A MYSTERIOUS FIRE.
Flames Destroyed the Dance Hall and
Saloon of las. Hayward at Salem
Monday Evening.
CLAIMED TO BE INCENDlARY.
At the Time the Fire Was Discovered by
the owner it Had Gained Great Head
way.-Partial Insurance.

A mysterious fire occurred Monday
night in the town of Salem, in the
western part of the county and, as
result, the saloon and dance hall of j.
w. Hayward, is mass of ruins. The
fire originated in the main building
shortly after O'Clock, and before the
flames could be checked the entire
lower part of the building had been
Quilted.
The building had not been used for
some time and there was no fire in it
at the time of the confagration. The
owner was sitting at supper when he
heard the alarm of fire and when he
rushed into the street he discovered
that it was his own building in flames.
The fire caused great excitement in
the little village and the people turned
out en- masse to assist in extinguishing
the flames. A portion of the furnish
ings of the building were saved, but
the loss will be heavy one on Hay
ward. Mr.. Hayward came to the city
last night but he could not tell the
amount of his loss at that time. 1t
will be somewhere above 500 and it is
covered by insurance in the French
agencies.
There seems to be a great deal of
mystery about the fire. For some time
objections have been raised against
the dance hall by some people in the
accusations, he seemed to feel certain
that the fire was of an incendiary
origin. The building had not been
used as a saloon since Old Settlers
day and most of the liquor and other
stock had been removed some time ago.
The matter has been referred to the
county officials and some effort will be
made to apprehend the cause of the fire
and if it was of incendiary origin, to
locate the guilty parties. 1t is prob
able that the building will be rebuilt
at once.
Fire on the North Side.
The fire department was called out
shortly after O'Clock Monday evening
by an alarm from the corner of Union
street and Milwaukee avenue. The
fire was found to be in the residence of
Joseph Baumgard, near this corner.
Mr.. Baumgard had been cleaning a
stove with gasoline polish and lighted
a match in order to see his work better.
The lighted match caused an explosion
and the fire resulted. In the excite
ment that followed Mr.. Baumgard was
slightly burned about the face by the
flames from the gasoline. The house
was damaged to the extent of about
$40. The partment arrived promptly
and soon had the fire under control.
The building was the properly of Jos.
Bendt and was fully insured.
Mr.. Baumgard was not seriously
burned and was able to be about today.

who had followed the band. They had
decided to let the robbers go when the

"Yep" or "Yup."

A curious American colloquialism, of
which l certainly cannot see the ad-
vantage, writes William Archer in Pail
Mall Gazette, Is the substitution of
yep or ''yup" for yes" and Of
nope" for no" No doubt we have
In England the coster's ''yuss," but one
hears even educated Americans now
and then using yep" or some other
corruption of "yes,' scarcely to be In
dicated by the ordinary alphabetical
symbols. 1t seems to me pity.
Educated Americans, too, will often
say "somewheres" and "a long ways"
| have little doubt that this IS" has a
grammatical history of its own. Prob
ably it Is an old case ending, just as
''he goes out nights" on which Mr..
Andrew Lang Is 50 severe, is a sur
vival of the "o'nights" which Shakes
peare puts in the mouth of Julius C9
sar (''Sleek headed men and such as
sleep o'nights''l.
At the same time, as ''somewheres"
has become irremediably a vulgarism
in England it would | think, be a
graceful concession on the part Of ed
ucated Americans to drop the ''s."
After all, somewhere" does not jar
In America, and ''somewheres" very
distinctly Jars in England.

ONE ON THE MOTHER COUNTRY

Histories of Eng land, furnished as
supplementary reading for the sew
enth and eighth grades in Chicago
public schools, were thrown out by
the school management committee
of the board of education, and dis
-trict superintendents ordered to re-
commend other books on English
history, which would not contain any
reference to England as our "Moth-
er Country"
When the matter came up on mo-
ton to adopt several hundred books
for supplementary reading, Trustee
Keating, who is president of the An
cient Order of Hibernans said:
'Every book on this list is good,
with the exception of the histories of
England. [ think it is time the pub
lie schools of Chicago should have
histories which show the rapacity
and tyranny of England in their true
light. The history of England is
worth studying, but our children do
not want to be reminded that Eng
land is the only country on the
globe. What we want in schools is
a history of England which will be
liberal enough to allow credit to
other countries.

LEARNING TO SMILE.
One of the Hardest Things For the
Gymnast to Do.

wy ~ 10.
The thing | found hardest to learn
in my business was to SMILE" said a
professional gymnast who did n very
clever specially recently ut one of the
local theaterS. Il started out in aero
bate work when | was only 10 years
old as one of family of five. NV
instructor was Charles Mcdonald, an
old time circus performer and one of
the best of his day. While he was put
ting me through my PAGES he was
continually yelling: Look pleasant!
Look pleasant" And my main trouble
for years was in following that same
order.
mo matter how hard tried | would
forget myself, and when | was doing
an extra hard turn | was certain to
make horrible faces, screw up my eyes
and grit my teeth. 1t took all the ef-
feet out of my act and must have

some difficult feat, | have been morti-
fled to hear n roar of laughter, and at
last | determined to either learn how
to smile or quit the business. | got
the knack at last, and now it has be-
come sort of second nature.
THE point is a great deal more i'm
pOrtant than one would suppose. |
know an equilbrist, for instance, who
is very popular on the vaudeville cir
cult, not so much on account of the
difficulty of his act as the smiling ease
with which it is apparently done. You
would never suppose from his face
that he was making any special eXer-
ton, and that of itself gives remarka-
bic grace ana finish to his work.
81 am not the only one in the bust
ness, however, who has found it hard
to smile at the right time. Almost ev-
cry ballet dancer, eccentric character
dancer and skirt dancer has had trou-
bic on the same score. Most of them
finally acquire a horrible fixed grimace
that is supposed to be smile, but has
no more suggestion of merrimcnt than

A curious case of lightning destruc-
ton took place at Gatchina, an i'm
perial summer residence not far from
column 30 feet high, held together by
iron angles. When rain fell, more or
less water pentrated the stones In the
interior of the monument. One day it
was struck by lightning, and instantly
the whole column disappeared from
view, killing a lone sentry ON guard.
The only explanation is that the heat
of the lightning instantly generated
steam on coming in contact with some
OF the water, and the terrific explosion
followed.

MANAGING SMALL BOYS.


Spirit Out of Them.
Il am always made sorry when |
ride in the cars, through the shopping
districts particularly" said the wo-
man to newspaper man, "to see the
mothers i'll treat small boys. 1t is
ethical cruelty, but quite as disastrous
as physical i'll treatment might he, it
seems to me.
Il see poor little fellows Of I and s.
nice little men who would be manly if
they were allowed To he, pushed into
that seat and ont of it into another as
if they were so many little dummies.
They usually are very nearly that for
seven or eight years of such pushing
and pulling is enough to take all the
spirit out of Il small boy unless he
has unusual vigor of character.
"A boy of that age ought to be be-
ginning to look out for his mother and
finding seats foy her. Occasionally a
sensible mother, who treats her boy
like human being, is to be found, and
it is pleasure to see the two together.
The boy who is dragged around like
little muff during the early part of
his life Is apt to come to himself after
a time IL he is not entirely ruined, and
then he goes to an opposite extreme, Is
rude and self asserting, while he is try
Ing to establish an equilibrium, and
the mother cant imagine what the
trouble is."-New York Times.
