TO PROTECT AGAINST FIRE
Parker Furniture Company InstaIIs
New Means of Prevention.

The Parker Furniture Company has
just installed the dry system of fire
protection. Pipes are placed all
through the building and at certain
intervals there are taps. A slight
heat is sufficient to melt the solder OF
the tap and brings the water down on
whatever is burning
There are 1870 taps on each floor and
there are eighty pounds of pressure
on the water which flows out of them.
The system cost s2,100 to INSTALL 1t
will save $500 a year insurance.
There is another sprinkling system
in the building of the E. W. Stephens
Publishing Company, but it is the wet
system.

An old negro, who for several years
had conducted an Illicit still among
the mountains of Kentucky, was
caught at last by the revenue officers
and brought into court.
What name?" asked the judge
when the frightened negro appeared
before him.
Joshua, Yo' Honah."
"Ah," returned the Judge, Il sup

"No, sah," was the prompt reply,

AMERICAN HOPEFULNESS.

Buoyancy best characterizes the
people of the United States. They live
in hope, they live by hope and such
a spirit counts largely for their op-
timism-
Every person you meet has some
thing to look forward to, something
to plan for and better day he is go
ing to live. The little kiddies are go
ing to grow up to be great, wealthy,
good, wise or all. The old people
see rest or contentment in their work.
The newsboy plans a college edu-
cation. The college man or woman
can spell the future to read in no 9TH
er way but success" The college
presidents confidently hope for great
er appropriations. Lawyers see bet
ter laws, farmers better crops and
better prices, politicians more votes,
pacificists continued peace, the "hobo''
looks forward to spring and the house
wife to added comforts and conven-
fences.
We even hope for the good in every
evil. Each political party hopes that
the blunders of the one in power will
react against the authors of the blum
ders so as to give the other a chance
at "the pork barrel"
II one is truly American he is an
optimist.

A. j. McAIlister and Ben F. from

join in rendering the banquet, and
they have met with a generous re-

battle of the war Lord Kitchener

Officials at a conference on Tuesday.
He told them the army is now of the
required size, but the greatest prob

the situation be met by volunteer en-
listments, but warned them. as things
now are. that recruiting is inadequate
to I'LL the gaps. Kitchener said he
did not want to press conscription
except as a last resort.
Personally, he said. he planned to
divide the country into districts and
ask each to furnish a specified num-
ber Of men. If these are not forth.

will then draft among the eligibles,
as the United States did during the
civil war. This statement deeply i'm

was an announcement Of a vigorouS
campaign to recruit workers. II con-
scription becomes necessary II is
probable the government will start
drafts with the unmarried men be-
tween certain ages.

The human voice had been hurled

nearly every problem involved with
the future development Of telephony.
Again Vail had ordered Carly to ac-

The achievement is fraught with
