floors over there received letter from

order for $50, sent by her sweetheart.
She did not understand it exactly. and
she appealed to the lawyer in question
to interpret it for her. he told her
what it was, and then, through the
exuberance of Chicago attorneys

that she had been left a legacy of
$50, 600. During the rest of the day
the elevator men and janitors made
love TO the scrub woman, much to her
amazement, and they are still under
the impression that she is an heiress
and is pretty good girl to tie up to.

In Case of Fire,

The old saying, SIN time of peace
prepare for war" is as applicable in
regard to fires as to the movements of
armies. Every family who is living in
a house, from the sleeping rooms of
which there is but one way of egress,
and that near the chimney, is running
a terrible risk. Double windows are
a source of comfort in cold weather.
but what if they are so solidly nailed
on as to imprison the occupants in case
of fret Often, however, the windows
are so far from the ground as to afford
no safe way of escape. A fire escape
or ladder securely fastened should be
within reach of all rooms not acces-
sible in more than one way from the
inside, or at least something in the
nature of rope ladder or that could
be used for one should be kept inside,
with arrangements for securely fasten-
ing II at short notice. One may live
in a house years without any need of
such precautions, or they may be
needed within a week. = Lewiston

We'll, pretty easy"

place. that's all. 1t can't be very hard
TO sell postage stamps"
Il wish you had 1t, as you think Il
IS so easy. But, should you try it a
day, you might think differently"
This conversation between two ac-
quaintances occurred in city postof-
flee some time ago. The change which
brought about a new administration
removed the old postofiice clerk and
installed another man IN his place.
The new clerk entered upon his du-
ties with feeling that selling stamps
was a diversion suited to his genial
temperament. He hadn't been at the
window an hour before he was a sadder
and a wiser man.
A woman came up and wanted
thirteen cents worth of twos and
ones, half and half, seven postal
cards and a package of two cent
wrappers She had nothing smaller
than a s. bill
When the clerk had recovered from
the temporary slow fever into which
this episode threw him there was q
crowd waiting outside, and all he
could hear was:
