REVEILLE AS FIRE ALARM.
War Veteran Blew Bugle to Warn
Neighborhood Of Menacinq Blaze,

Some one who discovered a fire in
the rear of the three story building at
345 Blocker street, New York, the
other morning tried to turn in an
alarm, but only pulled down the hook
of the box, and there was some delay
before the apparatus arrived, says the
New York Herald. In this emergen-
cy war veteran who saw the blaze
got out his old bugle and sounded
reveille.
There was no need for any more
alarm, for then the neighb9rhood was
awakened. The engines came on the
jump and got to work exttnguishing
the flames, but not before damage
amounting to about $1,000 had been
done to the shoe store of William
Adand and the cigar store Of Abra-
ham Samburg.

THINKING ALOUD.
A Ruse Which Reused Lord Dudley
and Formed a Friendship.

One of the earls of Dudley, who was
addicted TO the practice Of thinking
aloud, found himself in q very awk-
ward predieament on a certain occa-
sion. He was to spend the evening at
the house of friend and ordered his
carriage early, as he had long drive
back to his own home.
When the hour arrived the carriage
was not forthcoming. Seeing that
Lord Dudley was considerably annoy
ed by the delay, one of the guests,
whose way hOmeward lay past his
lordships house, politely offered him a
seat in his carriage The gentleman
was almost a stranger to Lord Dud-
ley, but the offer was accepted.
The drive did not prove very socia-
bic one. Lord Dudley took his seat
and Immediately relapsed into silence,
his thoughts apparently engrOssed by
some unpleasant subject Presently he
began to speak in a low but distinctly
audible tone of voice, and his cOmpan-
ion, to his establishment heard him
say:
I'm very sorry | accepted his offer
| don't know the man. 1t was civil
certainly, but the worst is / suppose
I must ask him to dinner"
Silence followed this bit of audible
thinking His lordship was unaware
that he had betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon
the same unpleasant subject when the
voice Of his companion broke the still
ness.
Apparently this stranger was afflict-
ed with the same malady from which
his lordship suffered, for he exactly
initiated Lord Dudley's tone as he
said:
Perhaps he'll think did it to make
his acquaintance. Why, l would have
done the same to any farmer on his
estate. | hope he won't ask me to din
ner, for | shan't accept his invitation"
Lord Dudley's abstraction was all
gone He listened to the others words.
Immediately compreheHding the joke
against himself and frankly offered
his hand to his companion, making
many apologies for his involuntary
rudeness
The stranger proved magnanimous,
and from that night the two became
fast friends.

The Mary Cro\u

The crow IS useful in killing mice,
snakes, lizards and frogs and is a
splendid scavenger He is quite wary,
will always fee from man with a
gun, but pays little attention to the
ordinary pedestrian. These birds are
gregarious in their habits and make
their large, untidy nests at the tops of
trees. They come in fiocks to the sleep
ing grove, sit around on the ground,
and when all are assembled they rise
simultaneously and scramble for nests.
Crows mate for life.

The first saloon to leave Pullman
under the new order of things is max .
ing room for a place of amusement
that can be enjoyed by all our citizens.
We believe that in the case of all the
saloons, the rooms will not long
stand vacant, but will soon be occu-
pied by establishments that will benefit
the entire public. Take the case of
the Hattrup saloon as an instance. For
the II years that the saloon was con-
Quoted, the Hattrup block was a dingy
looking, unattractive building, but
with the discontinuance of the saloon,
the front of the building was remod-
elled, and the structure now houses
three enterprising firms that are a
great addition to Pullman s CONNER
cial interests.

State May Aid
Local Highways

]. c. Brton, state road engineer is
in the city today from Olympia. look
ing over the proposed state highways
On Bryan avenue and the extension of
Park street. ell is going over the pro-
posed routes this afternoon and when
seen this noon had nothing to saw on
the local road question.
Il have just arrived and have had
no chance to see whether or not Wal
la Walla county has good roads; and
how her roads compare with those of
otker counties of the state. / cannot say
at this time what the chances are for
the new roads, and prefer not to be
quoted in the matter"
The, new roads are known as the
Seeber road, near the Miles c. Moore
residence and the Park street road
cut past III cemetery. If thy are passed
upon favorably, the state will aid in
building highways there similar to the
College Place road.
1.-THE whole state needs good roads
badly" said Mr.. Barton. There is no
better investment for property owners
.nan to make their roads good. In
eastern states it has been demonstrate
ell that good roads enhance the value
IF adjacent property Is to 80 per cent.
and the same would be true here. Els
pecially is this true in suburban locali-
ties. Good roads are never money
throvn away and this state could
stand many miles of road betterment
In building good roads an opportu-
nifty would be furnished for fasteners
to get through the state and really
see the country. but with roads such
tia they would be able to travel them
and be veil impressed with them, it
would mean much in inducing eastern
ers, and other homeseekers to locate
and invest their money. l am a good
roads enthusiast and am doing all I
can for the cause"
