THE LAUGH OF A GIRL
By STANLEY RICHARDSON

When the sky is turning red,
When the evening breeze is dead,
Ard the lake is burning blue and gold and pearl;
And sit in silence here,
From the waters, low and clear,
There the ripping laughter of girl.
o, the melody it brings,
Like fairy voice that sings,
Breathing rest to all the troubles in the world
AS lean to hear it die
1t seems to tint the fading sky
A mighty veil of sunshine westward whirled.
And wonder l dream
Of the grlish laughter CLEAN
That has frightened life since Eden closed its door,
What caused that sweet refrain
Was it happiness pain
That cried to dreamer the shore.

Fire Escapes.

To 90 down the ordinary external
fire escape ladder one has to be more
or less Of an acrobat and possess I'M
usually strong nerves and sinews.
Nearly all such fire escapes are placed
where In a severe fire they are likely
TO become red hot and useless and In
nine cases out of ten are so located rs
to be more or less inaccessible. The
International Society of Building In
spectors is making an effort to have
cities incorporate in their building re-
ouirements a rule that will give every
structure a safe and positive fire es-
cane. The main stairs, 1t Is argued,
are tile most natural means OF egress
to which people will turn In moment
of need. Therefore, 1t Is contended,
the main stairs of every building
should be made absolutely incombus'
tible. should be inclosed In fireproof
Enclosures. either walls Of brick OF
tile or screens Of steel or wire glass,
and have self closing doors at every
landing. They should abut either upon
the street or into a flreproof corridor
leading to the street, and from such q
corridor there should be none but abso
lutely fireproof communications, doors
etc. to any other portion of the build
ing. 1t may be a slight Inconvenience
to open and close door every time
one goes up or down a stairway, bu'
this is counterbalanced by the absolute
security and safety afforded by such
4 stairway.-Harper's.

Three Glasses Of Immigrants.

Roughly speaking, there are three
classes Of immigrants who are coming
to America: ~ Those who come be-
cause the way Is made easy and who
do not intend to work. They hope to
live off their friends and relations or
marry. They are the drifters and con-
tribute to the immortality among for
eign speaking peoples. (2) Those who
come on promises of high wages and
easy work. They mean to work, but
at something they like. and they mean
to be free. They are Independent and
demand good wages in domestic work
from the start. They frequently leave
for the shop. g. Those who have
been poor beasts Of burden and are
driven to this haven by persecution,
taxation, wretchedness, starvation, OPP
preston and the great desire to better
their condition. They are willing to
learn, will do anything that comes to
hand, and in their generation, barring
marriage, rarely leave domestic work
or get beyond the factory or sweat
shop door.-Frances A. Kellor In At

Abdul Hands Sense Of Humor.

Popular conception Of Abdul Hamid,
sultan Of Turkey, does not accredit
him with a sense Of humOr, yet we are
assured on high authority that the sui
tan not only enjoys joke, but Is capa-
bic Of perpetrating one.
On one occasion the grand vizier
gave an elaborate dinner, following
which dervish magician gave an ex-
hibition. In describing the magician's
teats to the sultan the next day one OF
he court officers exclaimed:
"Would you believe it, sire, that poor
dervish swallowed silver spoons one
after the other. 1t was simply marvel
GUS"
"MarvelousT inquired the sultan. Il
do not see anything so marvellous In
the fact that a poor dervish swallowed
few Of the grand viziers silver
spoons. Hassan Pasha, my minister
of the navy, used to swallow entire
ir6nclads without eSen so much as
changing the color Of his face"

Ranin With the Bio Smash.

We venture to offer some fundamen-
tai things to those who are not conn'
dent Of their ability to write news
story.
An event or series Of events may be
related in two styles-viz, from the
bottom up or from the top down.
The cumulative style Is that used by
the novelists. The story begins softly
and crescendoes up to the big thing
the climax at or near the end.
The journalistic style begins with the
climax, the big smash.
The first question a reporter assign
ed to a story should ask is, what Is
the most important single thing here,
the thing the public wants to know
first of all" When he finds that let
him write it as the beginning of his
story. Then he will ask what Is the
next most important thing, and he will
write that second. And SO on down to
the least important which he Will
write last.-Editor and Publisher.
