tor Harris overhears the conversation,
but gives no sign when he joins Cor
don and Barton. Harris offers Gordon
$500 a month to edit a slum reform

Gordon asks his father to destroy his
illegal, insanitary tenements, but Is
repulsed. Luella's father, who owns
the worst dumb-bell tenement, visits 1t

learns that Barton has been sending
consumptives to Colorado at his own

Louie Caylor, a victim of the barbar-
Gus tenement system. Gordon and
Randall oppose each other concerning
the funeral arrangements, and Gordon
defeats the boss. Gordon arranges a
decent funeral. The dumbell tenement,
owned by Luella's father, catches fire.
There is a terrible holocaust. Among
the victims Is Mrs. Caylor, Louie's
mother. Hope House is saved by des-
perate efforts. Barton, Gordon and
Miss Andrews do heroic work at the
fire and Barton collapses.

DAYS stand IN the streets here and

the beauty Of the city.
There is one street in South Salem

trees recently. that have stood a

shade
They were not his trees. They be-
lDnged 20 the public. They stood In
the street. objects Of beauty. shelter
and shade. Yet the vandsl hand of
grasping. uneivilized rOoter stretched
them low and burned them
There is a street in South Salem
that should be called Fir street, IL that
Is not already so named. Grand and
beautiful firs. some Of them IS feet
high. line either side OF the street a
hundred feet or more apart.
They are planted on the edges Of
the street. as IL set out artificially.
One OF these was cut down the past
few weeks Yet that street belongs
TO the public
The beauty OF our city should not
thus be marred. and until the city
boundaries are extended over these
suburbs the county court should for.
bid cutting all trees that stand on the
afraafa An the quHurhe
Under the new city charter a Park
Board will have control Of these trees.
Until that board Is appointed private

A Mile Ride on "A wild Moose.

j. D. Campbell, a wealthy citizen of
Duluth, Mimi, recently had an eXcit-
ing ride on the back of n huge bull
moose forty miles north of Duluth.
says the Chicago Record Herald. Camp
bell and a party of three others were
hunting in the big swamp when sud
denly they came upon the moose.
Campbell mounted its back with sin
gle leap, and away went the terrified
animal through the thicket and brush.
Campbell, who had expected no serious
danger from his performance, chung
desperately to his position on the ami
NAL, which after wild run of a mile
or more plunged into a slough. where
the moose sank to its stomach, and its
rider discounted in safety, finally kill
ing the moose with one shot.

contest. says the Minneapolis Times.
Each will serve a dinner of seven

in cooking without the use of liquors.
while Petit contends that many vi

dash of brandy or wine. The contest
will not only test the skill of the men,
but show whether fine cooking can be
done on lines of teetotaIism. A con-
test like that is worth while. We
