Fire Limit

Sooner or later every town or city
has it's experience with a disastrous
fire. So far Miller has been singu-
larly fortunate in this respect. But
of course her time will come some
day. When it does the city should
have an ordinance upon its books re-
fusing a permit to any more frame
buildings within the fire limits. In
this way only can a town be improv-
ed with a better class of buildings.
Lots on the main business street
of Miller are now valuable enough
to warrant the erection of substan-
tial fire proof buildings, and when
ever any owner gets ready to put up
a new building he should have the
city guarantee back of him that all
others must rebuild with brick. stone
or cement. Every building of the
kind put up is a fire wall to protect
other property. In time, Of course
the whole street will be rebuilt. It
is the present duty of our city Of
ficers to see that it is rebuilt of fire
proof material.

WALL STREET "TlPS."
Best Place to Plant Them If They
Come Your Way.

Come Your Way.
A seasoned Wall street campaigner
condenses life of practical observa-
ton in the remark: "Stock market
tips are, as rule, founded on moth
ing better than guesswork or pure in
vention. Although usually without
value, openly peddled out to the pub
lie and not possible to trace to any
reliable source, they come clothed in
such a garb Of mystery and apparent
importance that there are always a lot
of Ill informed persons who will ac-
cept them and act on them as on gos-
pei truth.
"Often these so called tips are but
the whispered suggestions of some ma
nipulator who was confident that his
mysterious, semiconfidentia hint would
travel and be made the basis of large
buying Of some stock he was especial
ly anxious should be largely sold.
at is told Of one great speculative
magnate of the past generation that
when he was approached by the pastor
Of rich and fashionable Fifth avenue
church in search of means by which
he could become suddenly rich he put
his lips close to the clerical ear and
whispered: Buy Pacific Mail. It's
sure thing. If you lose on it I'll make
good your losses
'The pastor departed gleefully. Some
two weeks later he called at the office
Of the manipulation and deplored the
great financial losses he had incurred
in following the confidential tip
How much were theyY asked Mr.. c.,
and on being told he drew his personal
check for the amount.
THE minister took it and after ex-
pressing his thanks hesitated mo-
ment and then said: But how about
my parishioners? You placed no ban
Of secrecy on me and their losses have
been enormous
THE financier smiled grimly as he
remarked, You see, doctor, those were
the fellows l was after
This story may be true or may not,
but 1t points moral If you get a

The Kind of Bow He Mas

That Marshall Field of Chicago knew
how to wrest victory from defeat and
make stepping stones of stumbling
blocks is shown by the following story
told of him by a friend:
When boy young Field went to a
great merchant and asked, DO you
want 4 boy?" Nobody wants boy
replied the merchant. do you need q
boy?" the boy persisted, not at all
abashed, Nobody needs a boy" was
the reply. But he would not give up,
We'll, say, mister, do you have to have
boy?' ~ think likely we do re-
piled the merchant, land rather think
we will have to have a boy just like
you"

CAMELS HARBOR HATRED.
Will Wait Until an Opportunity Ar
rives For Revenge.

The Arab who has angered camel
will throw his clothes upon the
ground. and the infuriated beast after
stamping on them and tearing them
asunder with its teeth goes on its
way, and the driver is thereafter quite
safe, as it seems to be an axiom with
the camel that no man shall be put in
peril of life twice for one offense.
The camel is stupid save when an
cry and then seems to become almost
preternatural in carrying out its venge-
ful designs. Palgrave relates the fol-
lowing story of camels revenge,
which serves to illustrate this point;
"A lad of fourteen had conducted a
large camel laden with wood from one
village to another at half hours dis
tance. As the animal loitered or turn,
I'd ont of the way its conductor struck
it repeatedly and harder than it seem
ed to have thought he had right to
do; but, not finding the occasion favor
able for taking immediate quits. il
'bode its time That time was not
long in coming
"a few days later the same lad had
to rcconduct the beast, but unladen, 10
his own village. When they were
about halfway on the road and at
some distance from any habitation the
camel suddenly stopped, looked delib-
erately round in every direction to as
sure itself that no one was In sight
and, finding the road clear of passers-
by. made a step forward. seized the
unlucky boys head In its monstrous
mouth and lifting him up in the air,
flung him down again on the earth
with the upper part of his skull com
pletely torn off.
Having thus satisfied its revenge,
the brute quietly resumed its pace to-
ward the village. as though nothing
were the matter, till some men who
had observed the whole, though unfor-
tunately at too great distance to be
able to afford timely help, came up
and killed it"-London Telegraph.

BREACH OF PROMISE.
Manner In Which the Law Treats 1t
In Different Countries.

I
In Different Countries.
England is the best place. from the
plaintiffs point of view f.r a breach
of promise action. AnWther coun-
tries seem to regard with grave sus-
picion any attempt TO recover none
prospective husband, and unless the
plaintiff has very strong case indeed
it Is never worth her while to carry
her grief into the law courts.
In France breach of promise cases
are rare. for the simple reason that
the law requires the plaintiff to prove
that she has suffered pecunlary loss.
Now. this Is not an easy thing to do
OIL the part of the lady, especially in
4 country where a girl without dot
that IS, Il marriage portion-has a poor
chance of finding husband. Holland
and Austria have adopted the French
system, and the result has been about
the same. Breach of promise actions
are rare the injured damseS or their
relatives usually taking the law into
their own hands.
Practical Germany, as might be ex-
pected, has perhaps the best method
for solving this problem. When a
young couple become engaged they
have to go through a public betrothal
ceremony that ought to knock all the
shyneSs out of them. In the local
town hall the pair declare their affec
ton, willingness TO marry, etc, ending
by signing collection of documents
that apparently leave no loophole for
escape. But II either party to the con
tract wishes to withdraw another jour,
ney is undertaken to the town hall
and another collection of documents
signed witnessed and sealed Then
the authorities determine the question
of compensation-s should 1t be claimed
In this connection it may be said that
the man can and often does claim a
solatium for his wounded feelings
The usual award is one-ffth of the
marriage dowry. 1t is easy to under.
stand when all this is remembered
how loath the young people of Ger
many are to break their betrothal
oaths.
AS the law of Italy affords little or
no protection whateve" to Tilted dam
sells or swains. it Is not surprising that
the stiletto should be the faVorite mode
of deciding breach of promise cases.
The Italian law demands that the per-
son suing for the breach shal produce
written promise to marry from the
defendant: otherwise the action cannot
proceed. This difficulty is almost IN
surmountable, and the Italian judges
are seldom troubled to adjudicate be-
tween one time lovers.
To bring an action for breach of
promise of marriage against reigning
monarch is an achievement, but it has
been done, and by an English lady
Miss Jenny Mighell sued the sultan of
Johore, and as there was n doubt
whether the dusky one was actually a
Teigning monarch the case was allowed
to come into court but the judge quick
ly disposed of the action by ruling il
inadmissible for the reason referred to,
and Miss Mighell was nonsuited.
1t is remarkable that one of the two
actions which have brought verdicts
for 10000 each to the plaintiffs should
have had for its defendant the editor
of matrimonial paper The second
case was between a well known actress
and the eldest son of an earl.-Londop

One OF the Funny Incidents Possible
In a Divers Life.
As showing how much at home a
man may be today under water l may
relate an amusing story. Some months
ago while great battleshlp was at

fotSam that had become entangled,
and he failed to come up. 1t CHANGED
that the rest of the battleshlps divers

felt on the irOnclad for the missing
worker. Signals by telephone and life
line were sent below without avail. In
the launch above the throb- -throb of

the attendants looked at one another

edy deep down in those heaving green

The worst was feared when some

navigating lieutenant sent ashore an
urgent message for one of the other
divers. The man came on board,
dressed Immediately and went below,

why, that fellows been asleep all
this time!' he said wrathfully. 1t was
true. The man had just had his lunch,
and, finding the work much less serious
than he had thought, he finished 1t in
a few minutes and then sat comfort
ably on one OF the giant blades of the
batteship propeller and went TO sleep
with inquisitive fishes swarming
around him, attracted by the dazzling
searchlight on his breast. The officers
were so amused at the occurrence that
no punishment was inflicted on the
lazy one.-St Nicholas.

SELFRIDGE's GOOD WORK.
Aeronaut Killed by Wright Airship's
Fall Recognized as a Leader.

Fall Recognized as a Leader.
Lieutenant Thomas +. Selfridge, who
was killed by the fall of the Wright
airship at Fort Myer the other day,
was one of the most enthusiastic be-
lievers In aeronautics among the Off
GERS in the military service and
through his own efforts succeeded in
securing detail with the aeronautical
division of the signal corps He was
born in San Francisco twenty-six years
ago and was appointed to the Military
academy at West Point from that
state. He was appointed a second lieu
tenant in the artillery corps In 1903
and commissioned first lieutenant
four years later.
While with the Fifth field artillery he
became interested in the work of Pro
fessor Alexander Graham Bell. who
was experimenting with tetrahedral
kites, and about year ago was at
tached to the signal corps.
Lieutenant Selfridge was one Of the
three officers who successfully operated
Captain Thomas Baldwin's dirigible
airship over a month ago when that
machine was undergoing its official
tests for acceptance by the govern
ment Lieutenant Lahm and Lieuten-
ant Folois assisted him, and Lieuten-
ant Selfridge's management of the big
airship brought him into marked prom
inence as successful operator of air
machines. lie designed the propeller
Of the Baldwin craft, which was con
sidered a marvel of efficiency.
AS secretary of the Aeronautic Ex-
pertinent association at Hammonds-
port, y. Y, Lieutenant Selfridge took
n leading part, and he was closely con
suited by its organizer, Alexander Gra-
ham Bell, in the construction Of the big
airship on the tetrahedral kite princi-
pie which Professor Bell has been
building for over year at his summer
place in Baddeck. Nova Scotia. Lieu
tenant Selfridge in December, 1907,
made the first flight In a large tetrahe-
dral kite which was TO form part of the
Bell machine. The kite flew we'll for
16S feet. but glided into the water
The first machine built by the Ex-
pertinent association at Hammondsport
was Selfridge's Red Wing. 1t was
constructed from his own designs, as
sisted by the engineer Glenn II. Cur
tiss, who built the engine and eight
cylinder forty horsepower motor. Lieu
tenant Selfridge did not go up in the
first flight, which was made March II
OF this year. f. w. Baldwin, civil
engineer of Toronto and an active mem
Der of the association operated the ma
chine, and it made a successful flight
over Lake Keuka of 31S feet IL inches.
OF the fight Professor Bell said:
at was the first public exhibition of
the fight of a heavier than air ma
chine in America"
Five days later the machine was Sc
riously damaged, and a short time after
Mr.. Curtiss' June Bug was built, which
has flown over a mile.
The organization of the Experiment
association was brought about largely
through the interest of Lieutenant Sci
fridge in aerouautical matters. lie rec
ognized the need for a place where
practical experiments might be made.
