Our Voices,

I think our conversational soprano,
as sometimes overheard in the cars,
arising from group of young persons
who have taken the train at one OF
our great industrial centers, for in.
stance, young persons of the female
sex, we will say, who have hustled IN
full dressed, engaged in loud, str1dent
speech, and who, after free discussion,
have fixed on two or more double
seats, which having secured, they pro-
coed to eat apples and hand round
daguerreotypes-I say, think the
conversational soprano, heard under
these circumstances, would not be
among the allurements the old enemy
would put in requisition were he get
ting UP a new temptation Of St. An
thony.
There are sweet voices among us,
we all know, and voices not musical,
it may be, to those who hear them
for the first time, yet sweeter to Us
than any we shall hear until we listen
to some warbling angel in the over
ture to that eternity Of blissful mar
monies we hope to enjoy. But why
should I tell lies? If my friends love
me, it is because I try to tell the
truth. I never heard but two voices
in my life that frightened me by their
sweetness.-Holme

and maliciously stolen so many times
in the history Of civilization that Il

which is a departure from anything

Of it we cannot tell.
The glass first receives its design in

feature of this method is that the sur.

Lo, the Rich Indian.

The per capita wealth Of the Indian
is approximately $3.50, that for other
Americans Is only little more than
$1,000. The lands owned by the In
dams are rich in oil, timber and other
natural resources of all kinds. Some
of the best timber land in the United
States Is owned by Indians.
The value of their agricultural lands
runs up in the millions. The ranges
which they possess support about $780,
600 sheep and cattle, owned by lessees,
bringing in a revenue Of more than
1922 900 to the various tribes besides
providing feed for more than 10000
head of horses, cattle, sheep and goats
belonging to the Indians themselves.
Practically the only asphalt deposits
in the United States are on Indian
1ands.-Red Man.

when the crash came. Away up in
the roof of the structure. near point
directly over the loading platform on
which stood Fire Chief Koran, Bur
roughs, his second assistant, Lieuten-
ant Fitzgerald and nearly a score OF
others, there was sudden, sharp,
loud report like the instantaneous
rending of high-pressure boiler.
Portions of the masonry Of the
building fell away like a child's house
of toy building blocks. A large part
of this fell on the canopy over the
loading platform, tearing the latter
ava. and bearing it to the platform
itself, which was crushed like an egg
shell, with its human freight Of fire.
fighting men,
Falling Brick lnjure Many.
There were scores of firemen stand
ing on the outskirts OF where the
bricks fell. Many of these were in
jured, some of them painfully. They
were taken to st. Demands hospital
and to their homes in ambulances
and police patrols, which were rush
ed to the scene by the score when the
explosion came and it was known
that there would be list Of dead and
injured.
Fumes of ammonia filed the build
ing with rapidity. 1t was seen at
once that ammonia pipes forming
part of the refrigerating machinery
that keeps the south end Of the build
ing chilled for the storage Of beef
carcasses had exploded.
At once fear became widespread
that many f1remen and their officers
were in the building at the time and
that the ammonia fumes would
strike them to the floor, leaving them
easy prey for flames and smoke or
killing them outright.
Fremen Work In Danger.
The rescuers worked under the
greatest danger to their own lives and
ignoring burns and hazard Of falling
walls. Despite the fact that they were
aware of the fatality and knew that
the bodies of the victims were buried
under the brick pile, flremen worked
about the pile, directing streams OF
water into the burning building. Many
of them went about with tears stream
ing down their cheeks. overcome with
grief over the fate of the chief and
his subordinates.
Begin Rescue Immediately.
Almost as soon as the wall fell
those of the fighters who had escaped
the fate of their companions rushed
OF the ruins to bring to safety those
who might still be alive. Amid the
blazing timbers, the red-hot bricks and
the sizzling steel, the f1remen worked
unmindful of the terrible burns they
were suffering.
The peril of the brave fire fighters
did not cease after the explosion and
the falling of the wall on the score OF
men on the loading platform.
Other and smaller sections of the
wall continued to fall and warning
calls from commanding officers to
men who were imperiled from time to
