Hes Jest like GIRL" said the small

got curls all down his back an his
waists all over that holey stuff like
ma puts on her dresses The first day
he came to school his mother an two
other women brought him an he was
all dressed in white-white stockin's
an white shoes an white cap an all.
Our teacher told his mother she didn't
think they would be very 'propriate
cause some of us kids would maybe
make him unhappy about 'em-some-
fin like that, you know"
Il think you would" said the old
man. Yes, 1 suppose you make him
unhappy as it is-eh?"
The small boy grinned.
You shouldn't Maybe he feels
just as bad about those curls as you
do. He may lie abed nights crying be-
cause his cruel parents won't have 'em
cut of. I've known of such things.
Seems to me l can recollect a little
boy a long time ago whose mother
used to make him stand quite still
while she dipped comb in basin Of
water and combed his hair out till it
was all lank and damp and the drops
trickled down his neck and made him
squirm; and then she twisted it around
little stick that she kept just for
that, because the hair was too long for
her fingers except the roll on the
top Of his head that went right from
here to there"
The old man took off his hat and in
dictated the location with his finger.
'You don't notice much to curl now,
do you, Johnny" he asked, anxiously.
"Why, there's no hair there at ALL"
glggled the boy. Its all just bald
and shiny"

Well well! Anyway, you mustn't be
too hard on this playfellow Of yours
about the curls. AS I say, he may
not like 'em any better than you do"

boy. HE just likes 'em. An he plays
with the girls, too. He won't play
with us kids, cause he says we're too
rough. An his mothers maid calls an

him, an he SWITCHES. He SWITCHED on

A Big WHISKY fire
Loss OF 100000 ENTAILED
AT BRADFORD, PA.
Spectacular Blaze of 10000 Gallons
at OverhoIt DistiIIery-Town Saved
by Direction Of Wind-Biue Hinged
Flames Shoot 100 Feet Into the Air
PLANT Owned by Frick e. MELONS.

Connellsville, Pa, Nov. 20,-At the
Overholt distillery at Bradford Sunday
$4,000 gallons of whisky furnished
a spectacular fire, entailing a loss of
$4,O00.0O0. The main bonded ware
house was burned to the ground. A
steady northwest wind, which blew
the flames toward the Youghiogheny
river, saved the town of Bradford, the
buildings of the H. C. F'rick Coke COM
pany and the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road station from destruction.
Smoke was first seen issuing from
the third story, which was alongside
the Baltimore & Ohio tracks. Joseph
Mcdonald and George Patckin, en-
ployes, climbing up the fire escape and
opened one Of the small iron doors.
They were caught in a suffOcating
cloud of smoke, which suffocated
them, and they dropped unconscious
on the fire escape. They were rescued
by other workmen, and general
alarm was sounded.
The blue tinged. flames from the
burning alcohol were soon shooting
more than 100 feet into the air. AS
barrels of old rye whisky on each of
the four floors burst, the blazing liquid
was splashed in all directions. Inc
main track Of the railroad was kept
clear of debris and passenger trains
shot past at such speed as to avoid
damage from the intense heat.
Calls for help were sent to Connells-
vile, Uniontown and McKeesport.
Bradford is only two miles from here,
and the Connellsville fire department,
on special train, reached the scene
quickly. The men by hard work man.
aged to save the buildings nearby and
the calls to the two other towns were
withdrawn
The ruined building and it's contents
were still burning fiercely at midnight,
but the structures surrounding it
have been so thoroughly soaked with
water that no further loss is feared
1t is supposed that the fire started
either from spontaneous combustion
or from spark thrown by a passing
locomotive down one of the shafts.
The Overholt plant is practically
owned by H. C. Frick and the Melons

two clasp waists after the Russian
mode.
If you know just about how far you
want to drive you take the first driver
and tell him where you want to go
and what is the price offered. The ed-
quite is followed invariably. The
driver throws up his eyes in horror.
He calls upon the saints to witness
that so ridiculous price must be dou-
bled before he could look at it.
You are not deceived. You walk on.
And before you are gone ten PAGES
the cabman is after you, pointing po-

with grin, repeating frequently the
Russian equivalent for please"
But II you are driving to a dest1na-
lion at an unknown distance it is nee
essary to ask the opinion Of the first
bellied, belted, bearded brigand on the
box Of drosky. Then it is your turn
to throw your eyes to heaven and call
on the saints. A quick problem in
