BUILD BALCONIES
"A Good Suggestion to Owners of Apart
ment Houses.

A Good Suggestion to Owners of Apart
ment Houses.
Why are not all apartment houses
furnished with balconies? A man that
owns or rents a house can sit on the
doorstep and enjoy the cool of the
evening; but what boon balcony
would be to those that are now stifed
in fats.
The poets are with you. When Tom
Clinch rode stately through London
streets to be hanged,
The maids to the doors and balconies
ran,
And said, Lack-a-day! he's proper
young man.
The loviug wife of Mr. John Gilpin
spied him from a balcony. Byron
compared Venetian danes leaning
over the balcony" to Venuses of Titan.
There are instances galore. o balco-
MES, guitars, serenades, the fall of
handkerchief or rose. stock incidents
of operettal And it is indeed a joy to
smoke peacefully thus suspended in
air after shutdown, dropping matches
or tobacco ash on those passing under.
Then the close pressnce of the adored
one in the dusk; with murmurous
conversation, with tie sense of isola-
ton!
But there are coarse, prosaic men in
petty authority who look askew at BAL
comics save for purposes of revenue.
Thus at Munster in Westphalia the
town council has decided to put a tax
On balconies $50 for those which pro-
ject beyond the walls, and $3.50 for
those that are less ambitious 'sThe
Council has decided that the balcony
is frivolous, lends itself to idle gazing,
spirit of criticism, and tendency to
impractical f1irtatioR.' This sounds
as though it came from the Connecti-
cut of earlier years. But our friend
the Classical Scholars assures us that
the owner of the firse balcony built in
ancient Rome taxed personally his ten
ants. "Maenius," a Roman citizen, let
his house to the cepsors, Cato and
Flaccus. He then built out balcony
and came into personal residence there,
in order to keep an aye on them"

snugglers rolled.

Even Saxon courtesy may be carried
little too far. When about to return
from a Bohemian village to a frontier
town in Saxony, thu occupants of a
sledge had their foot-Warmers carefully
rinsed out and replcnished with full
bodied Hungarian wine. Thus they
passed the guard post without let or
hindrance to the merry jingling of the
sleigh bells. LauglingSand Joking at
the success of their little dodge, they
called at a wayside inn for refresh
ments. On resuming their seats one of
the party exclaimed:
'sWhy, the foot-wagmers are quite
hot!"
Then the boots OF the inn stepped
forward and said, with friendly grin:
''The foot-warmeFs were quite cold,
gentlemen, SO. just to oblige you, /
emptied them and allied them again
with hot water"

A New Rifle Cleaner.

We have seen it stated that in one of
our neighboring towns ''pajama club"
has been organized among the ladies,
membership in which obligates each
person to finish five pajamas week.
This is indeed a worthy object, for re-

ceptable to the soldier boys than pa

CURRENT COMMENT
SPEAKER REED.
(Omaha Bee.

The part of Speaker Reed in this juno
ture is not SO generally understood or APP
pIeciated as it should be. He has exerted
an influence hardly less potent and valu-
able than that of the President in re-
pressing the bellicose spirit and passion
engendered by the Cuban question. Mr..
Reed has shown in no less marked degree
than MIR. Mckinley the dignified calmness
and equanimity which the situation RS
quired of those in authority and which
proper sense of responsibility dictated.
He has kept the House of Representa-
tives from becoming the hotbed OF war
like declarations, and while it was not
possible to wholly repress the spirit Of
jingoism that so largely pervades that
body, the Speaker, assisted by other Re-
publican leaders. has SO kept 1t in check
that it has worked little harm on the
public mind. There has been quite enough
of war talk in the House, 1t Is true, but
there would have been vastly more of it
but for the influence of Speaker Reed,
