Mrs. Howe Sacrifices Her Own Life In an
 Effort to Save n Servant.
 MELRosE, Mass, Dec. 27.-Mrs. Syd- ney Howe, one of the most popular young married women in the place, was fatally burned yesterday in an at tempt to extinguish the flames which accidentally caught the clothing of her faithful domestic, Maggie Calla- han. The latter died from her inju- ries soon afterward. Mrs. Howe died this evening. The servant was at work in the kitchen when, in some unex- plained manner, portion of her ap- parel became ignited. She rushed into the hall, screaming, and by the time her mistress reached her the domestic was wrapped in flames. Mrs. Howe made heroic attempt to put out the fire, but in doing so her own dress caught and blazed up furiously. The women then tried to get to the door, but both fell unconscious before being able to reach it. The flames were com. municated to the furnishings of the house and the attention of the neigh bors was attracted. They hastened to the scene. The women were found on the floor near the door, where they had sunk down. Miss Callahan never re- gained consciousness, and died soon after being taken to the hospital. Mrs. Howe revived later, but her injuries terminated fatally early this evening.

 Printed Collected by Woman.
 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. 26.-A feature of general interest in the grain trade of the country appeared in the Journal yesterday, the editorial staff of which was made up of prominent women of Minneapolis, the commercial department being in charge of Mrs. Charles E. Lewis. Mrs. Lewis secured letters on the wheat situation from prominent men in the trade in the United States and Canada, and they are printed in the Journal, making it perhaps the most complete symposium on wheat ever printed in the United States. A striking feature of the presentation is the very general agree ment of prominent men of the trade in New York, Baltimore, Toledo, Chicago, San Francisco and St. Louis that the outlook for an advance in wheat prices is discouraging. Many speak slight ingly of wheat feeding, and the gen. eral character of the interviews pre- sented isvery frank in the discussion of the market situa ton.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 27.-The post master-general was informed that one of his postpasters in Oklahoma had picked up post office and run off with it, and the citizens ask that they be provided with another office and postmaster. They state that Postmaster Cole, at Cedar, in Wash ,ta county moved the office three miles out of town and located it on his farm, where it would be handy to his business. The citizens petition that John King be appointed postmaster to take the place held by Cole, and also ask that they be provided with an eff ce in town.

 "I thought you would be mad" said happy Jim.
 "I guess you better try and get 'quainted with your pa some. may be stern, but hope I'm just. To think l came near never finding out. Ray mond has tried to speak 10 pe for sev- eral days, but l always walked off. To-day, him and Lee both tackled me, and had to listen" ..
 "If one of you would explain" said Mrs Bixby, helplessly.
 Let Jim tell" said his father, look ing beamingly at the boy g
 Why, you see, ma," exclaimed Jim, ''I was passing Raymond's that morn- ing, and saw Mrs. Raymond standing on the steps, waving her hands dis tracted-like. She called me, and didn't like not to come, so l hurried f up. Little Alice was lying in the sit ting-room unconscious, and couldn't be brought to- MT. Raymond had gone to town, Lee had started for school, and there wasn't soul on the farm. Mrs Raymond was scared to death. She wanted the doctor, and couldn't leave Alice to go for him, so she asked me to get him. Even if he lives at the other end of the village from where the school is, thought I'd get back to the examina- tion in time if hurried all l could. l ran's much as 1 was able, but when came to the doctors he wasn't there. He was out to the Blake's farm, good half-mile away. So went there, and he drove me back to school, only was five minutes late" And then the doctor drove him to Raymond's,n finished Mir. Bixby; "and he pitched right in and did chores, and minded the baby for Mrs. Raymond while she and the doctor were tend- ing to Alice. Doctor said if he hadn't been called then, Alice would have likely died"
 Mrs Bixby's arms were about uer sons neck
 'I pretty near didn't get the doctor, ma, when knew I'd have to go to Blake's for him, Jim said; because l knew then I'd be Iate But I kind of thought it would be winning another sort of prize if I did my duty. So did it; only it was hard"
 "Yes, sir. You've got a bigger prize than the history one now. said his father "And, ma, I guess you and I have prize, too; that's what Raymond told me. Say, sonny, you run up to the attic, and get some nuts and popcorn and sweet apples. And, ma, l wish you'd put on your best dress, for Raymond and his wife and Lee are coming over tonight; and we'll all have visit together like we used to in the'old times. ."-University of Chicago Weekly.

A Maine Cyclone.

It is related of Lamont Downing that in 1s4s, one pleasant summers day, he was trudging along the high way north of the pond near the line between Dexter and Ripley, when a hurricane came over the hills from the west. The air was oppressive and sul- phurous and the sky black as ink. The path of the cloud was marked by all sorts of things from the Ripley farm houses flying overhead. The next thing the lad knew he was caught up and went sailing away with the rest ot the flyers Fortunately for him he had not gone far when he came into the thick top.of big elm tree which was twisted and wrung by the cyclone, and to this he clung. with all his might. When the storm was past. and folks came looking around to find who was killed, they discovered the boy lodged ia the tree top and had to get ladders to get, him down from the perilous place. --Kennebec Journal.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The United States consul at Zurich has informed the department of state that federal exposition will be opened in Geneva May 1 next, at which our producers and manufacturers may exhibit and thus give the Swiss people the oppor- tunity to compare American goods with those of other countries. The consul says that American trade can be greatly enlarged in Switzerland If our manufacturers and producers will only deal directly with the Swiss peo- pie.

 For the next two or three weeks Jim had hard time of it. Mir Bixby took him out of school, saying that it was not worth while for him to finish the session, since he was not going to col lege.i The boy had more tasks than eyer. to perform. Every time Mfr. Bixby assigned piece of work to be done he would say: %
 ''And hurry up about it, sonny. Re. member what delay cost you little while ago. l want no more fooling."
 Jim began to expect some such re- mark every time he saw his father. His mother was his standby in this time of trouble, and the two grew nearer to each other just on account of these little troubles.
 One night MT. Bixby came home late for supper, an unusual thing for him. He walked into the dining-room, where Jim was listlessly trying to eat, and, pushing the boy out of his chair, literally hugged him.
 What an awful goose you were, sonny" he cried; mot to trust your own pa. Ma, you take blank check, and this here boy and you go into the city tomorrow, and get him the nices, lot of tip-top clothes that a boy would want for college. Do it tomorrow while l have the money. Mebbe in September I won't have so much. You have him get his hair cut at first-rate

And why should stoopid boy want to 90 to college?"
 Mrs BiXby had already heard that afraid she would hear it good many times again before she gained her point. Mrs. Bixby rarely set her mind on anything, but now she was deter mined that her son Jim should go to college So she said for the twentieth time:
 Not stoopid, pa, he ain't. Jest slow, which he can't help It takes him a long time to learn his lessons; but he does learn 'em, even if he don't ever have a very high place in class. Once he gets a thing he remembers it, too. They had some questions in school last week, and Jim answered best of all. The head teacher, MT Blake, told me so. Jim'd never say a word himself. Yes, he's slow, but sure"
 'l need him round the farm," grumbled Mir. Bixby. Its been more'n l wanted to do to let him go even so far as he has in school. I never counted on sending him to college. l can't spare his work and the money it'd take to send him, both"
 Mrs, BiXby's usually submissive brown eyes flashed. "Pa, ain't ever spoke so before," she said, sharply;
 but shall say something now. You could afford to send him to college if you wanted. That's your one fault closeness. For the rest, there ain't a better mann you anywhere. Don't you think it shows there is good stuff in our Jim when he walks four miles to school every day, and four miles home, and does chores for you as well? Mebbe he'd have higher place in class if he had more time to spend on his lessons, stead of using it up working around the farm. There's Raymond, he hasn't as good land as
 you, out his boy has no work to do
 after school. Now, I've done my duty
 by you for years, given you all the
 butter n egg money, and ask as .
 kind of proper pay to me that Jim can
 go to college"
 Mir. BiXby looked overwhelmed when
 the vigorous speech closed.
 "Well, ma," he remarked, "I guess ought to know what's best for my son.
 If Jim gets the history prize this March, why, I'll let him go to college for one year, anyhow. If he gets it, I'll know he has little in his head

YOU WORK AND GET THE PRIZE, SONNY worth cultivating. If he don't get it ne can't go to college"
 Mrs. Bixby's face cleared up little.
 Jim calculated to try for that prize" ,he said; ''only his hope of winning it ain't any too high. Lee Raymond is trying, and he's pretty smart"
 Mir. Bixby drowned.
 It'd please Raymond mighty well if his boy got in ahead of Jim. Jim bet ter get that prize, ma. couldn't stand to have Raymond's boy beat him."
 Mr Bixby and Mir. Raymond were enemies. They had quarreled some three years before over an election matter, and Jim and Lee, dear friends, had been forbidden to speak to each other At first they had grieved, then grown rather indifferent. Now Lee was as bitter in feeling toward Jim as Mr. Raymond was toward Jim's father.
 Well, well, guess mebbe Jim'll get it." said Mrs. Bixby, pacifically. "At least he'll try mighty hard" Inc prize was gwen py oh UT" < eH tleman of the village to the boy who answered best twenty-four questions on ancient history.

So a good deal of work had to be done to earn that thirty-dollar prize. The ex, animation was held the last day of the winter term. The competitors were obliged to present themselves on the morning of the fateful day atnine precisely. Anyone coming after that hour was refused admittance, and lost his chance of winning the thirty dol lars, for that year, at least. Mrs. Bixby told Jim his fathers de- ciSion.
