Stunts II Ordinance
Passes

Now that the city and County has
a real, live Plumbing inspector all

PRODUCED to legalizc his job. tact.
dentaIIy the ordinance provides iul
a whole lot Of other things. in.
Guiding the licensing of plumbing
Contractors.
The springing of the ordinance
was little bit premature. Aylett.
in whose hands it had been placed,
was seized with the feeling that he
had not come sufficiently into the
limelight lately, 50 when he got the
chance he landed with both feet.
The bare fact that the County At
tOrney had not gotten the ordinance
into proper shape. and that the
Health Committee had several other
things coming that some Of the
members wanted to incorporate into
the document. had no effect on the
introducer and Aylett flashed II with
all the dignity of his Horace Greedy
impressivcncss, and 1t was in the
clerks hands before he could be
stopped. Then Il word was whis-
pered in his ear, and, after the read
ing, he moved that 1t be referred
back to the committee.
The ordinance provides, first Of
all, that a Plumbing Inspector shall
be appointed. II further provides
that all plumbing contractors doing
business In the City and County
shall register with the afOremen-
toned inspector. shall dig up $25 a
year in return for license which
the City and County Treasurer viii
issue, and shall put up a standing
bond of $500. Just what the object
Of the bond may be Is not stipulated
Every plumbing contractor, taking
a job larger than repairs to leakv
hydrant, will have TO get a permit
from the Plumbing Inspector, the
price to be 81 per permit
After the ordinance has been
hashed in committee and rehashed
in the County Attorneys office, II
will again make its appearance be-
fore the Board II went into con-
mittee last night without passing
first reading, the usual preliminary
procedure being upset.

H1Er 0POJT WHERE A r1AN ONCE
COrT1TTED SUICIDE,

you found yourself going down to what
you considered was certain death?
Many tales have been told Of persons
in like situations who have reviewed
their whole lives and all that sort of
thing. Did you have any Of these pano-
ramic thoughts?"
NO; only thought of how to keep
my head up above the water. I had no
other thought than that just to keep
my mind clear, though I really expected
to be killed in the end. In fact. it is
not right for me to say that 1 even
thought Of that, exactly. 1t would be
better to say that I followed an in
stinct of self-preservation which told
me that was the only way in which [
had the least chance to save my life.
Did you not say prayer. or some
thing In that line. or think Of your
mother or father"
mo. I didn't" said the young man.
earnestly Some people said that, be-
ing minister's son. 1 should have said
prayer for help. but I didn't. I was
not afraid Of death. 1 meant to do my
best. and II I had to die, why I'd die.
that's all. The first one I thought Of
mother. and l went home and told her
had fallen into the water before any
one had chance to brighten her with
the truth. But my little brother was on
the bank when the plank slipped and
went over. and he told my mother
was awfully worried. My father was
here in Washington, as we were all
coming back the next day. and when
he heard it he came out. and he was
more worried than my mother, for he
is not strong, and he said he could not
sleep all that night for thinking of It"
''Why, no; don't think I'm exactly
brave. 1 guess I'd have been as fright
ened as anybody else could II had had
time. Now that it's over 1 don't con-

THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD

but they were old-fa shioned in the right
way,
1.-THE girl Of the period" was a girl in
the highest acceptation of the term.
Though young in years, she was woman
ly through and through. and realized just
what was required of her in her station
in life.
She was a generous creature capable
willing. intelligent. modest and refined.
She scorned the veneer of stimulation and
was content to let her people see her as
she was, as God and nature intended she
should be. To paraphrase the words of
Shakespeare. the qualities We're so
blended in her that all the world could
stand up and say, Here is a girl
She was not confined by any bounda-
ries of nationality. She united in herself
wit and vivacity Of the French, the gen.
erous impulses and contented nature Of
the Italian, the economy and foresight of
the German, the thoughtful carefulness
and tidiness of the Scandinavian, the in
dustry and frugality of the English and
the purity and virtue of the Irish. The
finest characteristics of the Latin. Teu-
geneous and pleasing whole. Parallels
OF latitude or merdians of longitude had
no part in the formation of character.
she was like ray Of sunshine diSpel-
ling gloom from her surroundings. like

her scepter.
Men in the foolish blindness of strength
and power think they are the real lords
Of creation and rulers OF the world. They
are not and never have been. The hand
OF q woman has ever shaped the desti-
MES of the human family.
Irrespective OF her place as mother of
the race, ii has been wcman's influence
and intervention and counsel that have
brought about all the great events that
history records from the earliest times
TO the present day.
The women OF the past were true to
their mission and as Il consequence they

They began IN their 2irlhoCd to lay the

1t was on bright afternoon when the

inviting. that young Coe and companion
Of about his own age were amusing them

Few falls have a greater velocity. On

some distance above the top Of the falls,
while twenty feet or more below the
water strikes upon a number of large
rocks where 1t Is churned into a mass of
foam and tossed high into the air, while
the undercurrent is deep and strong.
Even from the distance many people
could see and realize the danger to which
the adventurous youths were exposing
themselves, and some spoke of the GER

precipitate. To look down into this seeth-
