FIRE AS A SOCIETY EVENT.
How Female Reporter Described the
Blaze for Her Paper.

Kansas City-The regular reporter
was taking a vacation, according 10
the Neodesha Sun. and the editor was
busy in the office. so when it was
learned that on the previous evening
there had been a fire ia a remote part
of the city the young lady who writes
the society news was sent to bring in
a report of it for the paper. She came
into the office an hour later with the
following very interesting account:
Quite a number of people in this
part of the city attended a fire last
night at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Blank, in Thirteenth street Some
went in carriages and buggies, but a
majority walked The alarm was
sounded about $3.50 and many who at
tended the fire had just returned
from church, consequently they were
already dressed for the occasion.
MIR. Blank was not at home, being
out of the city on business; hence the
affair will be quite a surprise to him
when he returns. Mrs. Blank wore
light percale kimOnO and had her Eair
done up in kid curriers'.
THE iremen responded readily and
worked heroicaIly to subdue the seeth-
ing flames. Most of them were young
and fairly good looking. They were
dressed in Oilcloth coats cut short,
with trousers to match. Their hat rims
were narrow in front and broad be
hind and sagged down in the rear.
The chiefs hat was ornamented with
an Octagonal brass spike which stuck
up above his head like a horn, giving
him the appearance of a unicorn.
When the flames broke out through
the second story and cast a luTid hue
over the surrounding buildings the
view was one never to be forgotten
At late hour the sightseers went
home and all felt that they had passed
an evening full of interest and excite
ment."

DOES A HEN SIT OR SET?
Presbyterian Ministers, Discussing
English, WrestIe with Problem.

Philadelphia-"DOe a chicken sit
or set?" was the momentous question
that the Presbyterian Ministerial as
sociatiOn was called upon to solve.
Rev. DR.. Henry G. Martin, of the
West Grove Presbyterian church,
made an address on "The Minister
and His English" in which he called
attention to the numerous grammati-
cal errors made by clergymen in their
pulpits.
When the speaker sat down Rev.
Walter f. Oakford of the Reformed
Episcopal church, voiced a query
which he said had been puzzlins him
for a long time.
I'VE set a hen" said Mr.. Oakford.
but when once set 1 would ike to
know whether she is sitting or set
ting?"
Forty of the ablest Presbyterian
ministers in the city were present.
and their faces became grave as their
minds wrestled with the problem.
But Dr. Martin came to the rescue.
He clarified the mental atmosphere of
doubt with the following eXpIana-
ton:
The hen is set upon the eggs, but
after that she SITS upon them he eX-
planned. and she serious coUntenances
of the cleTgymen relaxed.
In his address DR. Martin called at
tention to many grammatical errors
made in the pulpit. He said that al
though it would be humiIiatng, every
pastor would be benefited if he enlist
ed the aid Of a cultured man or wOm-
an to take heed Of his errors and pri-
vateIy inform him of them after the
service.

When you are a half block from a
speeding. tantalizing trolley car and
making excellent time in its direction
YOU think that the leg is Invaluable,
but the crudity of your estimate is
imnrosaed with severity on you when
you -5aliae that to be without that leg
is only TO detTact Is per cent, from
your ability TO get along in the world,
according to a statement made by an
expert on such matters, DR.. William
J. ArIitz, a surgeon in st. Francis hos
pital The physician testified to this
in a suit for damages tried in the cir
cult court brought for a six-yeaT-old
boy.
The surgeon claimed that boys of
tender years, when presented with a
cork or wooden leg in exchange for
one of the foot-bearing kind, with the
accompanying cOrns and bunions,
were able to become so proficient in
its use that it's presence was unknown
to the ordinary observer, and that it
could be detected only by careful ex-
animation.

a bicycle, run up and down stairs, and
have even seen one lad walk a slack
wire after he had become accustomed
to the use of the leg" said the sur

"APPLE SEED JOHNNY"
Tramp Who Is Making Himself Bene-
factor TO Coming Generations.

Tresbein. O. - There wandered
through this village last week an old
tramp who a generation or two hence
may come TO be regarded as a second
apple Seed Johnny" He is planting
nut trees. so that thn youth of the land
in years to come VIII not be deprived
of shelbarks and walnuts.
Not many years 3g1 there was hard
ly a farm in the east that did not
have at least one walnut tree, and
there was not a stream which did not
have growing along its banks hun
dreds of shellbark and hickory trees.
The demand for black walnut timber
and the need for hickory wood in car
riage manufacturing have made both
these varieties of trees exceedingly
scarce, and it wi not be long before
the joy Of gathering the nuts will be
lost to most children.
During the last three years the old
tramp has been planting thousands of
nuts. He seeks the out of way spots,
since he wants the trees to have a fair
chance TO grow. The rocky sides of
hills and the abandoned land at the
edges of creeks are sought out, and
when their benefact0r is but a mem
ory brown-cheeked youngsters will
reap the fruits of his kindness and
