IS HELPS
RAISE STANDARD OF HOUSING
New Ordinances In Force at Duluth
Constitute an Advance step Of
Importance.

Various cities In recent months have
taken cognizance of the importance
OF good housing conditions. One OF the
first to take constructive action by
complete revision of its housing code,
following a searching investigation,
was Duluth. Like every other city
which has been careless with respect
TO the way it's people live, Duluth had
been housing some of It's population In
dark interior rooms and dark, damp
Easements; 1t had room overcrowding
and lot overcrowding; and It's toilet
facilities were in many instances not
conducive either to decency or To
health.
The first result of these discoveries
was the appointment by the common
council, on the recommendation OF the
mayor, of housing committee. This
committee at once set about the task
of drafting an ordinance based upon q
model law. A draft of this ordinance
was submitted to the National Housing
association for comment, 1t was made
the subject Of several public hearings
in Duluth and finally passed by vote
Of to 8.
Hereafter in Duluth both tenement
houses and single family dwellings
must have enough open space on their
lots to light and ventilate every room,
rooms must be large enough for hablta'
ton and must have windows opening
to the outer air, the height OF wooden
tenement houses will be limited ana
other safeguards provided against Are.
Every new tenement house must have
within each apartment a proper sink
with running water and water closet
located either in a bathroom or In .
separate compartment. Every dwelling
house, when water main and sewer are
accessible, must ALSO have running
water and a water closet within the
house.
For existing houses the regulations.
Of course, are not SO strict as for new
buildings but for them also the stand
ards have been raised in the interesta
of decency and health.

American Benefactions.

Many a worthy but struggling char.
lty has been placed on its feet by a
timely bequest or gift from a living
friend, and the whole cause of organ
lied benevolence has frequent rea-
son to rejoice over this tendency
which, while not by any means con
fined to one nationality, is known in
the United States on scale never
known before. Large gifts in this
country amounted last year to more
than $3O0,OOO,OO0, without including
any of less than $4,000. Examined
in detail the list is long one. TIL
evident purpose is TO benefit mali
kind in making it better equipped for
the duties of life, and to prevent and
ameliorate human suffering. Educa-
tional institutions, hospitals and sani-
tary work received more than half
the gifts of last year Elevated art
was we'll remembered and responsible
charities received a generous share.

Sexton Is ShreWd.

Among the tourists who travel
through France, considerable mum
Der visit the cathedral at Rheims, a
magnificent example of Gothic archi
lecture. In the tower there is an
enormous clock, and it is the sections
business to wind it every day-a very
tirirg job, as the weights are natural
ly extremely heavy.
The sexton, however, is very
shrewd fellow. Whenever he shows
the trippers this wonderful piece of
mechanism he remarks: Ladies and
gentlemen, If you do not believe me
regarding the heaviness of the clock
weights, try for yourselves"
Each of the trippers Immediately
gives turn or two to the wheel, and
as there are some 200 visitors day
the trippers unconsciously and eager
ly wind the clock for him, and, in
addition, give him an extra tip for
being allowed to do his work.

complying with the admonitlons or
the head nurse concerning retiring
time. Paul led Won Grobelaar to the
harpsichord and showed him the new
3wire.
II didn't understand" said Won
Grobelaar, looking at Paul with the
vague air of one absorbed in some
abstract cogitation. DO you know"
he continued, that the sight of her
little highness there made me feel
like an old fool? When | think how
many such princesses have grown up
to be men and women -"
I beg your pardon" said Paul, Did
you notice that wire?"
81 what which wire? Well,
what of it?"
81 was here last night when the
palace was asleep"
Then, sir, you were grossly remiss
in your duty. You should have re-
manned in your ROOM
"Possibly," answered Paul drily.
But the fact remains that that wire
runs out of the harpsichord and
through that statue and into my
room?"
WHAT
Won Grobelaar turned on him a face
yellow with fear He tottered and
seemed about to fall
II didn't hear you, my friend. You
spoke about some wire?"
THAT WIRE" repeated Paul indul-
gently, connects with the chiifonier
In her majestys -"
MY God" yelled the minister, and
he dashed for the door. Along the
corridor he ran, Paul hurrying after
him. But agile as he was, Paul could
not catch the old minister until he
came upon him at the door Of his own
apartment. Won Grobelaar did not
seem to notice him. With one sweep
of the hand he consigned the chif-
fonier cover to thu floor, with Paul's
hair-brushes, keys, collarbox and var
ious small articles of baggage. He
pressed a thumb-nail to the polished
surface and tapped once. The We
neered top slid back, disclosing an
ivory button on which was printed,
in tiny type, Groningen.
He stared at it and turned on Paul
like madman.
1T is all gone!" he yelled. "Hol-
land is e-dead-drowned under
the waves. That button connects with
the military defense works beside the
dykes. A touch blows Hollands bull
warks against the sea to pieces and
submerges the land, with five million
living men and women. The queen.
and l. alone of all Holland, knew
where the secret lay That button
was to be touched when Hollands
foes were at the gates of the Hague.

dykes, but never dreamed they knew
the secret" He shook his fist iN'l 'aul's
face. You have killed five million
men and women, murderer, he
screamed. You were not put here tc
guard the Princess Juliana. You were
put here to prevent anyone entering
and touching that button. l cou'dn't

you would be true to your trust. God
almighty, they found the secret anG

the old gentleman oy the hands. "The

BIG PRICE FOR SENTENCE
Pennsylvania Judge Gets $4,000 For
Three Words-"stop, Look,

More or less fanciful tales are tod
of the price per word paid to famous

words at this rate, however, but those
words are familiar to any one who

Stop, Look, Listen"
There are several versions OF the
origin of this crossing warning but
that it was the work of the attorney
is the correct one. At any rate he re-
ceived the money.
Between thirty and forty years ago
a lawyer named Paxson, who eventur
ally became one of Pennsylvania
most famous judges, was counsel for
the Philadelphia and Reading railroad.
Later he was its receiver during the
earlier reorganization which preceded
that of 1894 While Paxon was its
counsel the inadequacy Of the old-t1me
crossing-sign as a legal warning and
the danger Of persons passing 1t un-
needed became a matter Of serious
discussion. Paxon was asked by tha
\ railroad TO devise an inscription that
should fulfil all the reQuirements-a
sign that would warn passers-by and
would legally protect the railroad Il
they did not heed.
1t seemed like very simple thing.

and reference to innumerable prece-

Of the matter had been settled the
solution was to decide on the smallest
number Of words that would be sufh-
cient without crowding the sign. They
had to be short and so few that they
might be read and understood at q
glance, even by the most uninteIi-
gent.
Many forms were tried and reject

zation of his labors. 1t was neither
vague, inconspicuous nor verbose.
Paxon's fee was $4,000. 1t was prob
ably the most valuable copy ever
turned in by writer.

FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
lnaugurated in Ellsworth Yesterday

lnaugurated in Ellsworth Yesterday
Two-Cent Postage on Local Letters.
The free mail delivery system was in
augurated in Ellsworth yesterday, the
carriers going out for the first time at the
afternoon delivery shortly after 8 O'Clock.
There are two regular carriers, and one
auxiliary carrier. Walter K. Mason is
carrier No. 1, and Herbert s. Hall is No. 2.
Harold F. Hawkes. is the auxiliary car
rier. These three were appointed in the
order in which they ranked in the recent
civil service examination for the positions.
There are two deliveries daily, the car
riers leaving the postoffice at 10 a. m. and
p. m. collection trip is to be made
between $50 and 4.10. The mail boxes
have not yet been erected, having been
delayed somewhere in shipment, having
been on the road some weeks. The car
riers will, however, take letters for mailing
on their regular delivery trips, but only
when the required postage is attached.
The district served by the carriers is,
roughly, all north of Main street TO the
junction of Oak and State streets, and
from the railroad to the river; east of the
railroad on Main street to Union street
and through Mckenzie avenue to Main
and short distance further east on Main
street to No. 311; Beal avenue to No. 10;
out High street to Washington street, and
through Washington to Water street, and
down Water street to No. 432, with all
cross streets included within these limits.
Or the west side of the river the district
will include Grant street to No. Ill; the
Bridge hill section and cross streets.
These districts will be subject to changes
as the system is worked out, the routes
being extended in some instances and
probably shortened in others.
An important thing for Ellsworth
people to remember is that hereafter all
local letters, whether for postoffice boxes
or on the carriers routes, must bear two
cent postage, excepting, of course, the
second class mail, such as circulars, in
unsealed envelopes.
