 thunder stilled. What promise does the future give to
 thee? They who have from thy rocky riven Looked at thy sunset can forgive thy

Never send away for goods you can

who helps to keep up your schools, your
churches and your town. He Is the one
who deserves your trade, and not some

you deal with strangers, buy from print

wait for goods and fret, pay freight and
charges, complain of errors, always pay
full regular prices, support city stores,
always pay spot cash in advance
buying here at home you deal with
neighbors, buy with goods before you
pay when you get the goods, work and
make money get goods delivered free
return goods If not right, build up your
home store, help build up your home

the time when he was In the west
when the gold fever was at It's height:
One OF the largest gambling houses
In San Francisco was In full swing.
when in walked two men, one OF whom
carried a large powter horn. They
ambled up To the bar, and the man
with the powder horn threw II on the
counter and said in a loud voice: L

along with me- He then dumped out
on the counter quantity of what
looked 10 be powder. His compan on
took from his pocket some OF the same
stuff and threw II into the fire, where
upon black smoke pulled out from the
stove. BY that time the gamblers
looked around and were Mortified to
see the other one seize the horn and
throw the contents into the stove.
The whole company, thinking there
would be horrible explosion, jumped
I'd lnelI leel duu SCdllcIcu w III a
joyous laugh the two men ran over TO
the tables and scooped in all the money
in sight-a goodly pile-jumped on
their horses and galloped away.
''To say that the players were In
censed when they returned would be
putting it mildly 1t turned out upon
investigation that 1t was only black
sand that the two desperate men
threw on the counter"
The lawyer asked why when one Of
these men threw some of the stuff in
the stove, It created a volume OF
smoke The other thought he must
have had some real powder in his
pocket.

The Midland Railway company Is

whether wireless biography can be
used in connection with their fast train
service between London and the north.
The system adopted was conceived by
Sir Oliver Lodge and Dr. Alexander
Muirhead, who are assisting the cleo

difficulty with the aerial wire consti-
tuted the greatest problem.
In order to test the idea under the
most disadvantageous conditions all

porcelain insulators, the height of the
wires varying from 9 to 10 inches above
the curvature of the roof. II is claimed
that never before has so short an aerial
wire been used in wireless telegraphy
From the roof the wires are carried In

HOUSE NOT LIKELY TO BURN
New Yorker Builds Dwelling That
Appears to Be Perfectly
Fire-Proof.

A house which is described as "the
most remarkable dwelling in central
New York and probably the most in
destructible" has been built recently
by John n. Osborn, of Auburn, re-
ports the Sun.
It appears that Mr.. Osborn has been
burned out twice and doesn't pine to
so he has put up reinforced con-
crete house for which the boast is
made that 1t could not be burned up,
nor probably blown up by anything
but very exceptional charge"
The upper walls consist of four
eight inches OF concrete building
blocks, then four-inch air space
heated in winter by a line of steam
pipe-and a four-inch interior brick
wall The whole interior structure is
supported on the concrete columns
that rise from cellar to roof, support.
ing the floor platforms.
Each concrete column has its spinal
core Of twisted steel. OF the floors
not only the main beams and lateral
cross beams are of steel concreate. but
the floor areas themselves Shafts
three feet square carry steam, water
and lighting pipes and various wires
from cellar to attic. The only com
bustible material consists of wooden
window and door frames and the
vainscotipg of the dining-room and
lower floors.
