Why European Tourist Keeps His De-
parture Secret.
Why do / keep my proposed trip TO
Europe so secret?" repeated man whose
circle of friends is larger than common to a
person who had asked him the question.
'Wel, to tell the truth, because / want to

dozen or two Of people whom | know
Whenever they learn that ! am about to go
abroad they overwhelm me with commits
suns of all kinds. One man wants a
photograph of certain tower Of the castle
at Heidelberg; another wants a peculiar
kind of mateh-safe, which may be bought
at a certain shop in Paris; still a third is
anxious to have a few London neckties,
Others wantumbrellas, sticks, opera glasses,
clgar-holders, Jewels or something else.
ITS nuisance IN the first place to buy
these things, especially as you are likely to
be in a hurry at times. Then when You ar
rive back in New York you are likely to
have trouble with the customs officials, be-
cause your friends always expect you to get
their articles in duty free. Besides, no one
ever pays you in advance, and you have TO
go around dunning the people. To cap the
climax, you often buy things that do not
suit the persons who have asked the favor
OF you, ana their disappointed looks or
words make you feel unpleasant, to say the
least. Consequently, having been through
these experiences several times, now keep
my intended departure as secret as posi-

SHE CHANGED HER MIND.

How a Sharp Boy Avoided " Going
Halves" with His Teacher.
Miss c., bright grammar-school
teacher, had tWelye-year-0ld boy placed in
her class at the last promotion who had es-
tablished a very bad reputation. The
teacher made up her mind that she would
work a revolution in his character if posi-
bic, says the Brooklyn Times. Accordingly,
she at once took him into her con fdence,
praised him when he gave the slightest OPP
portunity and passed over lis faults as
lightly as she consistently could, and finally
got bin to the point of promising TO conduct
himself properly for whole week-tha re-
ward to be letter to his parents teStifying to
his good behavior. When Friday afternoon
came he asked his teacher IL she had forgot
ten about the letter.
"Oh, no" she said, you have been a
very good boy and deserve i"
" Perhaps | will get present" he said.
''All right, said the teacher. jocularly add
Ing, land, OF course, am emitted to half OF
what you get.
This seemed to worry the boy, but he an,
swered, Perhaps / will only get 10 cents.
" Then cents belong 10 me-" said she.
well. maybe I'll only get some candy"
Then half OF that is NINE" replied the
teacher.
= But how do you know I'll give you half?"
said Johnnie.
"Fll trust to your honor" said the teacher.
Johnnie received his letter and MARCHED
proudly home. On Monday morn
ing his face indicated that he was greatly
pleased ana his teacher called him up to her
desk and asked
Well, did you get present. Johnnie?"
g Yes ma am, replied the boy.
"What did you get?".
Two pairs of trousers" replied the boy,

BUSY FIRE-BELLS.
Seven Alarms Are Sounded
Within Four Hours.
Total Destruction of Poetseh & Peterson's
Tannery on Army street-Bursting
Hose-The Losses.

The Fire Department had lively time
yesterday afternoon. Within four hours
seven alarms were responded to-
At 2:08 o'clock an alarm was sounded
from Box IS for fire in John O'Kane's
stable on Guy place, off Second street.
Sparks from chimney were the cause and
the loss was about $50.
The alarm from Station 325 at :55 o'clock
was for blaze that started in the one-story
frame building adjoining the rear Of the
northeast corner of California street and
Central avenue, owned by b. B. Dobhas
and occupied as a restaurant by Felix
Padoyrei. The twO-story frame owned and
occupied by the Powell-street Railroad
Company and the twO-stOry frame occupied
as dwelling and saloon by David Moore
were also damaged. The loss amounted to
$500; cause, explosion of gasoine-stove.
An alarm was turned in from Box 2S4 at
3:20 O'Clock Tor fire in the twO-Story frame
structure on Bank street. near Cortland
avenue, owned and occupied by z. Mathae
as stable. Pipe smoking was the cause;
damage, $780,
A fire on the roof of the Shotwell- street
School caused an alarm to be sent in from
Box l45 at APO o'clock. The loss was $50,
and the FIRE was caused by the wind blowing
over a smoke stack.
The alarm from Box 10 at 4 80 o'clock was
for FIRE in the fence back of X. ID. Chand-
ler'S coal-yard at the corner of Drumm and
Davis streets. Loss SIS; cause. cigarette
smoking
At6:50 o'clock last evening an alarm was
turned in from box 2s5, at Twenty-ffth and
Florida streets, followed five minutes later
by another from Box Isl, on Twenty eighth
street and San Bruno road, for a fire in the
large four-stOry frame building ON Army
street, between Folsom and Harrison, used
by POetsch & Peterson as a tanEery. The
efforts of the Fire Department to subdue the
flames were greatly handicapped by the
poor quality of its high-priced hose, which
kept bursting continually, and caused the
loss of much valuable time in taking out the
broken lengths and substituting servceable
hose. Despite the hard work of the fire
men, the building and its contents were en-
tireiy destroyed. the owners estimating
their losses at S25. 900, of which about 5000
is covered by insurance.
The firm had been doing business at that
place for long time, and had only recently
made extensive repairs and alterations to
the building, besides putting in new ma
chinery and getting in a large stock Of
hides. There was no one in the building
when it caught fire. presumably from sparks
from the fire in the engine.
