"AprjI Fool" Franks

The custom of playing a joke upon
ones neighbor upon the first of April
Is of very ancient origin, dating so
far back in the past that we are I'M
able to tell just when or with what
nation it had It's birth.
Among the Hindus there is feast
which is still observed. called the
Full which. continuing several
days, terminates on the 31st of March.
One of the distinctive featul es of this
feast is that every one endeavors to
send his neighbor upon some errand
to some imaginary person. or to per-
sons whom he knows are not at home;
and then all enjoy good laugh at the
disappointment of the messenger. The
observance of this custom by this
peculiar people seems to indicate that
it had very early origin among man

SWALLOWS NUMEROUS
ON ELECTRIC WIRES
Birds ara Lining Cables These Days,
Preparatory to Making An
nuaI Migration.

MANY of the early risers and some
not SO early have noticed that the
electric light wires have been thickly
populated by a black bird, familiar to
some as the house martin or window
swallow. These birds are now con-
gregating preparatory to their winter
migration. They are among the earll-
etc of the birds to leave.
The particular swallows spoken OF
above are classified under the head
genus Iinnaen, order 1nsessores, tribe
Fissirostres, and family Hirundinidae'
commonly known as passerine plrds.
They are particularly noticed for their
regular migrations, thef' graceful
fight, and the soulful music. 1t should
be known that the window swallow
:. one Of the most useful birds. They
feed upon insects of the air, TAKING
them on the wing. Before the OLD
canal was destroyed it was common
sight to see the wires On the dump
black with these bros.
This swallow has short bill ana
wide cape. Their plumage Is Often
iridescent above. but not in this spe-
cies The tail is forked and the blue
black wings are quite long, extend
inc beyond the tail. Beneath, the
feathers are white and the small,
weak feet are lined with downy plum
ago The nests are made In windows
~ more frequently on lodges from
clay. These birds utter a sweet t"it-

bers before migrating. 1t Is this

was visited by disastrous fire yes
terday, when lightning struck the
planning mill of j. "A. White on the
northeast corner Of Seventh and
Lafayette streets. The mill with its
contents was destroyed within an
hour.
Warsaw's waterworks plant was put
to supreme test at the largest fire
the city has had for years. and If the
department had been forced to depend
on cisterns, a large section of the
city would have been burned. The
ire department was quickly on the
scene and had four streams from as
many hydrant5, and also the chemical
engine playing on the fire which had
developed to alarming proportions
blew from the northwest. For time
the fire seemed to defy the heroic eff
forts of the fire ladies, owing to the
very infiammable nature of the con-
tents Of the mill, the rear part Of
which was frame.
Lumber Yard In Danger.
At one time the mammoth INmber
shed just across the street and south
OF the mill was in great danger, and
in fact was clustering from the heat,
+ but two streams and several small
chemical extinguishers were turned
on it constantly and thus it was
saved. The incubator house fronting
on Main street caught fire but the
blaze was quickly extinguished.
The fire department did heroic
work, exposing themselves in reveral
instances to great danger, and the
pipemen's faces were blistered as
they almost walked into the flames.
II was fire fighting indeed and at one
time it looked as if the fire could not
be controlled, the yind was so high.
Mill an old Landmark.
. The main part Of the mill was Of
brick and was an old landmark known
for long time as the Black mill,
named for its former owner. 1t and
the frame addition were filled with
some of the finest modern woodwork
ing machinery to be had and all as
good as new. The mill did an extern
sive business in the manufacture of
doors, sash, blinds, store fixtures and
fronts, church pulpits and pews, in
side house finish and various other
kinds of fine wood work.
Recently electric power from the
dam had been installed and was prov
ing an economic change.

number of the mill hands had
sets OF valuable tools in the building,
but owing to the intense heat and
smoke 1t was impossible to save
them. The destruction of this mill is
a great loss to Warsaw as 1t was one
OF her leading industries, employing
quite good force of men, who are
thus unexpectedly thrown out Of en-
ployment.
