How much more amusing the true

his studio to a correspondent. Take
the case of the little girl.
"'My dear the little girls mother
said, don't you think you're getting too
old to play with boys?'

TENEMENT FIRE
CAUGHT IN A FIRE TRAP ANC
HAD NO CHANCE OF ESCAPE
FROM FLAMES.
Fire Started in Basement and Spread
Rapidly up the Stairway, Several
of Victims Being Burned to Death
in Effort to Reach Roof.

New York-Fourteen persons are
known to have been killed and four
injured. one MORALLY, in fire in
five-story tenement house on Thurs
day. The victims were caught in a
veritable fire trap and had scarcely
a chance for their lives.
Firemen searching the fire-swept
apartments, announced that fourteen
bodies had been recovered, among
them being a women with a babe in
her arms. Several are missing. All
the bodies were so badly charred as
to render Identification almost i'm
possible.
The fire started in the basement OF
a five and ten-cent store on the first
floor, and spread rapidly up the stair
way. Many occupants Of the apart
ments escaped by fire escapes, while
those who persisted had no chance tc
reach the fire escapes. Part of the
building was used as a boarding house
and three of the bodies taken from
the top floor are believed to have
been transient roomers. They were
burned to death while trying to make
their way to the roof.

CABIN CREEK SLATE"
East Bank, July II, 1911.

| East Bank, July IT, 1914.
Cabin Creek District in Kanawha
county, which, for more than a year
has been peaceable under a Socialist
| regime, is to be retaken by the cohorts
OF EXPEDITION.
II the former results of democratic
and republican misrule had not been
so serious, involving in the end. the
fifteen months Of military anarchism,
the situation as it is to be this fall,
would be extremely laughable.
There are, | believe, more red card
Socialists and adherents to socialistic
privileges in Cabin Creek District
than there was in the election of 1912,
but chief boodlers of kanawha county,
repubicanism and democracy, have
agreed to combine on the Q. T.
The school affairs of Cabin Creek
District is big issue, involving as
1t does more than 1873 teachers, every
one of whom has several relatives.
Besides the teachers, there is consider
able patronage in the way of repairs,
supplies, janitors and other contracts.
The Socialists have one member of
the board, elected in 1912, the Demo-
Gratis have two members whose terms
expire with this year.
Here is where the joke comes in:
The Republican Committeeman, from
East Bank is notorious for his inabil
ity to keep secrets. He has informed
me (conidentialIy) rs he has numbers
Of others, that while their will be
two candidates for the Board Of Edu-
cation. on each ticket, one from each
ticket must be scratched by Demo
Gratis and Republicans, thus making
sure Of defeating the Socialists.
1t may work, but present indications
are than it is last ditch which may
crumblc on to its occupants. The
slate as she lays now is that the Re-
rublicunS are 10 vote for Henry Strph-
uuSou OH the Democrat ticket and tho
Democrats are to vote for Col. Wool
