Ice Cutting is Now On.

The first ice cutting or the year is
"on."
George Stalcup, who annually con.
tracts with number of the larger
private consumers, had men at work
hauling ice Monday morning. The
work of cutting ice began Sunday.
This ice is being obtained from the
vicinity of the sugar factory.
Last week the ice ran from eight
to ten inches and each succeeding
night of frost has added to its depth.
This will give between twenty and
thirty of the unemployed" around the
town an opportunity to go to work.
This year it is possible that il the
ice will stand for it the cut this year
will be in slight in excess of 1900
tons of natural ice.
The state hospital requires an even
million pounds of the necessity to
carry them through the heat of sum,
mcT, while the brewery vaults and ice
houses call for about 1000 tons of
natural ice between them. There are
also several smaller sawdust packed
storages scattered over town.
Retail ice dealers will start at once
to gather in the ice 'crop."
The Pure Ice company, which for
the last year has been manufacturing
ice for distribution, will lay up an
emergency supply of the real" article
in a warehouse at the Junction.

The question has already come up as mat

Perhaps they noted through the green vista

picture was familiar one to oil of them.

sense under the spell of that faculty which
Thurlow Weed years ago declared had Devil

indifference to the alluring possibility of a
residence within its walls. She had a can

were put squarely to her she was ready UNI
hesitatingly to aEow him.
The woman and children made altogether an
inconspcuous little group as they crossed
Pennsylvania avenue and entered the big triple
department building on the corner of Seven
teenth street. The Waterman at the door of
the war department and the messengers in
the corridors recognized them, however, as
they made their way toward the Office of the
secretary, returning the grinning sautations
that greeted them all sides.
Mrs. Taft wore white linen suit. A flower
laden hat shaded her face, which retains all
its girlhood contours. The door closed upon

WHAT WIFE SAYS GOES"
But Il Sometimes ls Bad for the
Painting.

When a property-owner knows moth
ing about paint IL is bad for the
property-owner and bad for the paint
er. 1t would not be so IL the property
owner would always hire a skilled
painter, and then really leave every
thing to him. But the HORSEPOWER SO
often fools himself on one or the other
OF these things.
The skilled painter in every commu-
nifty has some Of the most incomr etent
competitors that ever vexed a consci-
entious workman or contractor, and
the incompetents get jobs generally by
working cheap. In the next place,
when the skilled painter is hired, they
do not leave everything to him, as so
many property-owners boast they do.
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in
vestigating whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painters hurrying the work.
I'm not going to have that painters
mess around my house a month";" the
wife says, and what wife says goes
at the cost OF a lot of wasted painting
money.
If the painter stays away a few
days TO allow the paint to thoroughly
dry the owner says: THAT painters
neglecting this work-guess he's side
tracking me for Jones work / won't
stand it,"
What chance does painter have to do
good work for a man who is continually
nagging at him and otherwise handi-
Gaping him without meaning it, of
course)? A poor job is the inevitable
result of such interference.

money-don't forget that 1t might

RODS, when the heavens are lighted
with the glowing flames and fire from
its crater the Mexicans here sit at
their open windows and doors and
lounge upon the ben es in the pretty
plaza and view the grand spectacle
in silent wonder
SIS it not grand" they comment,
one to another.
To the natives the eruption does not
portend their possible destruction.
But they fear the earth tremblings
which frequently accompany the erup-
tons. An earthquake in TuXpan such
as has been occurring at frequent in
tervals since the volcano showed re-
newed signs OF activity quickly brings
the whole populace into the streets.
1t is said by scientists that these seis-
mic disturbances are wholly local in
character and are directly connected
with the eruption of the volcano.
Mount Colima is the only active vol
cano upon the North American conti-
nent. 1t had very few serious erup-
tons during the eighteenth century,
and the villages of the natives crowd
ed close up to its base. 1t was
not until 1869 that the first violent
outburst in its history occurred. Much
destruction of property and some loss
of life resulted from that eruption.
Other eruptions occurred in 1872, 1873,
1875 and 1903. The peak of Mount Co.
lima rose TO a height of 1880 feet
up to the eruption of 1903, when its
top was torn off and the height of the
mountain considerably reduced.
A few daring scientists have
climbed Mount Colima, with the view
OF making a close investigation of its
crater during the more passive pc
RODS of the old mountain. The trip
is considered very hazardous at any
time on account of the deep barrancas
that must be crossed.
