Drip Cup For Candlesticks.

While the inventor Of the drip cup
for catching the melted wax from light
ed candles states that he has designed
the cup especially for use by priests iE,
administering the blessings of st.
Blaise, the device will serve equally as
well for ornamental candles at the bar
quet and those used for more practical
purposes. In the first instance the
shield protects the clothing from fall
ing grease, which, the inventor claims,
would be unavoidable otherwise on ac-
count of the way the candles are held

1T CATCHES THE MELTED WAX.

As here seen, the shield has been
placed over an ordinary candle, with
section removed to give view Of the
interior construction. The central tube
which surrounds the candle is contract
ed around the top, where it rests on the
wax, extending downward until it joins
the fariHg member to form a pocket to
catch the grease. ~As the entire weight
rests On the contracted portion around
the fame, the shield will gradually
slide down the candle as the latter
burns, catching the wax instead Of
letting it drip. from the candle or run
down the sides to form an unsightly
mass on the candlestick.

THINGS TO EAT.
How the Reseusrs Were Supplied
With Provisions.

Things to eat for the fremen and
brave men who were working to save
people in North Topeka were secured
partially from the basement of the in
undated Parkhurst-Davis Mercantile
company. A bridge was built through
a basement window of the big Park
hurst-Davis building, and dozens of
books Of crackers were brought out
and taken to North Topeka. Along
with them were whole cheeses, bologna
sausage, and anything else to satisfy
hungry men.
The boxes contained fine crackers put
up in pasteboard cartons, and they
were joyfully received by the cold and
hungry laborers.
Coffee and sandwiches were served to
the men on this side of the river. On
the North side, a few bottles of whisky
were served out to the water soaked
men and refugees. The whisky was
not passed around promiscuously, but
was served out in small portions by a
prominent doctor of Topeka and it was
needed.
Late in the afternoon. a boat, heav-
lily loaded with crackers and cheese, set
out for the B Street Baptist church, in
which fifty or a hundred colored peo-
pie had taken refuge. The supplies were
taken to them in lieu of a rescue, which
at the time was impossible.

Parsons went to Chief Goh's house
about IL O'Clock Saturday morning.
Taking Mrs. Golf and child with him lie

was then the rescue point. The COTS
were at 712 West Morse street, well into
west North Topeka. Parsons being A
skillful oarsman the party Jared well
until it cOllided with a submerged tree,
the branches of which promptly careen-
ed the boat in the swift current. The
three were thrown into the water in
the middle of the street.
With great presence of mind Parsons
caught both the boat and the woman
and towing them. swan to a tree. IN
assisting Mrs. Frazier to climb the tree
he was compelled to release the boat,
which was non-sinkable and would have
been of great further service. The boat
belonged to Ed MacLennan who used
it for fishing and duck hunting.
Then Parsons did a brave thing.
Loosing his hold from the tree he
breasted the swift current and swan the
distance of a dozen or more yards to a
house whose second story windows We're
at the waters edge There he broke in
window, entered and secured blankets
with which he made his way back to
the tree, tying his charges to the tree
in which they hung.

placed them in the North Topeka fire

placed a greater number of people in the
fire station than any other boatman
although he makes no boast of his res
