QUINCY DEPOT
BADLY SCORCHED
Considerable Loss by the Fire Of
Yesterday Afternoon Including
Some Express Packages
and Dog.
THE BLAZE WAS SfERCE
Depot Agent Struck a Match and the
Head of 1t Fell Into Waste
Paper Basket and Then
Came Big Blaze.

Some Keokuk people may be losers
by the fire of yesterday afternoon in
the Q depot at Quincy, on account Of
express packages having been destroy
ed in tae blaze which was quite an
extensive one. The Quincy Whig re-
ports the fire as follows:
A disastrous fire started mysteri-
ously in the north end of the Chicago.
Burlington & Quincy passenger sta
ton at Second and Oak streets, short
ly after O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The loss is difficult to estimate, and
neither the agents of the road nor
those of the Adams express COM
pany feel like giving voice to what
the smoke and blaze will cost, but
from what they say it will run, all
told, probably between $4,000 and
$4,000. The destruction of property
will probably not be so heavy as the
loss from goods In the express offic-
es and such claims as Uncle Sam
will make for the mail room. not to
mention the losses sustained in the
dining room, although the latter are
supposed to be light. The fire attrac-
ted several thousand people to the
scene and it was probably one of the
most stubborn which the present
Chief of the fire department. has had
to contend with excepting the blaze
in the Wing block.

John Straley. the depot agent of
the Adams Express company, was
seen last night. Il struck the match
which started the fire. he said. Dur
ing the excitement of the blaze there
had been some difficulty in finding
out just who did strike the match
which is alleged to have started it.
Straley dismissed all doubts in this
direction He described the matter
in this way: II was standing at the
desk and struck match to light
cigar. The match broke in two and
the lighted end fell into the waste

he never saw a fire make such a sud

Little olga, Unlike Her Sisters, In
Always Leader of Some Mischief.
Olga, like so many children who are
the Oldest in family, has always been
a handful. says the WOman's Home
Companion in an article concerning the
Cars family About Marie and An
astasie and Tatiana there are many
pretty little stories Of charming child
ish ways, but almost every anecdote |
heard of Olga was when she had been
up to some mischief. One or two Of
these stories, however, are interesting
and show that even the mother side
of an empress life is very much like
the case of the Czarina, who mas ever
undertaken SO much more personal care
OF her children that most queensland
one may even say many mothers right
here in this land
One day, before the outbreak of the
war. when Olga was quite u little girl.
she was taken for drive with her
nurse along the Nevsky prospect, the
principal street in st. Petersburg. The
little grand duchess simply would not
behave. but was continually jumping
up and attracting the attention of peo-
pie along the streets.
Suddenly the child dropped back in
her seat. and sat bolt upright as quiet
as you please. her hands folded demure-
ly in her lap, After moment she
turned to her nurse and said: Did
you see that policeman" The nurse
replied she had. but there was nothing
extraordinary about policeman on the
street But this one was writing some
thing" pursued Olga. Il am afraid he
was writing, 4 saw Olga and she was
very naughty" When the nurse re-
piled that this was unlikely, Olga re-
minded her, somewhat reproachfully.
that few days before they had seen
policeman arresting a woman. ard
when Olga mad begged that she be let
OFF. the nurse had replied that tine WON
en- deserved TO be arrested. adding that
one had to be very naughty indeed TO
be taken off by the policeman In that
way
The incident evidently made deep
impression upon the child. AS soon as
she could. she related the whole affair
to the Car and the Czarlna, and ended
by asking her father IL he had ever
been arrested. The emperor laughed
and said he had never been quite
naughty enough Tor that, to which Olga
exclaimed. "Oh, how very good you
must always have been!'

out OF every ten persons talk entirely
too loud over the telephone. They
actually shout and make so much noise
that they drown out all semblance OF
clearness. Then they can't hear. and
the first thing you know there is a
complaint about poor connection and
faulty service. The correct way to talk
over the telephone is to talk as you do
In ordinary conversation. or even a tri-
fie lower. People can't seem to real
lie that the telephone will carry a
whisper even. No, they must talk loud
enough to be heard from 10th and

those be the connected points. Just

The Tnn-CIeyer Woman.

Man unjustly accuses woman of en-
joying monopoly of vanity, when, as
a matter of fact. no woman is any
more vain than most men, and in some
respects mere man is so much more
vain than woman that comparison is
ridiculous. A good many men spend
as much time as any belle over their
attire and the manner OF Ats aSsump-
tiOn on state occasions. but the real
vanity of man concerns his brains. He
likes clever woman. but the very in
slant he suspects she is cleverer than
he. he takes fright His vanity is
hurt.
lnasmuch as awe and love are not
given To rambling leafy lanes hand in
hand. and man in his superiority likes
to believe woman dependent upon him
mentally as well as for creature needs.
the woman who is really clever will
never allow her cleverness to obtrude
itself too strongly upon men. Wit is 4
good servant. but bad master The
girl who acquires Il reputation for put
ting on airs. or being smart" is never
popular among men. The too-clever
woman is handicapped by her clever
ness. 1t sometimes pays to pamper
foolish. egotistic man, and use wit
with discretion.
