AMERICAS AWFUL FIRE LOSSES.

Fire lis one of the wasteful exErav-
agances of the American people.
We have been extravagantly waste
full in the past in building without
much regard to the destruction by
fire, and in this respect We have
nearly bankrupted insurance COM
panies and expended in rebuilding
nearly as much as originally invest
ed. Indeed, i'm some years we burn
UP more than we actually build.
This was VIGOROUSLY the case in
the year of the great San Francisco
| fire and in the first half of the panic
| year of 1908. In normal year, such
as 1907, we lost through fire build
ings valued at 215,OO0,O0O. Some
years we run ais high as half a bill
ion dollars in fire losses, and again
we get along with a loss of only
$500, 100000.
losses i'm this country that little at
tention is paid to one that causes
a. loss of half million dollars. Such
fire gets no more than few
lines in the national press unless
there are narrowing accounts of lives
jeopardized Even the newspapers
are not reused from their apathy
regarding fires unless there is some
thing spectacular about them, and it
takes a catastrophe that wipes out
half a city to induce them to give
big scarehead lines. In New Yory
City we suffer an annual fire less
of between six and eight million dol
lars, but only few of these altraot
any special attention. 1t is estimated
that lit costs the city over $50,000,-
900 a year to protect itself from
fires, including the private and pub
lie protection and equipment and
maintenance of the fire depar; sment.

OAK RIDcs SNAKE STORY.

The following is am extract from
a. letter received by the Vicksburg
Democrat from w. r. K Stevens of
Oak Ridge:
had enough bottled in Bond
to make me a good flip, had one
old hen laying, and as my wife was
away from home and / was kinder
lonesome, l thought to myself when
l hear that old hen cackIe, III go
When the hen cackled was
busy and couldn't go right then
and when | did get there, a
thief i'm the shape of large
chickentsnake had beat me to it. The
hem layed in a box. The snake had
swallowed the egg and his tail was
hanging about half way over the
edge of the box. l slipped into the
house and got my Winchester and
shot him in two when he hung over
the edge of the box His tail fail
ing ON the ground and the part
with head ON, remaining in dhe box.
He was just in the act of swallowing
the egg when / shot him. Now
when he swallowed the egg, lit of
course went right on through him,
and When he locked around and saw
the egg he thought it was another
egg and proceeded to swallow 1T
again, of course with Ike result, all
of which of course was very anus
ing to me, especially as I thought
l could watch the fun as long aus 1
wanted to and still get the egg.
SO he swallowed that egg for
about Is times, then he seemed to
step, and think a little. 1t seems
that he caught on. Now do you
think that snake didn't beat me out
of that egg after all? He began as
l thought to get into his cell, and
the first thing l knew, and before
could recover from my surprise, me
had tied neat little knot as close
to where his latter end was shot off,
as he could get it, had swallowed
that egg again and was gone.
