sELATED PRECAUTIONS.


Locking the stable after the horse
is gone IL melancholy proceeding.
It does the stable no good-and might
prevent the horse from returning
should he feel so disposed 1t is In
deed foolish action.
Canonsburg. Pa, is now making
strict provisions for proper exits and
proper fire precaution in its motion
picture shows. But It is after calami-
ty wisdom. 1t is the product OF an
awful lesson.
A fool is always more dangerous
than q flame, and it is not fire that
works the greatest havoc in theatre
disasters--but the irresponsible idiot
who shrieks the senseless alarm.
Hence theatre exits must be wide
enough to take care of both the fool
and the results of his folly.

BAN ON PUBLIC TOWEL.


The common towel will soon--dn
well regulated communicable a
thing Of the past. Speaking of an
order recently issued in st. Paul, The
Dispatch says:
Health Commissioner Lancaster pro-
poses to abolish the roller towel from
hotels and public buildings. He has
asked the corporation attorney to pre-
pare an ordinance embodying his ideas
on the reform. The proposed measure
probably will be submitted to the
Board of Aldermen next week. The
doctor undoubtedly is right in making
war on the roller towel. 1t is in the
same class as the common drinking
cup. Both menace the health of users.
There is no more reason, except good
nature and precedent for tolerating the
common towel that there would be for
accepting the common napkin,
However, 1t Is important that the
public should be in sympathy with any
movement to protect health. 1t may
be fact that diseases, particularly
those Of the skin, are communicated by
the roller towel, and still be an up
Hill task to protect the public against
danger. Many who have worked In
buildings and patronized hotels where
roller towels are used and have suf-
fered no i'll effects are disposed to
scout the idea of danger. The risk
may not be great. But there is no
argument in favor OF the community
towel. 1t should be abolished If there
is any danger. The fact that 10000 or
even 100000 users may escape injury
for each one who contracts the disease
is no excuse for sacrificing the one.

Old Adam

He didn't have stylish wife
Who followed all Of fashions fads
With rats and hobble skirts and pads
She never beggared his accounts
BY running bills Of large amounts
For willow plumes and four-foot hats
And fancy high heeled shoes and spats
And evening gowns Of texture fair.
She wore no Jewels in her hair.
She ne'er had a desire to skip
To Europe for summer trip.
In social realms she didn't shine
And never had to stand in line
At swell receptions dressed to kill
There was no unpaid modiste's bill.
Though like all women everywhere.
She never sulked about that fact.
But got along with wondrous tact.
The servants problem peeved her not.
She never worried DER her lot
Or caused single family jar
Because she had no touring car.
And last, but not the least to note.
She didn't even want to vote.

SUNSET coUs EDITORIAL.

Samuel Sullivan Cox, the Ohio
statesman, in 1854. gained the nitk-
name of Sunset" through the fol-
lowing editorial:
What a stormfuls sunset was that of
lastnight! How glorious the storm,
and how splendid the setting of the
sun! We do not remember ever having
seen the like on our round globe. The
scene opened in the west with the
whole horizon full of golden, inter-
penetrating Iuster which colored the
foliage and frightened every object
into it's own rich dyes.
The colors grew deeper and richer
until the golden luster was transfused
into stormcloud full Of the finest
lightning, which leaped from dazzling
zizags all around and over the city.
The wind arose with fury, the slender
shrubs and giant trees made obeisance
to it's majesty. Some even snapped
before it's force. The strawberry beds
and grass plots turned up their whites
to see Zephyrus march by. Then the
rain came, and the pools formed, and
the cutters hurried away, thunder
roared grandly and the firebells caught
the excitement and rang with hearty
chorus.
The south and east received the CO.
pious showers. and the west all at
once frightened up in long polished
belt of azure, worthy Of a Sicilian sky.
Presently a cloud appeared in the
azure bent in the form Of casteIlated
city. 1t became more vivid, revealing
strange forms of peerless fanes and
alabaster temples and glories rare and
grand in this mundane sphere. It re-
minded us of Wordsworth's splendid
verse in his Excursion:
The appearance instantaneously dis
closed
Was of mighty city; boldly lay
A wilderness Of buildings, sinking far
And self withdrawn into wondrous
depth,
Far sinking into splendor without
end.
But the city vanished, only to give
place to another isle, where the most
beautiful forms of foliage appeared,
imaging paradise in the distant and
purified air. The sun. wearied Of the
commotion, sank behind the green
plains OF the west, The great eye In
heaven, however, went not down with
out dark brow hanging over its de-
parted light. The rich flush of the I'M
earthly light had passed. and the rain
had ceased when the solemn church
bells pealed. the laughter of children
rang out, and, joyous after the storm,
was heard with the carol birds; while
the forked and purple weapon of the
skies still darted illumination around
the Starting college. trying to rival its
angles and leap into It's dark windows.
Candles are lighted The piano
strikes up. We feel it is good to have
a home, good to be on the earth, where
such revelations of beauty and power
may be made. And as we cannot re-
frain from reminding our readers Of
everything wonderful In our city we
have begun and ended our feeble etch-
ing of sunset which comes so rarely
that It's glory should be committed to
immortal type.
