The whole was encased in a clyinder with an opening at every floor and an exit at the bottom. Among the Unsolicited testimonials which the agent had on hand was one from a school principal up in Iowa, who had evidently found that the fire escape was more than 1t was claimed to be-" Fire drill in his school was the most popular exercise, and the pupils, after having conducted themselves so creditably as to De RDllllGu lO SOillS opcCldl ldNOT, stead of asking for half holiday or to "spell down." would call for a few turns in the fire escape. So adept did they become in this mode of leaving the building that the principal boasted that the only chance for fire to catch one of his flock would be in case some ur- chin should slip back to try it again.
 The children never tired of the exer- else, and chose 1t in preference to all other rewards of merit, and it was re- lated that the janitor got so he could tell very accurately at night, by the temperature of the fire escape, what the general average in department had been through the day. As means ot pun ishment the fire escape was even more efficocious than as a reward.

SUCCESSFUL BOY FARMER.

How a Young Norwegian, With Help or
 Little Brother and Sister, is Prosper
 ing in Minnesota.
 Crookston, Mnn, Aug. 30--Charley Johanson, known in the Red River val ley as the Bonanza boy farmer, expects to clear nearly six thousand dollars on the products of his farm this year. He Is seventeen years old, and has broth CT, Frank, aged fourteen, and sister, Lena, aged eleven.
 Twelve years ago John Johanson came here from NoIWay, bought few farming utensils and team of broken down car horses, and one bright April morning in 1889 left Chicago headed to- ward the great northwest. After weeks of travelling over rough roads the half- starved man and worn-out horses ar rived at Crookston. Here misfortune overlook him. One horse died and the other broke a leg and had to be shot. It was a crushing blow to Johanson. Half his earnings for nearly two years were gone. It meant two more years of struggling before he could have his family with him, but he set to work pluckily, and in the fall of 1890 entered a homestead on one hundred and sixty acres of farming land about thirty miles from here. He bought horse, some lumber and tools with the money he had earned, and before the first snow had put up a small shanty on his claim Here he lived all winter, under going a great deal of hardship. The next summer he worked for his old em- ployer, but in 1892 he worked his own farm, produced his first crop of wheat, and cleared enough money to enable him to send for his family in Norway.
 About this time his wife died, and the three children were left alone. The United States consul was consulted, and he secured passage for them on transatlantic liner, and the young trav eIers were soon on their way to their new home. The entire responsibility for their care and safety fell upon Charley, who was not quite eleven years old. Each child was tagged as follows: Forward to John Johanson, Crookston, Minn., United States of America" and their tickets, together with their money, were sewed to the in side of Charley's coat. None of the children could speak a word of English. The United States consul gave Charley letters addressed to the Superintendent of Police at New Work, Chicago and St. Paul, and instructed Charley to show them to any person who spoke to him. The children arrived in Crooks ton all right.

The elctric dri facts by fusing hole through the steel, and the inten- sity of the light is greatly increased by the rays of light thrown off by the molten metal. The fact, too, that the work is carried on chiefly by the day light is apt to deceive the casual on- locker as to the degree of brilliancy of the light, and it is not until the af- ter effects begin to asert themselves that he is aware of anything out of the common. Dark glasses are now used by all the men on the electric drilling shifts. A singular feature of this af- lection is that it is analogous to snow or desert blindness.-Pittsburg Dis patch.

WAR ENTHUSIASM COOLED.
How Recruiting Officer Lost the Fruit

How Recruiting Officer Lost the Fruit
 of His Labor.
 In a small Virginia town two venture some young negroes, dazzled by the war-glory talk of the enlister, made him verbal proposal to meet him at the station on certain day and sign their papers and go away to the camp which he represented. The day came and huge crowd of their people went to the station to see them off. The two lads were the heroes of the hour, and bore themselves with much swaggering jauntiness, until preacher called the crowd to order that they might all pray for their departing brothers.
 In that prayer he held out no hopes of return, but resigned them wholly to death and the Spanish bullets. "Oh! Lord, desc boys is been mighty dancin', banjo -pickin' young uns. but, oh, Lord, when de shells is a-bustin' round 'em sabe dey souls, even if dey bodies is gwine down to de black pitt" The ex citable crowd caught the spirit of the prayer and began to wall as if already at a death scene. Funeral hymns took the place of jests as in solemn process sion they filed past the two heroes and mournfully bade them farewell forever, at the same time loading them with messages to departed friends.
 Goodbye, Jim. Eff you does happen to go to heaben an you sees my man dar, jes tell him fowdy fer me" Farewell, Dick, farewell We gwine to miss you considerable when de pos sums gifts fat; an when we's eatin' watermillion we gwine wish we could drap leetle of de juice onto your burn in tongue way down wonder in tor ment."
 The ordeal was too severe for the would-be sons of Mars. They wept as loudly as any one over their suppostii- tious death and punishment, and gazed longingly back the way they had just come. Under the wailing admonitions military honor lost it's charm. A sud- den beauty budded about their cast-off hoe handles and haloed their forsaken blows; and so, confessing the error of their recent choice of an occupation, they turned their backs on the tened field and went instead, to the cotton patch. The chagrined enlisting officer, having no signed papers to hold them, was forced to submit to their latest de- cision.-Chicago Times Herald.

AS A BASIS FOR
 DISCHARGE FROM THE ARMY.


 August 19 was pay day in Camp Black and the newspaper report that in the course of the evening the sol- diers cleaned out all the camp canteens and also most of the saloons in the vil- lage of Hampstead. This was an eff fectual way to deal with the saloon evil, but it may be doubted if 1t was really so efficacious for the promotion of temperance as the course followed by the Seventh army corps at Camp Cuba Libre, near Jacksonville, Fla, where all the company commanders have been instructed to recommend for discharge, on surgeons certificate of disability, all cases of chronic alco- holism in their companies. The inten- tion of this ciroulr is to discourage whiskey drinking Alcoholism is rated sa disease not incurred in the line Of duty, and surgeons certificate of dis charge on that account would be of no value as a basis for a pension claim, and of no great use in proving the re- turning soldiers title to the esteem and gratitude of his home community.
 Everyday the newspapers have re- ports of disorder created and damage done by oostreperous or drunken vol unteers. Barroom brawls are common. There are, of course, many ne'er-do- wells and some criminals In our armies. In time the incorrigibles would be weeded out, but those amenable to cor rection would be improved by disci- pline. Meanwhile the ructions that our troops are responsible for are probably not more numerous or serious than we ought to expect. It is interesting and somewhat consoling to read that our British brethren have at Halifax reg iment of new Irish recruits which seems to be more disorderly than any of ours. During the week ending Au- gust 20 twenty-eight of its members were sentenced to imprisonment, and l responsible men are so scarce among | the rest of the rank and file that 1t has 1 been necessary to send back to England for experienced sergeants to keep the men in order.-Harper's Weekly.

WAsHGMToN, Oct. II, 'eS.
Chairman Babeock, of the Rapubli-
can Congressional Campaign Commit
tee, is getting good news these days
Like Senator Hanna, he was awhile
back afraid that over confidence would
keep so many republicans at home
that control OF the next Hos Sc might
be lost, but from reports he is row re-
ceiving the republicans in all sec-
tiOns are bee ming thoroughly alive to
the necessity of getting out the full
vote and keeping control of the House,
so that when the Senate becomes re-
publican, as it will after the the fourth
OF next March, both branches of @ IN
gress will be in a condition to put
through the necessary legislation to
carry out the domestic policy Of the
administration, which will contin ne
the prosperity that the country is now
enjoying, as we'll as show the world
chat the country is behind Presid ent
Mckinley In carrying out the nsw ,r-
eign policy made necessary by the re-
suits OF the war, just as it was behind
him in the conduct of the most sue
cess'ul war in all history. The coun-
try knows just what the republican
party offers it, both st home and
abroad, while nobody knows what the
democratic party would give it, further
than that democratic success would
mean q renewal of the uncertain les
which were so disastrous to our com
N ercial and industrial interests during
the last Cleveland regime. There has
never been any doubt during this cam
paign as to the feeling OF the majority
of the voters only fear that feeling
OF over security might result in toe
many republicans not taxing sufficient
interest TO make sure of success in the
Congressional campaign. Thanks &C
hard and intelligent work on the part
OF the party leaders that fear is daily
being lessened, and bids fair to entire.
