chievous Boys Scorches
Horse and He Bolts.

New York City.-The members OF
Engine Company No. 80 never knew
what Chasing a fire" really meant un-
til Friday night when they answered
a call from Broadway and 138th street.
When the engine arrived on the spot
the fire was at 145th street and was
still going north.
TITS three blocks up," shouted a
driver when they reached 141st street.
It was overtaken at 147th street and
extinguished.
The blaze was in a load of rags and
paper on a peddler's wagon. Mischiev'
GUS boys had touched a match to the
load while the peddler was in a house.
The horse, alarmed by the flames
s~corching his tail, had started driver
less up Broadway.

This Contractor got results.

4 A4(E " ~ -NN0 AAca
Some years ago a contractor build
ing a railroad in a warm climate was
troubled a great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations of meat and were
drinking water from a stream near by.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount of meat and to increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to
the men.
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water.
Almost instantly all signs of stomach
disorders passed and his men showed
a decided improvement in strength
and spirits.
This contractor had experience that
taught him the great value of good
oatmeal. 81

brothers were millionaires. colossally rich
for that section at that time. and the
curse" seemed 10 be a nat failure.
First Evidence Of Curse.
Then came the first possible evidence
that the spirit OF Mrs OBrien still was
earthbound and on vengeance set. Calvin
F. Burnes by his first wife had four chill
dren, and. one after another. three of
them died in infancy. One survived. a
daughter named Mary. She was helpless
and mentally deficient from birth
Next James n. Burnes. Representative
for the Fourth district of Missouri, died
OF a stroke of paralysis as he took his
seat In the House Of Representatives.
Friends OF the family looked at one an
other and began relating the curse in
awed tones.
It was on the widow Of Calvin F.
Burnes. Mrs. Frances Byram Burnes.
that the burden OF the curse was to fall
most heavily.
First her brother. Charles Byram. be-
came involved in an army scandal at a
military post in the West. Whether By
ram really was responsible for the trou-
bic laid at his door seems never to have
been settled. Probably he was the only
man living who could have told the exact
truth Of the affair, and he was killed In a
dispute arising through the same. This
was the first intimatiOn that Mrs. Fran
ces Byram Burnes had that possibly
the money to which she had fallen heir
carried with 1t load of woe.
Mrs. Burnes moved to Chicago and be-
came one Of the leaders OF the city's so
course OF time her brother-in-law. Isaac
y. Perry, banker. became involved in
financial difficulties and was accused, ar
rested. and acquitted Of the charge OF
burning his factory plant at Hegewisch.
Death Of SurieI Byram.
And all that Kave aught to do with
them" read the words OF the curse
It seemed stretching belief to intimate
that the trouble involving Mr. Perry was
due to the fact that he was directly con-
nected with the family which held the
cursed fortune. and yet at the time there
were those who said: 1T is another mani
festation Of the curse on the Burnes
money
Even unto the third generation" Mrs.
O'Brien had prayed that woe and trouble
would follow the cursed dollars.
Miss Muriel Byram, youthful aunt OF
Miss Marjorie Burnes and her inseparable
companion, was one Of the second genera
ton. Like her niece, the famous Mar
torie Burnes, Miss Byram was one of the
social favorites of Chicago, Life for this
young pair was filed with gayety and
pleasure. Receptions, balls. dinners. en-
tertainments of all kinds were lavished
upon the young beauties. and for them
at least 1t seemed that the curse had lost
It's power.

ment. has for years urged that more at
tention be given to live stock, and Presi-
dent Finley in his speeches and in other
ways has repeatedly called attention to
the great opportunities open to the farm
ers of the South in this particular line,
owing 10 the great increase In the prices
Of all food products and consequent en-
larged profits in their production.
That, in its last analysis, the problem
of soil conservation and soil improve
ment must ind solution in the increase
of domestic animals on the farms is the
conclusion presented by w. J. Spillman,
agriculturist in charge Of the Office OF
farm management in the Bureau of
Plant Industry of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. IN an interest
ing bulletin he recommends the raising
Of leguminous crops and the increase in
the number Of animals on the farms as
soil TO high state Of fertility. The use
of agricultural lime as a supplement 70
manure and commercial fertilizers is be-
ing urged by many farm experts as a
substantial aid in this work.
