THE burning of the school building III
Portland last week, and the escape OF all
the children and teachers without INJURY
or loss of personal property Is announcer
impressive demonstration OF the biess-
ings of the fire drill. The people OF sag
NAV are loud i'll their praise OF the re
markable performance by the children al
the burning of their $4,000 school Duild-
ing recently, and the escape OF all the
children uninjured can be directly traced
TO the fire signal drills This drill has
been practised some i'll the Alma schools
and at one time nearly reached a state OF
perfection, the building being entirely
emptied without excitement or confusion
in the short space of one and one-hali
minutes The practice has been discon
tinued this winter owing to the severe
weather but that should not interfere, as
the garment drill provides the chill
dren with wraps sufficient for the short
exposure to the cold the time required
to empty the building and return the
children to their seats being only three
minutes This time of year, when fur
naces and chimneys are overheated and
taxed 10 their limit, is when fires are
most apt to occur, and that condition
covers most of the school year. The
more familiar the pupils are with both
drills and the more careful instruction
they receive from the teachers TO avoid
DELAY and disorder, the more valuable
will be this excellent practice. New pu-
pills enter the school almost weekly, and
very often new teachers are employed
who are unfamiliar with the fire drill.
The excitement of one or two of those III
case of fire would very likely result IN
disorganizing an otherwise well drilled
school and the result is not pleasant to
think about. The fire drill is very i'm
portant part of the daily routine OF city
schools, where danger of FIRE IS supposed
to be greatest. but the number of fires OF
this class which have recently occurred
in the smaller cities and towns OF the
state point to valuable lessons for Alma,
which cannot be acted upon too soon.
The drill practically prevents panics-
and il is fright and panic, not flames
that bring injury and death to school
children 1t is practicei at odd times
the alarm being sounded without warm
Inc. and with this training and reasonable
GOODNESS on the teachers part, there IS
little danger. 1t should now be carried
into effect, for no one knows how soon 1t
NAV be the means of saving precious
lives. The more familiar teachers and
pupils become with the fire drill in our
schools, city, town or country, the nearer
will our school buildings be entitled to
be regarded as FIRE proof.

and other river property in peril for
more than two months. one OF the
worst gorges ever known in the Ohio
river at this point finally broke up
and passed off down the river, causing
comparatively small damage at the
last. although more than 100000 loss
had been suffered during the past few
days by the sliding and crushing OF the
immense ice pack. Three steamers
grounded and were left in a dangerous
position as the false water went down
Nearly 200 barges also grounded.

AN interesting and significant occurr-
ence was a George Washington Grafton
delivered at the annual meeting OF II
George Washington Society i'll Alexandria
on the 22nd instant by Honoratic J. b.
McCabe, a lawyer and former judge, OF
Leesburg, Virginia Judge McCabe Is a
Democratic orator of no small ability
and renown in Virginia. He followed
the opening speech OF the Governor OF
Virginia and after lauding the acts and
the life of the great Washington, he
reached climax in the statement that
while Washington, as the first man III
the land, launched the ship OF state, the
man who is now at the head OF the
country is endeavoring to bring her back
again to a straight course, and that the
man who had his respect and support
was Theodore Roosevelt. The address
was received with tremendous applause
and the significant feature OF the occurr-
ence Law in the fact that the momb RS OF
the George Washington Society at Al-xan-
dria are without exception Southern
Democrats.

This action of the New York merchants

derstood here. In enlightened business cir
Giles 1t is now conceded that it pays best to
have short. busy day rather than Il long
one of desultory trade. 1t is a trite saying,
that If banks kept open until midnight the
dilatory depositor would be found at the
teller's window with his deposit and book
at five minutes past this hour, and grum-
bling because the bank did not keep open
all night 1t is so with the stores; if they
kept open until the midnight hour the late
bargain hunter would pound on the outside

Our clerks give more attention to GUS
toners during the busy hours than during
we get more work out of them in d short,
busy day than in one long drawn out. When
clerks find that they are making sales and
that their books are filing up ii gives
them more incentive to effect sales than II
their books are not filled. The short-hour
rule, therefore, is advantageous to the GUS
toner and profitable to the storekeeper.'
