One evening youug man wagered his
heart and hand with a Western belle
that she dared not play the milkmaid.
He had known her for years, and was
her escort op this occasion She was
elegantly dressed. 81 will vim" she
cried. "Get me pail" A crowd
gathered around, an attendant went
for pail and she made preparations
for milking The COW was gentle as a
dog, and anxious to be MIXED Miss
Betty pinned the hem of her silk
dress to her waist, took off her gloves,
and in less than Ten minutes had a gal
lon and a half OF milk IN the pail.
The owner himself brought basin for
her to wash her hands in, and the
crowd applauded Justify as she walked

This Boy was a Hero.
Stood in Binding Smoke and
Beat His Drum While 500
SchoolmateS Marched
Out.

OMAHA, Neb, January 30.-Ofie
Downs, the drummer boy in the
Dodge street school, calmed panic
and prevented terrible calamity
among FIVE hundred children. He is
less than fourteen years old, but the
moment he heard the hall gong sound
the alarm of fire, be did not forget
that he had important business on
hand
1t has been his duty twice a day to
stand at the bottom of the stairs and
march out the scholars to the step
of all army rattle.
This exercise was called the fire
drill and the pupils from the infant
class were told they must never hesi-
tate when the drum should sound.
He saw smoke coming through the
register and rapidly passed up the
aisles, went down two flights of
stairs on the run, into Principal
Aliens room He pulled the drum
down from the hook, slung the strap
over his shoulder and plunged into
the hall The smoke was now so
dense he could barely see his way,
and on the floor above he heard the
teachers shouting to the children to
remain in order.
There were fire engines rattling
outside. He picked his way to the
bottom of the stairs just as the FIVE
hundred pupils appeared in a herd
at the top. He pounded that drum
for dear life The very first sound
from it acted like magic Mr. Allen
pulled three little girls and one boy
from under the feet of the rushing
children and commanded them to
keep step to the music. The little
ones then remembered their lessons,
and to the music camly came down
the long flight as they had done a
thousand times before. Smoke filled
the entire building, but a minute
from the time the "band' began to
play there was not child in it
The boy waited until Principal
Allen told him everybody was safe,
and then came down the from. steps,
still ratting away at his fire call.
The crowd cheered, the teachers
hugged him and last night FIVE
hundred families sang the praises of
his young courage. He was the sole
cause of the rescue of the children,
several having tainted and fallen dur
ing the first moments of the SIAM
pede
The fire started from an overheated
furnace stack and was easily extin-
guished by the department despite
the fact that the flames had consumed
one floor.

however, that as Speaker he was but
the mouthpiece CT the House, and that
be would have the hearty cooperation
of the members in carrying out the
work with uuanlmity and smoothuess.
He assured the mem bers that be would
recognize no faction or parties while
Speaker of the House Of Representa-
,ives of the people of the State, but
that if he, as human being, erred in
his ruling it would not be thought an
error of the heart. He hoped most
sincerely that the pleasant relationship
that has existed in the House would
coutiuue and that the members would
CO. operate with him in doiug the work
of the State. Mr. Gray's speech was
we'll received and be goes into bis po-
sition with the we'll wishes Of every
member and Of the press.

SALISBURY SPEAKS.

LoNDN. Jan. 81 Prime Minister
Salisbury delivered speech here to-
night in course of which be rebutted
the statement made THURSDAY night by
MIR. John Morely to the electors at
Arbroth. concerning the Monroe doc.
trine. MIR. Morley said that LORD
Salisbury had blundered in seeming to
question the Monroe doctrine, and that
if there ever was question that should
be arbitrated, it was the Venezuela
boundary question. Lord Salisbury
said tonight that although the doctrine
formed 90 part of international law his
dispatch to Secretary of State Ooley
supported it as rule of policy as
strongly and distinctly as possible, but
in the form in which President Monroe
