With Burning String II Flies From
One Place to Another.

Lawrenceburg, Ind.-An English
sparrow was the cause of three houses
catching fire here and had it not
been for the prompt work of neigh

The sparrow was building a nest
under the caves of the home of Mrs.
Mary Webber when it picked up a
long cotton string from pie of rub
bish that had just been burned.
With the burning string the spar
row flew To the roof of Mrs. Sophia
Schaffer's house, then to Otto Nc
Creighton's house and then to the
roof of Manuel Woest's home, where
il dropned the string.
A fire started in the shingles of

eight women assembled for luncheon

Mrs. Black is so earnestly and en-

luncheon, in the hope that some re-

and all the way home congratulated
herself upon her bargain She
nursed it carefully, with plenty Of
sunlight and water. And 10 and be-

Then a japanese servant knocked
the bottom out of her dreams of floral

Regardless of the laughter Mrs.
Barnet took wasabi to the domestic
science school and there, in a unique
japanese dish, it spreads its green

The United States is the only coun-
4ry in which the son of the poorest
mechanic or laboring mar may become
its ruler and where the daughter of a
farmer may become the wife of presl-
dent and the mother of a senator. 1t
is the only country where all earthly
honors are within the reach OF every
citizen and where it depends upon the
individual himself whether he will be
senator or street sweeper, railroad
president or section hand, million
aire or pauper, general or a police
man, banker or a bankrupt.

A sensible Editor

George Waterman of Sidney, Iowa,
has been editor of the Sidney Herald
for twenty-six years and in speaking
of his twenty-six years experience tells
more truth in few words regarding
the newspaper business than we have
heard before ht our whole lives. In
part, Mr.. Waterman says:
"But it has not been all sunshine
and roses. We have made few ene-
mics and we have made friends, and
we can't expect ANYTHING else. Many
fool editor has made the fatal mis-
take Of trying to please everybody.
Such a one has mt yet been born, and
his mother is dead To publish such a
paper It would be necessary to palaver
all persons and all faction, only to find
that the immediate subject of the
''slush' was the only party pleased
while all others entered strenuous OBJ
iectons. The newspaper that cares
for support should stand ever ready
and willing TO boost any enterprise
calculated to bring good 90 the towr
and community which it represents
On the other hand, should any person
or ANYTHING become an object of cen
sure-not from the editors viewpoin
merely, but echoing the sentiment o
the populaee the facts should be pub
lished to the world without fear o
favor. Ii is the editors province t
laud all praiseworthy undertaking
it is his mission to mourn with the so
rowing; it is his pleasure to rejoi'
with those who those who are gla
But it likewise is his bounded duty

Bronx, knelt in the street at
o'clock this morning around the body
q Frank Rimoli, one of their leaders
@ho lay decapitated under a Jerome
street car. Rimoli was knocked of
the car and fell under the wheels
The conductor of the street car de
clared to his passengers that the ac-
cident was due to the fact that Ri
moli had jumped on board from the
wrong side in an effort to avoid pay
ing his fare.
That is true" said one of Rimoli' 8
friends. He had put every cent he
possessed into the collection plate at
the feast"
The conductor, himself a devout
Italian, then suggested that all those
present kneel and pray for the soul of
Rimoli. Several cars following, all
crowded with Italians, were stopped
and their occupants Joined those
praying in the street, until fully 1900
men and women were kneeling around
the mangled body.
