Small Town Fire Loss

millions for defense, but not one cent
for tribute is phrase familiar TO those
who know American history. Para
phrased to apply to rapidly burning COM
munities, it would read this way MIL
lions for tribute ito the fire waste), but
not one cent for Defense"
Only recently a small town in Louisiana
was completely consumed by fire. The
indwellers stood helpless before the adj
vancing flames. An aged man and a
child were burned to DEATH six others
were unaccounted for. All that distin-
guishes this instance from thousands OF
others is that It is one of the most re-
cent disasters, says the Safety Engineer
ing Magazine.
Not less than s50000,000 in real values
were lost by fire during 1912 in small
towns and villages without means OF fire
defense. This amount Is nearly % per
cent OF the total losses of 1912, esti-
mated by the National Board of Fire I'M
derwritres, and is conservative.
Connagra tons involving three OF more
buildings occurred In $50 cities. towns and
villages In the United States, and in 40
places in Canada, during 1872 Fifty per
cent Of the number were In towns and
villa ges utterly without fire defense equip
ment and 80 per cent in cities and towns
with inefficient fire department organiza-
lions.

The History of a Name

There is frequently a bit of history at
tached to nom de plumes, particularly in
these days when nom de plumes are OBJ
solete. Dejeans, the pen name of the
author of 1.-The House of Thane,' just
published by the Lippincotts Is an en-
pertaining example of name transition.
According to early family records 1t
was the surname of the half French, half
Spanish ancestors of the author, the
Jeans portion of the name being pro-
nounced like the French given name,
Jean. In the sixteen tn century a GER
tain Giron Dejeans took up his residence
in England. and in time, for some unex-
planned reason, the name was written
with letters transposed, "Dejanes." A
grant of land made to Giron Dejeans is
still in the name of his descendants, the
Deianes of Cambridgeshire. says the Kan
sas City Star.
Then America took hand in the game.
A William Dejanes came from England
to this country some two hundred years
ago. He dropped the de-" calling him
self simply william James. But from
the Jsnes family a child has been christ
ened Deieans James, in disapproval pos
sihly of the various ancestors who tam
pered with their rightful French cogno-
men.
The anthor of 1.-THE House of Thane''
was so named-Elizabeth Dejeans James,
When from the radical character of her
first novel; 1.-THE Winning Chance" il
seemed probable that staid relatives
might be discounted to find themselves
allied to the author, she chose for her
pen name what was her very own, Eliza
beth Dejeans.

HARVARD DEFEATS
CORNELL WITH EASE

Cambridge, Mass, November 1.-The

which the Crimson won with apparent
ease, 20 to g.
While Brickley. fullback; Hardwick,

Brickley added his customary goal from

middle of the field and was a negligible
factor for three periods

and they crumb1ed against the Ithacan
onslaught. Although they made a game
stand and held Cornell for three downs,
they could not prevent a score on the
fourth rush.
Cornell almost failed to make the
touchdown, for Barrett, right half, In

two weeks ago.
The three Harvard touchdowns, all
by Brickley, came ON steady rushing

was of a spectacular nature with the
exception of the 15-yard forward pass

Why Butter Is High Priced

Although Chicago housewives have
been paying midwinter prices for butter
throughout the summer, and in spite of
the fact that there are more than $780,
600 pounds OF the product in cold storage,
a further upward boost of n cent a pound
has been made In wholesale quotations.
and an advance of cent a pound, or
more Is to go into effect in retail prices
at once
The new increase made the price to job
bers 261h cents a pound. This is l to 21a
cents a pound more than was paid at
this time last year, when the amount of
butter In sight was 100000 pounds less
than at present, says the Chicago Trib-
une. Retailers are paying %. 20 and 20
cents a pound, the different prices being
for cartons of one, one-half and one
quarter pound. Prices to consumers
range from 35 cents to SO cents a pound,
depending on localities.
According to the Warehousemen's as
ISOLATION report. holdings of butter In cold
storage August were among the largest
ever known, or 65, "a, 900 pounds, This is
| 10, $4,000 pounds more than reserves OF
a year ago.
These heavy holdings are the result Of
one of the most prosperous years butter
producers ever had In the early spring
| favorable weather and abundant pastures
resulted in material increase in the pro-
| duction of butter. Many Of the cream
cries in the middle west produced more
butter than ever before in their history,
and receipts at Chicago showed a sur
plus of 100000 pounds over arrivals for
the corresponding time last year.
Throughout this period prices were held
at to 4 cents a pound higher than n
year ago and butter was showed into cold
storage rooms almost as fast as 1t was
produced. Now dealers say. prices the
coming winter will have to advance TO
the highest level ever known In the his
tory of the trade here IL present hold
ers of the product are to get out without
q loss.

True Songs of the Negro

"Suwanee River is no more charae-
teristic of the negro than Dixie" Is typ
ical of a Fiji Islander. "old Black joe
depicts the life of the negro because
many of our folks believe in death-bed
visions, says Henry Allen in the New
York Tribune.
Poor Old Ned is another favorite OF
ours, the frs. verse running thus:
Lay down de shubble and de hoe
Hang up de fiddle and de bow;
Oars no more work for poor old Ned
He's gone whah de good niggahs go.
Most white folk seem to think that the
banjo is familiar instrument of black
folk of the south. 1t Is used mostly by
what are known as the roustabouts. Tho
men of this type usually wear felt hats
with four creases, which indicates Work

Railroad BILL" while the banjo all but
talks as he sings and plays Cant Get

jewsharp Is used by the cornfeld men
of color. The guitar belongs largely to
the better class of negro men.
Ethiopian damsels are somewhat like
the Spanish maids-they like soft music
and love songs. II you wish to hear
plantation melodies with variations sung
with natural harmony, go to the impor-
tant cities and towns of the south and
get In touch wit hthose sons of Ham who
go about serenading nights. Oftentimes
when Miss Salle and her sutton are sit
ting on the piazza inhaling the fragrance
of the honeysuckle in the stiffness OF
the night as the moon sends down lts
soft gray light, they'll be surprised to
hear sudden sound of voices ring out
on the big lawn: "Oh, darkies, won't
you meet me there. where the moonlight
seems to glitter?'
But II you wish to hear real, SOUL stir
ring songs. go among the camp meetings
and hear them sing Little David. PLY
