A Breach of Good Form,

There is Il little east end girl, still
under six, who reaches the limit In the
matter of s~ensitiyeness. Likewise she
has her points in respect to dead game
ness. She was taken about a week ago
to spend a few days with her aunt.
The little miss played around in front
Of her aunt's place for awhile. Then
her aunt let a playful young terrier
into the yard, saying to the child:
'"This is your little four footed cous
H."
Five minutes later the aunt returned
to the front yard to call the Kid into
the house, but she wasn't anywhere to
be seen. The fox terrier was playing
alone. There was q scrambling hunt
for the child and all kinds of alarm,
but the little girl didn't turn up. The
aunt hustled into town. The little girl
was home with her mother.
She had walked right to the car for
town as soon as the fox terrier pup
was presented to her.
"Why didn't you stay at aunty'sT'
her mother asked her In surprise.

His Turn Came.

Ben Davis defeated President Madi-
son for election to the Virginia house
of delegates after Madison had left the
White House. Old Davis, who seldom
wore a coat, was sitting on a rail fence
on the roadside in Greene county one
morning when q young man dressed in
dapper fashion and evidently from the
city passed by.
Good morning" said David, with
the proverbial Virginia politeness.
To this the stranger paid no atten-
ton. In a few minutes, however, he
came to a fork in the roads and was
evidently In doubt which way he
should go. He retraced his steps to
where Davis still sat on the fence and
asked him with great politcness If he
could tell him which way led to Stan
ardsville. Davis made no reply.
"WiIl you please tell me-" the young
man repeated, (which road I take to
get to Stanardsville?"
"You can" said Davis stolidly. take

The Irishman's Resource.

In his volume of essays, Dreams
Dead Earnest and Half Jest" Mr..
Coulson Kernahan compares his COM
patriots, the natives of the Green Isle,
with the English:
'"That your Englishman never knows
when he is beaten is the veriest plati-
tude. In all the world there is no ma
tionality which a play a losing game
with such desperate +doggedness. 1
venture to think, however, that the
Irishman-and therein is perhaps a
reason why he excels in the art of war
lis more resourceful, is quicker to
think and quicker to act.
"An Englishman, finding himself in a
corner SO tight that any one else would
decide at once that there was nothing
for it but surrender or retreat, says,
Here / am, and here I'll stick to be
shot at till I'm killed or till relief
.comes.' An Irishman In the same place
would say: It's the mischief's own
hole I'm in! But wait now! What
way II / be getting outT And get out
the Irishman generally does, for he is
so resourceful that his resourcefulness
might sometimes be better described
as slipperiness."

a Iamuer,s Paradise

Naples, under Spanish rule in the
eighteenth century, was overrun with
lawyers. OF their profusion Joseph
Addison had this to say:
at is incredible how great a multi
tude of retainers to the law there are
at Naples. 1t is commonly said that
when Innocent XXI. had desired the
Marquis of Campo to furnish him
with 10000 head of swine the mar
quis answered him that for his swine
he could not spare them, but If his
holiness had occasion for 10000 law
yers be had them at his service"
1t seems to have been a golden age
for lawyers, for, as the author says,
there are very few persons of con-
sideration who have not a u de-
pending, for when a Neapolitan has
nothing else to do he generally shuts
himself up In his closet and falls a
tumbling over his papers to see If he
can start a lawsuit and plague his
neighbors ."-Dietetic and HYGIENE Ga

PUBLIC OPINION
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Will you kindly submit the fol-
lowing to the public? If it is just
and legal to publish names of delin-
quent taxpayers-regardless of the
facts in the case-would it not be
wise for landlords to protect them
selves in the same way? I don't
mean by exposing or humiliating the
honest tenant, but as there is no re-
dress for the landlord against a dis
honest tenant, should he quietly suf-
fer the loss of rent, pay repair bills
for wilful damage and finally lose
his property, because unable to bear
the continuous physical and finan-
cial strain?
This, 81 course, has no reference
to the wholesale dealer to whom the
loss of rent of one or more of his
many houses would be no inconven-
fence. But take the owner of one
house, and the income from it when
all paid is insufficient to meet ex-
penses, then imagine what the loss
of even one weeks rent would mean
and how much more serious as the
weeks multiply.
In view Of the fact that so many
tenants expect to steal their rent by
staying wherever they move as long
as they can without paying, would
it not be well to establish a Land
lords Protective Bureau, and pub
lish the names of such, and those
who deliberately destroy and deface
the premises, and also keep a list of
desirable tenants that the agents
may know who to recommend and
who to refuse.

First Baptist Church Filled
With Interested Auditors
Excellent Sermons.
TALKED WITH THE MEN

There are preachers and preachers;
but DIR. Sturgeon, who is now with the
First Baptist Church, of this city, for
a ten days mission for the deepening
of the spiritual life, belongs to the class
of those whose preaching may be char
acterized as safe, sane and wholesome.
The morning congregation yesterday
was goodly sized, while a fine body of
men gathered together at the afternoon
service for men only. But in the even-
ing the house filed up completely.
DR.. Spurgeon took for his theme in
the morning The Greatest Force in the
World" preaching from the words of
Jesus, "And l, If 1 be lifted up, viii
draw all men unto me-" Love was
shown to be a %nfightier force than
money, pleasure or sin; for while the
latter will pass away, the former will
abide forever. At the men, service,
DR.. Sturgeon addressed those present In
answer to the question: 'sIs Life
Worth Living?D An aimless, selfish,
fast or goddess life was disclosed in all
its worthliness, and over against it was
placed the Christian life, the only one
worth while. The evenings sermon
dealt with the problem, els Religion an
Advantage7' Religion never deprives
anybody of anything that truly makes
him happy, its rules are never hard on
the one practising them, and it is a
gain for this world as well as for that
to come. "Men,'' he said, 4make
much of dying, while God makes much
of living.p There were many striking
ly beautiful passages in both me
and the address, such as those who
heard will long wish to remember.
DR.. Sturgeon will continue every aft
t|ernoon this week with the Bible read
ings from 3:45 until 4:3o and preach
ing every evening at 7:45. This af-
t%ernoon's topic will be "The Singing

The singing yesterday was unusually
hearty and full of volume, the eongre-
cations joining with zest in the sing
ing of the familiar hymns. Mr.. Frank

ing and evening, while a male quartet
sang both in the afternoon and evening.

PLAN CHANGES
TO FIRE DEPT.
Chief Anderson Will Recon-
mend to Council Tonight--
Shift Some Apparatus.
TEST ALARMS TOMORROW

Changes and improvements to the
fire department will be advocated by
Fire Chief Theodore Anderson in a
communication which he will present
at the meeting of the Board of Alder
men tonight. The proposed improve
ments follow a letter sent by Garfield
Hose Company to the chief, request
ing that they be fitted with other
apparatus, in the shape of a steamer
and a combination hose and chemical
wagon.
The Garfield Hose Company's COM
munication will be received by the
Board of Aldermen tonight. Fire
Chief Anderson, in view of the fact
that a new automobile combination
hose and chemical wagon is shortly
to be purchased, aims to give the
northern section of the city better
protection. He has approved the re-
quest of Garfield Hose Company, and
favors the transfer of the Lincoln
steamer to the Garfield hose house
together with a new hose and chemi-
cal wagon. The vacancy at the Lin.
coin house will be filled by the auto
engine.
IhS hOoC bCIiutI VI IhC LAllSOll
company Chief Anderson wants
transferred to the Mcclellan house
and the tender of that company, with
the reel now used by Garfield Hose
Company, placed on reserve. He
wants a large new steamer placed
with the auto apparatus, in the Lin.
coin house, to be used only for fires
in the business section.
The two hose carriers on reserve
will be an innovation for this city
Heretofore every apparatus has been
in active use, save those now being
kept for no other purpose than to re.
mind old timers of former days.
The council may act on the com.
munication and the proposed changes
tonight. Until the auto apparatus is
purchased it is not likely that the
various wagons will be changed
about.
To test the fire alarm, following
the transfer of the batteries from
police headquarters to city hall
Chief Anderson will tomorrow morn.
ing turn in three alarms. They viii
be turned in from boxes 35, ~ anC
as, one OF each circuit, sometime
between 8 and $3.50 o'clock.
