Ash Pit For Every House.

Among the objects that invaria-
bly, attract the attention of tourists
in Denver are the ash pits at every
house. These are made necessary
by the character of the coal common
ly used for domestic purposes and
by the high winds that prevail.
The ashes Of the Ignite coal, SO
extensively burned, hold the heat
for an extraordinary length of time,
remaining red hot for many hours,
or, if kept from the air, for days af-
ter passing through the crate bars.
1t is evident that il these red-hot
ashes were thrown out in back yards
or vacant lots, the high winds that
sweep across the plains would scat
ter them broadcast, making them a
constant menace to the eyes and
clothing of passersby, as well as to
infiamable property of every kind.
Every house is, therefore, required
by city ordinance to be provided with
an ash pit, shaped like an old-fash-
toned bake oven, with small openings
at the top, through which the ashes
are thrown. Another opening in one
side at the bottom permits their re-
moval when pit is full.-Kansas City
Times.

The City of Butte. Mont, for six weeks
has been without telephone service on
account Of a sympathy strike of opera
tons and linemen for some striking line
men IN Utah. The courts have sustained
mandamus writs against the Rocky Noun
tain Bell Telephone Comnany to compel
it to operate its lines, but so far as Butte
is concerned the company has made no
effort to resume service. The telegraphic
strike almost completely isolated the city
from the outside world. The strike of
the mail clerks several months ago left
the postoffice service in a badly crippled

Money" says Prof. John Graham
Brooks of Boston, will buy almost
anything. even including a wife"
Prof. Crooks is mistaken. Money can
not buy a wife. No man living has
enough money to buy one There isn't
enough in the whole world. 1t is true
that there are many men who have
sufficient money to buy woman who
is willing to go through the marriage
ceremony and to act the part of wife.
But a woman of that kind is not a
wife any more than the one who takes
the position without the formally of
the nuptial vows.
The unfortunate man who bought her
soon rues bis bargain. She was not
worth the money he paid for her
But it is one of the compensations
of these barriers in so-called matrimony
for society in general that the man who
is willing to buy a wife gets the woman
who is willing to sell herself. They are
mated. even in their misery. He has
just the kind of a companion he de-
serves and sise has the price for which
she has sold herself
But there are no wives for sale in
this country today, as Prof. Brooks as
serts. The wives are all married to
husbands who would scorn an object OF
barter and sale Pittsburg Leader.
