TOWNS THAT RESIST FLAMES
Structures In Europe Are Hard to
Destroy, Even When Work 10
Prosecuted With Energy.

The cities and towns of Belgium
and northern France do not burn
easily. This reflection must have
come to nearly everybody who fol-
lows the news from the main battle
region of western Europe. Cities and
villages that have been frequently
under bombardment by larger can
non and faster firing cannon and
greater numbers of cannon than have
ever before been used in war, survive
though preached and battered, but
they do not burn. In some cities
whole districts have been crushed
and crumbled by artillery fire, but
flames started in hundred different
spots have not swept the place OIL
the map. Most American towns, If
subjected to such an ordeal, would be
but a pile Of cinders, a black scar on
the landscape.
Where villages have been burned
in the western fighting area, it has
been necessary, so say the accounts,
to set fire to the place house by
house. The interior woodwork goes
up in flames, but stout stone or brick
walls, tiled roofs and other things
have prevented the spread of the
flames from house to house and from
quarter to quarter. There is a les
son for America in the comparative
ly noninhammable towns of Europe

ITALIANS LIKED IN IRELAND
Latin ExiIes Have From Very Early
Times Figured in the Life
Of Dublin.

Towards the end of the eighteenth
century the resident noblemen of
Ireland spent a large amount Of
money in decorating their mansions
"a necessary outlay at time when
there was a regular Dublin season,
and when the Irish country gentle
man had his seat in either the Irish
house of lords or the Irish house of
commons. They were especially anx-
ious to give beautiful interiors to
their mansions, which were stately
though rather severe, and they in
vited to Dublin number of Italian
workmen, who might bring to the
humid climate of Ireland something
of the grace, the joy and sunshine OF
the South.
Thus there grew up in Dublin for
some years a small colony of Italian
decorators. The identity in religion
between Italians and Irish may per-
haps explain why the Italian exile
has been always something of fig
ure in Dublin life. He has always
been represented by the beautiful boy
that hawks the statuettes of the
saints and the other figures of the
New Testament which Irish families
so dearly love to have among their
household possessions and orna-
ments.

ANcIENTs HELD FLY IN AWE.

The fly is recognized as likely to
be one of the deadliest combatants
of the coming summer, unless ade-
quate precautions are taken against
it, as Britain, France and Germany
all intend to do. One is reminded
of the awe in which the ancients
held the fly. Beelzebub, the lord OF
flies, was the equivalent of sundry
such divinities, such as Zeno Apo
muios (driver away of flies) and
Hercules Muiagros (fiy catcher)
Beelzebub also was no doubt honored
as an averter of the nuisance. But
the fly was almost certainly detested
in those old days not so much as a
disease carrier as on account of its
direct worry. One of the prettiest
pictures in Homer Is that of the
mother brushing away the flies from
the face of her babe.

GOOD LESSON FOR MICHAEL
DisobIlgIne cosehman Got Merited
Rebuke From His Thought
fui Employer.

The late Mr.. II. B. Clahin, who
was one of the great merchants of
the last generation, lived for many
years at Kingsbridge, one Of the sub
urbs Of New York. 1t was his whim
to have each morning before break
fast a drink Of cold water fresh from
a spring near the house.
One very rainy morning the
pitcher was not in its usual place,
and he asked the waitress why it was
missing.
"Why, Mr. Clahin," she said, at
was raining so hard and is so muddy
that l was afraid if l went after
the water | should be too soiled to
wait on the table. | asked Michael
to get it for me, but he said it was
his business to look after the horses
and carriages not to run errands."
"Ohp said Mr.. Clahin thought
fully. 'Perhaps he is right, Ella.
Please tell him | want the victoria"
Ten minutes later, with much
trampling Of hoofs and champing Of
bits, the carriage drew up at the
door, with Michael on the box in his
rubber coat and hat cover.
"Come, Ella" said Mr.. Clahin,
''get your pitcher and taking her
by the arm, he walked down the
front steps and helped her into the
carriage.
"Michael," said he, drive Ella to
the spring and back, so she can get
me some water without muddying
herself"
Ever after Michael used to fill the
pitcher on rainy mornings without
even waiting to be asked.

Civil war. Just after the battle Of
Fredericksburg deserter was brought

colonels indignation as a willful de-
sertion or cowardice. and he turned
on the weakened soldier in a tower
ing rage and said: What do you mean
by deserving your post in the hour OF
your country's peril? Have you no
feeling Of patriotism? Why did you
ever enlist II you are such a coward ?"

GLOBE TO HAVE A NEW
RAILROAD DEPOT

GLOBE, Ariz., Dec. 2.-Globe IS to
have a new passenger depot, adequate
not only to present needs but designed
to meet the requirements Of a grow
ing city, the commercial center of one
of the largest and most important min
ing districts in the southwest, for the
next 25 years, according to Colonel
Epes Randolph, who has been in GLOBE
recently.
The new depot is to be substan-
tial and slightly brick structure of TWO
stories, having commodious waiting
rooms, ticket office and baggage room,
modern in appointment and furnish
ings. The railroad offices will be on
the upper floor.
The business of the Arizona East
ern, President Randolph states, has
improved largely over what it was
last year, when it fell short $15O,OOO
of meeting it's operating and fixed
expenses. Traffic over the Bowie,
Globe and Miami division is heavier
than that of any other division Of the
Arizona Eastern, due to the great ac-
ticity in mining and general business
in the Globe Miami district. However,
conditions in Arizona, chiefly political,
are not favorable to the railroads,
which are hampered by bad laws and
unreasonable regulation.

SEAL YOUR CHRISTMAS PACK.
AGES WITH RED CROSS
SEALS

In the war abroad the Red Cross
ministers to the wounded and the
starving, but in our own country
there is a war in which Red Cross
Christmas seals bring relief to the
suffering and dying, and also defense
against the enemy.
The enemy in this war is tubercu-
losis, more deadly, than any armed
enemy. 1t claims one death out of
every seven from all causes. We
have now learned, however, that tu-
berculosis is preventable and durable,
and in the fight against it the death
rate has already been reduced one
half.
These CHEEKY holiday tokens, SO ap.-
packages just now, are sold at one
cent each to raise the money re-
quired in the local work of education
and prevention and relief and cure.
Eighty-five per cent of the money
raised by the sale Of these stamps
in Arizona goes toward helping to
support ST. Luke's Hospital for tuber-
culosis in Phoenix; the remaining
fifteen per cent is sent to the ma
tional fund.
Three people have already been
sent from Ray to st. Luke's for care
and treatment, so it is good business
for the people of Ray to buy these
stamps generously.
They will be for sale at the bazaar
of the Woman's Guild next Tuesday
and after that they may be secured
at the drug store.
