to the home of John Miller, at
500 West South street, at about
6 80 o'clock this morning. Fire
had broken out in the roof of the
dwelling, but before it had done
any farther damage than burn a
small hole in the roof, was ex-
tinguished. 1t is supposed the
fire started from sparks thrown
by the early Vandalia train.

She picked up a paper again, and
regarded him furtigely. Then she bent
over it, and slowly scanned the pages,
until a sudden Mortified gasp drove the
roses from Mr.. Primers cheek and
prepared him for the worst.
''Wot is it?" he stammered.
Mrs. Pinner folded the paper back
and, motioning him to silence, read as
follows
"A violent assault was committed

Police Constable c 40 paced slowly
up Mapping High street in the cool
Of the evening, The warehouses were
closed and the street almost denuded
of traffic. He addressed a short and
stern warning to a couple of youths
struggling on the narrow pavement
and pointed out-with the toe of his
boot-the undersirability of the curb
stone as a seat to small maiden of
five. With his white gloves in his
hand he swung slowly along, monarch
of all he surveyed.
His complacency and the air with
which he stroked his red mustache
and side-whiskers were insufferable.
MIR. Charles Pinner, ships fireman,
whose bosom friend c 40 had pinched,
to use Mr.. Pinner's own expressive
phrase, a week before for causing a
crowd to collect, eyed the exhibition
with sneering wrath. The injustice
of locking up Mr.. Johnson, because a
crowd of people whom he didn't know
from Adam persisted in obstructing
the pathway had reduced Mr.. Pinner
to the verge of madness. For a time
he kept behind 9 40 and contented
himself with insulting but inaudible
remarks upon the color of his
whiskers.
The constable turned up a little al
ley-way between two small pieces of
waste ground, concerning the desir-
ability and value of which as building
sites a notice board was lurid with
adjectives. Mr.. Pinner was still be,
| hind; he was a man who believed in
taking what life could offer him at the
moment, and something whispered to
him that if he lived a hundred years
he would never have such another
chance of bonneting that red-whis-
| kered policeman. There were two or
three small houses at the end of the
alley, but the only other living person
! in it was boy of ten. He looked to
| be the sort of boy who might be
trusted to smile approval on Mr.. Pin
ners contemplated performance.

ney had fallen, and his one idea was
to catch it in the act He made a
! desperate grab even before pushing
his helmet up, and caught Mr.. Pinner

'Leggo," said that gentleman, strug.
Cling.
"Ho," said c 40, crimson with wrath
as he pushed his helmet up. Now
you come along O me, my lad"
Mr.. Pinner, regretting the natural
impulse which had led to his undoing
wreched himself free and staggered
against the fence which surrounded
the waste ground Then he ducked
sideways, and as C 40 renewed his in
vitation, coupled with warning con
cerning the futility of resistance
struck him full and square on the
temple.
He reached his home, small house

chair. breathed heavily, while his wife,
whose curiosity at seeing him home
at that early hour would not be denied,
piled him with questions.
Mr.. Pinner, still intent on footsteps,
grumbled something beneath his
breath, and the baby being awakened
out of its first sleep and brought down
stairs, they contemplated each other
for some time with offensive curiosity.
Until next morning Mr.. Pinners odd
reasons for his presence sufficed, but
when he sat still after breakfast and
showed clearly his intention to re-

l doubt if many women-many moth
ers-realize that the habit of criticism is
one of the most destroying elements in the
home to-day. The effect upon children es-
pecially is markedly harmful. Criticism,
whether it comes from the reviewer, the
preacher, the teacher, the moralist or the
mother, should be of a constructive nature
to have any rightful place in the building
of life to-day.

for him. The public houses are being
watched"
You'll be quite safe indoors" said
his wife, whose plan was now per-
fected. "The only thing is, people II
wonder what you're staying indoors
all day for"
Mr.. Pinner took his pipe out of his
mouth and stared at her blankly.
"Whitewash the kitchen ceiling"
she said, suddenly.
"'Ow long would that take?" de-
manded her lord, who was not fond Of
whitewashing.
Then you could put a bit of paper
in this room," continued Mrs. Pinner,
"and put them shelves in the corner
what you said you'd do. That would
take some time"
1T would" agreed Mr.. Pinner, eying
her disagreeably.

try and think of some more,' inter-
rupted his wife.
The baby was crying, the breakfast
things were not washed, and there
were several other hindrances to
journalistic work.
Mr.. Pinner said that all wall papers
were alike to him, and INDUCED in
dreary speculations as to where the
money was to come from Mrs. Pin
ner, who knew that they were saving
fast owing to his enforced seclusion,
smiled at his misgivngs
He papered the room that day after
a few choice observations on the price
of wall paper, and expressed his opin-
ion that in a properly governed coun-
try the birth of red-whiskered police
men would be rendered an impos-
sibility. To the compliments of his
workmanship bestowed by the gratifed
Mrs. Pinner he turned a deaf ear.
There was nothing in the paper next

ing somewhat fatigued, but she
promptly quelled her husbands JOY by
suggesting that the police authorities
were lying low in the hope of lulling
him into a sense of false security.

protested.
''Wot'B the good OF seeing the pa.

He went upstairs, leaving his wife
wringing her hands below. So fai
from the red policeman being in bed
she was only too well aware that hs
was on duty in the district, with every
faculty strained to the utmost t

In our generation women have forced
their way into almost every department
of life. After you have let them work in
your factories, in your fields and mines, in
your bars and workshops, in your gardens
and postofices and counting houses, after
you have let them practice medicine and
study law, it is too late to turn back, or to
refuse them the rights of their new posi-
ton. Those who object to female suffrage,
who say that woman's sphere is the home,
should have kept her there. Too late to
turn the key on her now-she is not at
home.

One important phase OF the policies OF

anxiety to secure for the wage-earner an

The Republican party has passed an em-
ployers liability act for interstate raii-
roads. and has established an S-hour law
for government employees and on govern
ment construction. The essence OF the re-
form effected by the former Is the aboli-
ton OF the feilow-servant rule, and the
Introduction OF the comparative negligence
theory by which an employe injured In
the service Of his employer does not lose
all his right TO recover because OF slight
negligence on his part Then there Is the
act providing for compensation for injury
TO government employees. together with
the various statutes requiring safety ap-
fliances upon interstate commerce rail-
roads for the protection OF their employees
and limiting the hours Of their empoly-
