UNNECESSARY HEROISM. & Connecticut Man' Rxperlenec IVIth Bnlmtltnte Ratlitnb. One of thn rncut ridiunluu Bllnittlotin which at tM liiiio lirltiR thn rulilest livpftt ont on a man's brow and evet after rrmain with him a a coiiHtant lonrce of mirth occur red to a Hholtou worchnnt. He thought ho would take a pnth. and aa hi flat i minnt one of the thief reqnlnitea for the job a bathtub he extern policed one ont of a "ninll wahtub and enjoyed a cooling ablu tion. He had Jnet concluded and stepped from the tnb for the towel, when iud denly the top hoop of the tnb bunt with a aharp report, and the man taw to nil horror that the whole content of the tnb would toon be flooding the flour. At the tame moment he thought of tbo tore beneath and the amount of dam age the water would do aa it ran down through the ceiling. He ia a man of quick thought, and in a moment he did the only thing poeaible threw bininelf down beside the tub and, clasping hia arnia around it, held the already fait swelling stave together. He was sue cciinful iu keeping the water in but what a situation! He dared not yell, for he was hardly iu a condition to receive callers, Cftpeciiilly as be knew that all in the block at thn time were of tbo geutlrr sex, and ho realized at once that the only tliiiiK left fur him was to slay in thitt position until the return of hia wife, who was out on a shopping expe dition. Like the toy who saved Holland, be manfully remained in his most uncom fortable poaitinu until relief in the shnpe of his wife appeared. Then, to cap the climax, when he asked her to got a rope or any old thing to tie about the tub, she, after a long fit of uncontrolla ble laughter, asked him wby he didu't carry tub and contents out to the sink room and pour out the water. With a look that frose the smile on her face be did aa she said and without a word don ned bis clothing and wandered out into the cold, unfeeling world, a crushed nd humiliated man.

Throwing off the lifo line, which had become almost an intolerable burden, I scaled the pile of bare rocks and gniued the rim of the crater. The great bowl within was deeply filled with snow, bat the lilack circle) forming its rim could be (Mutinctly traced. Descending the in nor 'slope for about 100 feet, I found a place where steam was issuing from a crevice in the rorJcs and warmed my bnnnmbed Angers.

The floor of our cavern sloped steeply and led down to an ngly opening of unknown oVptu be tween the descending roof of ice and the rocks. To guard uguiust accidents, tbe lifo Jiue was stretched uctoss the caveru and made fnst to crags. This proved a wise pK-cnutiou, as we were able during tho night to walk op and down with the rope in onr bands and avoid the stiffners und discomfort that come from remaining long in one posi tion.

We were at heavy gnijjactico at sea und but for thn quiiikmTas of a gunner's mate would never hiivo re turned. As you probably know, tho heavy guns iu the turrets are flred by eltrtricity, the gun being diBchitrged simply by pressing a button. The officer iu command of the forward turret on our 8hlp during rapid firing practice was just about to press the button to Are one of our big guus when a gunner's mute was sreii to grab ut something on tho Willi of tho turret ami then full in a luiip on tho floor. The tifllcer pressed tho button, but the gun was not dis charged. When tho mate came to, be wns p.aktd v, lint had happened, and be informed tho cfllcer that the breech of thn gun hud uot bocu locked nnd that what lie i.rulibid at on the wall was tho wires forming the. electric, tiring circuit ' ' VV hen he f n w tliut t ho ofllcer was pre pitring to firo thn gun nnd at the same time otacrvid that tho breech of the pun wus not lciht d, tho only thing tbnt orctirri'd to liim to prevent the gnu be ing discharged wus to destroy the cir cuit, which he did promptly nnd effect ively, V, hi it all this occurred, there was r. i lii.if n of SftO pounds of powder in l.o gun, uuotlier charge of tho same tir iu llio tut ret rinily to bo served, and I he iv.Ksugewny leuiliug to the powder n:i.h.:inu vun vviilu open.

A thought that In. ii( urrcil to me is this: Kuppono the aia.'ldciit liad occurred, what do you in i.j.iue tbo verdict of a board of iu uuiry us to the cause of the Ions of the ship would have been?

"Wo are not running around looking for jobs at mending jewelry," said salesman in alnrye Chestnut street jew elry house, "and wo don't shriek with joy when such jobs coma iu to us uusO' licited. You wouldn't belicvo it, possi bly, but we are not fond of assuming churgo of anything to bo niemlcd unless it comes from n well known ciiHtoiner, Thn greatest trouble is dun to tho forget fulness of strungers, who take a watch or a ring to a ccrtuiu store to be fixed and neglect to remembe r thn exnet nd drees of Jiat store.

"Go ou!" replied the other, shoving the hand with the bill aside. "I've tho change right here." "But it's my trait," returned his friend. "Besides, I need the change anyhow.
