If ever household affections and loves are
graceful things, they are graceful in the
poor. The ties that bind the wealthy and
the proud to home may be forged on earth,
but those which link the poor man to his
humble hearth are of the true metal. and

trophies of his birth and power; the poor

Ocean Fish On a Hlll Ton.

A large school Of small, fully devel-
oped salt water fish was found on TOP
of Jersey Creek hill, two miles west of
Redding, Cal. The fish covered nearly
an acre OF the hill, and were fully 15C
feet above highest water mark. They
resemble a shad in shape, but average
in length only two inches. They are
evidently of full growth, as scales and
eye ring denote. The only theory ad.
vanced for their appearance is that
they were carried up from the ocean
80 miles distant and dropped on Jenny
Creek hill during the heavy rain that
took place recently. The discovery Of
the fish was made by D. Bruner of San
Francisco, and has been vouehed for
by reputable citizens.-New York

zone reason for this IS the rule OF
the Washington police to run out Of
town suspicious characters AID to keep
on eye constantly open for the real
things who may be known. But there
is one point / wish 10 impress upon
our residents as TO the disposition OF
tho Jewels and valuables and It IS
this: Persons who have jewelry OF
any kind upon removing It from the
person at night are prone 10 throw 1t
down upon the bureau OF upon some
similar conspicuous place in the room.
They feel, Of course, that the valuables
are safe from theft as regards the in
mates Of the house, and as a rule such
is the case, but 1t does not follow that
they are safe from the burglars hands.
Money and jewels should never be
thus carelessly laid aside, even for the
night. Some receptacle should be had
for them, and neither the jewels nor
the RECEPTACLE should be placed In a
bureau drawer, as is so often the case
The thief banks upon this well-known
habit, and knows exactly where to look
for the goods he is hunting.
"He also knows that men as a rule
carry their rolls of money in their
trousers pockets, and these are usually
hung close to the bed So many hauls
/ Of money and jewelry are made, the
thief escaping Undecided, that they
| ought to make people more careful,
but it would appear that such is not
the case.
1T is a very easy matter to drop
lady's jewels in a small bag, and to
place this under the pillow at night,
as it is easy for the man of the house
to place his wad in the same position.
! Again, in the event of a fire, scattered
iewelry cannot be gathered up from
the dressing table where it has been
thrown the night before haphazard. A
thief can clean out u room of all that
Is worth stealing while its occupants
sleep, but he cannot reach under a
pillow or a mattress without waken-
ing the sleepers-in TACT, he will not
try.
Some people advocate the small
safe or an iron box as a receptacle,
but they have never found favor with
me, because the visible presence of a
safe is a temptation to crack it, an
easy and quiet job, as rule, as re-
CARDS house Safes while a box can be
picked up and readily carried off I'M
der the thiefs arm. There is no place
absolutely secure from a good cracks
man, except a safe deposit vault, and
these we don't have about the house
like refrigerators.
"The pillow or mattress protection
is the best. In the case of a fire the
mind would instantly revert to the
hidden valuables, and they could be
grabbed easily before fight down the
FIRE escape or the hall staircase. -.

IN BARRATT INCIDENT
Facts in Dispute Between
the Public School
Teacher and Board.

Anaconda, March Ia-The statements
printed in weekly publication OF notori-
Gus character and which attacked the board
OF education because Of trouble Miss Bar
rait, local teacher, claims she has had
with the school trustees and the superin
tendent proves to be entirely false, ac-
cording to the records of the school board.
IT was asserted that the board had with
held a check from the teacher because OF
no good purpose and through prejudice.
The facts in the case are that part OF
the salary OF the teacher was withheld be-
cause the superintendent had reported her
as being late TO her duties and because she
had failed to attend teachers meetin,
when notified, according to the rules and
regulations.
The check, after a deduction of $2.so.
was made out for Miss Barratt declares
the school trustees, and for some weeks it
has remained on the desk Of the boards
clerk awaiting Miss Barratt. 1t is said
she has failed to call for the check and
consequently it still remains in the school
trustees rooms. The trustees say thew
never heard of any dispute regarding the
amount the check should call for as Miss
Barratt had never made complaint or an
appeal to the board in the matter.

work of the fire fighters, however. was Of
little avail. as there was but one hydrant
10 be used and before even that could be
put into commission additional hose was
necessarily sent for. The chemical engine
did some good work in saving part Of
the chute. The damage is estimated by
the Butte, Anaconda K Pacific company's
officials at about $4,000, the greater part
OF which is likely covered by insurance.
The fire originated in the coal bins il
is thought, from a spark thrown from a
passing switch engine. Immediately above
the coal chutes on a high trestlc stood
two steel cars. The fire rapidly consumed
the tmbcrs supporting the trestle, and
within a few moments after the blaze got
good headway the cars, with their massive
weight, swayed heavily and with crash
tumbed to the ground, covering coal and
wood beneath them.
The boxcars which burned were stand
ing alongside the tresile, where they were
PLACED after having been cmptied at the
freight house some hours before.
The fire has caused great deal Of in
convenience to the railroad company, ow-
ing to the fact that the chutcs which were
burned were used for the purpose Of sup
plying coal to the engines and coaches
used on the road. II will be necessary,
