A Large Fire at Plain Dealing.

A Large Fire at Plain Dealing.
Nearly all of the business por-
ton of Plain Dealing was destroy
ed by fire last Friday night
Eleven of the principal business
houses of the town were COM
pletely destroyed. Only by almost
superhuman efforts on the part
of every male inhabitant of the
town was the fire gotten under
control, and the town saved from
total destruction.
The fire originated in the store
Of Kronenberg & Safferstone at
9:15, and a few minutes after its
discovery flames burst from all
parts of the building, quickly
spreading to the large warehouse
of the same firm. The store of
j. P. Keeth was the next to catch,
and in quick succession the stores
of S. H. Cochran, E. F. Kirtley,
Meares & Caldwell, W. c. Banks
and G. E. Jones, and Lovelady &
Sons restaurant, were completely
destroyed.
A Plain Dealing special to the
Shreveport Times estimates the
losses by fire as follows:
J. P. Keeth, in his own build
ing, worth $500; stock $4,000;
considerable goods saved, esti-
mated at $1,000; insurance S2950.
S. H. Cochran, in his own build
ing, worth $500; stock $4,000;
probably $1,000 saved; insurance
$4,000.
Postoffice in Cochran store, lost
mail and most of the fixtures;
saved money and part OF stamps;
loss probably 500.
Kronenberg & Safferstone claim
$4,000 stock. They occupied
building belonging to W. B. Boggs
and Farmers Union warehouse;
both were consumed; Boggs' store
! worth $1,000; Farmers Union
warehouse worth $500; no insur-
ance on warehouse; $3.50 on store.
Conservative estimates by other
merchants Of town place the stock
of Kronenberg & Safferstone at
not more than $4,000. Yhey had
$500 insurance. There was saved
of their stock practically nothing;
a few hundred dollars out Of
warehouse.
| Building owned and occupied
by E. F. Kirtley; building worth
$500; stock about $500; insur-
ance $500; about $500 saved.
/ Meares & Caldwell, in store
owned By DR.. r. H. Blackman;
no insurance on store; stock
$500; saved probably $500; in
surance $500.
/ Lovelady & Sons restaurant in
! building of J. O. Nhckolls; build
ing valued at $3.50; no insurance;
loss of Lovelady & Son nominal !;
they were moving out that day.
| Miss EVE Aliens millinery
store, in building of G. W. Jones.
| All stock saved, but damaged by
handling.
| Masonic Hall damaged by fire
and water and moving out para
phernalia, but the building was
saved.
/ Making total destruction Of at
least $4,000 in property, with
only about $4,000 insurance
The goods will, of course, go to
insurance companies, making net
loss of fully $40, 900 to the Plain
Dealing people.

Highways of Straw,

In Walla Walla county, Wash, they
have been trying the plan of spreading
straw upon the highways. 1t keeps
down the dust in summer, and the
roads are better in the winter. Tues
day, Aug. 20, was appointed as STRAW
day" this year, and officers were ap-
pointed in each district to look out for
the straw and tell people where to put
1t. This is modification of the plan
long practiced in some parts of Plym-
outh and Barnstable counties in Mas
sachusetts of putting the limbs and
brush from the pines and other trees
trimmed up. 1t serves the purpose of
keeping the wheels out of the sand in
summer and prevents the roads from
being very muddy in winter and lasts
several years where the travel is not
too great

Magpies and the StOrk.

Once, when joining a shooting party
In England, the German emperor hap
pened to see maybe fly right over his
head. Turning round to the Duke Of
Cambridge, who was with the party,
his majesty said: 81 have just seen n
maybe. Now, I'm not a particularly
superstitious kind Of man, but I don't
like to tumble across these wretched
birds, don't, indeed"
The duke laughed and said cheerful
ly: docs your majesty know our cid
saying concerning the superstition
about magpies? One for sorrow, two
for mirth, three for n wedding, four for
birth Your majesty must look round
for a second or third or a fourth mag
pie"
"Oh, indeedw thoughtfully replied
the kaiser. "a fourth magpie means
birth, does It? But supposing there Is
fifth magpie, what then"
"If you see fifth magpie," answered
the duke, very solemnly, sit means
twins!'

Habitual gamblers are perhaps the
most superstitious persons in the world.
They invariably carry little portable
mascots in their pockets, and it would
be impossible to persuade them 10 en-
ter into q game of chance If, by some
inadvertence, their mascots were not
with them. Jumps of lead, coins,
snake rattles, locks of hair, cauls, bits
Of bone, hairpins-a pile of these things
would be shown If the players in any
stiff poker game were required to re-
veal their mascots.
And each amulet has story con-
nected with 1t. A bullet, for instance,
which one man carries was extracted
from the brain Of a woman who killed
herself on his account A gold hairpin
that Is the mascot of broker fell from
a lady's hair in a theater aisle. He
picked it up and returned It, and the
acquaintance begun thus informally
eliminated in a marriage. A lawyer
Of Wissahickon has for a mascot
coin that was given him by a murderer
on the day the man was hanged. The
mascot catalogue could be continued

The Indian Child,

In tepee life the Indian child is
unique. 1t is given nothing to play
with except the toads that hop about
the tepee doors. 1t has no playmates
except those of its own relation, and 1t
receives but few caresses from its par
ents. The squaw mother is in the habit
of putting her baby to bed at dark
they sleep in little sacks-then she
goes away to dance or something Of
that nature, leaving the child to its
own resources. If it cries, no one
comes to sooth it. So crying has come
to be almost unknown among these
children.

NEW JERSEY HIGHWAYS.
Good Roads Have Added Largely to
Taxable Value of Real Estate.

The new stone roads are doing more
for the development and advantage of
New Jersey than all other causes COM
bined. They are bringing into the
state large and desirable class of new
residents and property holders. Well
to do citizens of New York and Phila-
delphia are buying lands and building
country seats along the lines of these
improved roads.
There have been numerous marked
examples of the effect of these roads
in creating demand for and raising
the price of New Jersey real estate.
On one road. that between Long Branch
and Asbury Park, real estate values
have increased by over $3,OOOOOO since
the road was built. The value of the
real estate on the line of the i'm
proved road through the sand dunes
between Nentnor and Long Port, be-
low Atlantic City, advanced a million
and a half while the road was building.
There have been almost as notable
increases in the values of realty in Es-
sex, Passaic and Morris counties, and
to a less but still very distinct extent
In Somerset, Mercer, Middlesex and
Union. The advance in the taxable
value of the real property throughout
New Jersey by reason of these i'm
proved roads is a very large return
for the investment.
Good roads also bring the markets
nearer to the farms, lessen the wear
and tear of vehicles and horses, double
the loads that can be hauled with the
same traction power and secure better
service from city tradesmen through
the regions they intersect. 1t is a
wise policy to literally support the
good roads movement
