TION IN TIME OF DISASTER.
Under Stress of Great Fear Most
<Patpt* Forget Everything Ex*
oen* the One Thing of Sav?
ing Their Lives.
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

What She Ate.
"It has been my experience that the
custom of taking an appetizer before
breakfast in fhe morning, which used
to be so common among visitors to
New York hotels, Is dying out." said
a manager yesterday. MI should also
say that fewer persons drink anything
spirituous with the first meal of the

"But the weirdest mixture of fruit
and food and stimulant for a break?
fast I ever heard or was ordered in
our restaurant the other day, and by
a woman, too. She was about fifty
years old, I should say, and was not
stopping here, but came in about 10
o'clock In the morning, took a table

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.

The Wonder of It.
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.
