Review
Here's 10 the class of 1851
The ~so-called slow unlucky thirteen,
But who IN the past. as I've been told.
Have proven themselves Better Than
Gold"
Long were the years through which
they have tOiled.
Many the sorrows and troubles and
Often have they from hard lessons re-
coiled,
That the n might come has long
been their prayer.
Lo, the long wished for night has ar
rived,
But instead of the end. It's only begun:
In place OF hard lessons by teachers
assigned,
Great battles in life must be fought
n won.
So here's health. JOY. prosperity to all.

The CircumstantiaI Exporter.
(Cor. Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette.)
Shortly after u o'clock Tuesday
night h fire bell ounded it's alarm
throughout the town and the news
spread rapidly that the Fee hotel was
afire. Nightwatch Vaughn discovered
the fire and turned in the alarm just
in time TO prevent serious disaster. 1t
seems that a travelling man, a can
VaSSer, came in before Il O'Clock and
after a light luncheon was shown to
his room in the northwest corner Of
the building. Here he thought to
write some letters before retiring. but
being tired lay down on the bed to
smoke and rest for a short time. Evil
IDENTIFY he fell asleep and his cigar fell
onto the bed. When the alarm was
given Mr.. Fee, proprietor of the hotel.
rushed 10 the door Of the room and
forced an entrance. The room was
full of smoke and had already broken
into blaze. The man on the bed had
not wakened. He was partially reused
and dragged from the room by Mr..
Fee n others who had gone to the
rescue. Just a few moments more and
it would have been too late. AS il
was, DR.. Frank Bevier worked all
night with the man to get his lungs
into safe working order, so damaged
We're they by the smoke he had in
hailed.
Given, a little sunshine
Between the daily showers
Would make a mighty difference
In this old life of ours.

THE BARRIERS PERIsCoPE.

From HadlOck Mills, a Maine town
so small that you can't even find it on
a fair-sized map, comes a trade bunch
that ought 10 be worth money to any
barber in any community in the
United States.
Sid IO1brOOk, it appears. had had
a run of fierce competition with Silas
Harvey for the barber trade of Had
lock Mills. The two had We'd in al
ternate improvements and attractions,
running the gamut of new enamel
chairs. clean tissue paper covers for
the head-rest, rocking-chairs for wait
ing patrons instead Of old wooden set
tees. good magazines TO replace the
mOnth-old sporting sheet and the Po-
lice Gazette, monographs and me-
chanical banjoes, young alligators and
pet monkeys to attract the artistic
and curious, and still honors were
about even.
Then Sid HolbroOk had his revolu-
tionary idea. Wha6 was ii, he asked
himself. that "A man desires most.
while leaning back in a BARRIERS chair?
He yearns to see Outside-just because
he can't. Forced to stare up at an
embarrassing ceiling. he wonders what
is going on in the street, and all the
BARRIERS glib chatter can't compen-
safe for the defect.
But how could il be done? Simplest
thing in the world. Sid had read about
the periscope. by which the captain of
a submarine sees what is going on all
around while he is safely submerged.
The soldiers, too, he knew, use it in
the trenches. to look at the enemy
without exposing their heads to rifle
fire.
So Sid installed above his BARRIERS
chair, a tin pipe running up through
the roof. with a mirror combination
in it that enables a patron, while hav-
ing his beard removed, to gaze at ease
IN the busy life Of Hadlock Mills
Main st. And the way the citizens are
docking to Sid's barber shop is a eau
ton.
Periscopes for barber shops! It's
the las word. Who'll be the first To
install them here?

is to be a preventive rather than a de-

which will have more influence with
enemy nations than an array of brlst-
