The Bull of PhaIarjs,

Perillus of Athens is said by the an
Gent authorities to have invented for
Phalaris, tyrant Of Agrigentum. B. c..
$40, a brazen bull which opened on
the side to admit victims who were to
be roasted to death by the fire which
was built underneath. The dying
groans of the sufferers closely resem-
bled the roaring of a maddened bull"
hence the name that was given to the
invention. 1t is refreshing to know
that later OH the populace rose against
Phalaris and burned the tyrant in the
bull that he had made to be the cause
of death to so many others.-New York

Unnecessary Fire Disasters.

Z
Another fire horror, the Washington
place disaster in the heart Of New
York city, has been added to the long
list Of such .calamities in this coun-
try. AS is usual in such cases, the
public officials have set about ::inves-
tigating" the cause Of the fire and
seeking to fix the responsibility. And,
as usual, the public is clamoring for
reforms in the construction of build
ings in which large numbers of per-
sons live or have employment. 1t is
simply the old story Of locking the
stable door after the horse has es-
capped.
It appears that the efficient chief of
the fire department in New York, Ed
ward F. Croker, who has spent all his
adult life in fighting fires and study
ing means for their prevention and
for the prevention Of loss of life when
they do take place, repeatedly has
warned the officials that thousands of
buildings in the great city are insult
ficiently provided with fire escapes
and other means Of exit. Mr.. Croker
is able now to employ 1.-THE deadly
parallel" in an effective manner. The
ten story building in which 142 or
more persons. mostly young women
and girls, suffered terrible deaths had
only one frail fire escape, and that
was located not on the outside of the
structure, but in an inside court: also
the doors leading from this court were
found to be locked. Inside the build
ing itself were locked doors which
barred the terrified victims from &C.
cess to the exits. Heaps Of charred
bodies were piled up against these
locked doors. Still other evidences of
criminal negligence were discovered.
While the danger from fires is great
er in the large cities, where hundreds
Of workers are herded together in tall
buildings, there are in every town in
the country buildings which are mere
fire traps-death traps in case of fire.
Thousands of small buildings where
people live or work upstairs lack prop
er exits. The majority Of persons
never take into consideration the prob
ability of a disastrous fire breaking
out, endangering their lives. When
such a fire does occur they become
panic stricken. Panic invites disas-
ter. It behooves every one to become
well acquainted with the means of es-
cape in case Of a fire. Many lives
would be saved annually if people
took this simple precaution.

A Roundabout River.

The Kentucky river at Jackson is a
freak. It runs for five miles or more
to advance sixty feet. The circuit o
the water forms what is known as the
panhandle" Standing on the back
bone you can flip stone into the river
on the north side and one into the river
on the south side, five miles below.
You are on the north side of the river
and on the south side of the river and
going up the river and down the river
at the same time.-Winchester News.

Easter hats are due.
Uncle Sam's Pin Money.


t. costs something to run this gov
eminent. At its third and final ses-
sion the sixty-frst congress made ap-
preparations aggregating $1,O25, 1885,
661.54. What the 81 cents was needed
for does not appear in the condensed
statement, but the 1925 millions of
dollars are accounted for in large slabs
of figures. For instance, the post Of
fee department gets $257, 100000 plus,
but it is comforting to note that all
but about 100000 Of this staggering
sum will be returned from the postal
revenues for the fiscal year 1912.
Only generation ago, it is said, the
entire appropriation for the support
OF the government for period of two
years was less than five-sixths Of the
postal appropriation made by the Six
ty-frst congress. But this immense in
crease in expenditures does not indi-
cate an undue extravaganza. It shows,
on the contrary, the enormous growth
Of business in the United States. Less
than thirty years ago the entire cost
of the postal system was not so much
as is expended now on the compare
lively new rural free delivery, for
which nearly $43,O00OOO was appro-
priated for the coming fiscal year.
Pensions require the next biggest
item. The appropriation for the old
soldiers, widows and other dependents
Of soldiers amounts to nearly $154,-
100000. Next in size is the navy's
demand, exceeding $126.OO0,OOO, while
the army must get along for couple
of years on $93,Oo0,OOO and a little
more. Nearly $17,O00,OOO is appropri-
ated for agriculture. and nobody can
deny that, in the language Of the late
lamented somebody, Its with it,
Until rather recent years scientific
agriculture has been neglected in this
country. Nowadays the department
is awake to the magnificent possibili-
ties of American agriculture. The
farm, and not the bank or the stock
market, is the real source Of our
wealth. The farm cannot be fostered
and encouraged too much.
There are those among us who hold
that Uncle Sam should use more of
his pin money for agricultural en-
enlargement and less for naval con-
struction. The difference between
100000 for engines of destruction
end $17.000OOO for food production is
considerable. to say the least.

one was for Miss Imogen's parlor win
dow.
AS Miss Imogen leaned over the
flowers a shadow fickered across the
window, and she raised her head to
meet the admiring gaze of Huldah
Scott. Miss SCOTS eyes were fixed
on the Easter lilies, but she also saw
Miss 1mogen, and she bowed pleas
antly, yet with a certain proud reserve
of manner She spoke, and her voice
came through the open window:
"Your lilies are beautiful, Imogen,"
she said rather wistful]y.
'"Ihey are uncOmmonly handsome"
returned Imogen stifay, making a
movement to close the window Her
rather sharp black eyes were looking
absently over Huldah's shabby hat.
1t was as if she appeared not to see
the woman on the sidewalk.
Huldah flushed proudly and resumed
her walk down the street. After Imo-
gen Morses contemptuous accents had
died in the rafting down of the win
dow sash Huldah flung her head I'D
proudly and walked as if her cloak
was not worn and shining at the
seams and her shoes cracked and
broken.
There was tap at the side door,
followed by a turning of the knob.
Then a short, heavily built woman
came into the room and tossed aside
the knitted shawl which had covered
her head and shoulders Her face
was very red, and her scanty portion
of light hair chung fatty to her rather
large head. Henrietta Owen was
1mogen Morse's most intimate friend.

1mogen, pushing chair forward for
the visitor
"Been to the postofhce," painted Mrs.
Owen, sinking heavily into the rocker.

wasn't anything. I met Huldah just
beyond here. Thought maybe she'd
been calling on you" She looked sly
~ at 1mogen out of her small black
eyes.
'Iou know better than that, Hen
rietta,' retorted Imogen good humor-
edly. Il expect you can tell to T
the last time Huldah Scott crossed nv
threshold. She's got no liking for
me'
"Small wonder,' remarked Mrs.
Owen dryly.
Imogen paused in her task of dust
ing the books in the tall secretary
and turned her long neck around.
"Whatever do you mean, Henrietta
Owen?" she demanded, with asperity.
'First time I knew you to take HUI
dab Scott's part against me-"
"I'm not taking her part. All said
was it was small wonder she had no
liking for you. If you'd lost that law
suit instead Of her guess the hard
feelings would have been on the other
side''
you'll have to explain what you
mean," Imogen said incoherently. IF
you think Huldah Scott wasn't treated
fairly you can go to Judge Blake or
the jury which decided that the prop
erty never had been her fathers and
couldn't rightfully belong to anybody
but my fathers heirs.''
'That's all as it may be-" said Mrs.
Owen quietly, 'but you know right
well that the Scott place was bought
by Huldah's father and they always
lived in it. It wasn't till after old Mr..
Scott died that your father came for

The value of a college education

the class of 1900 at Dartmouth have

discovery that they are receiving in
con-" veraging over $4,000. one of
them e,rns six times this amount
and eleven others receive from $4,000
to $500 each. These men have been
out of college but a decade, and they
are presumably not yet at the maxi
mum of their power Nor is there
any reason for suppOsing that Dart

their bretheren of rival institutions

CITY MARSHAL APPEARS
IN NEW AND STRANGE ROLE.
Police Officer, After Learning Poetry,
Finds Time to Quote 1t.

\ now side of Marshal Moore's
character was seen yesterday when
the chief was interviewed in his Of
fices, and was found To be in mood
OF poetic tenderness. II might be
thought by one familiar with the re-
peilant nature of the work he is often
called upon to perform in fulfilling
his duty as official father OF cOrrcc-

whose steps too often lead 10 the city

1t became necessary To interview
the marshal in regard To the appro-

asked To state certain things pertain

Of public interest, and upon the re-
