1t happens that my stories are read
in the family of a well-known probate
judge up in Danbury, Conn, writes
Irwin S. Cobb. Otherwise the judges
household is above reproach. Not
the least important member of
the family is the queen of the kitchen,
the old colored cook, and she has her
fling at the magazine every week as
o as the new one arrives.
The judge is a keen follower of all
the war stories by different writer's
in the magazine, and he knew that the
old nanny had been looking over
some Of the stuff herself, as she had
expressed her opinions about the Ger.

sions.
One day 500 after the story of my in

POOR. FARM BUILDING
DAMAGED BY FIRE

jamestown, Sept. 22.-The Stuts-
man county poor farm at the western
edge Of the city was threatened %lth
total destruction by fire at noon yes
terday the building being saved only
by the prompt and vigorous action Of
Superintendent Philip Range, assist
ed by others at the farm, who were
later aided by the arrival Of members
Of the jamestown fire department
coming by automobiles, bringing
| chemical extinguishers. The interior
Of the building, however, was badly
flooded with water and several holes
were burned and chopped through the
| roof before the flames were controlled.
Tie fire started in the toilet room
on the second floor, a wastepaper bas-
ket full of papers becoming i9i:itad,
it is supposed, by a burning match
thrown into the pile. When the blaze
was discovered the upper rooms We're
filled with smoke, which was also
coming through the ROOF. Supelln-
tendent l;ange, returning from tie
fields at II o'clock for dinner. saw
the smoke and gave the alarm. A
hose was run from the tank in the
Farm pumphcuse and the sas engins
started to give pressure. The blaz.
was partially controlled, but the ar
rival Of the fire department :men with
chemical e~xtineuishers completed the
work of saving he building.
Much Of the furniture was carried
out to the farm ward, as, for a few
minutes. it was thought the building
was doomed. The damage By fife and
water will amount to several hundred
dollars.

peaceful and somewhat Puritanic Sab
bath of Old New England entirely dis
appear but for its destruction we consid-
er the clergymen and the more rigidly
religious people of Vermont chiefly re
sponsible At least twice in recent
years a proposal has come before the
legislature to modify the old and
wholly non enforceable laws of the past
and to substitute for some of its pro-
visions a reasonable separation between
necessary and unnecessary Sunday bust
ness Each time the proposal has been
killed through the efforts of clergy
men and their close associates. They
have seemed to prefer an old law that
for 50 years has been found of no eff
feet than to recognize the conditions
of the present and to face those con-
ditions To believer in the JOY and
beauty and peace and charity of the
Christian religion without the horrors
and hardships of some of the old time
doctrine the situation in regard to the
observance Of Sunday is anything but
encouraging.

Houston Now a Seaport.

Because of recent unfavorabIe condi,
tions on the gulf of Mexico not SO
much attention, it is recognized, as
would otherwise have been the case,
was given the formal opening of the
ship channel connecting Houston with
the deep water of the Galveston jetties.
This waterway makes Houston sea
port. Although that city has long had
water connection with the gulf by way
of Buffalo bayou, the passage has not
at any time been satisfactory. 1t is
claimed that the new ship channel will
do for Houston and for large part OF
Texas what the Dalles-Celilo canal dill
do for parts of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho. The new waterway is 80 miles
long and it is in connection, at Hous
ton, with splendid dock terminals, and
with Il railroad lines Houston, II is
said, is going to be an active biddei
for South American trade, and its op
portunities seems to be promising. =

Vermont ir Glass A.
(Rutland Herald.)

Bradstreet s summary for August
gives more information than any Of
its monthly reports for year past.
There is something between the lines
which makes the Vermonter smile In
a general way it shows that this part
of New England has enough to eat and
to wear and enough work to prevent
idleness. There is also another phase
of the report which speaks well for
Vermont-lack of business embarrass-
ments. Failures for August totaled
liabilities of $24,45O against $S8,022 IN
August of last year. Another factor
which figures into business conditions
is the loss by fire. In August, 1911
the fire loss in this state aggregated
$91, 800. The figures this year are $33,
056
In summing up, Vermont may be
reckoned in the 4 class as to hazard
Gus times next winter, as being in bet
ter shape than some of her nearby
neighbors, as being, generally, fairly
prosperous state when the condition
of business the world over is taken in
to consideration.
