A PLUCkY FIREMAN

Reseues An Entire Family From suf-
location in Richmond Blaze.
Richmond, Va, March 25.-A mother,
father, infant and servant were res
cued by firemen from suffocation In a
fire which occurred early yesterday
morning. The family were all asleep
ut the time their lives were endan-
gered. The household consisted of r.
l.. Charles. his wife and infant son,
and servant named Rosa Carter.
Fireman E. II. Harris reached the
third floor by means Of a ladder. He
found the room dense with smoke and
the family fast becoming suffocated.
He snatched up the baby, wrapped IL
in his coat and handed it to another
fireman then on the ladder, who car
ried it to place of safety. Returning,
Mr.. Harris wrapped Mrs. Charles IN a
quilt and then carried her to the win
dow and handed her to a third fireman,
who landed her In safety. Mr.. Charles
was then awakened and descended the
ladder with the assistance OF Fireman
Harris.
The servant when aroused became so
excited that she started to climb down
the ladder head first and would have
been dashed to pieces on the ground
below but for iremen who set her
right and assisted her in reaching the
street.

KLEPTOMANIA CURE.
Instead of Having Them Arrested,
London ShopISeeper Admin listers
Spanking to ShopIifters.

A London shopkeeper is credited
with having adopted a novel and sue
cessful method of dscouraging the
feminine habit of shoplifting. The
reported result is a standing reproach
to those scientists who talk about
''kleptomania," and offer all sorts Of
excuses for ladies who habitually pick
up small but valuable articles on
bargain counters when the clerk is nc
looking.
The shopkeeper's method when a
lady has been detected with the goods
on her" is to conduct her to his office
and offer her the choice between ar
rest and being then and there sum-
marily spanked. The medical frater-
nifty will be shocked to learn that all
of the 20 women to whom this propo-
sition was made thankfully accepted
the alternative of a spanking.
The shopkeeper wishes it understood
that ne did not administer this pun
ishment personally. He called in a
vigorous woman employe about the

TRAGEDY OF A KISS.
Chicago Mnn Slaps Girl who Kisses
His Lips and Is Fined Five
Dollars.

A man in Chicago holds the sanctitN
of his lips above pearls and rubies.
He says that he has his faults, but
no woman shall kiss Him living. What
she does when he has died in defending
the only once kissed place under his
nose he does not care.
Thirty years old, says the Chicago
American, he has gone straight down
the middle of the road, looking as.
kance at the primrose path and stuff
ing his ears with cotton to keep out
the songs of the sirens. His name is
William Gaunwald.
Miss Annie Williams, of 95 Wells
street, loves him. She has fought
against it in vain. Last Thursday
morning she looked at him with her
soul in her eyes; then, swayed by i'm

he went to bed. 1t was not a case of a
folding bed, but of folding sleeper.
he did the folding; the bed couldn't.
With his home furnished the ex-cab
driver turned his attention 10 making
a livelihood. He had his whip. That
IS all that tickle fortune had left him
from the wreck of his seagoing hack.
With this whip he could play tunes.
Any number of Partisan cab drivers
can do this. The tunes are not strictly
and technically musical. An orchestra
of whip players would never do as an
accompaniment to grand opera. but
still 1T is amusing and people will pay
to hear good whip player.
NJ. Ratelet therefore took his whip
and betook himself to neighboring
fairs and gatherings of country peo-
pie. He played on the whip before
large audiences and collected a few
pennies at every performance. He has
a repertoire of 20 different songs and
airs with which he entertains the folks
at fairs and fetes. The practical dem
onstrations he can give of his skill are
most entertaining. He can render the
French national air in a way calculated
to bring tears to the eyes of the true
French patriot. Then he was able to
do any number of what are known as
odd jobs" That brought him in a
little more money.
Altogether he was in possession of a
respectable income before long for a
man who lived in a barrel, but he did
not give up his mode of life. He still
resides in the barrel. He never has had
to buy furniture on the instaIlment
plan. You wouldn't have to spend 500
TO furnish his fiat; you could do it for
four cents.
If he earns few pennies day that
sufices to buy a sausage, a loaf of
bread, a bottle of wine, and some to-
bacco for cigarettes. Nothing more is
required to make the ex-cab driver
perfectly happy.

pulse, she threw her arms about his
neck and kissed him resoundingly.
Gaunwald staggered from the shock.
For a moment he was too horror
stricken to do anything but gasp.
Then, every instinct of insulted mod
esty rising fiercely, he slapped Miss
Williams, saying: Take that, nowl"
She wept and had him arrested.
This girl kissed me-" he said TO
Justice Kersten. "I was not expecting
such a thing. I was totally UMPIRE

no warning at all. She just violently

LIVES IN A BARREL.

cred in Paris.
Once He Was n Cab Driver, But Nov
I NJ. Ratchet Is IA Philosopher Who
Makes Less Wise Men Sup
port Him.

Diogenes the Second has been found.
I You will remember Diogenes the
First. He lived something over 1000
years ago and requested Philip of
Macedon, or was it his son Alexander?
to get out of his sunshine and thus
make his life completely happy. Do
genes the First lived in tub and said
bitter things about men in general
Diogenes the Second lives in a barrel
and cracks whip for living.
Diogenes the Second is a Frenchman.
BE used to be a cab driver, but he had
bad luck and he gave up his profession.
BE still cracks a whip, but he does that
at county fairs and the like, and he
plays tunes on it.
NJ. Ratelet is the modern tub dweller,
only his tub is barrel. He took to this
mode of living from necessity at first.
he now sticks to it from choice He
was one of the thousands of Partisan
cab drivers who are said to live by
legalized piracy on Americans.
/ If they be, then NJ. Ratelet was not
,piratical enough. His seagoing hack
did not make enough captures to JUS
tify him in living. So he quit the bust
ness. He found piece of waste ground
ut Champigny, not far from Paris,
and he also found barrel. He bricked
over the top of this, having laid it
9engthwise on the ground and left an
opening into which he could crawl.
This was cheaper than trying to rent
q steam-heated fiat. You probably
know how hard it is TO find a suita BILE
nat with the desired exposure and the
proper kind of bathroom. There have
been times, no doubt, when you would
have been ready to crawl into a tub or
barrel just to escape the trouble of
house hunting.
| M. Ratelet probably had had all
fhose experiences. He did not have
any money and he probably did not
care to move every month to save the
rent. So he fixed up the barrel Lucki-
~ it was large barrel about the hogs
head size, but even at that it was neces-
sary for NJ. Ratchet to double up when
