Residence Occupied by B. F. Rankin
on the castner Farm, South Of
49,. Tyrone, Destroyed Saturday.
Tyrone.-The dwelling occupied by
B. F. Rankin and family about a mile
south Of this place, on the B. p. Cast
ner farm was burned to the ground,
late Saturday afternoon. The dwell
ling and contents are total loss The
fire had gained considerable headway
when it was discovered by Mrs. Ran
kin and she had just enough time to
get the smaller chirdren out of the
burning building when 1t was seeth-
ing mass of flames. The origin of the
fire Is supposed to be defective flue.
E. HI. Murray, William and BARLEY
Feehan and J. M. Parker reached the
scene Of the conflagration while the
fire was at It's height and but for this
fact the large barn just across the
road north of the burning building to-
gether with the horses were in It
would have shared the fate of the
dwelling. AS 1t was it took heroic
work to prevent it from burning >as a
fierce south wind was blowing and
sweeping the flames and burning Gin
ders across the road, The barn was
on fire in three or four different places
but they succeeded IN saving 1t. There
was insurance on The building and Mr,
Rankin carried about 5000 on the
household goods which win cover
about so per cent Of the loss he has
sustained.

In speech tn the senate the other
day, Senator Hale, chairman of the
committee on naval affairs, made the
assertion that "if there should be
war, our magnificent feet would be as
useless as painted ship on painted
ocean," Senator Hale was referring
to the fact that there were with the
American fleet on the trip around the
world only nine colliers of our own
while there were twenty-eight foreign
colliers.
The people do not realize how help
less this fleet Is without GOLFERS" de-
clared Senator Hale. If there should
be even a menace of war, l do not
know but that every neutral power
represented in these ships would be
compelled to withdraw them from the
fleet and we would be hung up
Senator Hales warning should be
noted, and if the conditions that he
points out exist, certainly steps should
be taken to provide enough colliers to
take care of the feet.

HOME GROWN DUKES.

& AS a general rule solution is found
In time for every difficulty. Some
times, it is true, the skies look black,
things are bad and growing worse
and there does not seem to be any
chance Of letting the blessed sunlight
IN, but just about that time some one
Invariably jumps in with a plan Of
settling the difficulty so simple that
we wonder why we did not think of it
before.
The alarming spread of the habit
among American heiresses of marry
ing titles furnishes an Illustration Of
this. The country was beginning to
grow alarmed; statesmen were on the
verge of panic and we're considering
the advisability of putting tax on
the heiresses to make them less al
Turing in the eyes of titled foreigners.
Then an easier solution was found by
Congressman De Almond of Missouri,
who told congress of a plan not only
- settle the vexing question of title
wedding, but to provide useful pur-
pose to which the Philippines may be
devoted. Here is the way Mr.. De Ar
mond sizes it up:
Why not raise in the Philippines.
instead of importing, the necessary
quantitum of barons, and dukes, and
counts, and other titled bipeds?
There would be no trouble, in ne
gotiating with our home made dukes.
We could fix our own tariff rates and
determine what we should pay for the
privilege of exporting to the Philip
pines such of our daughters as would
- esire to part with right handsome
t.
Another argument in favor Of rails
| ig home grown dukes for alliances
With American heiresses is that they
might be led to the altar without vio-
lating the constitution. Viewing the
matter in this light Mr.. De Almond
said:
Now, as it is as present, there is
an export duty on these American
girls sent to foreign parts.
sa "That was contrary to the provis-
ions of the constitution, but it would
be cheaper to get the titled gentle
men from the Philippines, and in har-
mony with the protective policy of the
republicans
Here is an experiment that might
be tried. Certainly the Philippines
could raise as good specimen of a
duke as Alice Thaw's Yarmouth and
as good count as Anna Goulds Cas-
tellane. Comparison with Gladys
Vanderbilt's Szechenyi and the
Abruzzi Katherine Elkins hopes to
land, of course, is not possible at pres
ent as they have not been given Il
sufficient trial to determine their
worth

SOME OF THE NEW
NATURAIZATIO RULES.

With the approach of spring and
fall election. Clerk of Courts Seguin
and his deputies are besieged daily
by persons in quest of information
concerning the new naturalization
law. Although the law has been in
effect for more than year. it's pro-
visions are not we'll understood bv
everyone as yet. hence the court
officials are called upon to explain
some of the knottv questions.
First of all. it is not generally
understood that the law does not
affect persons who filed their declar-
ations before Sept. 7. 1906, when the
new regulations became effective.
One feature the officials find is very
little understood is that there is a
rigid time limit as to the granting
OF the citizenship privilege. and
under the law. only those who are
bona hde residents of the United
States are granted that privilege.
Such persons must have resided in
the United States at least five years
and in the state at least one year.
The second paDers are not granted
to any Ole within two years after
the filing of the declaration. when
the first papers are taken. But such
declaration must be followed by an
application for full citizenship, with
in seven years. or the entire action
becomes void. and the application
must start over again. The .ap-
plicant who makes his declaration
must be at least Is years of age.
AS a precaution against election
frauds, the law provides that no
citizenship papers shall be issued
within 30 days of general election.
Parties making application for
citizenship are required to have two
reputable witnesses, who are them.
selves citizens of the Unuited States
and VINO shall have known the
applicant for'at least five years. and
testify as to his good character and
desirabilitv as citizen. Elk.

the teachers work cannot BE- in the
highest degree successful. 49, 1880
Children cannot fail to make pro-
gress in their studies, who have the
advantage of instruction by an
ambitious, conscientious teacher,
and some will advance more rapidly
than others according to their in
dividual Abilities; but given the CO.
operation of all the patrons of the
school the progress of all the pupils
would be much greater and more
uniform. and therefore much more
satisfactory to both parents and
teachers. =
= The child who is allowed to be

to his parents and to have his own
way at home does not change his
habits when he crosses the threshold
of the school room.'
