Agents for pump companies are

No diphtheria cases have occurred
for several weeks, as could he seen by
the absence of cases noted in these
columns. The precautions taken have
stamped out the disease, and If due
care is taken by parents and children
there need be no fear of any other
cases this year.

last night to a very light audience.
The company is fairly good one, and

have visited the city, and deserved a

pretty one. The special scenic effects
introduced were very good
The service for deaf mutes at the
Episcopal church last evening was of
an interesting nature. Only one deaf
mute was present, and the service
was transmit ted to him in the sign
language by Rev. A. W. Mann, of
Cleveland, Ohio, who is one of the
Episcopal mis-. ionarles in deaf mute
work. 1a

THE Revitau doesn't like the inter
view with Senator Washburn, which
was published in the FREE PRESS on
Tuesday evening, and sings very
different song than it did in abiding
to his visit to the city. 1t is very
evident that the truth which the
senator told about Democracy fell
very heavy upon the corns of the free
trade organ down the street.

care OF Lamps.

As there are so many more homes
in which the inmates depend upon
kerosene lamps for theirnightly cheer
than upon gas, few suggestions on
the care of lamps may not come
amiss. There is no necessity of sit
ting beside a sputtering, ilickering
lamp, with a smoked chimney, in
gloom and half obscnrity, if we only
understand the management Of our
lamps. To insure n clear, mellow
light, the brass of our lamp-burners
must be kept free from smutch and
stain. An old blackened burner is,
however. hard to be cleaned. Ii il a
good plan to boil them i'm strong
soapsuds, if this does not brighten
them, to scour them with b.ickdust,
polishing off with soda. Never cut
the wick by turning itabove the tube,
but take the stub of a match and rub
of the charred wick. When the
flame runs up the chimney of lamp.
it is an indication that the screw of
the burner is worn out; it is unsafe.
Cast il aside and buy n new one.
Empty your lamps occasionally, and
wash the inside with suds, care being
taken that they are well dried before
reilling them. DO not wash flint
glass chimneys too often in soapsuds
as it has n tendency TO make them
brittle, but rub them out with n
piece Of clean flannel Lamps thus
managed will give a brilliant light,
and amply repay one for their
trouble.

A Coon WILL FARM.-They are try
ing what they call a Good Will Farm
in Maine, with a considerable degree
of success. Bad boys are sent to it
instead of to reform schools. On the
farm they are separated, as far as
possible, into groups, in number of
cottages that have been erected. The
idea is that in this way the boys may
be subject to the beneficial influences
of home life. The household work in
each of these families is divided up
among the boys, who also work on
the farm or in shops. The same is to
be tried in Massachusetts also. A
farm has been bought in Danvers, on
which it is proposed to care for 500
homeless and destitute children. Its
distinctive feature, the cottage sys
TEN, might well be tried on a larger
scale in other States, in place of the
great institutions in which so many
boys and girls are huddled together.

WHERE THE BOWIE KNIFE WAS
MADE.-It is not generally known
that the first finished bowie knife
was made in Philadelphia. says the
Record of that city. In 1927 Col.
James Bowie, afterward one of the
heroes of the Texan war for indie
pendence, was engaged in n sdnguin-
ary fight at Natchez, the result of n
duel between DR.. Maddox and Samuel
Wells. After the melee Bowie, who
was shot, drew his knife, which had
been made from an old file, and with
it killed Mai. Norris Wright. After
the conflict the weapon was sent to
Philadelphia, where it was fashioned
by cutler into the blade which
afterward became famous as the
Bowie knife" When it was re-
turned to Bowie, he was told: @ It
is more trustworthy in the hands of
strong man than n pistol, for it
will not snap" This the colonel
found to be fact in many subse-
quent fights, his deadly wound cut
ting deep swaths wherever the strong
arm of its wielder sent it; and at the
Alamo, where he met his death, his
body was found with the knife tight
ly grasped in his hand, while n pile
of slashed MeXicans around him at
tested the prowess of the colonel and
the effectiveness of his weapon.

SKY PICTURES.

Low in the west the clouds of gray
And flushed with crimson and edged with
gold.
And the tender glow of the dying day
Falls fair on the hillsopes, white and
cold.
Her crescent the pale young moon suspends
Where the roseate light with the golden
blends;
And through ethereal spaces far,
Glstens and blends the evening star.
Slow fades the brightness: the amber haze
That veiled in its vapor the silvery CLEAN
OF the moon dissolves; between rugged ways
OF sombre cloud-banks like some fair
stream,
The blue sky-river winds away,
Broaening at last to tranquil bay,
o FER whose placid bosom the cloud-saiIs
glide
Till they vanish from sight in it's waveless
tide.
| look again; 10, how changed the scenel
Gone are the river, the shore, the bay,
No longer the cloud-sails float serene
And the moon and stars have lost their
way
And the winds contend IS i bitter strife
While l muse on the likeiiess of this to life
Fair childhood, bright youth-but at last
the pail
OF deepening shadow that blots out all.

The TypG-W Written Letter.

When a man has battled with pow
erty all his life, fearing it as he fought
it, feeling for the skinny throat to
throttle it, and yet dreading all the
while the coming of the time when it
wonld gain the mastery and throttle
hilu-when such a man is told that
he is rich it might be imagined he
would receive the announcement with
hilarity. When Richard Denham
realized that he was wealthy he be-
came even more sobered than usual,
and drew a long breath as if he had
been running a race and had won it.
The man who brought him the news
had no idea he had told Denham any
thing novel. He merely happened to
say: "You are a rich man, Mr.. Den
ham, and will never miss it,"
Denham had never before been call
ed q rich man, and up to that mo-
ment he had not thought of himself
as wealthy. He wrote out the check
asked of him, and his visitor depart

with something to ponder over. He

of the thing as if some one had left
him a legacy. Yet the money was
all of his own accumulating, but his
struggle had been so long, and he
had been so hopeless about it, that
from mere habit he exerted all his
energies long after the enemy was
Overcome-just as the troops at New
Orleans fought a fierce battle, not
knowing the war was over. He had
sprung from such hopelessly poor
family. Poverty had been their in
heritance from generation to genera
ton. 1t was the invariable legacy
that father had left to son in the Den
ham family. All had accepted their
lot with uncomplaining resignation,
until Richard resolved he would at
least have a fight FOR it. And now
the fight had been won. Denham
sat in his office aking at the dingy
wall paper so long fchdt Rogers, the
chief clerk, put his head in and asked
in a deferential voice

Grade Crossings.

In the report of the State Board of
Railroad Commissioners is the follow
ing in regard to the dangerous and
fatal grade crossing:
"The subject of grade crossings is a
veXed one. 1t is however, one that
must be met and disposed of. During
the past five years III accidents
have occurred at grade crossings, of
which 23S have resulted in death and
279 in injury. The time has arrived
to prohibit further crossings at
grade. In the case of new railroads
the matter is easily disposed of. All
crossings should be made either over
or under and at the expense of the
constructing company. The board
believes that q commission of three
persons should be appointed by the
court to determine the cost of the
construction under or over railroad
property. OF these one should repre-
sent the railroad, one the town, in
which the street or highway is laid,
and one should be, a competent civil
engineer The grade crossings should
be abolished as soon as possible"

Wherever possible, patronize local
trade. The more patronage given to
home merchants, the better and larg-
er and more varied the goods kept in
stock. Local business men and busi-
houses give tone to a city, enhance
land values, and help support local
government. They should not be
ignored to the advantage of outside
dealers who never pay u cent toward
the support of the city.
