Laughed After All.

Young Carriers father allowed him
to take a trip to Europe last spring,
Before starting the youth made up a
cable code of his own for possible
use while travelling. He gave a dupli-
cate copy to his father, who locked
it up in his desk without looking at It.
A few weeks later the elder Garter
received a. cable consisting of ons
word: Laugh" He laughed. II

A Letter from Jack.
TR. CHARLES c. HART, Crest

M Hill, Ga:
My Dear Mr.. Hart-The
morning mail brought me a letter
from Mary inclosing the one from you
in which you object to me for SON
in-law
You have that right, and Isshould
be the last to fail to respect it; but,
as 1t is a question that involves the
lifelong happiness Of two, I can not
let your objections pass lightly. I am
willing to consider your point of view
You must consider mine
II 1 were to tell you WHO I am
a point which seems to cause you
much anXietyE-it would not tell
WHAT l am, which is more impor-
tant.
AS for the WHO: I am a graduate
of the University, which I know, from
your outlook on life, is not much in
my favor. You never went to college;
you achieved success with a common
school education, and, Like many men
Of your kind, have contempt for the
rah-rah quality of finish the college
gives.
That was graduated with honors,
therefore, is not in my favor, for
overshadowing that so-called dis
tinction is your prejudice against a
man who lets his father pay his bills
and keep him in school at an age
when you, by your own efforts, had
laid the foundation of your fortune.
To have had a wealthy father was
my misfortune. Even you, who so
highly esteem self-effort, can not
blame me for that. 1t was also my
fathers money that started me in
business out here in California, but I
wish to add that in the ten years l
have been at it l have paid back
every cent he advanced, and now
have an income that should make me
eligible as husband, if income were
the only point to consider.
His Father.
could point to the long and hon
ora'ble record Of my father in this
State, but as good men proverbially
have worthless sons, that would not
help. I could tell you that my mother
was an earnest, od-fearing woman,
and that l was the greatest joy life
held for her in her declining years,
but mothers have a way of finding a
blessing in children whom outsiders
would regard as curse, so her last
letters to me, her last words, would
not relieve the situation.
You say that Mary does not know
what my standing is in this town
l have been Mayor, but the office Of
Mayor is often purchasable; my name
is good at the banks here for any
sum; so is the name OF the towns
biggest gambler I am a member Of
the Episcopal Church, and give lib
orally, but that is sinners popular
whitewash, and I claim no credit for
It.
Regarding my private life: I have
done my share of blazing a trail on
the Primrose Path. Indeed, to speak
frankly, there was time when
worked overtime. l can not claim to
have reached the age Of 80 and have
remained virtuous Would you be-
lieve me if made such a claim?
But l say this to my credit when
all is counted against me: 1 never
started any woman wrong, and God
helping me, never will. And have

BALTIMORE, MD, July 26, Il

BALTIMORE, MD, July 26, 1918.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN: This is a beau
tiful city. Everything is moving to its
fullest capacity. The street commission
ers are going over all streets, repairing
and laying sewage pipes, and the sum
mer resorts are all open, day and night.
The city is we'll electric lighted and it
makes it as light as day. The factories
here are putting in the automatic sprink-
lers for fire protection. They work fine
when a fire starts in a building where
there are sprinklers. The insurance COM
psnies favor these sprinklers for large
buildings. No building ever burns down
that has them in. The fire no more than
gets started till these sprinkler heads let
go. They will let 60 with a lighted
match. They are about eight feet apart
and throw water five feet in any dIrec-
ton. If B%ingbamton, N. Y, had had
these sprinklers in that factory that
caught fire aud burned so many people
there would have been no loss of life.
These sprinklers are just the thing for
fire in the factories and mills, aud all
should have them in order to save life
and property. They are the only real
thing. JOHN w. THOMPSON.

SING SING FIRED TWICE
convicts Go on Strike and Riot in
New York's Big Prison.

SOilNNNhS Wv OH ShiiN oid hiSh w
New York's Big Prison.
A second fire at Sing Sing gave tho
mutinous convicts a chance for more
riotous demonstrations. The b.aze
started in the clothing shop and the
prison fire brigade extinguished 1t,
after a hard fight, without outside aid.
1t was the second fire in the prison
building in a week, Notwithstanding
the fact that the guards had been
doubled since $15O,OO0 worth of prop
erty was burned a few days before. AL
though it is generally believed the
fires were started by convicts the
warden has been unable to place the
blame.
Warden Clancy attributes the recent
disturbances among the convicts to
an order for the transfer of some Of
them to the state prison at Auburn.
Most of the prisoners at Sing SiVg
come from New York city and object
to being sent upstate, where their
friends will find it difficult to visit
them.
On account of the disturbances the
warden decided to rid the prison OF
the disorderly element. Sixty of the
worst offenders, all second-term men,
were sent under heavy guard to Au
burn today. The rest will be trans
ferred later. The incorrigibles belong
to what is known as the knitting
gang"
