Five-Cent Pieces.

Few people have any conception of
the cumulative power of five cent
pieces.
The total passenger receipts of the
traction companies of Greater New
York in the fiscal year ended June 30.
1907. amounted to $65, ,56s. .031. This
was the sum of 1911, 1860, 800 Scent
pieces collected as fares from that
number of passengers. These cent
pieces, rolling over and oyer like a
SNOWFALL finally became tremendous
globe of money, which exercises great
financial power in the city and the
country.-Wal Street journal.

This is No Joke

If you toot your little tooter
And then lay aside your horn,
Think not soul in ten short days
Will know that you were born.
The man who gathers pumpkins
Is the man who plows all day.
And the nan who keeps it hum pins
Is the one who make it pay
The man who advertises
With short and sudden jerk,
Is the man who blames the editor
Because it didn't work.
The man who gets the business
Takes q long and steady pull,
And keeps the local paper
From year to year quit full.
He plans his advertisements
In a careful, thoughtful way,
And keeps forever at it
Until he makes it pay.
He has faith in all the future.
Can Withstand sudden shock,
And like the man OF Scripture
Has his business on rock.

llOll DdSt IL
building was enveloped in flames
The department had the fire under
control soon after their arrival but
even then the building was gutted
from top to bottom and burned be-
yond hope of repair. 1t stands this
afternoon a mere charred shell. AS
it is within the fire limits and is of
frame, the authorities will not permit
II to be repaired.
The fire attracted great crowd
and caused much excitement.
The outfit of the dye works was
completely destroyed. There were
large number of garments belonging
to various local people in the build
ing to be cleaned and pressed or
dyed and all of these were burned.
Many were of more than ordinary
value.
In the rooms on the second floor
everything went up in flames and
smore. One roomer lost three suits
of clothes.
AS the building cannot he repaired
it is a total loss and the contents are
total loss. There was no insur-
ance on the building or the contents.
1t is hard to estimate the entire loss
but it is thought to be in the neigh
borhood of $500. On the dye
works people the loss is especially
severe. The building was owned by
Henry f. Barnard, of Denver. who
owns considerable property here.
The fire department was not han
dicapped by poor pressure on the
water for the pressure was fine and
the hose and hydrants worked we'll
for such cold weather. The depart
ment did most effective work.
After it was thought the fire was
entirely out and the department had
just left flames broke out again in
!, the roof of the building. The de
partment returned quickly and eX-
|>tinguished the renewed flames.
There was a rumor that, n little
child was burned to death in the fire
but this rumor. although it was cir
cuiatcd for quite a while and caused
much excitement, proved to be un-
true.
1t was remarkable that Mrs. Dom
mick. who was working almost over
the tub of gasoline was not fatally
injured or killed outright instead of
escaping with slight injuries while
the boy who was working near her
was 50 horribly burned.

Hotel Hatton with bullet hole in his
knee as the result of an early morning
encounter with a highwayman. which
occurred block away from the Fair

Bassett, who is of athletic physique,

small hours of the morning When

robber. a quick duck, ending in a
sprawl on the part of the victim. and
the fight was on.
Bassett, in falling, landed on a half
brick with his right hand, and with the
same hand hurled the missile at the
head of his adversary. Being big
game hunter. his aim was good, and
only the hard felt hat saved the skull
of the thug, who turned and ran, blaz-
ing away with his revolver and fol-
lowed by his intended victim.
More bricks and bullets followed, and
one of the latter plowed its way
through Bassetts leg. He collapsed,
and 1t was some time before he was
able to painfully crawl to the hotel.

Although the bullet, which was of
small caliber, luckily did not shatter
the bone, it made an ugly wound in
the knee, and 1t will be some weeks be-
fore Bassett will be able to regain the
use of the limb.

would come back to Nevada from Paris
to wed him during the holidays.
Macmillan, gaining wealth from a
rich lease in Goldfield, started to spend
it like prince. when he met Miss
Goodrich. He confessed to the news
papermen here that before going to
visit her during the spring he bought
a dozen fancy vests in London but the
wardrobe was not all the actress want
ed-Nat Goodwin had that-and when
she learned that Harry was not SO
wealthy as reported, it is said. her
affection for him waned Macmillan,
according to advices from the southern
camp, worked all day today in overalls.
