SALT ON THE FIRES TAIL.
How "a Washington Husband Had q
Most Enjoyable Time with
Coal Gas.

"Niy dear. smell something burning
VIII you please see if Bridget has not
left the hampers in the dining-room
stove open and set fire to the fire
board?"
Right away. Did you see this dis
patch from Washington saying that the
president"
"Never mind the dispatch. Go down
stairs. know something is wrong"
Papa goes wnstars-dining-r
stove all right Bridget writing letter.
Papa returns and resumes his reading
In few minutes mamma shifts the air
and says: I'm sure the lamp was left
burning in the laundry and that some
thing has been scorched by it. Go down
and see. Papa goes down and finds the
laundry in darkness; returns once more
and tries 10 read his paper on the
lounge. He falls asleep and is awak-
ened almost instantly by reproachful
voice which says: "You don't care
whether the children and | are burned
TO death. | know there is something
burning. The chimney must be on fire.
You had better go and look at it,"
Papa goes cut in the yard, takes a
ladder off its hooks on the fence, tolls
laboriously with it up the back stairs
and is about to squeeze through the
shuttle hole when Ne is arrested by an
other command: Here, take this bag
of salt and pour it down the fiue if it's
on fire." He goes back, takes the salt,
climbs the ladder, gets on the roof, pulls
the ladder up after him and places 1t
against the chimney. Then he climbs
to the top of the chimney and peers
down the fiue; everything as it should
be. A policeman standing on the OPP
posite side of the street spies papa on
his airy perch and halls him: Whats
up?"
.I'm up"
"stop yer kiddin'. What are you doin'
up there ~
Thought the chimney was on fire."
@Anything wrong?"
sNope.r
Papa retraces his steps with his lad
der and his salt, regains his room and is
told; Good gracious, there you've been
wasting your time and exhausting, your
self in most ridiculous manner, when
the whole frouble was due to coal gas
Don't you see that the door of the stove
Is open?'
Papa shuts the stove door and goes to
bed.-N Y. Commercial Advertiser.

The Value of the BattIeship In War.
The battleship is the rock of defense
and the means Of offense in war. 1t
must be ready, able and willing to fight
at any time, in any place or under any
circumstances, or its value is most
questionable. The cruiser is the
mounted messenger of the seas, bring
ing news and rendering service. The
cruiser can, with the best reason, run
away. as she is neither built or adapt
ed for hard fighting. There are several
grades of war vessels, each having its
appropriate field. Vessels built for
heavy fighting cannot be fast. sailers,
neither can the light cruiser carry
guns and armor sufficiently powerful
to do battle against the great guns OF
fort or ship.-N. Y. Ledger.

YANKEE SCHOOLS IN CUBA.
How to Americanise Our New Pos
SEASONS.
st. Louis Giobe-Demc


Score one. and gtea, big one, for Gen.
Wood. the American military governor of
the ancient city Of Santiago de Cuba. He
realizes that the summer vacation season
Is nearly spent and the time for the re-
opening of schools Ii at hand. He sees
that in that city of st. James there are
thousands Of children OF schoo! age. and
he wants them 20 have the best possible
school facilities. That according to YAM
kee notions IS one OF the essential funaa-
menis OF good government, especially Of
sef-government. and the primary mission
of the United States in Cuba Is 10 give
that island good government and nj it, Il
possible, for some measure OF sclf-govern-
ment. Hence. attention is properly paid to
the schools.
Four things the general has decided upon:
al sound Yankee doctrine 10 the core
First. that the salaries Of the school COM
mssioners shall he reduced We do not
know how large they have been bat we
do know they have been too large Any
salary al all ls too large for that Office
il Is 10 be hoped Gen Wood has made a
big reduction. ard that 1t will be merely
a stepping stone TO abolition. Second that
the Saagi@s OF the teachers shall De In
creased They ought 10 be We do not
know how small they have becn bat We
are confident they have been too small. as
practically AL school teachers salaries are
Doubtless higher salaries will mean better
teaching, and that. IN turn, Will mean h-s-
ter citizens IN the rising generation

Up near Ponca. Neb., lives a man who Is
noted for his Observation-Disclosures A recent
visitor from there declares this story is told
and believed among his ne!shbors:
He was over at our house one evening
when heavy rain set In, and he was in
vited TO stay all night rather than take ths
drenching he would get on the half-.nile
trip home He accepted the invitation
Later, he took his hat and stepped out q.
the house In a short time he came in
again. bearing a bundle under his arm. He
explained by saying:
~ didn't want TO give you folks toe
much bother, and so I thought | would
Just get my own nightshirt, and I have
been over 10 the house after it,.
And there never was any indication in
his manner that ne realized the ridiculous
ness Of the trip under the circumstances. -
