Chicapo's Record Breaking Firemen.

ChicaHo'e Record rlreHeHs
Chicago has to-day one Of the fastest
and most effective fire departments in
the large cities Of the world. The city
has the record for the smallest percent
age of loss of property involved, In
comparison with the number OF hres
extinguished. The records for 1904
show the actual loss on property in
yolved to be less than $50 per cent.
The department worked on nearly 5000
fires during the year. In 1908 there
was a 2.73 per cent. loss, the value or
property involved being 111,743,44l.
and the actual loss S3,OG2,931, which is
q record seldom equalled by metropol-
itan departments. In a display where
splendor was considered, the depart
ment of the windy city" would not
head the list, but the records made, un-
der the leadership of the gray-hairec
chiefs, stand out in bold relief. Fire
Marshal .Jotl Campion, the present
chief, and W. II. Musham, lately re-
tired, are both veterans of the great
fire Of 1871. To them and the sturdy
men who followed their stentorian
commands is due the credit of driving
the fre-fiend to his den.-Lcslie's

BANK ROBBERY CLEARED
Janitor Confesses to Stealing $4,000
From Vault.
Former Bank Ofazial Gave Him Safe
Combination and Locked Him
in Vault.

Lima, Ohfo.-The mystery surround
ing the robbery seven years ago of the
American National Bank here of $751;
600 was cleared by the confession to
Prosecutor William Klinger, of Elijah
Bowsher, formerly %janitor Of the Eau
rot Opera House Block, in which the
institution was located,
Bowsher and Thomas Wilkins, a real
estate agent, were indicted by the
Grand Jury last week for the robbery.
and Bowsher exonerated Wilkins, but
implicated Benjamin G. Faurot, for
merly a millionaire. and president of
the old National Bank. Faurot died in
Sandusky a year ago, practically pen
niless.
The robbery Of the American Bank
defed the work of the Pinkertons and
a dozen other detective bureaus. None
of the vault doors, locks or time locks
was damaged. and the theory was that
Cashier Kalb and Vice-President
Michael had committed the crime.
Michael was indicted two years later,
QuL UellGfluS uC SOuiu sam oAoh6SA
evidence against him, Prosecutor
Klinger nolled the indictment to gain
time.
Later Mrs. Wilkins told Klinger in
idle conversation that Kalb and Mich
ael were not guilty. The prosecutor
finally got Mrs. wilkins assistance q
month ago, a meeting being arranged
where the conversation between Will
kins and Bowsher was overheard and
taken downlby the court stenographer.
Bowsher and Wilkins were then ar
rested. Bowsher claimed that Faurot
gave him the combination Of the inner
safe, which had never been changed
since the failure Of the Lima National.
Bowsher says he gave Faurot $4,000
and hid the rest in the gas pipe in the
basement of the block. He further
adds that he wanted to confess when
Faurot was living, as Mrs. Wilkins
was persistent in her demands, to
whom. he had confessed the crime
when she once cornered him about it
in her husbands office. He said he
would plead guilty. 4
With Prosecutor Klinger, Bowsher
was locked in the vault after his con-
fession. He got out in just eight min
utes and forty seconds.

Children's Sayings.

In Mr.. E. H. Cooper's new book, 1.-THE
Twentieth Century Child" there
are some really amusing sayings
and epigrams. A little girl who was
travelling in Italy wrote in her diary
that "it may be the home of music
but the family are out of town."
II didn't mean TO laugh, but my face
slipped" is a really funny saying, the
best in the book.
Another little girl, aged four, stoutly
refuses to repeat the same prayers
every night-"God must think me so
stupid to say the same thing again and
again."
Two little boys were watching their
mother sticking together Il broken or
nament, when the elder inquired,
"S1other, when an angels wings get
broken, what does God stick them
WITH"
"Seccotine, of course" came Ike

thing but your own home"

pleased her till now"
Jane felt that she could almost have
kissed Mr.. Follett for this speech.
"Only think, it is to be next Monday
week, auntie, and I am going to help
Mr.. Mohun to write the Invitations"
And 1 was going to ask you, Miss
Lynch, if you would be so very good
as to superintend my ~housekeeper in
her preparations" said Clifford, with
an impromptu insight into Miss Lynch's
character that really did him credit. Il
don't myself know anything about such
matters, of course, and it would be
such a kindness if you would consider
yourself the lady of the house for the
occasion"
After which master-stroke Miss
Lynch never gave another struggle.
She felt in her heart that Jane had far
better keep away from this ball at
Yatton. She knew what danger there
must be for the girl %parading before
the world any mere ~unmeaning atten-
tions of a man like Mohun; that the
moment the dead peace of her life was
stirred the greatest safeguard to her
happiness would be ~irrevocably over
thrown. And she loved Jane; and she
would Tin proverbial speech) have laid
down her life to shield the poor girl
from ill. But to refuse to WELD the
scepter Of dominion for ten consecu-
tive days in a house like Yatton; to
refuse to take upoh herself the govern
ment of men-servants. and women
servants, and a housekeeper-a grand,
fine lady, no doubt, in a black silk and
a gold chain-these were temptations
utterly beyond the Lynch nature to re-
sist. She hesitated; she wavered; she
looked at Chords handsome, pleading
eyes-and gave in. Jane might accept
the invitation, and she, Miss Lynch,
would be very glad to do anything in
her power that. could be Of service to
Mohun.

TWILIGHT BELLS.

There has come to my mind . legend,
A thing / had half forgot;
And whether I read it or dreamed IT
All, well it mattered not:
It is said that in Heaven at twilight,
A great bell softly swings,
And man may listen and hearken,
To the wonderful music that rings.
If he puts from his hearts inner cham
All the passion, pain and strife,
Heartache and weary longing,
That throb IN the pulses of life
If he thrrsts from his soul all hatred,
All thoughts of wicked things,
He can hear in the holy twilight
How the bell Of the angels rings.
And l think there is in this legend,
IF We open our eyes to see,
Somewhat of an inner meaning,
My friend, to You and me.
Let Us look in our hearts and question,
Can pure thoughts enter in
To a soul if it be already
The dwelling of thoughts Of sin?
So. then, let us ponder a little;
Let rs look in our hearts and see
If the twilight bells of the angels
Could ring for us-you and me.
