That is just like my daughter. She

and Greek. In one and a half years
she had forgotten the whole thing, and
I had spent several hundred more IN
teaching her the useful things she had
failed to learn during her school
course. What can't stand is a girl
learning a smattering of all sorts Of

Retter Curing OF Hay.

There ought to be more attention
paid to the better curing of hay than
to getting through with the job. When
more hay is cut than can be handled
properly the cattle and the horses suf
fer from having to subsist on second
class feed. And if the hay is market
ed the price offered is based on quality
rather than On quantity On recent
railway jaunt the writer saw about
forty acres that had been all cut at
one time; then two days rain came
and the hay was converted into ferti-
lizer to be plowed under in the fall

LOUISVILLE FIRE
 CAUSES BIG LOSS
Old Masonic Temple Destroyed
 By the Flames
THE DAMAGE IS S25O,OOO
Blaze Wipes Out Historic Structure In Very Heart of the Retail District. Many Business Firms
 Are Also Losers.

Louisville, November 2O.-Fire early to- day destroyed the old Masonic Temple, occupying half of the block, bound by Fourth Fifth, Green and Jefferson streets, in the heart of the retail bus mess district. The loss is about quar- ter of million dollars, divided as fol- lows:
 Masonic Temple building, 125,OOO; insur- ance S65.O00
 Hopkins Theater, scenery and proper ties, $2O,000.
 J. W. Fowler Drug company, $35,00o; in- surance s14OO0.
 Byck Bros, shoes $1500O.
 Boston Shoe Company, S15,0OO
 Manufacturers Shoe company. S5OOO.
 Rodgers & Krull, jewellers $4O,OOO.
 Chas. B. Smiths Son, natter, s15,0OO; insurance $11,OOo.
 J. T. Johnson & Co.,, opticians, 5000.
 Heaths billiard parlor. $75Oo; insurance $5OOO.
 English Kitchen restaurant S1000.
 w. D. Gatchell & Co.,, photographs sup plies, $250O.
 Badgeley x OrandIn, pnoloSldpHiC sup plies, $2500.
 The fire is supposed to have started in the scenery on the stage of the theater. The loss to the tenants of the buildings will be heavier than ordinary owing to the high rate charged for insurance. The Underwriters made a rate of $3.S5 be- cause of the construction of the build ing, and because of the fact that it con- tained a theater. The heavy expense or carrying insurance caused the owners to carry as small amount as they considered safe and several were unable to place as much as they desired because of the un- willingness of the insurance companies to handle the risk. There were seven acts on at the Hop kins theater this week and the people presenting them lost their effects. Harry Howard, whose home is in Bloomington Ills lost several dogs and monkeys and the Kaufman troupe is short fourteen high priced bicycles. The theater is owned by Col. John D. Hopkins of St. Louis
 The building, which was erected in 1S64 is a total loss. At one time it was the principal theater of Louisville and all the famous actors and actresses of the day made their appearance there. The ma sonic fraternity recently dedicated tenn pie at Fourth and Chestnut and had re- moved all their effects to their new home.
 The building was owned by Laurence and Sanders Jones, who had recently ex- pended nearly $4O,O00 on improvements.
