St. Paul Union DEPOT Burns.

Fire, which started at II O'Clock
on Friday night, destroyed the St.
Paul Union depot-that is, it left
nothing but the bare walls Of the
structure standing. The train
sheds, however, received but little
damage, and it did not take long for
the authorities to improvise a ticket
office and make other necessary ar
rangements for the transaction of
business
The fire started in the restaurant
on the second floor from some cause
which has not been determined, and
was discovered by B. J. Thorpe,
stationmaster, after it had gained
great Roadway. The restaurant at
the time was closed.
Thorpe was standing in the main
lobby when he heard a cracking
sound. Rushing up the stairs he
saw the flames pouring from the
doors and walls of the lunchroom
and the kitchen. He sent a porter
to sound an alarm and began routing
people out of the offices and waiting
rooms. Half a dozen immigrants
had to be fairly pushed into the
street. The ticket clerks threw
their cash into the safe and ran. A
hundred people in the main waiting
room rushed out, and just as the last
of the crowd reached the street the
walls of the second story cupola fell.
The fire. roared through the big
train shed and the fire department
could do nothing but fight to pro-
tect adjoining buildings. Fortuna
tely no one was injured in the fire.
The loss is estimated at $3.50, 900.

Kanabec Farmers Need His Aid.

Warren B. Thurston, federal
dairy inspector who has come to
work in Minnesota along the line OF
promoting proper methods in dairy
ing and creamery operation, has de.
cided to locate at Mora and carry on
educational work for a time. The
location, he says, is fine for dairying,
but the industry has not been de:
veloped as it should be and the local
creamery has had it's troubles. It
will be his work to solve the prob.
lens of the creamery and of the

Marriage Vows N. G. in Minneapolis.

Over 300 divorce cases are pending
in the -Hennepin court and similar
conditions exist in most every large
Feity.~~But the-worst of it is that the
interested parties are recruited
mostly from a class of people of
social standing, with pretensions all
out of harmony with their own con-
duct. 1t would seem that here is a
field in which the church could do
some good and be of lasting benefit,
if preachers of fashionable congre-
cations were not so discouragingly
timid. But the trouble with many
of them is that they care more for
their lucrative position than for
the salvation of their flock, hence
the negative result Of their work. -

State School Aid Larger Than Ever.

Owing to growth of the permanent

Every Hive Has Its Drones.

The Crosby Crucible is of the
opinion that the business men who
refuse to join and contribute to the
Commercial club should be invited
to move to some other community.
The Crucible man is right, but every
community has a large per cent of
business men who refuse to bear
their proportion of the natural
public burdens, hoping to reap the
harvest sown by others. 1t was
always so-every hive has it's drones,

CHILDREN'S SAFETY CAMPAIGN.

The increased complexities in mod
ern community life due principally to
fast street cars and the growing num-
Der of autos and motor trucks makes
it more or less a perilous thing TO
cross a city highway. 1t is some
thing that requires care and watch
fulness even on a quiet residential
street. In business thoroughfares the
pedestrian must be ever alert. But
many are not and this is reflected in
the daily list of deaths and injuries
printed in the newspapers.
If grown up men and women are
subject to these dangers children
stand in more peril OF them. 1t is
because Of this that lectures on safety
are to be given every week to the pu-
pills in the Chicago schools. Youth
is needless and many a careful auto
list has unintentionally crushed out
a young life because either mothers
are not careful, children are allowed
vehicles. or heretofore they have been
given no instruction in the rules of
safety.
The grown up men in the steel
works at Gary and Indiana Harbor
are given daily lessons in safety.
There are at both plants directors of
safety and inspectors of safety.
Bulletins are issued devoted to safety.
safety appliances are used, and thous-
ands OF signs are erected in the name
| of safety. In short, safety is always
| first
| If matured men are constantly
warned and impressed with the
meaning of safety in crossing n
railroad track how much more do
children need 1t. The Chicago safety
lectures for children are sensible;
only they should have come long ago.
Our cities are not too small but that
the same lecture should be given in
our schools. We have the same
street perils, the same heedlessness
OF youth, the same need of safety in
struction.

MARRIAGE AND INSURANCE.

Not satisfied with sending out lit
erature to it's policy holders, instruc-
ing them in the laws of sanitation and
hygiene, and with planning for med
zeal attention for It's patrons, with
possible hospitals for tuberculous
persons among them, a certain New
York life insurance company is urg-
ing the Importance of early marriage
upon the young men and women Of
the country.
Statistics show, it says, that the
death rate of unmarried men is much
higher than that of teh married. The
high death rate of bachelors is due,
1t is asserted, both to their exposure
to adverse health influences and to
the fact that married men have a
more regular and thoroughly super
vised existence, in addition to the ia
vorable influence of increased respon-
sibility. Therefore, in order to pro-
mote health and longevity, men
should marry and marry early in life.
In advancing its argument the insur-
lance company says nothing about
women. but statements have often
been made to the effect that the life
chances of unmarried women are bet
ter than those Of the married How
ever. as comparatively few married
women insure their lives. the failure
to consider their welfare, in urging
marriage may be explained.
The insurance company declares
that the general prosperity of the
country justif1es early marriage, and
says the much-talked-of high cost of
living is overestimated as an impedi-
ment to matrimony. Our national
| sin of extravaganza, the cultivation
of expensive tastes, the habit OF
spending for costly pleasures instead

STIMULATING.

Enterprising physicians have
recognized for many years that the
stimulating properties of champagne
are valuable from the mediciial
standpoint.
New uses of the wine include its
injections simultaneously in cases of
depression and weakness after opera

According to one authority, this
procedure is more effective to combat
sickness after the administration of
chloroform than the usual method Of
administration The effect Of injec-
ton, which has first been suggested
by British doctor at Buenos Ayres,
is immediate, and there are no OBJ

THOSE INDIANA COSTS.

A great many South Chicago
persons have heard the stories
about the cost of being arrested in
Indiana, and undoubtedly most of
them have been disposed to treat
these stories as stage jokes. Not
so. however. with the members of
local pleasure club which had an
expensive experience with the
Hoosier minions of the law and the
justice mills of our neighboring
states. When 1t costs S470 to ar
rest and try the cases of forty sew
en- young men, each of whom was
assessed a fine of one dollar. they
believe that the climax has been
reached in the high cost of living.
Why it should cost more to be ar
rested in Indiana than in Illinois Is
a mystery. We always thought
that we had a corner on the high
costs for the dispensation OF JUS
tice. but 1t looks like Indiana,
which stole our steel plant is also
taking a few other points of dis
tinction from her neighboring
state.-South Chicago Calumet.

of saving for the inevitable rainy
day and old age, and the practice of
living up to and beyond our incomes
may, and probably do, 1t is declared,
have a greater influence in prevent
ing and postponing marriage than
the cost of neces stiles and ordinary
comforts.
The interest of insurance COM
panies in the social problem cannot
be regarded as altruistic. but their
suggestions may be worth consider
ing. nevertheless. Having gone so
far as to urge marriage, however.
their obvious duty is to encourage 1t
further-first perhaps, by object les
sons showing how a young couple
can I've in comfort on small salary
and save money; second. by using
direct personal argument and solicit
tation. II may yet become the Off
cial duty of insurance agents to find
out why the men who are asked to
take out policies are bachelors and to
preach the advantages of marriage
to them. In short, If the companies
have the courage of their convictions
they will become matrimonial agents
Life will then take on a new interest,
not only for the bachelors. but for
the solicitors as well.-Indianapo
