The average person hitherto has considered that an ocean steamship before leaving the-docfcs, was sea-worthy and well equipped with necessary We boats in case of possible ship wreck. The idea of a leaky boat, loaded with pasengers. carrying only rottlen life boats, emnarking on- an ocean voyage augurs poorly for a safe ocean top This recent tragedy of the jsea with its appalling loss of life, was as unnecessary as it was sad. The recent death of George McCutcheon. famous novelist, and author at the widely read "Tales pf Graustark" and other stories, brings to mind many amusing incidents in regard to "Graustark," that mythical country in the Balkans, around which, he 1 wove so many fascinator stories of love and intrigue.

Most anyone with common sense Could plainly see, of Course, The trouble was the lad had put The cart before the horse.

And so it is with many things, If we could only see: always putting this or that Where something else should be.
