The telephone company is blamed by
Chief Wilmarth as a cause for a large
part of the damage. The chief will
make no specific charges, but explains:
Persons in the neighborhood tell me
that it was fully ten minutes after the
alarm was turned in t. the telephone
company before the return alarm was
sounded. A short time ago, have been
informed, it was fifteen minutes before
a fire alarm from North Topeka, at 521
North Kansas avenue, was answered by
the telephone company. This is danger
Gus. Ten or fifteen minutes can give
Roadway to many risky fires. The fact
that the Fisher house at 52S Lincoln
street was burning when we arrived in
our motor apparatus this morning,
shows that there was a delay some
where.
'T have taken up the matter with
telephone officials, and will make
thorough investigation of the case"

THE LAST HOUR

Suppose, beloved, that the gods should say
You shall have just one hour OF joy to
spend
You two. together; then shall come the
end:
Henceforward each must walk alone for
aye
What would we do with that last little
hour?
Fond words OF parting would we strive
to speak.
Crowd phrases faster on our lips, and
seek
For messages of comfort and of power7
think our hearts would be SO full Of
pain
We should not speak at all. But you
would press
My hands close. close in yours, and you
would gaze
Deep down into my eyes. Thus wc
should bless
Each other silently.3aEd go our ways
But oh, TO think could not meet
again,
