We hadn't gone so very far into the woods when we were met by the news that the place was on fire. The woods were all burning, said our informer.

The brush was dry, and the whole region had gone up in smoke We'll, we did get In about six in the evening. only to find that the power-house had been licked by the flames, and the wa ter tank with 1t.

It seemed that the whole ground was |, ready to burst into flames, and if we hadn't kept up the water 1t would all have gone. Well, We looked about the mine. There were 50 men in the place.

City Makes Profit on Billboard Ads

city took all of a certain piece of prop erty on the Manhattan side facing the bridge except a narrow ribbon of land 3ia feet wide and 67 feet long.
 It was obviously impossible to erect any kind of an ordinary structure on this remarkable lot and there were no adjoining property owners to whom it could be sold The landholder was rescued from his dilemma by an archi tect friend who proposed the erection of huge fence 55 feet high to extend the whole length of the lot. This plan has been adopted and the surface of the fence will be rented for the dis play of advertisements.
 It occupies an advantageous posi- tion for the purpose, since it faces the bridge over which hundreds of thou sands of persons pass. Thus from his diminutive holding the owner of the lot will get surface area of some thing less than one-tenth of an acre, which he can rent, and from which he will receive an income of $150 a month, or as much as gOod-sized city house brings.

 Instantly the vehicle is identified by some idler, who pauses, lights a cigarette and starts in to wait and get glimpse of the noted financier He is joined by another, then an other. and then few stenographers who have escaped from their offices early, also stop and chew their gun while they wait. A few messenger boys out with rush telegrams ado their presence to the rapidly growing crowd, and soon there is group that almost attains to the dignity of mob.
 At length the crowd is rewarded MT. Morgan appears at the door, gaze. in a surprised sort of way over the crowd, then hurries to his machine and is rapidly carried away. Ther the crowd disperses to meet again oy the following day.

k LMOST any woman would be 1 ready to cry her eyes out with sheer envy if she could see Mabelle Gilman Corey's gowns, jewels and the thousands of luxuries with which her husband, the steel king, has sur rounded her. Even the most serious minded of women, those who usually are not carried away by the follies and extrayagances of the rich, would feel their hearts beat quicker if they could wander at will through the greet French palace where the former actress now lives and see how her husbands wealth has poured out the sack of the whole world at her feet. She has money untold; she emulates royalty in the magnificance of her surroundings; an army of servants wait on her. There is not a single wish that money can gratify that she need let pass unsatisfied.
 Yet Mabelle Gilman Corey is unhap- py. She has been unable to buy SO cial recognition. The people she wants to know do not call.
 Mrs. Corey's years of life on the stage have made applause as the breath of life in her nostrils, and she misses it now. Surrounded by every magnificance, she finds the days dull and heavy She is now sure that the

THE ONE IMPERATIVE POINT
Hospital Employe Would Not Neglect Duty Even if the Patient
 Were Dying"

The doorkeeper at one of the Mill waukee hospitals is serious minded man and devotes himself to his job with a singleness of purpose which sometimes is productive of ludicrous results. One of the duties of this hon. est old fellow is taking the names of patients when they enter the hospital.
 The other day laborer was brought in by the emergency ambulance in e pretty badly battered condition. The laborer was scared and thought he was going to die.
 Vat iss the name, blease?" asked the doorkeeper as the injured man was carried into the hospital on Q stretcher.
 The laborer only groaned. "Oh, I'm dying. I'm dying" he cried.
 Vat iss the name, blease!" once more inquired the doorkeeper. to whom dying" patients are no novelty.

AMOS KEEPER writes: Please suggest some new and unique line of work for young man who is ambi- tious to rise quickly"
 Dear Amos, we approach your query with throb of the heart. If there is anything or anybody we like to see. it is a young man who is so full of ambition that he cant eat. And young man who Is so ambitious to rise quickly that he dislikes to take the elevator to the nineteenth floor and begin at the top as janitor, or something on that order, gets a wave of understanding from our mental economy
 So many young men of the pres ept day want to rise quickly, but lack ambition. They prefer the dynamite explosion route to success.

Gradually the business inter- est followed, pushing it steadily northward, as it continues to do to this day. The parade very gradually extended it's northern turning point further and further northward. More than half a century was needed to draw it as far north as the southern boundary of Washington square, but here it was once and for all definitely defected westward. By the close of the civil war it had commenced it's steady progress up Fifth avenue.
 It has been carefully estimated that the social center of town moves northward at exactly the rate of two blocks per year.
 To-day the line of march is taken up without interruption from Twenty third street on the south to the park entrance. When the shopping center took up its position definitely be- tween Thirty-fourth street and Forty second street the promenaders who had been drawn to Broadway desert ed it for the older avenue.
