A SMALL FlRt AND
 A DEPARTMENT RUN
During Which Dick Aholt Was Given An Object Lesson in the Maneuver- ing of the Fire Fighting Brigade.

There was a fire alarm turned in yesterday afternoon from the box at the corner of Fifth and Madison streets and the blaze proved to be in one of the rooms of the old brick building on block 4l. It did not amount to much, and was quickly extinguished.
 There was rather more interest In the turning out of the department than in the fire. Dick Aholt had just stroll ed into the engine house, perhaps for the first time in his life. and tocular- ly remarked that he would like to hear the fire bell ring. just to see how the boys and the apparatus maneuvered. His eye next fell on a number of boys who were having a lot of fun around the water cooler. It had been adorned by a couple of very small wires lead- ing from a small battery. so that when the uninitiated approached to draw a cup of water while standing on the wet floor below he would receive a shock that made his fingers jingle.
 Just then the bell rang. and Dick thought it was due to the monkeying with the water cooler, and backed off to keep from getting his" He back ed against an iron post that runs from the roof. through the second floor to the ground below. which the firemen use as a short cut down stairs in the ey ent of an alarm. Hardly had Dick touched the post. when Fireman Stokoe landed on his shoulders and tied his legs in hard knot around his neck. Dick shook himself free and jumped for the door but was stampeded by firemen who came running into the building.
 Turning another way. he found he was running pell mell into a tangle of fire horses. wheels and harness. and again he backed off. Then he made a dive for the door into the next room, stepped on a ''passel'' of pet cats, and all but telescoped the gray team. which was champing the bits and paw ing the air. while waiting for the drop ping of the chain. Finally. he slid back irto a corner and remarked to someone 3s the procession moved. that if he ever got out of there he would be mighty careful to never get in again. He had a beautiful illustration of the difference between a fire company in pose and in action.

TO DRAIN KANkAkEE MARSH.

The Kankakee marsh. in Indiana. long famous as a hunting and fishing resort is threatened with extinction by a project for the drainage of this great tract. The plan for the work has been developed in the office of ex- pertinent stations of the agricultural department, and provides an increased carrying capacity in the river by straightening its channel, the Engin- eering Record says. At the present time the river is .72 miles long in the section which will be improved. and it is planned to shorten this length to AIS miles. of which 35.s miles are in Indiana. and the remainder in Illinois. This is to be accomplished by cutting off eighty-four bends of the present stream by channels varying from 15O to $500 feet in length. The total length of the new channels to be made in this way is 27 1-2 miles. the re- mainder of the improvement being the equalization of the old river channel.

WATCH COFFEE And Watch 1t Carefully.

Any brain worker who depends on thought for his success in life. uses up energy. by brain work. a varying amount of the delicate particles of phosphate of potash and albumen of which the brain and nerve centers are composed.
 The fine. microscopic particles of phosphate of potash are found in quantities in the pores of the skin af- ter the brain has been used actively. This must be replaced from food. or brain flag and nervous prostration set in.
 This breaking down of the little cells each day. from brain work alone, is a natural process, and tEe cells can readily be rebuilt from the right sort of food. if the system is not inter- ferred with by drugs. but if an in creased amount of cells are broken down by the use of coffee. trouble then begins.
 Frequently it first shows in dyspep- sia. lack of power of the bowels to operate properly. palpitation of the heart. or some other lack of vitality and healthy vigor. There is but one thing for a sensible man or woman to do,-Quit coffee absolutely. Hard to do." you say. Take up Postum Food Coffee. use it regularly, have it well made. so it tastes good. You will find well defined. unmistakable change in your health, and there's a l reason for it
 You have become free from the breaking down force of coffee. and on the other hand. you are taking a pow l erful. nourishing liquid food which quickly rebuilds the new cells. These are facts-profound facts. ready for any one to prove to their own satisfac- | ton by actual use. Postum is used by brain workers all over the world. Don't call 1t "substitute" for coffee; leave out the coffee proposition altogether. Postum is a liquid food and a true food drink. There's a Reason

CAPTAIN HoBsoN's PLAN.

Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson who IS now the representative of the sixth congressional district of Alaba . ma, has taken up new fad. which is or real practical benefit to his district and does him far more credit than his scheme to spend s1O0. OO0, 900 for a navy to subjugate Japan. He has just con- ciuded tour of his district with gov- erhinent experts in forestry. soils, cot Ion culture and good roads. who gave lectures in their respective branches Tor the purpose of aiding the people in ir;proving agricultural conditions.
 captain Hobson made his congress slonal campaign on educational issues supporting a proposition for a large " increased appropriation by the state Tor educational purposes. and gained ms Idea by his experience in that campaign He found that the farmers were eager for knowledge along cer- talh practical lines upon which inc government is spending immense sums. He discovered that the informa- ton which the government is accu- mulating does not reach the aver.ca farmer engaged in actually tilling the
 +' N'N hS utltIHllneO to make an eilort to remedy this deficiency.
 The matter was laid before inc da- partment of agriculture. which was eager to Cooperate with the vo,,n, congressman. and the lecture ;onr u. ! arranged. Captain Hobson and tbe iour experts spoke at seventeen nIaces ana were heard by large and entbusi- asuic audiences. William s. Hall . forestry expert pointed out to the nao- ple the folly of allowing the lnmbe, companies to strip the country of lie magnificent forests. Dr. A. I Rons- teil talked about soils and agreed ,o nave a thorough soil survey made =, every county in the district F e "hson discussed intensive cotton c,,I- lure. and will make another visi, ,o the district in September to assjst ,ho farmers in the effort to grov be,ter cotton and more to the acre. & C Lancaster. the good roads man s,nd,oa the possibilities of highway buiIdina Tn that section and selected sno, fns the construction of a specimen milo ot the best adapted road.

The experiment was watched at Washington with great interest and its unqualified success was not less gra- tif.,ing to the department of agricul- ture than to Captain Hobson. It solves the problem of how to place the know ledge in possession of the department in the hands of the individual to whom i. will be of practical value. Ambi- tious congressman will also appreciate its advantages and the department ex- poets to receive many requests for the loan of its experts in connection with similar campaigns for the promotion of practical education in farming.

A REGAL COUPLE.

The king and queen of Denmark are indeed regal-looking couple King Frederick is a giant in stature. while his cohort is the tailest royal woman in Europe. She is also the richest. having inherited a great deal of property from her father the late King Charles of Sweden. besides the immense fortune of her mother. who was one of the richest ehiresses of the nineteenth cen tury. Her majesty is deeply religious.

Already signs are apparent that the celebration of the glorious Fourth this year will be an international event. Although in New York the fire mar shal has cut down by two weeks the period during which fireworks may be sold at retail, the wholesale dealers report heavy advance orders and the board ot health has taken the precau- ton to lay in corresponding stock of lock-Jaw serum. Curiously enough many Of the orders for fireworks are from patriotic American citizens across the Canada border, who propose to make the eagle scream in the very face Of the British lion. Not only is it the great American holiday, but with the Germans 1t is the birthday of their fH- ture kaiser, and Italians in all parts Of the world will celebrate the day as the centennial of the commencement
