!. THE ROSARY OF A RAMBLER


In literary circles the query is ever
being asked, rs conversation dead
art?" Whether or not it is, it is not
easy to say; for we have no definite
means of comparing the present with
the past and the renown of a conyersa-
tionalist must always be one of ira
dition. With the tradition may be pre-
served an epigram or two, but the MAX
ing of a few wltticisms cannot suffice
to prove one a brilliant talker. But
there is another art no less important
and closely linked with that of conyer-
sation, the evidences of which are en-
during. 1t is the art of correspond
ience. A generation or so ago letter
writing was a fine art, but the claim is
often made that in the hurry of present
day life its charm has been ignored.
The typewriter has taken the place of
the pen and the letterhead that OF the
dainty sheet of note paper, eNhaling
the fragrance of lavender. If it be true
that we have lost this fine old art we
are losers indeed The writer of long
letters is not necessarily the writer of
good letters any more than one who
talks continually is a good talker. In
in the expression of noble sentiment
subtle charm may lie, when reams of
Iunmeaning words and scattered
thought can not contain. Nor are the
good letters always those of literary
skill, for studied words are but a form
of affectation Who is there who does
not recall some one person whose let
| ter it is always the pleasure of a day
to receive-a letter in which kindness
and friendship are revealed in every
| line, and which comes as message
| from home to the weary wanderer? If
you and I can write such letters let us
not deem ourselves without one talent.

Councilman Fisher Still Pushing His
Scheme For New Fire Alarm
Instrument.
Iowa Central Figuring on Changes
In Yards and Removing Tracks
From Third Avenue.
Suggestions Regarding the Whole
sale Building Of Cement Side
walks Next Year.

Councilman William Fisher still has
hopes of convincing his brother alder
men that his new fire alarm scheme is
the thing. He wants the city to pur-
chase a patent instrument that will
take the place of additiinal alarm
boxes, which he argues, and with rea-
son, will cover the city better and will
save money in the end. The instru-
would be placed in the pumping station
of the water works system. Under this
arrangement, when fire breaks out in
any part of the city, the fact is to be
telephoned to the water works, giving
the location, and with this instrument
the engineers will send in an alarm
that will denote the part of town in
which the fire is. MIR. Fisher has Sc
cured estimates, and says that an in
strument to meet the present needs
| can be purchased for about $500. Add
tional alarms can be added to it at a
cost of 81 each. Mr.. Fisher argues that
an alarm could be sent to the water
works by telephone and turned in from
there in much quicker time than it
would require for a person to run to an
alarm box two or three blocks distant.
| The boxes at present in use cost about
sl25, or almost as much as does the pat
ent instrument he proposes to pur-
chase. Councilman kreutZer, the watch
dog of the city treasury, has SO far ops
posed the plan, but is ready to be con-
