More Suggestions for Jinsles.

Jenny Wren finds it necessary to re-
peet many of the suggestions that were
printed last week for the writer's of
Jingles. Only one Jingle upon a sheet.
Sign each Jingle with the assumed
name or initials. 1t is not necessary to
attach your own name to each Jingle.
But be sure and put your real name
in with the Jingle.
This week several of the Jingles
found their way into the waste basket
as these rules were completely ignored.
Another thing. Use the initial that is
printed in the box that the firm you are
writing for has selected. Do NOT as
an example use H for Hayes Res
taurart, nor W. for Busseil & West
on as many did last week.

Rats and Matches
Cause Brisk Blaze
On Washington St.

Because of the incoherent attempt
on the part of someone to summon the
fire department by telephone early Fri
day morning Hose l and Hook and
Ladder / were sent on wild goose
chase up Mt Vernon avenue when
they ahould have been called to Wash
ington street, where a fire was in pro-
gress in No / of Block So, a two and
one-half story frame building owned
by the Edwards Manufacturing Co.
and used for tenement purposes. The
person calling could not give any ccS-
nected statement as to the location
of the fire and all that the man at
the phone at the fire sation could dis
tinguish was a few occasional words
such as gas house." ice house, etc,
but the two teams were hitched up in
quick time and start was made up
State street for Mt. Vernon avenue.
As the teams were leaving the sta
tfon an alarm was sent in from box
% on Washington street, opposite st.
Augustine's church, but they did not
wait for the indicator To show up,
thinking from the phone message re-
ceived that the alarm was from box
25. at the corner of Mt. Vernon avenue
and Mill street.
After a long run up the avenue II
became apparent that there was no
trouble in that direction and the teams
were turned back. On reaching box %
il was found that the box had not been
opened, which WAS proof that no alarm
had been rrng in from that box, and
as the teams entered Mill street a sec
ond alarm was sounded from box ".
and start was made in the right oil
reotion. AS the teams swung on TO
Northern avenue Hose was up by
the watering trough, and the three
teoms were quickly on hand.
The fire was found to be in the south
tenement OF Block 55, the lower floor
of which is occupied by John Niolette
as Il store 1t originated in the south
wall of the building, probably from
rats and matches, and worked its way
upward to the second floor and in be-
tween the floor and the ceiling. When
the department arrived the fire had
burned through the wall and the flames
were running up the outside of the
building, but two lines of hose We're
speedily laid and but a short time
was necessary for the boys to drown
out the blaze. The estimated damage
to the building on account OF the blaze
is about 800 and is covered by insur-
ance Violettes loss will be small, and
as far as could be learned he carried
no insurance. Considering the delay
caused by sending the teams in the
wrong direction the boys made a re-
markatly good stop. The all-out was
sounded at 6.35.

WORLDS MOST SACRED SPOT
Manager in Church of the Nativity at
Bethlehem Where Christ Is Said
to Have Been Born.

What may perhaps be described as
the most sacred spot on earth is the
grotto or manger in the Church OF
the Nativity at Bethlehem. This
small underground chamber, reached
from the church above by a flight Of
steps, is said to be the site of the
actual manager where Christ was born,
and silver star, let into the floor
underneath the altar. is alleged to be
the exact spot of the Nativity. Above
the star hang fifteen lamps, which
have continually Illuminated the lit
tie chapel for several hundred years.
The altar Is adorned with most
elaborate embroideries, the work Of
royal princesses, while from the cell
ing hang number of brass lamps
and a few paintings. There has, Of
course. been no little controversy az
to whether this is the actual site Of
the original nanger To begin with,
it. is underground. and many people
wonder how it could have been used
by cattle and horses. Here, however,
we have to remember that In the,
East donkeys and mules often dwell
in underground stables. and the stair
case would present no difhcuIty to
the agile native cattle of Palestine.

accepted even by the most skeptical
