tenderly and convincingly he pleaded
for wanderers to come home" Two

Then there was the singing master! The
country has lost through his departure, and the
boys and the girls of this generation have
missed nothing more attractive IN the old life
than the singing school
Counting? Why bless you, my boy, the
young fellows of to-day do not know the
meaning of that word When a young man
would walk five even ten miles through the
snow or rain and mud, freeze his ears and
fingers, and face the danger of wildcats, to
his girl, and that too in the general living
room with the family, he was entitled to admit
that he was counting And that was the rule,
not the exception. The young fellows would
start out Sunday afternoon to see their sweet
hearts, and no weather was too bad to keep
them at home. 1t might be too cold or too
muddy to take out horse; but in that case he
would go on foot, and he would go through as
much hardship to see his girl as did the knights
of old to rescue fair maids in castles bold.
But it was his devotion his counting, and
when he won that girl he stuck to her through
thick and through thin, through good report
and evil report. obeying. the. scriptural in
junction that what God has joined together
no man should put asunder. There were no
marriages of convenience and few hasty mar
riages then. The counting was long and there
were divorces to follow. The young people
might meet often at the singing school, or the
dance, or the husking bee; but these did not
take the place of regular counting
The counting was on Sunday night, and
the young man went religously to see his girl
and remained so until midnight with the object
of his affection, even though her father and
mother and the younger children were present
to share in the visit; and when he went home,
either through the storm or under the bright
starlight, he walked the earth as conqueror,
for he had been in the presence that to him
represented the real poem of life. He had
been counting! And that is all we need, to
bring back safe and sane ideas of MARRIAGE
courting-courting in the true sense of the
word, the man seeking if not serving, like
Jacob, seven years for the object of his affec-
ton. Then he will stick to her and she to him
through life. There were some old fashions
that have not been improved upon, and one
of them is the old way of counting"

does not care to go to bed with the children,
who offer 1t the uneasy hospitality of their
cots. The deep, mysterious night summons
it to vagabondage, to freedom, to the sweets
of courtship and the joys of war. No cush-
ion is soft enough no fire warm enough to
hold it back. Out into the darkness it goes,
and presently we hear the long drawn wall,
the Clamorous battle cry, the rush to combat,
the yells of rage, of victory, of defiance. The
sounds are not soothing but there is wonderful
eloquence in every note The pleasures of
minstrelsy, the honorS of the tournament, are

for the rapture of fighting, and he fights for

Selma sits on the fence, like the Queen of
Love and Beauty, and dilates with complicated
emotions as Thomas the valiant and Richard

Presently there is ominous silence and then
an " internal gallemaufry O din as the cham
pons meet in their final struggle. Richard,
with yell of despair, rolls off the kitchen roof
and Thomas lifts up his voice in one unearthly
cry which pierces the heart of the night. Noisy2
OF course it is noisy but the sounds are full of
passion, of cajolery, of splendid joy and hatred
and eXutatiOn.
This much is clear Whether we approve or
disapprove of Pussy's way of life, we must
grant her freedom, or do without her
panionship,-that sweet companionship which
has in it moments of intimacy and hours of
gracious friendship. cat may even give us
her confidence, but on her own terms, and sub

not minister to our self esteem. She will not
permit us to delude ourselves into the com
Portable belief that we are necessary to her hap
piness. She will not bestow her affection in
return for food and shelter. But if we approach
her as friend to friend, as equal to equal, she
will tranquize by her repOse, and teach our
restless discomfort the perfect balance of serene
egotism.

FIRE
CAUSES BIG LOSS.
Plants Damaged by Blaze of Supposed
Incendiary O1igin-Bad Charac-
ter Suspected.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug, 81
Fire supposed to have been started by
an incendiary at 1915 this morning
threatened the entire elevator district in
the vicinity of South Water street. The
American Mailing company, the Arm
strong Grain and Provision company, and
the Philip Orth company sustained Il loss
which is yariously estimated at between
So 900 and $4,000. The grain elevator
of the Armstrong company, POI Oregon
street, was burned to the ground. The
company sustained a loss on the building
and contents OF about $4,000. The
warehouse of the American Mailing COM
pany, at 1919 Oregon street, was almost
destroyed at a loss OF probably $4,000.
The warehouse OF the Philip Ortiz com
pany at 204 Florida street was damaged
to the extent of $4,000.
Fight Fire Three Hours.
The flames We're not under control I'M
til about o'clock this morning, and the
fire department kept number OF en-
glncs on the scene until long after day
light in an effort to cXtinguish the Last
sparks in the American Mailing com
panys warehouse.
The fire was discovered by Patrolman
Charles Grassle. Fircmen worked under
difficult conditions, as the buildings were
of great height, had no windows or
doors, and were covered with shect-irou.
The Armstrong building collapsed.
fortunately without mishup, and the de
partment concentrated all efforts upon
the American Mailing compauy's build
ing, which caught fire within fifteen min
utcs after the blaze was seen in the
Armstrong elevator.
Paints Were Threatened.
Shirtly afterwards the warehouse of
the Orth company caught tire, and the
force was divided TO fight the flames.
warehouse of the J. +. Patton company,
filled with paint and other combustibies,
was threatened. Near that stands the
William Berger 4 CO. warehouse and
beyond that the warehouse Of the Fran
zen company All efforts were combined
to prevent the spread of flames to these
buildings, and with success, the fire be-
ing stopped in the Ortiz plant.
Grain Stock Low.
The fact that the stool, in the Ameri-
can companys elevator is at the lowest
point it has been in years, saved the com
pany from heavy loss. The elevator
was less than half full.
The fire is thought to have started in
the boiler room of the Armstrong com
pany.
a suspicious character who has been
wandering about the vicinity for some
days is suspected as having set the build
ing on fire.
