lroquois Anniversary

Last Friday was the first anniversary
of the Iroquois horror at Chicago. 1t
was marked by memorial service at
willard Hall and all Chicago mooined
with the relatives of the 575 who per-
ished in that terrible fire. A move
ment has been started to build q mon
ume-t to the dead in the shape of a
down town hospital.
The fire started at 80 in the after-
noon Of December so, 1893. The house
was filled to overnowing with . happy,
holiday crowd. chiefly women, and
children. Something about the seen
ery caught fire. the asbestos curtain
~ould't work and a whitening fame
shot out over the audience. The exits
were inadequate and obscure and the
escape of large crowd impossible. In
twenty minutes the hot blast had done
its deadly work and that night 572
bodies lay in the morgue. Later three
more deaths occurred making 575 in
all. OF those who escaped death it is
estimated 40 were seriouly injured.
Damage suits are now pending
against the owners and those in charge
aggregating 81 $4,000
The effect Of this fire on theatre go-
ing was most disastrous. not only in
Chicago. but the country over. In
Chicago it wac months before the other
theatres had full houses.
The Iroquois has been rebuilt snd is
safer and finer than ever. yet it rents
for two dollars year and the manage
mens is losing money
A crusade for better protection and
better exits in public places swept the
country and many improvements were
forced but the Iroauois disaster was
year ago and modern crusades don t
last last long.

no Not Limit Your Ability.

Poverty and failure are self invited.
The disaster people dread often comes
to them. Worry and anxiety enfeeble
their force of mind and so blunt their
creative and productive faculties that
they are unable to exercise them prop
erly. Fear of failure or lack of faith
in ones ability is one of the most po-
tent causes of failure. Many people oil
splendid powers have attained only
mediocre success. and some are total
failures. because they set bounds 10
their achievement, beyond which they
did not allow themselves TO think that
they could pass. They put limitations
to their ability; they cast stumbling
blocks in their way by aiming only at
mediocrity or predicting failure for
themselves, talking their wares down
instead of UP. diSparaging their bust
ness and bclittling their p0wers.-O. >

From the one ring Of the past they
have grown TO three rings. plus an ele-

improvements. But IN one particular
there has been no change since time

the ring. \ circus ring is always the

never find circus ring with different

aGie ts IN LeHtf.O

Dean Hole in bis book, More Memo
ries," tells an amusing story Of how an
old woman got the better Of her clergy
man in an argument. The village
churchyard was overcrOwded except on
its sunless northern side. in which the
suicide was buried. One day the vicar,
while visiting a poor old woman who
was nigh unto death, thought he could
try to get her consent to be buried in
the roomy northern plot. He began by
assuring her that the common aversion
to burial In any particular portion Of
consecrated ground was silly preju-
dice and n foolish superstition. Then
he besOught her, as Il personal favor
TO himself and rs an example TO others,
to permit her body to be buried IN the
northern plot of the churchyard.
The old woman thought it all over
for O. few minutes and then answered,
well. sir, as you seem to think as one
part of the churchyard is Gs good as
another and that it makes no difference
where we be put, perhaps you'll gle us
a lead"
The vicar did not grasp the argu-
ment, but he changed the subject.
