Blank, irregular walls, blackened and

1875 o'clock, Sheriff Twichell happen-
ed to glance out of side window and
saw light in the southwest room on
the second floor of the courthouse an
mex. He stepped out into the yard and
found that the building was on FIRE. He
immediately telephoned an alarm to the
station, but the phones were evidently
not working, as it was fully ten min-
utes before he got into communication
with. the FIRE station Arousing Jani-
tor John Petit, whose bedroom is in
the basement Of the old courthouse, the
two men, with other assistance mus
tered, started in to fight the flames.
Mr.. Petit ran at once to the second
floor of the courthouse, where he
strung the emergency hose attached to
the hydrant in the main corridor. There
was sufficient hose at hand to pass the
line through the district courtroom to
the room in which the fire originated,
but the pressure was very poor and
the fame, which was not more than
twenty feet distant, could scarcely be
reached by the stream. He remained
at his post, however, until the ceiling

an hour the whole interior Of the build
ing was seething mass Of fame, DANG
ing and cracking in its mad work Of
destruction.
The FIRE was first discovered about
1918 last night. When the flames had
gained the fullness of their fury about
forty-6ve minutes later, the old clock
in the courthouse dome, which for
years had tolled off the hours by day
and by night, slowly and sorrowfully
counted off, as one would chant a, sad
requiem, the hour of eleven. The dials
on the face accurately registered the
time until asfew minutes before mid
night, when the dome, with an awful
crash, tottered and tumbled back into

Women in High Positions.
from the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
One Of the largest railroad corporations
in this country has decided that the female
stenographers in its employ will not be al
lowed to qualify for promotion nor shall
they be eligible for its pension list. This
ia a sweeping decision, and probably repre-
sents sentiment other than that OF the cor
poration. Fifty years ago no one imagined
that a woman could be a stenographer, and
the idea of their entering the ranks Of men
to compete in heavier brain work would
have been regarded as ridiculous. 1t cannot
be said that they have conquered every
branch Of endeavor, but they have done
wonders in the third of a century. and they
may even dissipate the prejudice of this
western railway corporation before the half
of the present century is reached.
The reason Cor their exclusion may come
from the employees. The aggressiveness OF
women has in number OF instances led to
combinations Of their fellow male workers
against them-a kind Of self-defense move
ment which can scarcely be criticised Sc
verely, for the women have pushed the men
out of some occupations which formerly
belonged to them exclusively. The ma
tority of clerical railroad positions can
hardly be said to be beyond the capacity of
bright. brainy women: the management,
however, may have inferred that those Sc
lected for the higher Offices are often drawn
from these clerical departments, and there
have been notable instances of such cases

From Good Housekeeping.
Most of the mental devices for wooing

somnia. Even deep breathing which Is
forced. is better than any purely mental at

After several nights Of experiment to this
end the present writer decided to apply the
