Sunflower Philosophy.

In little country town, the ex-
IRENE in fashion always looks fast
If you want to set a woman
crazy, advertise a good dishpan for
10 cents.
A man never accumulates so
much money that it gives him the
right to be lazy.
A kicker is usually one who is
not busily engaged in any business
of his own.
An Atchison man belongs to so
many benevolent societies that he
is destitute.
No doubt economy is is a great
virtue, but some people have a lot
of money they never have any use
for.
There is nothing so unsatisfac-
tory as to announce that you have
a secret which no inducement can
prevail upon you to reveal, and
then have no one to coax you to
break your resolution.-Atchison

New York, Feb. 19-That extraoT-
binary bravery should not be ascribed
TO firemen who lose their lives in the
performance of their duty is the opin-
ion of Fire Chief Croker. expressed
in an interview regarding the death
of Deputy Fire Chief Kruger, who was
killed by falling through a trap door
into endorsement filled with water.
while seeking an opportunity to reach
fire which was raging in an adjoin-
ing building. Four other ffremen have
been killed within a month. The only
bravery firemen show. according TO
Chief Croker, is when they enter the
department. They know, then, that
they are taking their lives into their
hands, and that they are liable to be
killed at any moment After the first
plunge, all is a matter of simple duty
1t happened that those men got
killed. That is an eventuality which is
always reckoned on as a possibility by
fireman.
And that's all there is to it" says
the chief
''Firemen have been killed in this
city before poor Charley Kruger and
the other four lost their lives. Fire
men viii be killed right along. 1t can't
he helped" Chief Croker said yeSter
day.
"Scme people say that firemen are
trained to be reckless. That isn't so.
Fire fighting is a business. The bust
ness of fireman is TO put, out the fire,
the quicker the better To put one
out. it is usually necessary to get
close to it, and the closer you get the
more DANGEROUS becomes your posi-
ton. Accidents VIII happen There
