Modern Fire Prevention.

Under the present laws of Pittsourg'
ID. q fireman is without power to
compel a property owner to permit
him to inspect his premises. Condl-
tions in Philadelphia are about the
same. Many other large cities are as
far behind the times. Only inexcusa-
ble carelessness or domination by self
ish commercial interests prevents eV-
ery city and town from having at
least. its factories, theatres, schools,
tenements, moving picture shows, de-
partment stores, hospitals and jails
under fire prevention" supervision
and control. The powers OF the nre
chief of every city to enforce preven-
tive measures should be as broad as
those granted to the fire commissioner
of the city of New York, who may,
personally or through his agents:
Inspect any building, struc-
ture, inclusure, vessel, place or
premises.
2-Remedy any condition found
in violation of any law or ordi-
nance in respect to fires or the

5-Require a vessel anchored
near any dock to be removed to a

catching fire, or from the nature OF
its cargo a menace to the shipping

Tired of "Fighting Talk

The Reichstag does not take kindly
to "sabre-rattling When it asks ques-
tions as to the attitude of officers to-
wards civilians in Alsace- Lorraine and
their responsibility for the excitement
of the Alsatians, 1t expects some other
answer than an outburst of eulogy on
the army from the Chancellor and the
Minister of War. 1t is said that a cer-
tain element Of German officers ex-
claim Sword knott" to justify arro-
gance and to awe remonstrance. If that
is the case, the time has passed when
Sword knot" silences the Reichstag.
Thoughtful members of the Reichstag
may we'll wonder If the tone and tenn
per of the army, which corresponds to
that the Prussian officers displayed be-
fore the Jena catastrophe of 1906, does
not portend the repetition of another
campaign undertaken in arrogant self
satisfaction destined to tragic disil-
lusionment. The officers of the Prus-
sian life guards, in one of the weeks
preceding Jena, thought that it would
be smart thing to do to sharpen
their swords on the doorsteps of the
French Embassy in Berlin. Tell those
braggarts that my Life Guards do not
sharpen their swords on doorsteps,"
said Napoleon, and in a few days he
made good his promise to see the
backs of the Prussian Life Guards

Little Bits of Heaven.

There are little bits of Heaven which are
scattered here and there,
Little places where bright angels keep
out evil and despair,
Where no tempters ever enter and con-
tention is unknown,
Where good faith and courage center,
where affection claims its own.
There are little bits of Heaven where the
days are always bright,
Little hooks from which are driven envy,
jealousy and spite,
Where contentment sweetly fingers, and
bright angels, fashioning
Baby clothes with eager fingers, Groom
the songs young mothers sing.
There are little bits of Heaven scattered
everywhere about,
Where suspicion is stranger. from
which hate is driven out,
Where bright angels learn the story
Nature whispers DER and Ger.
And, with Joy await the glory that the
future has in store.

hot dogs but who were without the
money necessary for their purchase.
They finally decided to raid a hot dog

close by his stand and one boldly walk

proprietor gave chase and before his
return the others made a dash, clean

Early reports regarding the Winters
that the log cut this year would be
very small, compared with other sea-
sons, but indications today are quite
the reverse. From reliable sources in
formation is received that practically
all of the large lumber dealers and
mill owners will have large crews in
the woods throughout the winter sea-
son. Many of the contractors already
have their crews in the woods and
there was never a time when the en-
ployment agencies in Boston have had
so many requests for woodsmen. Dur
ing the past month many car loads of
woodsmen have gone to the woods,
having been secured for the woodsmen
through the various employment bu-
reaus. Heavy hardware men who deal
In woods outfits say that their business
this year exceeds that of former years
and they have been informed that log
eing will be carried on during the VIM
ter on an exceptionally heavy scale.

snow has fallen to make good yarding
