineer. As they were making for home the machinery broke down, the boat began to leak and the engine got frozen up so that it would not work. Deering said he was glad to have been able to help in the work of rescue, but he would not go through, the experience again for $1,000. "Not one o the blokes even said thank you," was his comment on she behavior 'of those who had been saved by himself and "Darky Sam." "promise" or "declare" for the word "swear" In tbe formula. Since the introduction of Senator Burton's bill the attention of the Judiciary committee has been called to tbe fact that several of tbe most progressive countries of Europe have materially changed and modernized tbe ancient and antiquated forms of the oaths used In judicial proceedings. No country as yet has gone quite so far as Switzerland. The cantons of Zurich and Aargau took the radical step of entirely abolishing the oath several years ago, and the result has been so satlstactory that there Is no desire to return to the old system. When the great coun. cil of the Canton of Vaud at Its last eession considered the draft of a new civil code, the abolition of the oath in any form from judicial proceedings was strongly urged, and, after an interesting debate, a provision abolishing tbe oath -was incorporated in the new code, which went Into effect on January 1 of this year. house.

FELL ON HIS PILLOW. Then Came a Joyous Time For the Skating Rink Patrons. When Mr. Homer Davenport was a boy roller skating reached Sllverton. In his book, "The Country Boy." he tells of his plan to learn without getting hurt, as he thought falling about the skating rink was no joke. He borrowed a pair of overalls of the stoutest man in tbe village and a long pillow from bis mother's bed and believed the game as good as won when he entered the door of the rink: I lowered the pillow into the sent of the overalls after I had put them on and then got a boy to hold tbe pillow up against my back while I put my vest over It, and I dived out into the thick of the skaters. To my astonishment, I didn't fall. I leaned back

THE PILLOW BUB5T. and tried to fall once to 6ee bow it would be, and I really couldn't. I'd been skating fifteen minutes when I did fall, but fell forward and slammed my bands on the floor. An elderly lady, who had had some troubles of her own that afternoon, skated up to me and told me she thought perhaps we went at it too fast. So we were leaning against the wall, talking over tbe scientific points of it when I gave the audience a rare treat. While leaning there, talking, all at once my feet, that were close together, started and rolled out toward the middle of the room. I don't think I bent a finger, but I fell exactly like a tree, and lo aud behold, the pillow burst. It must have been five minutes before they got through laughing nil over the house. In that time the feathers were so thick they followed in a boiling streak after every skater. The manager declared a recess of teu minutes while they swept out the hall, and at this point came another big laugh, as after three men had been sweeping twenty minutes they hadn't got over three feathers out into the street. Some fellow suggested sprinkling, so they did, but most of them were in the air and wouldn't come down to be sprinkled, so they had to close the rink for the afternoon. The manager of the rink tried to collect damages from my father, and I think there was a compromise made. Thought Ho Needed Them. Miss Amelia. Justin listened with breathless" attention to Mrs. Amasa Hunting's radiant account of tbe doings of James Hunting, her husband's younger brother, who had left Wo-brook-in-tbe-Hills in his youth and had become a milionaire. "Where is Jim this summer?" Miss Amelia inquired at tbe end of tbe recital. "He has gone abroad for baths," replied Mrs. Hunting. "I ain't one mite surprised to hear that," Miss Amelia said. "His mother never could make him wash his neck." A Generous Jury. A certain sergeant charged with killing a man was tried for murder. After the evidence was in and the speeches made the jury retired to deliberate. Presently word came that the jury had agreed and had framed a verdict. The judge ordered the jury into the courtroom and asked for the verdict. "We find," read the foreman, "that the defendant is guilty of murder and assess his punishment at ninety-nine years and life imprisonment." "Go back and write another verdict," ordered the Judge. Presently the jury returned with the verdict of life imprisonment. The sergeant shook hands with all tbe jurors. "He seems pleased," said a bystander to the bailiff. "Why is he shaking hands with the men who convicted him?" "Why," was the reply, "he is thanking them for taking ninety-nine years off his sentence." Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. An Irish Duel. The annals of the Emerald Isle bristle with incidents of dueling in which Irish humor, if not at all times Irish bravery, is conspicuous. On one ocraslon Sir Jonah Barrington fought a Suel with a barrister named McXally. Tbe latter had one leg1 shorter than the other and because it was his habit when in a hurry to take two thumping tens with tbe short leg to bring up tbe space made by the long one he was nicknamed "One Pound Two." McNally could get no one of his bar to fight him, so he challenged Barrington. who good naturedly exchanged shots In Phoenix park. The baronet hit his opponent in the braces, then called the "gallows,- and feared he had killed him. When the result was made known one of the seconds shouted, "Mac, you are the only rogue I ever knew who wan saved by the gallows." K3S)te .
