WHERE ECONOMY COUNTED.

New York has reason to be proud of her fire commissioner who has shown extraordinary executive ability in the management of his department. saving money to the taxpayers without ef- fecting the efficiency of the depart ment. Fire Commissioner Waido turn ed back into the city treasury s260, 900 of the appropriation made for his de- partment during 1910, while also pro y<dng for an increase of salaries to the extent of more than a hundred thousand dollars This is not a usual experience in New York or any other city. and in this case it would be hardly worthy of mmendation had the economy been effected at the ex- pense of efficiency. But it was se- cured by stopping the leaks and lop- ping off useless jobs. It is quite com mon in such a service, when the sup ply of places does not equal the de- mand. to make new ones, and the com missioner evidently found a number of such. which he has now vacated and abolished. More fire commission CTS of the Waldo type are needed in this country

mission scheme. including the initia tive, the referendum and the recall The Short Ballot association is to have bill presented to the legisla- ture permitting any third-class city in the state to adopt the commission plan of government on a referendum.
 NOn-p -partisanship and business meth ods in municipal government are de- manded everywhere in these days. City government by commission need not of itself abolish politics, though the fear of that system exhibited by some professional politicians may be re- garded as distinctly in it's favor. The constant spread of the commission plan, however, is a far stronger indi- cation that it has merits which arc able to stand the test. A recently compiled list shows that e6 cities, dis tributed among 23 states, from Texas to Washington and California, have adopted the system.-New York Trib- une.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
NEW SHOES

orang-outang in side show. l never felt so silly in my life and that young lady laughed until she had to lean against the building, and it's mighty lucky thing for your one-horse MT .Iimbex that he wasn't in sight when l got on my feet.
 But ali new shoes are slippy, you know
 "Oh. yes, all new shoes are reason ably slippy of course, but those shoes had been boiled in goose grease. There isn't a circus actor in this country not break his neck. The young lady had to take a hack, she was so weak eDed bv merriment and then l naV1- gated along for two or three yards, and was just turning the corner when those shoes flew the coop again and l came down on my shoulder blades, and yo11 can see the mark in the con crete pavement now
 T was too badly jared to get up for a couple Of minutes and | just lay there and turned loose a lot or nut brown language that I had been sav ing up for twenty years, and 1T there had been any Flanders troopers loafing around they'd have arranged for back seats right away. After I had burned LID all the words I could think of I opened my eyes to see if the sun was still shining, and who should l see but by my Aunt Jemima. She was stand ing there with both hands in the air, and her face full of stony horror. She had me down in her will for good slice of money for a long time, and she thought I was too rigidly moral to use words of more than one syllable, and there she stood listening to me swearing rings around Capt. Kidd. She didn't lose half a minute in going to her lawyers to have new will made, and now YOU know where 1 got off.
 Here are your blamed hoodooed shoes. All I ask of you is to let me have five nnutes in the basement with your MT Jimbex! I'm going to camp here until he comes in, if 1t takes five years sr-Chicago News.

"I was in here yesterday" said the corpulent citizen as he entered the shoe store and laid a package down on the counter. and bought a pair of shoes of one of your clerks. He was a cheap looking skate, with d fshy eye and no chin to speak of. Where is he?''
 That must have been MT Jimbex He's out of town on d business trip"
 Well, he's playing in great luck. I have walked eight blocks for the purpose of standing him on his head and telling him what I think of him. Your Mr. Jimbex sold me pair of shoes and said that money could't buy anything finer. They were all hand sewed and full -jewelled and guaran teed to comply with the pure food laws. He fairly went into ecstacies over that alI-fred pair Cf shoes and ] thought when I walked out of this store wearing them on my feet that l was destined to live happy ever after. like the people in a fairy book.

 But what's the matter with the shoes? If there's anything wrong we'll make it good
 oh it's mighty easy to stand there saying you'll make it good when 8 man comes in with his back broken and all his vitals wrenched from their moorings. but I'd like to know how you're going to do it. Those shoes were hoodooed, I tell you. There was nothing human about them. They may have been hand sewed by the old masters and hand painted by Titan or Raphael and hand embroidered by the khan of Tartary, but they were hoo- dooed just the same.

THE MOTOR FIRE APPARATUS.

The Springfield Republican printed on it's first page on Saturday, the 31st ult, cut of the new motor ladder truck of the Springfield fire depart ment, and it makes a most favorable impression. f. as has been figured out in some carefully conducted de- partnfents. the substitution of the motor engine, truck and car for the horse- drawn vehicle is a matter of actual saving in expense, then the adoption of such practical compa ct and powerful machines as this new Springfield truck should be general. We have Iamented the passing of the horse. the noble and lovable friend of man. in connection with fire depart ment equipment, but with economy and certainty and speed on the side of the new machine. it surely wins ap- proval in the show down.-Bridge- port Standard
 It is high time our noble and Iowa ble friend the horse, was relieved from all service where his abuse is constant. because in the consideration of values horseflesh counts the least. Army and fire department service is where horseflesh is not spared. and the tracta bility of these strong and beautiful animals is shown in the fact that they respond to the call with manifest excitement, rush to the res cue with all the ardor of a human being and sacrifice themselves in the service. In the army spurs are put to these willing creatures when they are doing their best to compel still swifter pace and the agony of such service can be ina gined. It is pleas ant to think man has invented a ma chine so economical in it's operation that these serviceable animals may be turned to a less strenuous and more merciful endowment

new EXPERIMENT
BY SOUTHERN
PACIFIC co.
CARE OF BABIES AND MOTHERS
AT STATION is THE LATEST
EXPERIMENT.

Special provisions for taking care
of babies and their mothers upon
arrival at railroad station is the
latest experiment that is being tried
by the Southern Pacific company at
its Sacramento, California, depot.
The idea is only an experiment
and it is at the suggestion of one
of the patrons of the Southern Pa
cifc company that the experiment
will be taken up.
special room has been furnish
ed for this purpose just off til
main waiting room of the depot
and two women attendants, prac-
tical nurses, are always present to
look out for the needs of the wom-
en- travellers who have their infants
with them. Couches have been
provided for the convenience of the
mothers and number of specially
constructed cots for the babies have
been installed.
In this manner, when a woman
traveller with baby in arms is com
PEELED to wait in the depot for her
train or for those who should meet
her at the station, she is provided
with all the comforts she would
have in her own home. The nurses
in charge of the room prepare a
bed for the mother and they are
allowed to rest for as long a time as
may be necessary.
Apparatus is to be installed to
facilitate the heating of the food
for the infants. and if the ex-
pertinent proves to be a success.
1t is possible that it may be ex-
tended by the Southern Pacific COM
pany to all of its principal stations.
The idea is not original with the
officials of the company. 1t was
offered by woman traveller and is
being experimental with, as are all
suggestions that are offered in this
way if they appear to the officials
be practicable

MUCH ORE HOISTED
FROM The MEXICAN

Ore hoisted from the Mexican
mine reported for the four Satur-
days ending the oath, gives a
total assay value of $9S,794, so
that the extraction for the month
of June will easily exceed 100000.
To date cars shipped to the smelter
this month have yielded $4,000
in cash and with further returns
in before the first of July will un-
doubtedly swell the amount to be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 put into
the treasury for the month.
1t is a very encouraging showing
and shows that the mine has an ore
body of the first magnitude. Each
days work on the 25O0-foot level
adds to the future possibilities.

CUPID BATTLES lSRAELITEs
Michigan sect Opposed 90 Marriage
Pair off on Wholesale
pinu,

Ignoring a law that recognized neither
love nor marriage, forty members Of the
Israeite colony-twenty men and as many
wOmen-were married at the sect's head
quarters at Benton Harbor, Mich, re-
Gently. Thirteen couples were married in
one party and seven in another. A local
Justice OF the peace, a Gentle, as the
colonists call outsiders, tied the knots.
The IsrRelite colony was established here
about eight years ago by Benjamin and
Mary Purnell. In that time there had
been only one wedding at the colony, which
numbers several hundred until this event.
According to the popular Interpretation,
Purnells faith failed TO recognize the lit
tie god OF love. Teaching the immortality
or the physical body, the Israelite doc
uine, at least until very recently, failed
TO admit that true happiness could only
come through happg wedlock
The colony has continued to grow and
Purnell has seen his dominion gradually
expand. Troubles have occasionally beset
the leader, and not a few who. in joining
gave their all as a reward for everlasting
life on this globe wearied Of life az the
colony and resOrted 10 the courts for re-
dreHs, But throughout it all the no
marriage ediot OF Punel has never caused
him any trouble
Recently one OF the prominent members
OF the sect. William HannafOrd. an Aus
tralan. fell In love with a pretty member
OF the opposite sex. His love knew no
checking, ard without the girl even life
forever was not 30 appealing In the
end he married his sweetheart and
thereby created a stir. Meanwhile Hanna
fords love was not the only one al the
colony. Among the dock are many young
men and women and unknown 10 Purnell
Cupid piled his trade. His labors ended Ia
twenty engagements.
Now. according 20 a statement which the
lsraelite managers make. commenting on
the marriages, this Is the "fifteth year OF
creation and Is known as Jubilee year,
