A real old-fashioned preacher lives in
Fort Morgan, Colo; he believes that
dancing is wicked and breaches against
it. He told his congregation lately that
dancing was the straight path to he'll;
that dancing caused character to crumble,
virtue to perish. and souls to be damned.

dancing, but gives rather more attention
TO card playing, which he denounces in
unmeasured terms. But the bridge clubs
will no doubt continue to flourish just

A correspondent of Farm and Fireside,
under the caption of Glow Large Should

experiments that have been carried on
regarding the comparative value of diff
ferent sized pieces of seed-potatoes: "As
an average Of a total of nearly one hun
dIed eXLerm ents it was found that
pieces of seed cut to two eyes yielded IA
per cent, or Is bushels, more than pieces
cut to one eye; that quarters yielded Is
per cent, or seven bushels, more than
pieces cut to two eyes; that potatoes cut
in halves yielded per cent, or bush
els, more tt IN potatoes cut to quarters;
but that potatoes cut in halves yielded 8
per cent, or about bushels, more than
when whole tubers were used. These
results were for the net saleable crop
per acre, after deducting the small tub
ers and the value of the seed.'

The need for an enlargement of the

Libraries in the State, library which
surpasses in collections of books and
facilities for study the libraries of many
larger cities, its juvenile department
does not compare with the work done for
children elsewhere" We wish there
might also be a memorial room; place
for the reception and preservation of
neirlooms, mementoes of the first set
tiers, and relics Of the early days of our
city. On the walls might be paintings
and models of ships built here, and in
cases manuscripts, china, etc. We have
no doubt that many would gladly con-
tribute to such collection, and it's value
and interest would be enhanced with the
passing years.

SMALL FIRES
 KEEP CHEMICALS BUSY
 ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

One of the annual diversions of spring was in full vogue yesterday, sev- eral grass fires springing up in var ious parts of the city and giving the firemen lots to do in the way Of handling these small blazes.
 About 2:30 o'clock grass fire near the Beach ice houses in the East End called for the extinguishers and later another fire followed in the rear of the home of Horace G. Scofield at Goddard avenue. Another followed at the corner of Hawley and North avenues.
 A mysterious and peculiar fire at the home of Mrs. Mary Monahan at 1897 Main street occurred at 4:59 D. m when a baby carriage in the front room of the house caught fire and was destroyed. Nothing else was burned, and the origin of the blaze is a mystery.

in their attitude. There are inherent and essential features of the roposed treaty which are objected to by some of wisest statesmen of America and it is believed by many able and dis tinguished Americans that the conclu- sion of such a treaty would be dam gerous and inadvisable at this time and contrary to the precedents of the nation With these features of the treaty I have no concern. These are questions which the statesmen in Washington can handle better than an audience in Bridgeport.
 It is natural that the Irish should sympathize with an oppressed and afflicted people anywhere in the world. It is also natural that all people who are fair minded and ln- formed upon the Irish situation should sympathize with the Irish cause. The proposed treaty of arbitration was not solicited by this country, but is eager ly desired by England. Ambassador Bryce was selected to represent Eng land at Washington chiefly for the purpose of accomplishing such an un- derstanding as is proposed between the two governments.
 The American nation is capable Of defending itself against all possible foreign aggression. The American people thoroughly understand that with it's S0,0O0O00 people within easy marching distance of the Canadian capital, America can command the tional difficulty, in which this coun- try may become involved. Why thereore, should this country desire such a treaty. Its advocates claim that it is an offering on the altar of humanity, that it is a step toward the human society proclaimed by the angel on the first Christmas. Peace on Earth and good will to men," England claims that she to is perfect : " capable of defending her national integrity against the assaults of any other nation on the earth and that she desires the conclusion of this trea- ty entirely for the sake of humanity.
 We say to her, if it is offered for humanity's sake first do justice to your Irish brother and we cite in sup port of this demand the divine injunc- tion, Behold if you will make an offering at the altar and there thou remember that thy brother has any thing against thee, leave there thy offering before the altar and go first and be reconciled with thy brother and then, coming, place thy gift up- on the altar
 Until this command of the Almighty is literally fulfilled the English can- nor expect Irish support in work sake of humanity. The Irish opposi- tion is based upon their humane in- stincts which commands them to re. gard first the injustice of England to Ireland. They are most among Am erican people, opposed to this treaty because they are best informed in re- gard to Irish affairs and know what wrongs remain to be righted. As we'll charge that the Irish, were Japanese when they sympathized with the stur- dy little Jap in his struggle against the Russian giant; as well charge that the Irish were Dutch when they sym pathized with the Boer in his strug- gle on the South African Veldt to maintain the independence of the South African Republic, as to charge that they are Irish and unAmerican because they sympathize with the Irish in Ireland in their struggle against injustice.
