HIS MISTAKE.
Why Lawyer eunsen Ceased to Be q
kidder.

Why Lawyer Bunsen Ceased to Be q
kidder.
Bunsen was always a great kidder.
He isn't any more.
Bunsen is a lawyer, although, OF
course, he is known by q different name.
Don't ever get the idea, though, that
this didn't really happen just because
Bunsen's real name isn't mentioned.
Well, as we were saying, Bunsen
used to be pretty much of kldder.
He would even kid his own patient
little wife. Those who care to read on
down little farther viii learn why he
ceased TO be ltidder.
One evening last week when Bunsen
got home his wife had new hat to
show him. 1t was some hat. Any.
body could have seen that 1t was the
flnal phrase In female headgear.
But Bunsen started In to make fun OF
II. He said It looked as If 1t had been
trimmed by a cross eyed milllner on ar
empty stomach. And he made lot of
other disparaging remarks that were
extremely harassing 10 poor Mrs. Bun.
sen. "D'je buy It sight unseenT" he
inquired. Say, how much do they
pay the girl that sold you that? She
ought TO have raise. Any girl who
could put that one over customer
must be something of a smooth sales
lady, I'm here to remark"
Mrs. Bunsen was almost in tears
Bunsen had to go into the other room
TO have quiet laugh at her expense
Oh, he was the great kidder, all right!
The next day, though, he had for
gotten all about the hat
The day after that he was reminded
of his little jokefest. Mrs. Bunser
handed him a slip Of paper when be
came home TO get his victuals that
evening. 1t was bill for retrimmlng
that hat-$1S.34 II came to.
Bunsen paid 1t without murmuI

SIX DEAD IN FIRE.
Family of Five Among Victims 2
 Brooklyn Tenemant Blaxe.


 New York. May 4.-Fire in a four story brick tenement at 17 Humboldt street. thickly populated section q Brooklyn, caused the death of six per- sons. and the serious injury of four others. Every member of one family, including the mother and four children, are among the dead. There were many thrilling rescues by police and firemefi, and it was due to the brave work or these guardians of the public that the death list was not larger. A half doz- en or more persons who were trapped in the upper stories were saved by jumping into life nets. The financial loss caused by the fire is estimated at $10,000.
 Those who met death are. Mrs. Dora Abrams, sixty-two years old; Sadie Abrams, twenty-two years old; Carrie Abrams, twenty years old; Anna Alb rams, sixteen years old; Charles Ab- rams, twenty three years old, and Mrs. Jennie Cohen. sixty-eight years old.
 The Abrams family lived on the third floor For some reason, probably the opening of several doors and windows which caused quick draft, the flames swept through their apartments so that the only way to escape death in the flames was by jumping from the windows. Charles Abrams and his sis ter Anna chose this method. Both struck an iron railing and were dead when picked up. Mrs. Abrams and her other children. Sadie and Carrie, were burned to death clasped in each others arms. Mrs. Abrams was the widow of Michael Abrams. who had been an in- terpreter in the police courts of Brook lyn for many years.
