Pleasant Surprise.

Last Wednesday, the 18th, be-

estimable wife conceived the idea
of surprising him with a birthday
dinner, and proceeded to prepare
the feast which consisted of more
good things to eat than could be
mentioned in quite a while. The
neighbors, being invited, were all
present, the writer among the
number, and William coming in
from town at noon found his
house besieged with all kinds of
eatables and eaters. The surprise
was complete and we hope he may
live to have many such surprises.

days snowfall, adding to that already on

creases the chances that there will be Joy
for those who want their HOLIDAYS white.
There is indeed. every indication at pres
ent of hard winter with much snow and
many days of low temperature Weather
wise folks are bringing forth calculations
as to the number of snowfalls this season.
based upon the day of the month of the
first fall, or the number of days elapsins
between that first fall and Christmas.
There is no disputing these forecasts. for
they are founded on an answering faith
and in some cases on records. But they
are not needed to persuade the average OBJ
server that the winter of 19os-5 will be
severe. for it opened early and has already
been marked by an unusual amount of cold
and snow. The hope of all Washingto-
mans is that the season will exhaust its

Shields for Sidewalk Gratings.

Yesterdays fire in a furniture store was
caused it is believed. by the dropping of
match or a cigar or cigarette end through
a sidewalk grating upon some infammable
material stored below. This is not an ex-
ceptional case if the theory is correct. In
deed, several times yearly fires occur from
this cause. Tire gratings are left open for
ventilation and are exposed to the careless
ness of passers, who toss matches and
lighted stubs about without thought for the
consequences. 1t is impossible to Identify
the offenders, who, If caught, should be
punished severely for their Indifference to
the safety and property of others. The i'm
portant point TO bear in mind is some
means of preventing fires from this cause
This can be done by requiring all side
walk gratings to be equipped with screens
or pans to catch articles dropped through
the bars. 1t would seem to be enough to de-
pend upon the enterprise of the merchants
who store goods beneath the sidewalks and
whose interest it is supposedly always to
protect themselves. But unfortunately this
is not sure reliance, for business men will
take chances. If only their own interests
were a stake they might he allowed to run
the risk of loss. But often the lives of 9th
ers depend upon the provisions against fire,

forced regulation requiring this eallipment
would no doubt prevent several blaz eacb
