in the afternoon, and the tireless feet Of
Jim tramped close behind them all along
the long march. The merry fellows were
mounted, and when the horses galloped.
Jim ran. They could not get beyond his
close line of vsion.
His JOY was complete, when, later on in
The afternoon, the boys designated him as
4 committee of one to gather up all of the
stray barrels and boxes of the village for
the evenings bonfire on the village green.
He had no money to invest in fre-crackers
Or other fireworks, but he was privileged to
see the display, and it was his proud dis
tinction to start the fire in the evening
and keep it supplied with fuel.
With glad and bright eyes he watched
the sizzling and popping of the crackers, the
loud kissing and bursting of the rockets, and
chased wildly about after the devil
dancers"
Merriment was at its height, when cries
of fire were heard. There was but one fire
engine in the village, and this was pumped
by hand. There were no waterworks and
dependence had to be had upon the wells.
All of the houses were of wood, and a
strong wind prevailing, there was imminent
danger that the entire village would be
consumed. 1t was decided that in order to
stay the progress of the flames it would be
necessary to blow up with gunpowder the
church, from which Jim had been forcibly
expelled that morning.
The head was removed from a keg of the
explosive, and the same was placed beneath
The doomed edihce.
But little later the wind shifted, and it
was no longer thought necessary to destroy
the church. There, however, was the pow
der, likely to explode at any moment from
aying sparks, of which the air was full. Vol
unteers were eagerly called for to remove
the menacing powder, but there was no re-
sponse.
Presently the matter was brought to the
attention of Jim, who without a moments
hesitation, rushed into the condemned
building, seized the filled keg and ran with it
to nearby well, into which he cast it, and
the danger was passed. In the short Jour-
ney he made the air was literally filed with
dying sparks, and 1t seemed little short
Of a miracle that some one of them did not
reach the exposed powder as he bore it
along.
Jim was at loss to understand why he
should have been made hero of, or that the
next day the grateful people should have
presented him with brand-new suit of
clothes and a nice little purse of money. To
him his daring act was but an incident in
the many OF the da.-, which be decided in
lis own mind to be the greatest and most
glorious in his zney~ntful life.

Jim Casey's Fourth
The Most Glorious Day IN a
Mountain Boys Life.

u IN CASEY had come down from his
IA mountain home to attend the school
81 in the village of Clayton, which rest
ed in a lovely valley in West Viz
ginia.
The boys had been talking for weeks
about the approaching Fourth, and the
royal fun they expected to have, and the
heart of Jim leaped expectantly. He was.
a tall, awkward lad of II, whose ig-
norance of the ways of the village
and general lack OF knowledge made
him a butt of ridicule by his fell
lows, but he was so good natured that this
did not concern him much, as the boys
really liked him, and their practical jokes
were of harmless kind.
As a special mark of honor and favor,
he was assigned to the duty of ringing the
bell of the Baptist church, beginning at the
midnight hour.
His companions did not think it M cessary
to inform him that the sexton, crusty old
fellow, had refused to permit the bell TO
be rung, and that he had promised thrash
ing to any one who should ring it.
Following instructions, Jim forced a side
door, and was pulling the bell rope mer-
rily, and the loud peals sounded out above
those of the other bells, when he was
seized by the irate guardian of the church,
WHO cuHeu MS ears until he nearQ ndl1 q
hundred bells ringing anything but merry
tunes.
He was brave lad, though, and said not
word of his punishment as he joined the
other boys and followed them about the
dark streets, the silence of which they broke
repeatedly by explosions from the old fash
Toned horse pistols which they carried, and
his joy was nearly complete when one of
his companions permitted him to shoot one,
after it had received six or seven charges of
powder. That the pistol at its discharge
flew backward, narrowly missing the head
of a playmate, and left his fingers in a
sadly benumbed condition for hours after
ward, was reckoned by him as one of the to-
be-expected events of the day, and his laugh
over the mishap was as hearty as that of
any of his fellows.
There was procession of "ragamufins''

by deep belt of glace stitched many
times, and position basque was
also constructed of the glace, stitch
ed, tucked and striped with braid. A
yoke collar of guipure lace harmon
lied with strip of similar lace as
heading to the shaped flounce that
footed the skirt.
Foulard is again worn a good deal,
the satin-faced variety monopolizing
favor. Embroidered lawn is a good
trimming for foulard, but here as
elsewhere lace comes first.
More airy fabrics are used under
various fanciful names. One is be-
Digit satin crepe de chine, another
crepe mOusseline. Many of the finest
silks and satins, too, are used simply
as under-dresses for yelling with net,
silk, muslin or lace. True it is that
this yelling is so ENTHUSIASTICALLY

ARE HARD DRINKERS
Many Congressman Indulge Too
Freely in Wet Goods.
Total Abstainers Are Few and Far
Between-Interestin Talk with
an Old Warrington Hotel
Clerk.
Especial Washington letter.

he only pays $40 per
month";" said hotel clerk, pointing
to one of the older members of the
house of representatives. Continu-
ing he said:
The proprietor was very angry
with me when l told him the low rate
/ had made, and insisted that I should
change it to SIS per month. l told
him that l knew my business as
room clerk better than he did. That
man spends upwards of $500 each
month at our bar, buying drinks for
himself and for his friends.
HE is a strange sort of man, and L
knew exactly how to take him when.
Der. / had entertained him at an
other hotel. He is stingy about his
room and board, and stingy about his
clothing, always having a cheap tailor
or buying ready-made clothes but he
is a spendthrift when it comes to
gratifying his appetite for whisky.
Moreover, he wants jolly drinking
fellows around him, and he treats the
crowds, no matter how big they may
be-" Then, swelling himself with
pride and conceit, the clerk said:
There are very few hotel clerks
who have the sense to think of the
bar room and Billiard room in max
ing rates for their guests. I'd rather
take in a drinking man at low
rate, than a temperance man at u
high rate. There is more profit in
liquor than in food and hence it's
better for the house to have guests
of that sort. The boss realizes that
now, and he lets me make rates to
suit myself for the guests, because l
know all of the congressman, and
nearly all other public men, and L
know their appetites.'
The member of congress who has
the distinction of being pointed out
as statesman who spends money
enough for whisky every month to
support a small family in luxury has
been sent to the national house of
representatives again and again by
his constituents, until he is now
regarded as one of the foremost men
of his party, and his whisky-soaked
brain has had much to do with the
legislation of this republic.
The speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives yields more power, in
some respects, than any other man
in our republic. And yet the writer
has seldom seen that power con-
ferred upon any man whose brain is
entirely and absolutely free from al
cohOlic contamination. The growth
of the temperance spirit in our land
will continue until public sentiment
will make ineligible to high Office any
man whose thinking machinery is
made abnormal by alcohol
For little more than quarter of
a century the writer has watched ma
tional legislation, and in all of that
time there has been but one chair
man of the committee on ways and
means who was. absolutely free from

GOLD FISH IN
WATER TANK

Gold fish in the streams and reser-
voirs of Nuuanu Valley which supply
water for the use of the city residents
are said to menace the health of users.
1t has long been known that the gold
fish abounded in the water sources in
the upper part of the valley but few
of them went through the big mains,
as screens prevented them from enter
ing the openings. The screens, how
ever, did not prevent the passage of
spawn into the mains, thus allowing
them to be distributed in all sections
of the city.
Sftentimes the employees who are in
charge of the works at the supply
places are compelled to use shovels To
remove them, especially after freshet
