FIRE.!
The Home of VIM, Mason, Third
Street, Barely Escapes
Destruction,

About 10 o'clock Tuesday evening,
was seeing What Happened to
JONES'" there was a still alarm by tel
ephone, calling the fire laddies out 70
meet they knew not what After they
had been gone about five minutes up
Third street, an alarm was rung in
from box 43, at the corner of Fourth
and Montgomery streets.
1ne telephone message called them
to the home of William Mason, just op.
posite the store of Hopp & Gearhart,
on Third street, and was occasioned
by the family hearing a cracking
noise in the bath room and finding it
filled with smoke. A fortunate cir
cumstance in connection with the oc-
currence was that they had telephone
placed in the house only Tuesday, and
wehe thus enabled > call e depart
ment promptly. Some one who saw the
smoke ran up to the nearest box and
turned in the alarm, but at the timo it
rang the wagon was on the scene.
The family told the firemen that
they could extinguish the blaze
with chemicals and they attempted to
do so, but could not reach the flames,
as they were burning between the
walls and studding.
They cut away a portion of one wall
and found at once that the chemicals
would not quench the flames which
had quite start and as soon as air
was given them began the work with
renewed vigor. Connection was i'm
mediately made with the nearest plug
and stream was soon playing on the
flames, which were eating away the
body of the home in stealthy manner
doing the work between the walls, be
tween ceiling and roof, necessitating
the cutting away of some part of the
building in each instance in order to
get at the fire.
The tiremen did their work nobly
and earned thtir titles to heroism by
worNIng faithfully in une face of OBJ
stacles and suffering much from the
superheated state of the roof which
burned them and cut their hands badly
but never giving up until the fire was
completely quenched.
The fire is thought to have origi-
mated in the bath room, some plumb
ing having been done in that room
Tuesday. The water was turned on
in the bath room and had flooded the
front part of the house when the fire.
men reached it. This would damage
some of the furnishings that other
wise would not have suffered.
Inc damage is great and could not
be properly estimated last night
Nearly the entire rear part of the
house will have to be rebuilt and the
cost will be great, aside from the dam
age to furniture and furnishings, tc
say nothing of the inconveniece and
worry incident to sucn an occurrence.

The Play.

What happened to Jones last night
at the Auditorium was very con-
siderable. He proceeded happily and
despondently through a fast-flowing
lot of circumstances of all kinds and
degrees of bliss and woe.

no horse playa kind that can be
greatly enjoyed by one who has a re-

Bright faced, happy, rollicking, playful
babies, thousands of them all over the
broad land, have in their bodies the seeds
of serious diseases, and while they laugh
and play are facing death. The mother, in
the majority of cases. is unconsciously re-
sponsible for this sad state of affairs. Where
the mother, during the anxious period, suf-
fers from weakness and disease of the dis
tinctly feminine organism, 1t is useless to
expect sound and healthy baby. Every
woman may be strong in womanly way,
and have robust, happy children.
A wonderful medicine for women is DR..

sake of little extra profit.

IRREGULARITIES of THE STATES.
Some Physical Features for Which

Some PHYSICAL Features for Which
commemorative Are Noted.
.IIas IL ever occurred to you," said the
committeeman from Poweshiek, that
Iowa Is the best watered state In the
Union and has less sterile land than any
other?" No, It has not. Never thought
Of 1t. In fact, we don't know much about
iowa over here in the East. She gave us
some clever men in Allison, Frank Hat
ton. postmaster-general; Horace Boies, w.
w. Belknap, secretary of war; James Har-
Ian, secretary OF the interior; George w.
McCrary, secretary of war; Senator Gear
and Gov. Kirkwood. JEFF Davis, a lieuten-
ant in the United States army, thrashed
lot Of white folk In Dubuque. and the
Mormons settled at Council Bluffs. An
other thing--Iowa passed law prohibit
ing LIQUOR dealers from making more than
80 per cent profit on sales. What else is
she famed for?
The Poweshieker's remark led to study
of the physical peculiarities of several
states. In proportion to size, Georgia has
a great many more counties than any
other state, the present number being 1877,
with promise Of a new one to be named
after Lieut.. Brumby. Texas, with nearly
four and half times the area Of the
'cracker" state, has A4. Georgia has no
lake. and her rivers and creeks are not
above the average. Massachusetts, has 20S
ponds, 1922 rivers, and more coves and har-
bors thany any other state. She has more
islands than any other state except Flor
Ida. Hard to believe, isn't It?
The average reader will be amazed to
learn that little New Hampshire, with less
than 10000 square miles. has no less than
406 lakes and ponds, 154 brooks, IS rivers
and 294 mountains. This makes Iowa look
small Colorado, big state, has 566
creeks. Texas has comparatively few riv-
ers, lakes and creeks. Alabama has $50
creeks and 81 rivers. Iowa cannot ap-
proach that record. Minnesota has 222
lakes and 40 rivers.
Pennsylvania, one Of the biggest, rich
est states, has altogether only 16 rivers
and not creek. Kentucky, also a big
state, has no creeks and only % rivers.
Tennessee has 81 rivers and creeks all
told. Indiana has creeks, lakes and is
rivers. New York, state of modest size,
is well equipped with rivers, lakes, creeks,
islands and mountains Louisiana is near
ly all rivers ard bayous, and Florida is
largely made up of creeks. Islands, lakes
and rivers.-New York Press.

Heroes Scarce.

The making of actresses IS easier than
the making of actors. The young women
are by nature more apt and pliable. Their
faces are more mobile, their manners more
graceful, their habits Of speech and bear
ing more variable. When the roundup
of talent comes and the graduates are
turned out for professional service there
are half a dozen proficient actresses to
every actor of equal ability. This is
shown at the matinee trial performances,
In which the female roles are generally
well played, while the male ones are not.
If promising actresses are more numerous,
six to one, than actors, the same ratio
operates in favor of the young men in
getting work. A good-looking fellow finds
himself in no such glutted market as dis
courages his sister asp.rant. n ne is
clever he will readily get an opening.
even though he is ugly. The masculine
roles in plays predominant largely. OF
comely intelligent. and tolerably facile
actresses the supply is far in excess Of the
demand. Heroes are scarce. Heroines
are plenty.-Ladies' Home Journal.
