There was quite an exciting time at
the home bakery Tuesday evening. 1t
was just at supper time and Mr.. Greene
was left alone in the building to attend
the trade. A gentleman called for a
tiye-gallon can of gasoline and Greene
went back of the building to the gas
ollne tank to fill the can. The gasoline
ran slow and other customers came
into the bakery SO MIR. Greene left a
boy to watch the faucett and came back
in the front part of the building. The
boy was hungering for smoke and so
as he sat there by the tank he scratched
match to ignite pipeful of tobacco
when Whit! the whole tank and the
boards around it were in blaze. The
alarm was sent in and the fire company
came, and in the meantime the gasoline
continued to run and burn for the boy
neglected to turn the stop-cock when
the blaze started. No explosion oc-
Cured and the fire was kept from ig-
hitting the surrounding buildings. The
tan. contained forty gallons of gas
oline; which was burned MP and the
plank platform was consumed, entailing
a loss of about $40.-Clarinda Herald.
Four-fifths of the teachers in the
United States, according to recent
census bulletin, are women, and there
are more teachers in this country than
there are clergymen, lawyers and physi-
clans together. In the proportion of
women teachers to the whole number OF
teachers employed the United States
leads the world, although in nearly ev-
cry civilized country the greater part of
the teaching is done by women. This is
in line with the general tendency to-
ward the advancement of woman to a
better place in this country. In 1890
the number of women in paying posi-
tions in this country was 3,914.571, and
in 1900 this number had increased to s.
329,807. However, as the number Of
men in paying positions has also increas-
ed in the same time, it mast not be ac-
cepted as certain that women are going
to crowd men out of positions in intel
lectnal employment altogether.
