Poor Caraway thought to get up
some interest in his assumed christi
anity and superficial decency by
writing up long windy report of a
''terrible case of vandalism" wherein
the fend had desecrated the grave of
the dead by stealing or destroying a
handsome wreath that had been placed
upon it. He grew quite eloquent over
the matter, and doubtless shed some
crocodile tears over his own produc-
ton. But Louie Zimmeht, the care
full sexton at the cemetery. comes out
and punctures the "higfalutin" dia-
tribe by stating that the mother of the
young man whose remains were
adorned by the beautiful wreath, had
herself taken the token of love from
the grave and placed it in Mr.. Zim-
meht's hands for safe keeping. Poor
Caraway can't turn his hand over any
more without making a blunder.

day afternoon, in the oil house at the
rear of the store, an inquisitive kid of
the kind that is always getting into
trouble lit match and out of pure,
unadulterated cussedness threw it into
the gasoline the Griffith lad was
pouring. Of course trouble followed.
The pants of the two boys and the oil
house were instantly on fire. The
alarm WAS sounded, in three minutes
from the time the match was lit the
firemen, eleven of the sixteen, were
on the way to the fire, and in less
than seven minutes a stream of water
was playing on the flames, in time to
prevent the FIRE catching the so gall
ons of gasoline in the tank. Had
there been but few minutes delay
the tank would have been melted as
the fire was under and all around it
and the result would have been dis
astrous. The Griffith lad showed
good presence of mind by jumping
into puddle of water and putting
out the fire on his legs before he wa
at all burned. The other boy, Whose

Ex-President Harrison is at present

ave are sowing the seeds of discord,"
he said, Sin breaking away from our
National election law. The people Of
the country will not submit to the
selection of their officials by the dice
box or the juggler's hat. Above all
things we should have purity Of the
ballot, but we have reached condi
ton in our national life where we sub.
nit to the most infamous outrages up.

in the South, but in the largest cities
of the North is there demand for the
purity of the ballotboX In honest
elections lies our national safety, and
we cannot tolerate fraud without pay
ing bitter price in the end"
