Burning Of G. q. Stout,s Residence

The residence of Clifford G. Stout, in
the northwestern part of the city, was
totally destroyed by fire early this morn
ing.
Mr.. Stout arose about 6 O'Clock leaving
his wife, who was not in the best OF
health, in bed and asleep. He built the
fire in the kitchen stove and then went
to the barn to attend to the morning
chores. In short time he heard the
calls of bis wife and rushing back found
the entire interior of the house on fire
Mrs. Stout was in her night dress lying
on the stairs, unconscious from the effec,
of the smoke, with the tongues of flame
licking her face and singing her hair
She was grasping her wrapper but had
evidently had no time to put it on. When
Mr.. Stout had carried his wife to a place
of safety the house was mass OF flames
and it was an impossibility to save any.

1t is supposed that the fire started from
Goals falling in pile of kindling. The
house was only wooden shell and when
the paper caught fire the flames spread
quickly over the entire interior. All oil
Mr.. Stout's clothes were lost, excepting
the suit he was wearing, as was every
thing belonging to his wife, excepting her
watch, including a piano, mandolin, and
guitar. The piano was covered by insur,
snce and there was an insurance of $4OO

Eonting In English Public Scbools.
From Harper's Round Table

Boating in the public schools is culti-

to row very well in the los and even

London soon became so choked with traf-

strong that no subsequent master risked
ridicule by interfering at the Brocas.

From the LOCl0slSt.
Considerable misconception prevails as TO
the manner in which the ostrich runs. 1t
seems 10 be still generally held that when
running it spreads its wings, and aided
by them skims lightly over the ground.
This is not correct. When a bird really
settles itself to run it holds its head lower
than usual and a little forward. with a
deep loop in the neck. The neck vibrates
siEuously but the head remains steady,
thus enabling the bird, even at top speed,
to look around with mistaken glance IN
any direction. The wings lie along the
sides about on n level with or a little higher
than the back. and are held loosely, Just
free of the plunging thigh" There Is no
attempt to hold them extended, or to de-
rive any assistance from them as organs
of fight.
When an ostrich. after a hard run. is
very tired, its wings sometimes droop; this
is due to exhaustion. They are never by
a running bird exerting itself to the ut
most, held out away from the sides TO
tighten its weight or to increase Its pace.
But the wings appear to be OF great serv-
ice in turning, enabling the bird to double
abruptly, even when going at top speed

Her Mint Farm is a Mint.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.

From the New Orleans Tmes-Democrat
Possibly the most curious farm around
this city," said saloon man yesterday, lis
a mint farm out near the fair grounds 1t
is operated by a woman, and is the only
one know of. She has all of the principal
saloons and restaurants in the city for Gus
toners. and makes very comfortable liy-
ing. She does not waste her time on small
groggeries. Some of the larger places buy
as much as 81 or So worth of mint a day in
the summer. when cocktails and the hotter
drinks give way to Virginia toddies, juleps
and other connections which require sprig
of the aromatic herb. The product of her
farm shows the good result of careful cuI-
tivation, for. unlike the ordinary mint, it
has no runners, with troublesome roots
Each sprig grows erect. Her farm yields
enough In summer to enable her to live in
ease during the winter"

Freedom of Speech.

Gladstone as private citizen is at liberty
to say much which it would have been in
discreet and utterly wrong for him to say
as premier when he represented q great
nation. Any man in position of delegated
responsibility represents not only himself,
but those who have intrusted their interests
to him. A private tutor is amenable to a
child's parents for what he teaches, though
tefore he was hill ed he had right to teach
that child what. he pleased if he had OPP
portunity. The college president, while a
larger independence is given to him, is
nevertheless the teacher hired by the par
ents, ana they have always the right col
lectivey, to put restraints upon his utter
ance Freedom of speech is the priceless
boom of every citizen of America But
when a citizen enters into contract with
other citizens to do certain amount of
speaking by way of Instruction he volun-
tarily consents to the possibility of re-
straint There is nothing to quarrel over in
this. No man need forego his freedom of
speech If he does not wish to. But if he
takes another mans money for his speech
the employer has an undouhted right to in
dictate when the contract shall end and
without prejudice to the American doctrine.

arrested in 1641 while 5ourneying in the service

The author OF this book gives as a motive Tor
bringing to light these tender letters Of En-
affection was not the exclusive birthright OF the
Roundheads and gift that was denied to the
Cavaliers who wore lovelocks She contends
that these letters breathe a devotion as true
as that OF Governor Winthrops more studied

does not appear TO be happy thought The
romance Of Endymion and Olivia was one OF
mixed impulses and feelings. The lady was coy
until she won. and then she was jealous.

true to her: and there was a suspicious mother
in-law. who was charged with poisoning the

temper and brought olivia TO her senses In a
penitent letter Of sweet humility. The spirit or
romance does not change with the centuries, and
these love letters true TO human nature. and.
except for the social environment and the old
fashioned grace with which they are written.
they might be introduced in a novel OF the pres

imparts to them decacy and refinement. They
