To Look After the He'll system.


Joseph PAUL OF the force OF linemen en-
ployed by the Calumet and Hecla COM
pany, and working under Mr.. F. N. Bos.
son. has been given the village job OF
looking after the electric fire alarm bell
system in the homes of the members OF
the city fire department and particu-
larry the bells at the engine house.
His compensation has been fixed at
5000 year and the village authorities
think they are getting it rather cheap at
that. There were numerous applica-
tions for the place and it was at first
thought that 1t would be advisable to
get another man to devote his entire
time to the village work and have the
new man look after the system and also
work With the teamsters in the depart
ment. This however, was looked upon
as entailing too much unnecessary ex-
pense and the idea was dropped.
Mr.. PAUL was given the place because
he is perfectly familiar with the entire
system having been employed in putting
it in and he is also an experienced cleo.
trojan. His work for the mine plant
calls him all over the lines every day and
he would be able to locate a break Or
accident to the system with little or no
trouble. There has been considerable
kicking among some of those who were
looking Tor the place, the disappointed
candidates arguing that the village
should haye picked out man who re-
sided In the town, AZ there were such
looking for the place and also possessing
the necessary qualifications. President
viyian when seen in regard to the matter
explained 1t as above.

She asked about the Brittles family,

Of paper.

"Oh, did you" responded her hostess
with the indulgent patience of grown

"No, ma'am, can't" said the little

She was at last ready to tap on a
screen behind which Mr.. Waggle had
retired. Tho music boxes played Oh in a
tanele CT tunes He put on his eye
glasses. Lucy waited OIL sofa, and
Marietta waited before him. She could
see the summer land far out Of the win
dows, and her own eager, pink, hair
touzled face repeated and repeated in
tho mirrors around.
When Mr.. Wagglc had read "The
knight and the Lady" he looked
searchingly ct the author and demanded +:
"What made you write this!'
because it's thu first chance I've
had to write it," she answered truly.
"Do you often make rhymes"
Eyes, SIR" confessed the little girl,
hanging her head. But she hastened to
add, 81 would rather write things down
in stories without any rhyme, only it
takes SO much paper"
"And you write stories too? And tIiey
dent try to whip it out Of you at
sohoola"
Marietta was used to indifference and
ridioule, but hardly to condemnation,
and Mr.. Waggle really seemed fierce.
She plated the bottom Of her apron and
muttered that the girls liked to have
her help them Wits their compositions

"You'll be erybody's drudge. The
trouble of the whole wcrld will run
through you, and if any profit comes Of
it in the course Of time your glorious

to the occasion aud robyou by its laws. "
Marietta flung thsr bottom of her
apron against her face and burst into
sobs. She had lived pinehsd life, and
the prospect which Mr. Waggle set be-
fore her must be terrible indeed. But
she ierked the truth oGs.of her laboring
breast:
81 ca-ca-can't help it. Ig-g-got to
write-what comes ina my head--if l
have to write it OIL the 5arn!''
''That alters the question, - said her
tormentor, his voice taking a tender
tone. "Now, III give you dollar for

silenced as il by magic greater than

Audacity is the character note struck in
the most recent Cuban exploits, and, al
most as a matter of course, the man in
question is very young. Nestor Aranguren
y Martinez was born in Havana Feb. IL,
1873.
Now the important ard most welcome
fact is that no violent episodes Of the war
have made more for peace than have these.
And before we come TO them it viii do
no harm to characterize the young man in
q single short paragraph, the briefer the
better, embodying the information that he
belongs to one of the we'll known families
in Havana; that before the war he was
just enc of the tacos dc la Acera-dandy,
or dude, Of the Havana Tenderloin-an
ornamental rather than an impressive fig
ure in the cafe called FL L0uvie. But it is
related that when two Spanish officers, sit
ting ct an adjoining table In the cafe, gem
eralised rather impolitely the characters of
Cubans and Cuban women Aranguren
took one of the officers in his hands and
threw him from the window to the pave
meut, or terrace, or whatever there hap

The town Of Guanabacoa, just little
toward the east from Havara and sepa-
rated from it only by the impure waters
of the bay, is suburb, place OF residence
for many persons whose occupations take
them daily to the capital city. The place
was supposed to be securely held by its
Spanish garrison under the command of
Don Narciso Fonsdeyiela, but during the
night of Jan. Arsnguren led about 20
young men of his own class, together with
about so bomberos, through it's southern
outskirts and to the center Of the town,
In Palo Blanco street, so thoroughly de-
moralizing the garrison by the audacity Of
it all-and Spanish paper confesSes that

able to pass the night there, sacking and

Figaro complains that Paris. is quite
without strangers. The big hotels and
restaurants are almost empty. The rich
Englishmen, Germans, .Austrians and Rus
slams arc nowhere to be- seen. Only the
Belgians remain true to "the heart of the
world" This is attributed partly to the
reaction after the great outlay for Christ
mas and New Years and after the bril-
liant fetes for the car. But Figaro con-
sidors the evil state of affairs to be due
principally to the fact that the numerous
travellers to the Riviera from Germany,

through Paris, now use the new direct

\ Rays In Court

The \ rays have made their appearance
In court In France. A Marseilles merchant
was run over in the street and had his
elavicle broken. He sued for large dam
ages, which the owner Of the wagon sought
to rduce by alleging that the bone had
knit together again, and the results Of the
accident were therefore not serious. The
plaintiff, however, produced in court q
radiograph Of his thorax, which showed
that the fractured bone had not been re-
united, Notwithstanding outward symp-
toms TO the contrary, and that an incurable
Injury was the result. The court was con-
WINGED by this novel testimony and award
ed damages as claimed.
