FIRE ESCAPES
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author of "At Good Old Siwash."

There are three kinds of fire es-
lcapes: the bible. ladders and in
dustry,
Ii takes all ones life to escape
from fire by means of the bible BY
means of industry one may escape for
many years only to be fired when old
and iEfirm. But by means of the
patent fire escape which is fastened
on The outside of the hotel and is
connected with the interior by locked
doors designated By red lights which
aren't burning one may sometimes
escape from fire in less than a min
ute.
The common or roof-garien fire
escape is made OF iron steps or lad.
ders with platforms 1T each floor.
These ladders are connected with the
earth by about eight feet of atnos-
phere through which the escaper
must jamp. In case of FIRE on he
18th floor the fire escape affords
safe and eyhilarating pastime. Those
who hate tried tripping merriiy
down a ladder 200 feet above ground
holding on with one hand and dress.
ing hastily with the other. have,
recommended the sport as much
preferable to parachute jumping.
In great cities all teiements are
fitted with FIRE escapes which are so
much more comfortable than the
tenements themselves that people
sleep on them dnring the summer
All OF the great hotels OF the country
are also fitted with fire escapes.
These also act as bill escapes on
many occasions and mncii of :he

EASY TO GET RICHES
SIMPLY MATTER OF SLEEPING
WHILE MONEY AccUMuLATEs.
Some Difficulties In the Way, But as a
Matter of Theory the Thing 10
About as Simple as Can
Be Made.

We have heard much of get rich
quick" schemes. but few of US have
found them to be of practical value.
They are fine ideas, but they do not
work. Now, a nice get rich slow"
scheme o1ght to succeed. A few days
ago man gave certain city thou
sand dollars and told that city not to
use it for $50 years. At the END of
that time it will be something more
than nineteen million dollars IL the
man who told the story figured 1t
right. There could not be an easier
way to be a millionaire than that. just
hang around $50 years and the money
is yours.
OF course none Of us could possibly
wsit so long for so much money un-
less We were asleep. and that is just
the point. Somebody ought to nix up
en- easy sort OF a near poison: which
would put us to sleep and the thing
would be done. That should not: be
difficult. Such thing must nave been
done at one time. because we all know
that a whole Kingdom was asleep for
ever so long, and might still be asleep
if foolish youth had not Weakened
Beauty, and nobody else would stay
asleep after Beauty was awake. And
even in our own time. or at least much
closer to it, there was Rip Van Wrinkle,
who slept for 20 years. II he had not
been so shiftless, and had put little
money in the bank before he went to
sleep he might have been comfortable
for the rest of his lie.
And SO, If everybody who had a
thousand dollars would put it in the
bank and take some sleep generator
he could wake up in $50 years or zoo
years or hundred years, according 70
how rich he wanted TO be, anu would
be millionaire Even II person did
not have thousand dollars to begin
with he could in the end have a few
millions. OF course II everybody was
going to be rich il might not be so
mitch fun, but we would get used to it
after a while. There would not be
HAAy tiOu0kJ 6I1tii6
TO stay awake and take care of the
banks. for great many people have
entirely too much money already and
a great many more would not take
chances of losing what they had even
for $20,O00,000.
/: There Is just one serious drawback
to the scheme, and that may make 10
impossible. What are we going to do
about the cost of living? Two hun.
dred and fifty years is long time
and the cost of living would grow so
much In that time that $4,000 600
would look like 70 cents instead OF
Ike q thousand dollars. And no pow
.er on earth can ever put the cost of
living to sleep, York Times.
