By this time crowd had gathered, and
the woman hurried into O store, still

quences Of destroying her hat
wish I'd let it burn, " he said. when
the flames reached her head, she'd have
torn it off herself fast enough. That is
what one gets for meddling with what is
none of ones business
but how did her hat get on fire" asked
somebody in the crowd.
"Oh, that's easy enough and often hap

was attracted to the spot. Its caused by
a lighted cigar or burning match dropped

TO A CHILD.
Dreamless should be your sleep,

Dreamless should be your sleep,
For all your waking life is full of dreams.
Your slumber should be deep
As the cool darkness of untroubled streams
The tender peace of night
Should be your sould's delight.
Your frank and Towering mind
Wanders and wantons, fresh and fancy free
1t has not yet OWNED
The gathering glory of the earth and sea.
But while desire is still
The playth1ng of your will
1 look into your eyes,
Those pure and perfect mirrors of your soul
And watch the peace of skies,
Ehe sinless joy of days that roll and roll,
The joy that nothing mars
OF calm, celestial stars.
You are, o child an heir
To the wide hope and wisdom of the years;
Yours is the fate to bear
The sweet fruit garnered with unmeasured
tears.
For your unconscious sake
Hearts have not feared to break.
Your kingdom has been wrought
By patient hands, by brave and patient love.
The martyred mind has thought
For you alone, for you who stands above
The wreck and wrath of time,
Even as child sublime.

The New York janitor of flats has not
yet reached the tyrannical standard Of his
French counterpart, who, 1t seems, claims
the right to open and read letters addressed
to the various tenants Of the building I'M

this is the fact that the act has been vir-
tually upheld by q magistrate, who, being
appealed to by one of the victims, posi-
lively decided that, as the letters had been
merely read and not stolen, no offense at
law had been committed.

no more than one fruit should be allowed

GAVE WAY.
The Golfer Dam Used in the Laying OF the
Inlet Pipe.

Yesterday afternoon about 5
O'Clock, while the contractors were
rejoicing over the fact that it would
be only day or so before the inlet
pipe would be completed, the Golfer
dam which surrounds the enclosure
in which the remaining 100 feet of
the pipe was being laid, gave way on
the west side, flooding the inside of
the Golfer with water on a level with
the river. The giving way of the dam
was entirely unexpected, especially
on the west side, as the current
comes from the east. The engine
used for pumping the water out of
the enclosure is stationed on the
west side, and keeps constant
heavy flow falling at the foot of that
side of the Golfer dam. This. to-
gether with the strong winds which
have been prevailing the past few
days, is supposed to be the means of
causing the break.
LOSS and Delay.
The work was progressing nicely
up to the time of this unfortunate af-
fair. only about seventy feet of the
inlet pipe remaining to be laid, which
would have been finished and the en-
tire contract completed tomorrow.
The present circumstances will
cause great set back to the con-
tractors, as it will take week or
more to rebuild the damaged portion
OF the embankment and pump the
water out of the enclosure, mourning
no less than 10 days delay in the
completion of the work. Not only
does it mean great delay to the
company in charge of the laying of
the inlet pipe, but it will also be a
severe blow financially, mourning a
loss of $500 or $500.

The New Court House

The new court house proposition
should be conducted on non-polit-

oughly and intelligently discussed
from one end to the other. The
county in its present condition can
well afford to vote the $4,000 for
the purpose, and with time to meet
the obligation the tax payers will in
an individual sense not know that
the money has been expended. 1t
would be prudent and perfectly
proper idea for the county commit
tees of the various political parties
to make systematic effort in be-
half of the project Independent of
politics, and this will doubtless be
done.
