Fire at AImshouse.

A fire alarm was turned in from the
county almshouse about 4 o'clock a. m
Tuesday, and the Wauwatosa Fire De-
partment responded promptly The
fire started, it is thought, from the
electric wires and it seemed for while
as though the fire would prove to he
one of the most disastrous ever in this
section, but the wind favored the men
who Were fighting the flames and no
lives were lost, Had the main build
ing taken fire the loss of life would
have been terrible. The loss is close to
$4,000 with no insurance. The boiler
aud engine rooms, bakery and laundry
are nearly a total loss. Work of
repairing was begun at once. Several
fire engines were dispatched from Mil
wautsee, but did not reach the building
the horses having given out.

there was great rejoicing on the part
Of those who have so long hoped for
and labored for this occasion. The
services were both beautiful and inn
pressive. Mr.. e. j. Lindsay, president
Of the Board of Directors, read brief
history Of the Home and introduced
the speakers. Rabbi Hirshburg gave a
strong address in which he greatly de-
plored conditions both economic and
social, that are largely to blame for
the downfall of so many girls. lie sew
erely rebuked the double standard"
by which society turns the cold should
er TO the fallen girl and at the same
time receives with open arms the man
who is the greater offender. Judge
Turner and Judge Neelen gave strong
addresses. Both pleaded for greater
interest in the young, who should be
kept from bad rather than being re-
claimed after they had gone wrong.
The building is to be very fine struc-
ture and the Board of Directors as well
as Mrs Julia Kurtz, the superinten-
dent, feel the location in Wauwatosa is
ideal. The building being erected at
ex 2ense of $50, 900 on "a four acre lot.
Judge Neelens suggestion that the
name be changed from The Milwaukee

Toofhbrushes.

''In the straight toothbrush one thigh bone of a beef twelve inches long and four in diameter will cut four perfect blanks. The same bone will cut only two of these fancy curved pieces. That's one thing that makes the diff ference in cost between plain and fan cy," said manufacturer. "When the bone is cut to length and shaped, bris- ties are hand drawn by wire or thread through the brush part, each group of bristles having it's own leader. Then they are securely fastened, and the work is finished When the bristles first go in they are fully three inches long. After being firmly secured they are cut down to. the size required. What bristle is best? We'll, in some re spects that's a matter of taste. It is all hog bristle, but whether soft or hard depends on the user."

There had been so many revolutions at home that the f1nanciers there had no time to send him his salary, but he took this misfortune philosophically, sold all the furniture of the legation except a bed, a table and some chairs and occupied one room with his principal attache, who cooked the meals.

why the Mystery Tale succeeds.


 The mystery element enters to a greater or less degree into fiction of every kind. Indeed, it is the base of, all literary interest. Primarily we read story ito see how it comes out" and, other things being equal, the story in which the element of sus- pense by deft construction and subtle shaping is most successfully maintain ed will be the most universally satisfy ing and popular. The mystery tale of today is story in which the element of suspense is deliberately enlarged and emphasized until it dominates ev- cry other consideration sin the story. Characterization, atmospho1e, emotion al values-all become subordinated to the great business of plot development. The marshaling of incident the sue cession of climaxes in crescendo order, the cumulative sweep of the narrative while the secret of the outcome is care fully withheld, Is the affair here. Like a periodic sentence of titanic size, the tale is unrolled until with the conclud- Ing paragraphs the meaning of all that has gone before is made clear.-Lee F. Hartman in Harper's Weekly.

Under very favorable circumstances a banana plant may give a stem of fruit in nine months, but it generally takes from fifteen to eighteen months for the average plantations to be in full bearing.
