 The Heart of Child.' by Joseph inc Dodge Daskam. which opens the February number of McClure's Maga- zine. is story of unusual and pro- found interest. In it breathes the charm of a tenderest sympathy. and that sympathy is interpreted by con- summate art. The heart of a child. heart eager and thrilling, brimming with the vagarieS of jostling dreams. that heart is laid bare before us and We gain glimpses of all the wonderful life in it. Yet the revelation is made with gentleness. with fondness such that the authors analytical skill is masked. The story is realistic in the best sense: it's theme is beautiful, and the beautiful truth is beautifully told.
 The fire department was called out three times yesterday. The first alarm was sent in shortly after o'clock in the morning. The fire was at the resi- dence of o. r. Hart on West Side hill. An hour or so later a telephone mes sage stated that a blaze was in prog ress in the building at the corner of
 T T,s, street and at 6:30 last evening the de
 partment was called to the residence of a family named McQuade on Bene- dict street, where fire had been dis covered in the ,cellar. None of the fires amounted to much, the prompt action of the firemen preventing any | losses to speak of though, to be sure, no matter how small an affair fire in a house may be. it usually does more damage than those not directly interested suppose.
 Residents of Wolcott street and Vii cinity are in q slightly perturbed state of mind, owing to few bold at tempts to gain an entrance into their dwellings, Friday night, as a young man was returning at rather late | hour from some social gathering, he l espied a man trying to gain an en- | trance in the front part of his house. l When he was questioned he made out ! he was drunk and that intoXication 1 caused him to mistake that house for 1 his own. 1t was fortunate for the i would-be burglar that policeman
 wasn't near or else he would have i found soft cot for the night in a l cell at the. police station. On the i same night an attempt was made by 1 some person or persons to gain an en- 1 trance in another residence on the ] same street. Every window and door ] in the house was tried but they were ] securely fastened. If any of those ] midnight marauders are captured they l will receive l warm reception from 1 the residents of that street. At the same time it would do no harm if a
 policeman would now and then patrol l WoIcott street.
