POOR NAME, BUT GOOD JOKE
Editor-to-Be Could Not Accept the
One, Although He Appreciated
the Other.

The hero of this sketch was about
starting a paper in long-felt-want
neighborhood He was a real hero,
too, for only those of heroic mold ever
undertake a thing like that. He had
everything in pretty fair shape, ex-
cept the name, and that he took home
with him to his wife They had had
experience in naming several lapfuls
of babies, and he thought she might
render valuable assistance on this &C.
casion. After supper was over and
the things cleared away, they got at
it. and in very few minutes she came
up with what she thought was just
the thing in newspaper nomenclature.
'I've got it," she exclaimed, en-

"The Item, she told him, with
conscious pride in her effort. That's
the very thing"
"Pshaw," said he, chat isn't any
kind of name"
Whats the matter with it," she
pouted
We'll, to begin with, 1t is not gen.
eral enough. 1t is to narrow, in other
words"
She resented the criticism.
"Oh, she shifted at him, you are
so stuck on editorial traditions that
The Item strikes you as narrow, does
it? What you want to call it is The

But he didn't, and not only compli-
mented her upon her brilliance in
repartee, but offered to give her a
quarter for it as joke for his funny
column.

Homemade Fire Extinauishers.

A simple fire extingulsher may be
made at home, and if kept always on
hand, will sometimes prove of great
value. Take 20 pounds of common
salt and ten pounds of sal ammoniac
or nitrate Of ammonia, which can be
bought at any drug store. Dissolve
these in seven gallons of water. Put
in thin glass bottles holding a quart
each, cork tightly, and seal to pre-.
vent evaporation. When fire breaks
out, throw one of these bottles so that
it will break in or near the flames, or
if this is not possible, break off the
neck OF the bottle and scatter the con.
tents on the fire. This has been
tested. Sometimes it is necessary to
use several bottles.-National Maya
zine.

'LAcE IN HISTORY

aoremE at this time (of his
accesslon) ) of age, full of en-
ergy ana and passionately an
x1ous to have a free hand in the car
rying out OF his schemes for the reor-
ganlzatlon of the government 1t was
therefore with joy that, in about the
year 1850 B. G. he sailed up to Thebes
in order to claim the crown.
Had he lived longer he might have
been famous as conqueror as well as
an administrator, though old age
might retard and tired bones refuse
their office. AS it is, however, his
name is written sufficiently large in
the book of the worlds great men;
and when he died, about 1915 B. c.,
after reign of some thirty-five years,
he had done more for Egypt than had
almost any other Pharaoh He found
the country in the widest disorder
and he left it the master of itself and
ready to become once more the mas
ter of the empire which Aghnaton's
doctrine of peace and goodwill had
lost
Under his direction the purged wor-
ship Of the old gods, which for him
meant only the maintenance of some
time-proved customs, had gained the
mastery over the chimerical worship
of Atom. Without force or violence he
substituted the practical for the vi
sionary; and to Amun and order his
grateful subjects were able to cry,
"The sun of him who knew thee not
has set, but he who knows thee
shines, the sanctuary of him who as
sailed thee is overwhelmed in dark
ness, but the whole earth is now in
light. The Century Magazine.
