New Fire Alarm Indicator,

A new alarm Indicator for fire en-
CINE stations has three panes, behind
which incandescent lamps can be so
arranged. as to show the signaling box
by mineral or special signs. The ap
paratus can be worked by hand or au.
tomatically by the usual Morse alarm
signals To save the time necessary
for finding on a chart the spot from
which the alarm was sent, it is pro-
posed to use translucent map that
would be illuminated by the alarm,
and would have all boxes of the fire
department area marked by numbered
disks. The call would also show a
red light behind the disk for the sig
mailing box and another for the sta
ton, so that the best route to the fire
would be seen at glance.

Tho Mirror Of Life.

Do you wish for kindness? Be kind.
Do you wish for truth? Be true.
What you give Of yourself you find.
Your world is a reflex of you.
For life is a mirror. You smile
And a smile is your sure return.
Bear hate in your heart and erewhile
All your world with hatred will burn.
Set love against love. Every deed
Shall armed as a fate recoil.
You shall gather your fruit from the seed
That you cast yourself In the soil.
Each act Is a separate link
In the chain of your veal or your woe.
Cups you offer another to drink
The taste of their dregs ye shall know.

Wishes to Be Wife of Man.

The Montenegrin woman wishes not
only to be mother of men. but the wife
of a man. She holds to a high-handed
husband, to one who will be master of
his own house. Witness the story of
Gordanne. as told in the Revue Heb
domadaire. Gordanne was the beautiful
daughter of an innkeeper. Her suitors
were many. and it was time for her to
wed. She promised to make her choice
between three suitorS, and summoned
them all to her fathers house. On the

UNIONlSTS THREATEN
say They Won't Let Churchill and
Redmond Speak.

Dublin, Jan. 18.-The threats Of the
Ulster Unfonists to prevent the holding
of a meeting at Belfast on February 8,
al which Winston Spencer Churchill,
first lord of the admiralty, and John
Redmond, leader of the Irish Nation
alists in the house of commons, are
announced to speak in behalf of home
rule, caused a sensation in political
circles. The Nationalist newspapers
generally make caustic comment on
the Unionist threat.
The Dublin Independent says that
the Unionists are allowed to speak in
Dublin without fear of moIestation,
While the F'reeman's Journal says that
the Belfast die-hards are out against
Mr.. Churchill, whose department pro-
vides the inhabitants of the city with
much of their occupation, and that
the men of Belfast are to be goaded
into outrage against the chief of their
industry
The chief referred to is Lord Pirrie,
who is chairman of the Harland &
Wolff Ship Building company. and is
a recent convert to home rule.
During a Unionfst meeting at Bel
fast last evening recruits were called
for to form a volunteer police force.
The proposer said if trouble came
they in Belfast wished to be independ-
ent of the Dublin police.
The Nationalist are somewhat
handicapped in the home rule cam
paign. John Redmond is still laid up

Plenty of Fuel and Food. Banker

Dighton. kan, Jan. Is.

Dighton, Kan, Jan. Is.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
Concerning the reports printed
about western Kansas suffering, facing
a famine and all that because of the
severity of the winter and foreseeing
the eastern papers, let this statement
go forth from Lane county, which is
typical of Kansas.
We have had snow for the past %
days, a temperature from 10 degrees
above to &c degrees below zero (gov-
eminent record); have had impeded
train service in spite of the very best
efforts of the Santa Fe to keep the
mail coming in on regular established
daily star route; freight service has
been poor, only one freight since De-
cember Is.
Stories are abroad about provisions
being short We are low on stock
feed but as example will say that
there have been in the open stock
yards at Dighton for eleven days
more than eight hundred head of
range cattle awaiting shipment The
loss has been just one head and that
by accident. Some loss of stock over
the county will be unavoidable, but
considering the severity of the winter
and the amount of forage available
the loss will amount to nothing.
So far as provisions are concerned
no one need suffer as there is in Digh-
ton more than $50 tons of coal and in
one large general store there is enough
provisions to supply the whole county
for thirty days.
We are receiving offers of aid from
friends in the east, but as their kind
neess is prom pied by overdraWn re-
ports, I make this statement as pro
test for the sake of the name of the
richest brotherhood in the Union

Modern Methods of Handling Cattle

bell of this city, who has 200 head
of and 4-year-old steers on his ranch
in Clark county, returned to Wichita
on the first train in from EnglewOod.
Because the big ranchmen of Clark
county had provided ample food for
the winters supply, the loss of cattle
in that county will be less than per
cent and these losses will be among
those who lacked feed or who could
not reach every part of their herds
Mr.. Campbell says. Frank Able, with
three thousand head, is said to have
lost about fifty because they were out
of reach of his feed teams.
Mr.. Campbell says that since 1885
there has been no such severe wealth
er, and this spell was the longest he
ever knew. Had the cattle been han
died as the were % years ago, de-
pending upon the grass, the loss
would have been terrific, but the
ranchmen of Clark county, seven or
eight of them handling thirty thousand
head, had prepared for an emergency
and they were rewarded for their fore
sight,
