By S. W. Inglisb, Fire Prevention
Expert.

There is no poetry in fire that
destroys. There is no warmth of
good cheer in a blazing house. Only
misery and want and woe can echo
from homes destroyed, from busi-
ness houses wrecked, from savings
vanished via the fire route.
And fires are the fruits of human
acts of commission and omission.
They do not start of their own &C
cord. They must always have a
human being for a partner!
This being the case, why not cul-
tivate a little foresight? Why not
keep your premises clear of trash
of litter, of waste and such things
that are excellent fire food?
When properly curbed and Cir
cumscribed, a cheering fire is q
thing that makes a most excellent
servant, contributing greatly to the
comforts of man. But to keep fire
a servant requires constant and I'M
ceasing vigil. While a good servant
it is a most exacting master!
Are you doing your full share
toward preventing fires? Ifyou are
you merit the thanks Of your neigh
bors. Every time a house is de
stroyed your neighbors must stant
their full part Of the fire insuranc,
you may collect.

He was hurried to the hospital
where an examination showed an
operation was necessary. Mrs, Jibb
and his two daughters were sum-
moned. He cOnversed with his
family before the anesthetic was ad-
ministered, telling them to be cheer
full, and saying he believed he would
recover. He died, however, few
minutes after the operation, never

to sum up the cost of the legisla-
ture and subtract from that total
every possible benefit session of
the legislature may bring to the
people, you are apt to conclude that
the legislature is not worth the
price. This is no fling at or espec-
ial criticism of the members of the
late general assembly. Evidently
there were a lot of good men in
that body. The fact seems to be
simply that there is no need for
a session of the legislature every
two years.

A Thought For The Week

No man can escape his guilt

What a weary desert this old
,,,orld would be to many Of us with
out the counsel, the companionship
and sympathy of friends If any
man can imagine a lonely traveller
On a broad oasis that contains no
water he can imagine the fate of
man if he should have to travel
tbe worlds long road alone and
without that sympathy that comes
from friends who know him and
understand and love him. There
is a thrill about the sympathy Of
friends that inspires to nobler acts
and nobler deeds, and, while many
of us may be prevented by what
would seem to be fate most cruel
from reaching that acme Of perfec-
ton that we should desire and our
friends do desire for us, yet it will be
tle close comradeship and sympa-
thy of those who know us best that
will keep many faltering travellers
ploddine along the road with the
best step they can until the very
end. A mans best asset is his
friends. Many, very many of us
are going to disappoint our friends
from without, but there are many
on the journey, we know who know
men, who know their case is not
lost until they become failure and
disappointment from within, where
the man of men either lives or dies.

San Antonio, Texas-With the ar.
rest here on Monday of twenty.six
MexicaDs, twenty-three of whom were
detained, Chief of Police Lancaster
and federal authorities announced that
plan to incite the Mexican popula.
ton of San Antonio to deeds OF VIC
lence had been frustrated.
The prisoners. according to Chief
Lancaster, are followers of the so
called plan of San Diego, an extrava-
giant manifesto promulgated by a party
of Mexican agitators, which proclaims
the republic of Texas" to be gov
erned by Mexicans. Recent uprisings
in the lower Rio Grande valley caused
the program for the establishment OF
the new government to go amiss and
at the same time federal officials were
put on their guard
Three of the leaders were arrested
while addressing a crowd of 1000 Mex
leans on the Market plaza. The adj
dresses were OF an inflammatory ma.
ture and calculated to arouse the
poorer classes OF Mexicans to deeds
of violence.
One speaker" Chief Lancaster
said, after abusing the president OF
the United States, the governor of this
state and the white race generally.
openly declared 1t is no harm to kill
a gringo and an Allemane,' (meaning
Americans and Germans.)"
1t was at this point that the police
charged the crowd and arrested the
leaders, but not without fight AS
the officers were withdrawing one OF
the Mexicans shouted:
Now is the time to rise Let us
kill the gringoes!"
The arrival of the police for the
time being quoted all martial spirit.
