PANIC AVERTED.
Fire in Exposition Building While
Roosevelt Was Speaking.

Cincinnati, Sept. 20.-The unus
ually successful celebration of Roose-
welt day at the Cincinnati fall festi-
val came near being marred with
panic that would have caused count
less loss of life.
1t is estimated that over 8, 600 peo-
pie were packed into the auditorium
when the president began speaking.
At the same time the exposition
halls adjoining were crowded with
people viewing the exhibits. as they
were unable to gain admittance in
Music hall.
After the president had been speak
ing about fifteen minutes there was
great commotion III Mechanical hall,
adjacent to Music hall on the north.
The sparks from an electric wire
had set curtain on fire and the fire
department had been called to the
scene.
The police and the attendants of
the exposition soon put out the fire,
but they had much more trouble in
calming the alarmed crowd, and it
was with great difficulty that Capt.
J. B. Foraker. son of the senator, and
one of the officers of the day headed
off the fire department from rushing
into the building.
Happily one of the bands struck up,
and those who left the auditorium
were supposed to be going out to stop
the band rather than to head off
panic. Very few in the auditorium
where the president was speaking
knew anything about the incident,
and the president suffered only a
slight interruption, without knowing
what caused it.

Inconsistencies.

In perusing copy of a monthly
journal devoted to the encourage
ment of youthful ambitions short
time ago, I was struck by an IL
lustration on the outer cover. The
picture portrays a snowy jungle,
sombre and desolate. In the FORE
ground there is a large tree, re-
Gently felled and cut into proper
lengths; here and there a snow
bird fits about looking for food;
on a stump near the center lies a
pair of huge flannel and black
leather mittens, and standing with
one foot on the fallen tree-trunk

is Abraham Lincoln. He has q
volume in both hands and appears
to be reading eagerly. In the dis

resemblance to a chap that used
to cell near me, but I must have
been mistaken, as this party claimed
he had studied medicine in India
and Germany and had taken up
his present abode on account of
his warm heart. His business, he
said, was being conducted at an
awful sacrifice, so it was case Of
mistaken identity undoubtedly.
On another occasion I noticed
an ad showing two pictures of the
same person who had been taking
some of DR.. So and Sos medicine.
The first showed a haggard look

the setting sun. The sketch is
entitled, "Lincoln Training for
Greatness" and underneath, "Get
ready and maybe the chance will
come"
After gazing awhile, 1 asked N.Y.
self this question: Is not such an
illustration misleading and untrue
to life? Candor compelled an af-
frmative answer. For instance, if
Lincoln were working for himself
he would have split his wood and
gone home to read his book, in
stead of standing knee-deep in
snow, with heavy scarf around
his neck and fur hat on his head.
And again, the light was so poor
that it was impossible to read at
all. IF he was working for some
body else he was certainly not
benefting his employers timber
interests by reading book. [
finally came to the conclusion that
Lincoln never acquired his great
ness by any such proceedings; he
was too sensible. I can imagine
how elated any lumberman would
be to come up suddenly, behind one
of his employees and discover that
instead of chopping the wood he
was posting himself on the funda-
mental wherefores. I believe he
would have an opportunity to con-
tinue his researches in another
cline.

raised hand toward his cheek,
and in voice husky with varied
emotion, whispered:
Bonnie, what's your papa's
name?"

small voice.
"Bennie," said the burglar lean
ing closer to him, what do they
say about your Uncle Billy?'
"Oh! papa, he tells Aunt Marcy,
it's no use-Uncle Billy is oster-
oyster % the white forehead
wrinkled as he hunted for the
word.
ooh! you mean ostracized, inter-
jected the burglar.
"Yes-that's it, oystersized.'' re-
piled Bennie-'' then Aunt Marcy
she kyes and says, you ought to
fordet some day."
Bennie's burglar swept hand
across his eyes, and rose quickly
to his feet. He took from a trou-
sers pocket a half dollar; then fun
bling inside for paper to wrap it
up in, as the coin was old and
greasy, he said hurriedly, "Now
Bennie there's my last half dollar
that is, [ have more at home, :"
he lied glibly-"and [ want you
not to tell any one about the cleo
trio light man-till tomorrow at
least" he added with SILVER. "I'll
come again and fix the lights some
day." He waited long enough to
see the curly head snuggle down
in it's nest, and, as the cuckoo on
the mantle told it's tale of mid
night, he slid noiselessly through
the window and disappeared.
Next morning there was quite a
sensation in the house. Bennie,
somewhat depressed by the air of
anxiety and CONSERVATION pervad-
ing the household, related his
story in a faltering treble, as he
handed the small parcel to his
father. The wrapper proved to be
the face of a recently dated en-
velope, while on it was written the
name of William A. Wentworth.
It had been mailed in care of
cheap Bowery lodging house.
That same night a tall fair man,
clearly shaven, and rehabilitated
in an evening suit that he wore
with grace, stood talking to Ben
MES father in the drawing room.
An odd smile of welcome bright
ened his face as Bonnie danced
into the room and stood stock still

bedizened Punch lying on the rug.
Rattle-rattle- rattle!-he held his
breath for a moment. A pair Of
wondering blue eyes opened and a
baby voice, calm in it's innocence,
lisped, "Who s you?' He thought
rapidly-"Why! I'm the electric

growing confidence in his voice,

reached up to the chandelier and
turned one Of the black buttons

circuit with pair of insulated
pliers as he came over the porch.
With an impulse he could not &C
count for he sat down on the edge
of the tiny cot, and the two stared
hard at each other for a space.
Bonnie, more than assured by the
manly presence, opened his lips to
speak, but the electric light man.
stopped him with question.
whats your name, son?'
"Bennie," came in a hushed
silence from the pillows.
$50, Bonnie, do you happen to
know where the keys to the side
board are?" Bonnie thought the
butler usually turned them in at
night, but as his mamma and papa
we're away he thought maybe his
mamma might have left them be-
hind. His plump little legs were
half out of bed before the man had
time to restrain him and explain
to him that sit was not of much
account anyway"
Bennie grew confidential after
this and told him all about his
parents-his Aunt Margy-his
Uncle Billy whom he had never
seen, but whom he had heard
much about-how his bonne had
gone off and left him alone, and
had never told him his "fa' ey sto'y,
not unce, not unce tonight" The
electric light man. certainly
acted strangely. He knew he had
no business pursuing the dilatory
tactics incident to the moment.
He had come for pelf; he knew
now where it was, and he could
find the means Of opening it's
guardian without noise but the
charm of artlessness and innocence
was too strong for him-the child
held him in a bondage of silken
gossamer whose threads tied him
as securely as tho he were cased in
triple steel. Battered and scared
as he was from the lashings of a
misspent, broken life, his hungry
soul drank from this chalice of
purity, as tho it were his last
draught. Picking up the broken
Punchinello from the floor, and
idly smoothing out the furnished
gilt of the disheveled manikin, he
said, ''Bennie, I'll tell you fairy
story; it's one my mother used to
repeat to me, over and over again,
when I was little boy like you. ,"
Bennie sat bolt upright in bed, his
red lips wide apart and a half
smile of childish expectancy dim
ping his face.
"Well'-the burglar began in
dreamy, reminiscent voice, as if
trying to recall scene, remote in
the misty past, ''once upon time,
way, way, far out in the blue sea,
