They hud been discussing the effect of great fright, and what most people would be likely to do under stress. "Well." .began Creedmore, "when wife and I took our trip to Alaska we were wreckec and came mighty near to losing our lives. About 2 p. in. of a dark, rainy night our little steam? ship was struck by another and a great bole rammed In her bow. She sank so quickly tnat there was no time to -Dress, so in the darkness we snatched what we ?uould find and made our wsy on deck. My wite appeared in a short flannel skirt and dressing sack. The other passengers, Including myself, looked little better. When the lifeboat, into which we were hustled, was launched it was rowed away in the inky darkness. The waves dashed over us till we were drencbef to the skin said nearly frozen. Every few minutes we were ordered to shout all together. After what seemed an eternity our about was answered, and we found ouraeVves close to the lumber steamship that wrecked us. A rope ladder was thrown over her side, and one by one we climbed up. Her captain was a Scotch man and a bachelor, and there was not a woman on board. When my wife asked for dry clothing the cap? tain told her to help herself from his cabin. When she appeared at the dinner table she was attired in a suit of pink pajamas, some underwear and the captain's slippers, which k*pt dropping from her feet. She was still so dazed by what she had gone through that she did not realize how she looked." "That's so." said Haynes. "I know from a little experience of my own that under such circumstances people are oblivious to their own appearance. Now, I was in a railroad wreck. It was in the night, too. and in the dead of winter. I was awakened from a sound sleep by a terrible crash, to find my sleeper upright, but badly wrecked. With difficulty I climbed out the broken window and started for the other end of the wreck, wheu a woman, almost entirely without cloihing, rushed frantically up to me, crying: 'For Gods sake, give me something to cover me!' 'Certainly, madam,' said I, with a Chesterfieldian bow, 'take this." Without a thought for myself I handed her my overcoat, being unconscious of my own appear auca till, with a gasp, she snatched it from my hands, put it on. and made off like a deer."?Los Angeles "Mmes.

WORK ROADS INDER CONTRACT 1 stunt y Hoard of Commissioner* Vi ?. tcrdUy Voted to <.i\o Plan a Trial l ioin October Until May. Columbia, June 22.?The board of commieslo r.> for Richland county yesterday voted to advertise for bida for working from 30 to 40 miles of road, in sections of from one to live miles from October 1, 19X2, un il May i. 1913. The plan Is this: A con? tract win be let to a person to work a certain sec tion of road, the county to furnish a split-log drag and all necessary tools, the person making the contract to do the work. The board was of the opinion that this would be a logical plan for keeping the roads in good condition, and are going to give it a trial from October to May. The entire board favored the plan except ?'apt. Kinsler, who went on record as voting "No." The trial of the plan is the outgrowth of a sug? gestion to the board by M. Goode Homes. The working of the plan is much like that now employed by railroads where a man with a gang is y:iven so many miles of road to keep in condition, except that in the case of the county, the contract is awarded to a man and his help is left to him. He agrees to keep so many miles of road in condition for a certain amount. _ DID NOT TALK WITH MURPHY. Gov. Wilson Held No Conference With Leader of Tammany Hall. D<**piio Contrary Humors.

A two-months old child was lying in a cradle n the yar I. Green happened to see the bird and got his gun and shot it. Placing ot.e foot on the tip of the eagle's wing, the other wing tip extended above the head.

Mote than a generation ago a frail child, three years old, suffered an ac Cident that rendered her a cripple and invalid for life. What a pathetic sight it must have been In succeeding years to see her hobbling on crutches to a distant school, a smile on her wan face! Even more pathetic, per? haps was the way in which she strag? gled to learn, subordinating suffering to thirst for knowledge. Here surely was the beginning of a sad and dreary life, begun in adversity and certain to end In grim disaster. 'Poor child," said the neighbor. ' What ehance la there for her!" But when on Monday, Sophie B. Wright died, the newspapers of New Orleans with one accord declared that the "tirst citizen of the municip? ality'' and of the State had passed away. From every commonweath in the Union came (lowers and tele? grams. A feeling of personal loss and sorrow fell on the more than L'5,000 persons whom she in her goodness had led from hopelessness Into light, from darkness into dawn. For the frail cripple of three had never sur? rendered to fate. The hours she was foned to spend at home she used splendidly. At eighteen she was a wonderfully well educated woman. She opened a school for girls. Her keen eye detected the need for a free night school, a remarkable incident showing her the necessity of begin? ning it at once. How that school came to till a place In the communi? ty, how it lifted young women out of the depths, how it leavened the entire system of education in New Orleans, or even In the country, is one of the miracles of modern times. This crip? pled Invalled teaching all day and cheerfully giving her services until late in the night for those who could not attend school at any other time was an inspiration to all who knew of it. and in her city there was none SO low and none so high that Sophie B. Wright was not almost a personal friend to him. The New Orleans Picayune gives tnnually a loving-cup to "the best ?itixen of Sew Orleans." Never was in ice so emphatically approved as K*h n the Progressive Union, compos? ed of t*he business men of the town, voted a few years ago that the cup sh? uld be given to Sophie. B. Wright. So insistent were "her boys" to be present at the presentation that two celebrations were necessary, a second one at night when those who worked by day could attend. Directly there? after, a public gift of thousands of dollars wherewith to meet a mort? gage on Miss Wright's school proper? ty was made. Cities all o\er the country demanded her presence on the lecture platform. One of the great new public schools of New * trleans was named in her honor, it was she who made possible the Home for Incurable, retreats in the country for the needy sick, she who fed thou? sands on Thanksgiving Day and dis? tributed gifts by thousands at Christ? mas. An enumeration of her chari? ties would till a volume, a recital of her deeds of kindness would tax our printing facilities. orphans. too. * ame to be her spec ial care. How could she do so much? Providence seemed to give her strength. She never hesi? tated to overtax herself. For years Sophie B. Wright strug? gled without reward, save such as came from the gratitude of her pu? pils, Often difficulties almost in? superable rose in her path. Over them all she triumphed If In bet last days she was wreathed In honors tli. > were of less significance to her than to others. Her heart w e< In her work, not in the plaudits of tuen.
