IMPROVED APPARATUS
ADDED TO EQUIPMENT
Fire Depar tment Soon to Own New
Hook and Ladder Truck.

Chief J, R. Canterbury Of the fire.
department has purchased one of the
latest hook and ladder trucks on the
market and twill probably be put into
service by the close of the week.
The ladder is the product of one Of
the well-known companies in Chicago
and is built on the most modern plans.
1t is eighty five feet in length, which
is the limit set by the large fire de-
partments. Experiments have been
made by nearly all the large companies
and it has been learned that a ladder
longer than that is unsafe and that
pompiers must be used above that
height.
The new ladder is equipped with
counter weights enabling two men to
raise it to the full height in ten sec
onds. It will be placed at tho Cataract
station on the East Side and the one
used there at present will be taken to
the west side Of the river.
Another ladder Of the ordinary type
is being made at the FIRE department.
shops at Third avenue S and Twelfth
street. This ladder is not equipped with
the new devices, but will be well made
and will reach at least sixty-fve feet.
Immediately after the West hotel fire,
when the lack of ladders was so
plainly shown, Chief Canterbury asked
the council for money to purchase new
| ladders. The work has been rushed and
both ladders will soon be ready for use
tsWe still lack few ladders, I said
Chief Canterbury, and we should have
few more stations, but this new ad
dition to the fighting apparatus will
greatly strengthen the department. )"

RINKE SUGGEST PLAN
TO GET BEST MATERIAL S.

FOR PAVING, ETC.
City Engineer Declares It Is Absolutely
Necessary that City Provide own
Laboratory, and Says Such an Institu-
ton Should Be Self Supporting DR..
Hall Endorses Plan.

v. City Engineer Andrew Rinker is pre-
pairing a communication to the city
council recommending the establish
ment Of municipal testing laboratory
for the purpose Of testing cement, brick
and other paving and sewer material.
i Minneapolis has reached the. state
when a complete municipal chemical
and testing laboratory is a necessity, /"
said Mr.. Rinker today. AT the pres
ent time the city engineers department
maintains "a cement testing plant at
the sewer department. warehouse. We
are obliged to go to the chemist Of the
health department for our water analy-
sesa and to the state university for our
analyses of creosote, asphalt and oil.
# s The building Inspector is about to
establish cement testing plant for
his department. The health depart
ment, in addition to Analysing water
and milk, also analyses and tests coal
and many other things. All this work
should Be done nnder one department,
as it eau be more economically con-
Quoted lin that manner and more
systematic record Of analyses and tests
could be; kept. L

+ "I have no intention whatever Of in
.terferlng with any other department in
making this suggestion. Personally /
care not under which head the labora-
tory is placed, but it should be complete
and do the entire work Of the city.
81 am satisfied that such labora-
| tory would be self-sustaining This de-
partment does great deal of work for
private concerns, for which they would
gladly pay, as it is very essential for
their business Not only do local pur-
chasers of cement call for our tests, but
many country dealers as well. Thous-
ands Of barrels of cement are used in
this city every year, and small fee
| on each barrel, say 2, cents, would bring
in considerable revenue. In addition
there would be analyses of water, coal
etc. -. !. n 80 3: -" -, s,
DR.. P. M. Hall heartily approved of
the plan when it was preached to him
and suggested that such department

duties is to analyze gas and gasolene
and test street lights.

 Where did you get it?" says he, and ms voice was amazing queer.
 Miss Edith sent it to you" says I.
 I thought he was going crazy. Ht dragged me to the fire chafed my hands, pulled the shoes off my frozen feet, and the man that had let him in brought snow and rubbed on my ears that were stiff as stakes, and the big dog woke on the mat, and rose with a growl to see what was going on.
 Keep still, Bebe." says MT Dacre and when heard that I thought I'd tumble into the fire.
 We'll, the two men brought hot cof- fee and a dish of roasted chicken, and Mir. Dacre, being a. gentleman. waited till, had warmed and fed before he asked me a question. But after had to tell him everything. My eyesl wasn't he mad! The big mastiff had laid her head on his knee; he patted it with one hand, and the other arm he slipped across my shoulder.
 boDDy, says ne, you are or the right stun! The whole of this mat ter you cannot understand, but I will tell you that the man who lives here was a servant of my dead father, and this dog is also a family relic For years Simpson has kept her for me- am particularly fond of Bebe, for she saved my life when I was boy, and of late I have thought of her as about the only friend left to me in the world. She is old now and infirm. As was to sail for Australia tomorrow. never, perhaps, to return, came down here to spend my last evening with Simpson, and to take Bebe away with me. These facts were we'll known to my friend, Colonel Hay, when he told that cursed story in the park. Now. Bobby, you and I must go back to town by the last train. I shall see Miss Edith before sleep. I shall also see our precious Colonel Hay our prince of liars"
 Well, Mir. Dacre didn't go to Austra- lia-he stayed at home and married Miss Angel. Colonel Hay wasn5t at the wedding--I know, for I was there. and looked for the fat man every where.

 THE TYRANNY OF BRIDGE.
The Game that is Used for Gambling
 by "SOciety."

Springfield Republican
 IT the American reputation for car rying good amusements to a baneful extreme is carried out in this case, the country will in a few more seasons be turned into one great Monte Carlo. For
 1t i3 10 be noted that the gambling habit, which has as a rule been discoun- tenanced in American society, and was not a characteristic feature of the whist epidemic, is so strongly associated with bridge that 1t seems to be forcing its way into circles where playing cards
 for money has always hitherto been | drowned upon.
 The special and insldious danger oi bridge lies in its tendency, under the sanction of social custom, to force | gambling upon those who would other
 wise never be tempted to play fol | money. But in one of the most author 1 itative of the new books we read: Pro 1 ficiency at the game has become pos itive social qualification. We have | more than once heard it said should like to ask so and so, but he doesn't play bridge. Talleyrand once said 1 to a young man who did not play cards
 What dismal old age you are pre-
 pairing for yourself" But 1t Is a dis
 nal present, according to these author ities, that those who reject bridge bring upon themselves: Some few malcon- tents there be who still remain obdu-
 rate, but they may safely be allowed
 to gnash their teeth in the outer dark
 ness which they have chosen" Now
 if 1t is rue that bridge Is becoming a social passport, without which there
 is no admission-nor for that matter anything to be admitted to--it is the more important that playing cards for money should not become the conven- tional practice. There are plenty of ways to gamble; they might well be left to the gamblers.

 2 Husband and Wife.--Agency; bur den of proof-In an action against a husband and wife to enjoin breach of a contract signed by the husband for himself and wife, the burden is on the complainant to show that tine husband had authority to make the contract for the wife.
 s Same; sufffciency of eyidence.- The fact that the husband is the gen eral agent of the wife ID not sutncleht to show his authority 70 bind ner by a covenant not to engage Tn a certain business. where the contract is signed by the husband for the wife, especially where she denies such authority
 4 Custom and usage; judicial knowl- edge-If, as alleged, it is the custom and usage for agents in making sales of hotel furnishings to bind the selling principal not to engage in competing business, 1t is not a custom the courts will take judicial knowledge of.
 5. Husband and wife; agency; rati- fication; burden of proof.-When in junction is sought to restrain preacn zen of contract signed by the husband for himself and wife. Ine burden Is on complaining party to show ratification by the wife, and the evidence in case at bar fails to establish ratification.
 S.
