HENRY DADE FALLS FROM
EIGHTH FLOOR.

Don't bother me-" was about the only
remark Henry Dade, colored, made about
noon today when pedestrians went to as
sist him after he had fallen to the ground
from the eighth floor of the Cumberland
apartment house, Massachusetts avenue
near 14th street.
l have given him a thorough examina-
tion,' remarked DIR. Healey at the Elmer
gency Hospital later in the day. land I
can't find scratch about him. If he fell
all that distance, however. something
must have happened to him.
Dade said his only pain was i'm his
chest. He had misery there. he told
the physician, and all he wanted was to
be let alone. When he moved he seemed
TO be in great distress. Persons at the
hospital could hardly be induced to be-
liece that Dade had fallen about seventy
five feet and landed on the lawn without
breaking any bones.
Putting Up an Awning.
Dale fell while putting up an awning
There was nobody in tie room where he
was working when the accident happened,
and Dade was not inclined to display en-
ergy enough this afternoon 10 tell how
he came to fall.
Dade was working in the apartment of
George Il. Mcclellan. He had put up the
awnings each spring in the past five years
and taken them down in the fall.
He was naturally a very quiet man. ~
said Mrs. Mcclellan this afternoon. '.but
today he was lively and noisy. 1 was in
the room adjoining the one In which he
was working. l was asleep when the &C
cident happened and knew nothing until
some one in the house came and ex-
pressed sorrow for the accident
Mrs. Mcclellan said that Dade seemed
more careless today than usual. She no.
ticed he had stepped from one window to
another OH the outside and he did not
seem to use the same caution that he
had on former occasions.
Seen to Fall.
Persons on the street who saw him fall
felt certain he had been instantly killed
Some turned away. not caring to witness

and remained there until the ambulance
was summoned. DR.. Healey assisted

until he reached the hospital.
The physician was not told of the dis
tance Dade had fallen. and he was sur
prised later when informed that he had
fallen from the eighth floor. Dade lives

A VERY MOURNFUL BALLAD.

I'D EWARE!" said the bird with a
doleful roar
~ AS he wept by the willow tree
That. gnarly and hoar. by the
surging shore
Looks sadly out to sea.
For false is his heart as the supple ice
That glides DER the raging main
And nips at the tails OF the Shiny snails
That sither and Shrek in pain.
For never again, though rolliCsome rocks
Leap high in the sounding surf.
Shall you twist the neck of the key that
locks
Thy love in the sheetcd turf.
Far better to trust TO the ample dust
That swirls DER the murky marsh
Than to seek at noon by the low red
moon
For a love so grim and harsh"
So the lady heard the doorous bird
That sobbed by the saline sea,
And she lashed the rocks with her long
black locks
Till the pillows foamed like tea,
While the golden braid of the tortured
maid
Stood up in its wild despair
AS she tried in vain to assuage her pain
By eating her own back hair.
At the pale, cold dawn of the summer
morn
The fishermen came and found
Both sea and shore where they were be-
fore
And her harpins strcwn around

1t is said of Clarence o. Pratt, gen
eral organizer of the Amalgamated
Association OF Street hallway EN-
ployccs, that he is the most success
full strike manager in the world. He
has twenty victories to his credit. it
is declared, and has never led a fight
that resulted in utter rout He won
the big strike against the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit company last summer.
There is nothing savoring of magic,
however, in Pratts campaigns First
he holds the entire confidence of the
men he leads Next he never moves
blindly, but according to carefully
thought out plans. Every step he
takes is mapped for him by the legal
counsel of the union. Pratt is paid
Sc a day as expenses and salary and
IS constantly on the go. He has cov-
cred the country north. south. east
and west in the pursuit of his calling
organizing and managing strikes
Whenever call comes from some city
where street car men think they are
oppressed Pratt is sent TO investigate.
He says he never advises a strike un-
less convinced that is the only solution
and the conditions warrant so deSper-
ate an alternative. Another thing.
Pratt is opposed to violence. He be
lieves it weakcns his cause.

Servinq the Meal.

Serving the Meal.
In many homes where there is only
one maid to act as cook and waitress
the serving must be as simple as pos
sible. Very often, i'll fact. the house
keeper must herself act as both cook
and waitress, and then the serving
must be even more simple. But i'll any
case try to avoid the too common hab-
1t of putting everything on the table
at once and allowing each person to
help himself.
When there are boys and girls in
the family they should be taught to
take turns i'll serving. In that case or
when the houSckeeper is alone the first
course may be placed on the table be
fore the meal is announced. If it is
soup served from Il turccn the hostess
serves it from her end of the table,
or the soup may be served i'll the
kitchen and put at each place before
the family is seated. The soup plates
and tureCn are removed before bring
ing in the next course The meat plat
ter is placed at the head of the table
before the host, who should carve it
and, putting Il portion on each plate,
pass it to the person sitting at his
right. This person keeps it if Spe
ciallv requested to do so or passes it
on down the table, The Dotatoes and
other vegetables may be served by
the host if the family is small or by
some persou sitting near him. The
dinner dishcs-that is. the plates on
which the meat course was served
should be removed before bringing in
the salad or dessert. If both are in
cluded in the menu the salad is gen
orally served by the hostess. 1t is
quite permissible, however, to have
the salad arranged on individual plates
in the kitchen and placed on the table
at the beginning of dinner. Dessert
should be served by the host while the
hostess pours the tea or coffee. Pud-
ding sauce and cream and sugar are
passed. Bread and butter are usually
on the table throughout the meal and
are passed as needed. Celery and
olives are passed with the soup and
pickles with the meat course. Jelly Is
often passed with chicken, and apple
sauce should accompany roast pork.
In some households the business of
serving at table without maid has
been brought to perfection which is
worthy of emulation. In order that
it may be absolutely devoid of awk-
wardness it is necessary for each men,
ber of the family to be we'll schOoled
in his or her part 1t is nowadays the
fashion in some households to dispense
with the services of maid, at least
during the simpler meals of the day.
When there is a waitress she is eX-
pected to take the plate from the host
or hostess and place it before the per-
son for whom it was served. She
must place all dishes at the right side

$48,OO0,000 LOST BY FIRES
Census Bureau Makes interesting Re-
port on Annual Expenditure
for Protection.

Washington.-It costs each person
in the United States only $1.65 year
to go to bed early and sleep sweetly
with sense of security created by
the knowledge that if his house starts
to burn firemen will come quickly to
put out the flames. The census bu-
reau, which has made an investigation
of fire departments and fire losses in
the largest 1853 cities of the country,
recently issued an interesting report
on the subject.
In Berlin it costs only rs cents a
year, in London 10 cents and inMilan
II cents to sleep easily. The United
States geological survey has made
computations to show that this differ
ence exists because building restric.
tons in Europe are closer than in this
country, because there are more fire
proof buildings and because there
abe cost of maintaining fire depart
ments is not so high.
When it comes to conserving the
country's assets the toll of fire teaches
a powerful lesson. During 1907 the
largest 155 American cities lost more
than $4S,000,000 through fires, with in
surance amounting to $42,O00,0O0. II
costs these cities about $3S 100000 9
year to maintain their paid fire depart
ments. -
