Time to Stop.

Among the best stories recorded by a
we'll known angler is one about Scot
fish laird who was one day relating to
his friends at the dinner table the story
OF fine fish he had caught. "Donald,
said he TO the servant behind his chair
so old Nan, but new servant-"how
heavy was the fish I took yesterday
Donald neither spoke nor moved. The
laird repeated the question. "Weel,"
replied Donald, sit was twal' pund at
breakfast, it had gotten to achteen at
dinner time and it was sax and twenty
when ye sat down to supper wi the
captain. Then, after pause, he add.

FIRE HORSES.

Tho Quickest Ones In the World Arc Said
to Bs In Kansas City.
F. s. Dellenbaugh writes Of ''The
Quick Horse" in st. Nicholas, his
article telling Of the training of horses
for the fire depur. lnent. Mr.. Dellen-
baugh says:
The quickest horses in the world were
ct one time in Kansas City at the head.
quarters Of its fire department, directly
under the Office OF the chief, Mr.. GEORGE
O Hale. To Mr.. Hale's genius more
than to any other factor the quick horse
owed his first development, for Mr..
Hale is the inventor of the earliest
swinging harness which made tho
quick horse possible. When Mr.. Henry
N. Stanley and his wife were in this
country, they witnessed an exhibition
drill Of the Kansas City fire department..
The drill so impressed the visitors that
an account Of it was published in a Lon
don journal, and this English article
brought an invitation to Mr.. Hale to
visit England as the representative of
the American fire service at the interna.
tional fire tournament. Mr.. Hale and
picked corps went to England, tax
ing with them the remarkably quick
horses Joe and Dan, and they became
world famous. As the quickest harness
ing time Of the London fire brigade is |
minute Tx seconds and the Kansas
City horses were harnessed in ~ sec.
onds and were out of the engine house
in less than 8 seconds, there could be no
competition. In Kansas City four fine
bays were harnessed to the hook and
ladder truck almost as quickly as even
Joe and Dan could jump into their har-
nesses. 1t was pretty sight to see these
four we'll kept horses spring to their
places at the stroke of the gong and in
two or three seconds stand ready to run
with the apparatus Joe was killed by
an accident, but Dan, with new mate,
is still in service, and as quick as ever.
The record for quickest time from the
engine house to the throwing of water
on the fire is held by Kansas City
company. In this instance the horses
were harnessed, run of 2, 1874 feet "a
little less than half mile) was made,
and water thrown from the hose in the
wonderfully brief time of minute 31h
seconds.

WHEN YOU ARE oLn.

When you are old and gray and full Of slssp
And nodding BY the fire, take down this book
And slowly read and dream Of tho fair look
Your eyes had onceand Of their shadows Deep
How many loved your moments Of glad grace
And loved your beauty with love false or
true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you
And loved the SORROWS Of your changing face
And, bending down beside the glowing bars,
1urmured little sad, "From us lied love. T"
He paced upon the mountains far above
And hid his face amid crowded. stars.

Chocolate.

To those who study the niceties Of de-
tail in the preparation of even simple
dish it may be suggested that chocolate
used as drink is much improved if
blended several hours beforehand. It is
better even to break the Jumps of I'M
sweetened chocolate into an earthen
bowl the night before, adding cold wa
ter and covering closely. In this way
the flavor of the chocolate is best ex-
tracted.-New York Post.

Madrid,s Fenr. and In.inuntions

A dispatch from Madrid printed In today 8
news columns indicates that there Is a des-
perate state Of public feeling in that cap
ital against this nation. The suggestions
that are afioat regarding the examination
of the Names hull by divers indicate how
bitter is the anti-American sentiment. 1t is
proposed that the government at Madrid
forbid all access to the wreck of the vessel
by divers employed by the American news
papers and that when even the official
divers employed by this government exam
inc the wreck they be escorted by Spanish
divers. presumably to guard against lying
reports. The ''Yankee-hater of the Span
ish capital even go so far as to propose
that the services of divers Of a neutral ma
tion be called in to determine between the
American and Spanish divers In case of a.
disagreement. Such a submarine arbitra-
ton would be among the worlds novelties
The significance of the propositions from
Madrid Is that the people there seem to fear
that this nation Is not to be trusted to
satisfy itself properly as to the exact
causes of the disaster. but will try to manu.
faotnre evidence of foul play on which a
cause OF war can be based. There is no
lack OF ground FOR entirely proper represen-
tations from this country to Spain at the
present moment sufficient to precipitate a
crisis. without such a miserable subterfuSe
as the people Of Madrid would now insinu-
ate as possible and likely

Frances f. willard.

Miss Frances E. Willard who died yes
terday, was one of the worlds most famous
women She was known in every civilized
country, II not in person at least by her
works in the interests of temperance AS
the head of the worlds W. c. T. u. she
mas OF late years been engaged with the
utmost energy in advancing the cause for
which she stood and her measure of sue
cess has been marvellous In view of all the
obstacles and prejudices against which
she has fought. Miss Willard was a
genius in organization and administration.
tireless worker and keen judge of per-
sons. she knew where to place her trust
and where TO labor herself in the field. 1t
is difficult to estimate the sum-total of the
benefit the world has received through this
one wo1nan's endeavors, now cut short by
death. Miss Willard doubtless realized that
the complete attainment of the full pur-
poses of her propaganda could not be ex-
pected but she worked nevertheless with
that end in view and the actual achieve
ments were notable. The organizations
that she founded and managed have served
as have few others of similar nature to
arrest the thought of the world. They will
continue, of course, and some other eff
cient administrator will succeed to Miss
Wizards duties and responsibilities. II
would be deplorable event if her death
should in any manner weaken the force
of the protest that the w. c. T. L. voices
against intemperance.

The Maine. Marine.

The marine sentry who gave Captain
Sigsbee the first report of the disaster to
the Maine is worthy of mention. His task
was trif1ing. perhaps. but he did it with an
American spirit of fidelity to his trust. Amid
all the excitement. with explosions filling
the air with noises that only partly drown
ed the shrieks of the wounded and dying
men, with the ship blazing and filling with
water. this marine calmly drew himself
up to salute as the commander of the
vessel stumbled against him in the dark
and made the formal report of the disas-
ter in the briefest possible terms. This
gallant fellow now makes light of his ex
pcrience. saying that ANY Yankee marine
would do the same thing" He pays a high
but not undeserved tribute to the trust
worthiness of the men who go to sea in
the American ships of war. The spirit that
animates him is that which enabled the
American navy in 1925 to sweep the At
lantic and gave to the young republic the
command of the seas and high rank
among the worlds naval powers. The En-
glsh papers are inclined to suggest that
the disaster may have been due to negli-
gence or lack of discipline on board the
ship. The utter improbability Of such e
slanderous theory is now indicated by this
display of good order on the decks of the
Maine in the first moments of the disaster,
when all conditions were ripe for panic
and decentralization.
