Cheerful Advice.

A number of railway men
were once discussing the ques-
ton of accidents.
"The roads of Scotland" said
one official, FUSED to have a bad
name, indeed, in respect to ac-
cidents. No one thought of en-
barking on a railway journey
unless they had provided them
selves with an accidental policy
of insurance. /"
The famous DR.. Norman Mac
Leod was once about to set off
on a long journey through the
Scotch country. Just as the
train was pulling out the cler-
gyman's servant put his head
through the window and asked
"Ha'e We ta'en an insurance
ticket, sir?"
II have" replied the doctor.

Rundown Machinery and Dark Streets.
Appeal to Corporations.
Easton, Pa, is one of the cities that,
having tried municipal ownership Of
lighting plants, have found it wanting.
In a recent message to the city couu-
ellis Mayor March said that. although
he is a believer in the theory Of city
ownership. nevertheless he would pre-
fer to hand over the city lighting to
private corporations rather than see
large districts in darkness, as has often
been the case in the last six montlis.'
Continuing. lie characterized this as
dangerous from the police point of
view" and unbcarable from the citi-
zen's, adding that if the city contin-
ues to operate the plant it must be
it." There should not only be econo-
my. but the machinery should be con
stantly repaired and renewed, both for
efficiency and ito keep up with mod
ern progress in electric lighting"
Much of the machinery being almost
worn out, he advises that arrange
ments be made to borrow current from
local company in case of breakdown
that the city streets may not be kept
in darkness while repairs are going on.
He does not say what he would advise
We're municipal ownership complete
and there were no private companies.
Built in 1886, the construction cost of
Easton's electric light plant to date
has been about $4,000. In a summary
OF the situation the Sunday Call, which
appears originally to have favored the
enterprise, says the plant isn't salts
factory and the city hasn't the money
to renew it. The companies must now
be asked to put in bids for city light
ing. The Call thinks they can furnish
it cheaper than the city can itself
Easton's lighting experiment, the pa
per adds. has been costly and unsatis-
factory" The city was bonded to es-
tablish the plant, and now that 1t is
Worn out and almost useless the debt
remains.
Nothing has ever been charged up
for depreciation, but the people were
told that this was unnecessary, as the
plant was being kept in good repair.
Fifty thousand dollars was spent in
"patching up" the plant. but the state.
ment that it was kept in good order is
now proved untrue. and so is the state
ment that the cost was less than a
private corporation would have charg-
ed for the same service, though many
people believed both statements for n
time.
According to special to the New
York Times, women and children are
not considered safe on Easton's streets
at night, and sixty firms and business
men have petitioned that the street
lighting be turned over to private
corporation ut once.

THE FUNNY SIDE OF N. o.

Politics In City DEPARTMENTAL Queer
Velocity Poles Downed.
Public Service is not humorous
publication, but there were some fun
ny items in its December issue. Com
menting OH the proposition Of the
Business Mems club of Cincinnati that
civil service rules should be introduced
into the municipal department, Mr..
Miller, a member of the board of pub
lie service. is quoted as saying, II
think the first requisite for good
official is that he should be q good
Democrat"
The mayor of Button, Ind, is moro
subtly humorous. He advocates mu
nicipal ownership as an antidote for
monopoly and then vetoes a fran
chise for u gas plant because 1t would
compete with the municipal electric
light works and probably would re.
duce the city's $4,000 plant to mass
Of junk" This Is rather more than a
taclt admission that the consumers are
paying through the nose.
But the funniest thing of oil Is that
some of the citizens of Chicago had to
go to law to compel the city electrical
department to obey its own laws. BE.
cause such construction is much cheap.
er this department undertook to erect
poles in district where the ordinances
require wires to be placed under
ground. The citizens appealed to the
department to protect them from what
they assumed to be the intrusion Of a
private company. Instead of being al
layed their indignation was rather IN
creased when they learned their mis-
take, and they did not stop until the
city council passed an ordinance re-
quiring the removal Of the poles.

Novel Party

Saturday evening, DR.. and
Mrs. Warren entertained a few
friends by giving a Mexican
Progressive Party. After dis
cussing "The Fair Cod" Cen
eral Wallace's great work of
Mexico, the Brownsville affair
and the relation of our sister
republic to "the States" and
many other questions of mo-
ment, the unique game of Mex
lean Monte was INDUCED in.
This game, peculiar to those
peculiar people of the south
land, was introduced to the
northerners by missionaries
and is much in vogue by per-
sons who are opposed to the
use of the ordinary playing
cards. After playing a game
of Monte, those doing best at
the table went to the next
table where chili-con-carne was
served. This dish is anything
but chilly, for it is the hottest
ever. The ALTERATION is hard
ly lost in the literal translation,
for it means "beans boiled with
beef" Some say it means
peppers, but the peppers are
there all right. At the next
table chili-cum-row was par
taken of and hot tamales, too;
then came gutla-ma-growIy,
which means drops of hot
stuff" as any Latin scholar will
attest. Pom Hoss and good old
corn pone and baked beans and
pop corn were part Of the pro-
gressive menu at the successive
tables, making the participants
imagine they were in the land
of bull fights and revolutions.
Tablespoonful coffee in tiny
tin cups completed the bill of
fare and the game. The con-
ISOLATION prize was a bottle of
Mexican mustang liniment
with which to allay the poign-
ancy of the pain of defeat (or
the feet complete the allie
CORY, cigarettes were passed
(up) for no salf respecting per-
son passes sac. things in any
other way. Surely. everyone
had a hot time and the char
acter of the party was quite a
relief from the ennui produced
by charade functions and it
was just as intellectual.

Noted Piano Teacher

Miss Eta Ellis, whose illus
trated music courses are at
tracing so much attention all
over the United States, is we'll
known in this part of the coun-
try. She is the daughter Of
Clark Ellis, the druggist at
Little Sioux, Iowa, and a sister
of Strauser Ellis.
She is to be congratulated
upon the great success of her
correspondence courses, which
are the outcome of many years
of hard study and experience
in teaching. The Ellis Illus
trated Music School, Omaha,
Nebraska, is the largest CORE
spondence music school in the
world, and the rapid results
gained by the system saves
money, time and drudgery.
There are eight different
courses suitable for beginners
or advanced students.
The system has some strong
endorsements from musicians,
who are in a position to know
what a Conservatory training
means. The course does not
interfere with the private
teacher; such a thorough train
ing only aids the conscientious
teacher. 1t balances the stu
dent and gives them a broader
musical education, which is
something more than the play
ing OF an instrument. If a stu
dent is anticipating study at a
conservatory, they will save
time and money by taking the
Ellis course, and receiving the
certificate, which with the three
hundred questions they are
guaranteed to answer, may be
presented at any school, and
thereby satisfy the faculty of
a we'll balanced knowledge, and
can only place them ahead in
their course of study. Music
lovers are searching for this
broader knowledge, and We pre-
dict that the Ellis system will
soon be in general use through
out the country.
The lack of theoretical train
ing in studying music retards
the advancement of the stu
dent. A pupil does not go to
school and study reading alone,
but all branches are taken up,
so it should be with music. The
Ellis Illustrated Music course
is a Conservatory training on
the branches Harmony, Analy-
sis, Musical History, Musical
Vocabulary and Ear Training.
She will give an illustrated
music lesson at the home of
Mrs. w. &. Smith at 2 p. m.
Saturday, February End. Wis
jtors welcome.

THE IRON AGE
Americas Leap to the Front
as a Producer

New York Sun: The de-
velopment Of the iron and steel
industry during the last quar-
ter of a century is one of the
most striking facts of the time.
In 1880 the total output of
pig iron throughout the world
was 18,500,000 tons. Of this
total England furnished 1850
600 tons and the United States
q 100000. Germany supplied
2,500,000 tons.
The estimates for last year
show a total output of about
60, 100000 tons, with this coun-
try in the lead as a producer.
Our output appropriated 25,-
OOO,O0 tons, or one-third more
than the worlds total supply in
1880. Germany increased to
II, 100000 tons and England to
|AV,1OV,OVVCOIlS.
During this time England
dropped from first to third
place as a producer, and the
output of the United States in
creased until it now doubles
that of the total of both its
competitors. About IS per
cent of our output is used here
at home. The value of the
material in it's various finished
forms runs up into billions Of
dollars.
No comment is required.
