Fire Means Free Lunch.

The fire alarm sounded and a
vagrant who had been huddled in a
dark hallway crept out and Joined the
crowd hurrying to the midnight fire.
Presently others Of his fraternity ap-
peared.
why do all you Johnnies always
break your necks to get to a FREE"
said a man who was something of a
fire fiend himself.
The vagrant pointed to a woman
who was emerging from a nearby
apartment house carrying a pail of
steaming coffee.
There's the answer" he said. "At
every winter fire that gives the fire
men a hard tussle the women of the
n~eighborhood bring out coffee and
sandwiches to brace them up. Some.
times the firemen have time to snatch
a bite, sometimes they don't. Any
how there is Ire to be something left
over, and the women-well, it's q hard
hearted woman that won't give a poor
devil a cup of coffee a night like

The mar kept an eye on his candid
derelict. He got two cups of coffee
and two sandwiches.

1sY OR CARE" THE QUESTION
Professors Of English Differ Widely
as to Some Correct Forms
of Speech.

That grammar knows how even to

Melville B. Anderson of the English
department at Stanford university is
authority for the statement that gram.

itself be controlled by such humble
things as states of mind, the San
Francisco Chronicle says.
Prof. Anderson's views were called
out by a question which was submit.

Mills Gayley, the latter of the English
language and literary department OF
the University of California.
Which. it was asked, is correct
"The strength and the position of the

and the position of the bank are we'll
known?" Prof. Anderson answered
offhand that ARE" should be used,

is the correct form in grammatical so

The difference of opinion between
the two authorities was ~disconcerting

ROMANCE OF sPAIN's RULER
According to This, His Choice Of Life
Partner Really Was Dictated
by His Heart.

Like his father before him, Alfonso
XIII, when his ministers began to
hint discreetly about possible alli-
ances. contented himself with reply
ing:
Il shall marry a princess who takes
my fancy, and nobody else. I want
to love my wife,"
When the king went to England no
one doubted for a moment he would
return engaged-and engaged to Pa
tricia Of Connaught. AS a matter Of
fact, when the Two young persons met
they did not attract each other. But
at the ball given in the kings honor
at Buckingham palace, Alfonso eve
took his eyes off a fair haired young
princess, whose radiant beauty shed
all the glory of spring round her.
who is that?" asked the king.
Princess Ena of Battenberg," was
the reply.
The two were presented, Grnced and
talked together, and met again on the
next day and on the following days.
And when the king returned to
Spain he left his heart in England.
But he did not breathe a word about
1t. He who had once been so expan-
sive now became suddenly contempla-
tive and reserved.
Soon after his return he ordered a
yacht, and when the time came to
christen her he made the builders
paint on the prov in gold letters:
PRINCESS $500"

Niagara Glen Worth SEEING.

Niagara glen is a great place for
botanists. Many fine specimens grow
here. and since the park commission
ers have cleared it of Objectionable
features so that it is hardly to be
called a wild place. it certainly might
be termed weird. A place that should
be sought out by nature lovers but
hardly the tourists-it means work
and time to see it we'll, and it is no
place to go alone, but a guide is most
always there to take n through.
Probably not more than two or three
out Of each thousand visitors to Nj
agara Falls ever hear of this place
and perhaps fewer see it.-New Or
