brands set fire to the roof of this
part of the building and flames were
carried by downward draught to the
lower floors.
The Syndicate building is made up
OF several units. The Model Cloth.

polls Dry Goods company were con-
structed as end compliments. The
Arcade, building on the old Office style
plan, was honeycombed with rooms,

to the fifth floors and formed ready
food for the flames The building ex-
tends for one block along Nicollet ave

A high wind had sprung up with
the approach of dawn and carried the
brands over the city far to the north

Refreshment for Fighters.
Early in the fire, William SAKE, pro-
prietor of the Elgin lunch room,
opened his restaurant to the refugees
and gave the iremen and police coffee
and sandwiches. Two unknown women
rescued by Ladderman Oscar Swanson
and Lieutenant Cheney owe their
escape as did many others to the per-
feet order kept by the police in not
allowing crowds that swarmed into the
street from the nearby hotels to inter-
fere with the work of the fighters.
While the confagration was at it's
height, it was feared that the entire
business district from Sixth street to
the river would be wiped out The
fact that the old building contained
much wood work, surrounded by stone
facings, gave marked impetus to the
flames. Many Of the floors were oiled

But by August the plums had been distributed, the panic was making wreck and ruin and the dem ocratic President was taxed with the disasters that were due to republican legislation. The rest Is history. To save the public credit bonds were sold in time of peace and Cleveland went out of the White House overwhelmed in the insane rawlings of fools and the malicious hypocrisy of knaves.

memories that man carries through life are the songs Of his childhood, and these he associates with the dear ones who thus filled his childhood with unspeakable hap piness.
 Every child has the right to be brought up amid the sunniest conditions that a parent can furnish. Sometimes enforced poverty renders impossible the gratihca- ton of the parental hearts desire for the child's happiness. This is all the more sad, for a child unmistakeably partakes of the nature of his home surroundings. If they be bright and cheery, he will most .likely disclose these characteristics; the converse is true.
 Charles Lamb makes this remarkable declaration: "The children of the very poor do not prattle. It is none of the least frightful features in that condition that there is no childishness in it's dwellings. Poor people, said a nurse to me one day. do not bring up their chill dren; they drag them up. No one has time to dandle it. No one. thinks it worth while to coax it. to soothe it, to toss 1t up and down and to humor it. There's none to kiss away it's tears. If it cries it only be beaten. It never had a toy. It was never sung to. No one ever told it a nursery tale. It had no young dreams. It broke at once into the iron realities of life, It makes the heart bleed to overhear the casual street ualn between a poor woman and her little girl. It is not of toys, of nursery books. nor of the summer holidays. 1t is of ironing and clear-starching of the price of coals or of potatoes.

closed. Home is no place for them. It is prominently the arena for wit, the realm of recreation, the sphere for relaxation, and children should be per- mitted to grow up with the profound conviction that the happiest place in all the world is their home. If this be the sentiment of the child's heart, he will not be over eager to leave 1t for other places of entertainment or amusement. It is obligatory upon the parent to supply in the chid's home, if 1t be possible, all that childish na- ture may normally crave. Money spent for toys, for games, for tool chests for music and for some kind of musi- cal instruments is money well invested
 There is mistake that Is often made by anxious parents. They will not per or anywhere with other children. They must remain in the house after school hours. and do-what? Nothing. This is worse than cruelty. The childs s bounding nature longs for the air, he would run, jump, get into innocent mischief, and enjoy the sense of freedom. Let him rough 1t with other boys Make no hot house plant of him. But if he must stay in the house or immediately on the premises. supply bum with abundance of toys, and working tools such as children love.
 I referred to a childs desire for mis- chief. I do not think it an unpardonable sin if child falls into mischief It is a chld's right. So long as there Is not cruelty perpetrated, and so long as there is no mean intention, nor false hood in the mischief, then why should 1t

had been had and everybody went to work. Of course, prosperity came as 1t would have come under any tariff and as 1t would have come swifter and stronger under the Wilson tariff. The country had voted that the American dollar was 100 cents in gold and that brought hundreds of millions from abroad for investment. But oh! the shameless hypocrisy of the G. o. P. that laid the panic, which he grappled with and throttled. on Cleveland, when ev- erybody now knows the panic was the child of the Sherman silver law that added 60, 100000 47-cent full legal ten der silver dollars to the currency ev- cry year
 So disastrous had been the conse quence of the failure of MT. Cleveland to convene congress in March, 1893, and so suspicious had been the result of MT. McKnley's proclamation for an ex- tra session in March, 1884, the republi- cans called an extra session to tinker with the tariff in March, 1909. But in stead of tinkering it down they tinkered 1t up with the valiant aid of the near protectionists on the democratic side of the Senate Indeed Johnathan P. Dol liver was the one conspicious, able. fear less and honest tariff reformer that ses- sion revealed, and if the democratic side had supported him the woolen and cot ton schedules would have been revised down.

IF the Sixty-first Congress had knowa A as it came to know him at the hour of noon March 4. 1911, there would have been no extraordinary session of the Sxty-second Congress called to convene April 4, 1911. Reciprocity with Canada would have been enacted and every body comparatively happy. But the Sixty-first Congress of the United States during the entire life of two years, more or less stormy, never got acquainted with the President of the United States, though it is but single mile from the capitol office to the executive mansion Two hours before the sine die adjourn ment Uncle Cannon was ready to bet there would be no extra session. and shrewd senators did bet there would be none. They thought the President had no nerve. They believed he was bluff ing The fact is they bluffed and the President called 'em.
 All the winter thesword went forth that there must be no extra session One ca n easily understand why the republicans should look with disfavor, and even view with alarm, such action, but why should the democrats be so averse to entering upon the inheritance the people have de- vised to them? During the campaign of 1910 they besought the country to give them chance and they would come with both hands full of reform, but dur ing the expiring hours of the Sixty-first congress there was scarce a democratic solon in this town who did not hope that republican congress and a re- publican President would find a way to

be considered so heinous an offence? If child's principles are right and worthy, he may be trusted anywhere, even in d thoughtless group of mischief-makers on Halloween Mark Twain was severely censured for the creation of Tom Saw yer and Huckleberry Finn, and their pranks. I never had sympathy with the condemnation. A merry home is apt to send out into the world a merry child, free of care and full of sympathy.
 Music should be one of homes chief attractions. Many parent might do a far worse thing than study the element ary principles of music for the sake of the happiness of the home and the pleas ure of the children, if for no other req son. Never check the song of a child. The melody may be incorrect. the notes false, and the verbal collocations with out meaning; but it is the song in the little heart expressing itself as best it may. There is only happiness and purity in that heart and music becomes it well. Encourage the little dimple-cheek- cd singer and after awhile cheerfully let the little voice cost you something for its training and development; and some day you will thank God. for it's song; for in many twilight hour that voice will soothe away your cares and turn your thoughts to the music of better world and to visions of heaven. An. there's something holy in the song of child and should the lips that sang be forever silenced, worlds would we give were they ours to hear once more.
 There was an element of home life in former years that one seldom finds now I refer to home minstrelsy. This used to

poor" and their homes, where actual want squalor, and wretchedness abide. In such homes there is no minstrelsy. Hearts are heavy and crushed with the weight of ife's inequalities. Another has said From such homes come the men who disorder the world as vultures, the nihilist, the communist, the plotters who fling the dynamite and bring destruction to their kind" Such despoilers of the private and public peace have not come from happy, ng-singing homes. But the atmosphere they breathed was charged with the poison of bitter discontent, largely due to the unequal conditions of life
 Yet, we are not to suppose that wealth and dwellings of palatial appointments, positively insure the existence and per- petuity of happy homes from which come only high characters, and men of lofty integrity. Many homes of wealth have no minstrelsy, and the children no sunny, songful childhood. Charles Dickens has illustrated this fact in the parable that he calls "Dombey and Son. Dombey NdS d Coiuf uiiSyiiiPdtuetiC, uOIueSltC ty- rant He knew nothing of sunshine birds ard flowers His house was cold and cheerless. and those about him stood in awe of him. They could not love him. Anyone with his heart in the right place would prefer, with all it's poverty, the home of Bob Cratchit to that of the rich, pompous and tyrannical Dombey.
 There are family tyrants still existing. They would have all things and all per- sons in the home to bend at their nod. Their coming is the sign for silence. Play

1 Thanksgiving turkey in Washington, November, 1909. Had they done that congress would have finished It's labors as early as it did and hundreds of mill lions would have been saved to the tax payers. As soon as the country got to the Aid rich tariff the people smote it hip and thigh The democratic party was ap- pointed to revise the tariff and revise 1t down There is but one way to do that make the proteetionists get out of the democratic party. There Is no other way 10 do it. You can't herd Woodrow Wilson and James Smith together. Will son knows that and the democratic party has got to come to know it, and like Wilson, act on it, or reap the storm of public wrath. You can't unite Canaan and Egypt. Let tke democracy order satan to the rear, and make him go there.
 It is understood that Clark. Underwood & Co.,, including that intrepid democrat from my state. Ollie James, intend to send the reciprocity agreement with Canada to the Senate early after the extra session convenes. That is demo- cratic and traditional democracy at that. Such a convention with our northern neighbor was entered upon when Frank lin Pierce was president and dominated by his secretary of war. Jefferson Davis of Mississippi. When 1t expired dozen years later the republicans refused to restore it, though every democrat sought to do so.
 President Taft offers this chunk of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-03-19

democracy to the country and it is in- conceivable that any democrat, not in sympathy with the lumber trust. can op- pose it. Of course the lumber folk are enraged, for when we get the thing through the tribute they levy on the country will be considerably less. The lumber trust, 1t Is generally accepted, bestired itself to keep Lorimer in the Senate and succeeded to the general dis gust of the people.
 The next step Clark, Underwood & Co. will take will be a revision downward of the wool and wooden schedule. One of the provisions will be free wool, with out which there can be no revision down. Every senator will have to take stand and if there is to be any spectacular resignation as a result let us hope the thing will not have string to 1t as before. It is the mission of Clark, Un- derwood & Go. to break up the combine of the shepherds and the weavers to the end that the people may have cheap CT clothing, cheaper blankets, cheaper carpets and cheaper articles of every kind into the manufacture of which wool enters as g. raw material
 And let us have cheaper sugar, cheap CT meats, cheaper farm utensils. cheaper foods, cheaper drugs and chemicals. Let the citizen of America be given oppor- tunity to live as cheaply as does the subject of the English crown or the Ger man people.
 Early in April the country will know where every man stands.
