THIS MEANS YOU, IF YOU OWE US.

We have moved into new quarters and have necessarily
gone to quite a deal of extra expense. We have bought Limo
type machine and some new machinery which is making heavy
demands upon our finances, w are therefore necessarily COM
PEELED to be urgent in asking those who owe this office to pay
UP, and pay NOW. We have mailed statements to quite a num-
her from whom we have had no favorable response and we
hope that these will not force US to be more personal and more
urgent in this request. We cannot pay those whom we owe if
we do not collect from others, and the birds sing pay the
banks". Many of the amounts due us are small but manv lit
tes make a heap, and we want each and all who owe US and
who read this to understand that W. mean YOU.

Sincerity In Art.

Only an honest book can live; only
absolute sincerity can stand the test
of time. Any selfish or secondary mo-
tive vitiates a work OF art, as it viii
ates a religious life. Indeed, doubt
if we fully appreciate the literary
value OF the stable. fundamental hui
man virtues and qualities probity, di-
rectness, simplicity, sincerity, love.
There are just as much room and need
for the exercise of these qualities In
the making of book as in the build
ing Of a house or in business career.
How conspicuous they are in all the
enduring books-in Bunyan, in Walton,
in Defoe, in the Bible! 1t is they that
keep alive such q book as 1.-TWO Years
Before the Mast which Stevenson
pronounced the best sea story in the
language, as it undoubtedly is.-John
Burroughs.

FROZEN HYDRANT
STORY IS DENIED
BY fire MARSHAL
Chief johnson Refutes
Brewers Story That De-
partment Was Impeded.

Chief Edward johnson of the fire
department denied today that it was
necessary to build fires around the
hydrants in the vicinity of the Home
Brewing Co. plant in Hallam street
in order to get water for the fire to
put out the fire there yesterday morn
ing.
THAT story is an injustice to Hy-
drant Inspector Frank Noonan, who
is hard working, painstaking and con-
scientious," said Chief johnson. cit
is also untrue that there was trouble
or quarre1ing among the firemen. The
first company at the fire got a, stream
on the fire at once. The second COM
pany got busy likewise and there was
no confusion or quareling. AS for
thawing out hydrants by building
fires, it can't be done. If a hydrant is
frozen the ice will be way below the
street line and fire on the surface
couldn't reach it,
Officials of the Home Brewing Co.
were authority for the statement that
the fremen had found the hydrants
frozen and made attempts to thaw
them.
Although the damage to the bot
Ting department where the fire took
place, has been estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000, President Sigmund
Loewith of the company said today
that the exact damages had not yet
been estimated. He said the bottling
business would be carried on as usual
and that repairs would be made as
soon as possible. Mr.. Loewith said
he thought the fire was caused by
faulty electric wiring. He thinks the
fire had gained much Roadway before
it was discovered.
President John A. Leonard of the
fire board said today he had not given
thought to the matter Of investi-
CATION of the report that the hydrants
were frozen. He said the board had
every confidence in Chief Engineer
johnson, who is also fire marshal, and
would await the report of the chief
before taking any action.

Much the simpIer Plan.

Mr.. Newedd-WeI, we are beginning
housekeeping. and l presume the SIM
plest plan will be for me to give you a
regular amount every week for ex-
penses. Just figure up what it will
cost
Mrs Newedd-I could never do that
in the world-so many things to count
you know-but let me see. Oh, have
it! 1 have thought of a much simpler
plan.

for car fare and lunches and give me
the rest"-New York Weekly.

Leanina Treason.

King. William Ill of England was
passionately fond OF the chase and
made it a point never to be outdone
in any leap, however perilous. A Mr..
Cherry, who was devoted to the ex-
led Stuarts, took advantage of this
to plan the most remarkable design
which was ever formed against a
kings Hfee He regularly Joined the
royal hounds, put himself foremost
and took the most desperate leaps in
the hope that William might break
his neck in following him. One day,
however. he accomplished one so i'm
minently dangerous that the king when
he came to the spot shook his head
and drew back. 1t is said that Mr.
Cherry at length broke his own neck
and thereby relieved the king from
further hazard.

"a NaturaIiat Painted.

If I were to paint the short days Of

One Misery of AnsIo-Indian Life.

Every night at dinner the Anglo-Tn-
dian holds kind of levee The in
sects which attend dance gay1y round
the lamp, and one has to watch ones
plate and glass carefully lest some of
the insects should dance into them.
There is one insect--a little, nat, brown.
shining creature--which emits1 the
worst odor in the world. If one of
these touches your food the whole is
tainted and rendered tnedible. You
dare not kill these pests, for If one be
squashed the whole room becomes I'LL
ed with it's disgusting smell and is
uninhabitable for the next half hour.
So these abominable insects fly about
with inpunity. while the poor Anglo
Indian must perforce look helplessly
on and inwardIy sigh "spero meliora.' %

Saved the Scene.

John GaIsworthy, the English play
wright, tells OF the wit of an actor
named Littledale, who in one play had
to leap int a river TO escape a wild
beast.
1.-The stage was so arranged that the
river was invisible, Littledaless leap
usually ended on a soft mattress in
the wings, while a rock was dropped
into a tub Of water to create a splash.
Everything went on an right at re-
hearSal, and the night Of actual per-
Torrance came. When poor Littledale
jumped he fell eight feet and landed
on an oaken floor with a crash.
1.-THE audience set up a litter. But
the heroic LAttledaIe was quite equal
to the occasion. Heavens he shout

VIEWS OF
Worlds War
FRENCH

Paris, March 1O-The text of the
announcement given out by the
French war office this afternoon reads
as follows:
'In the Argonne district our artil-
Iery has Tbombarded certain conveys
of the enemy moving along the road
from Montfaucon to Avocourt.
There has been NO change in the
situation to the west or east of the
river Mouse. The night passed with
out the enemy making any infantry
attack against our positions. The
bombardment, however, has contin-
ued. both sides taking part along our
front. 1t has been violent on the
left and on the right banks of the
river Mouse and intermittent in the
Woevre district.
f'In Alsace our batteries have de-
m olished the German trenches at Hill
Thanh. The night passed quietly
ON the remainder of the front.
During the day of March 8, French
aviators showed themselves particu-
Iarly active French airmen deliver
ed number Of attacks most of
them over the lines of the enemy.
During one of these engagements at
Eriennes, Is German airmen were
forced to flee. Later 10 of them
were seen to descend vertically in the
direction of their own lines.
I'm addition to this information
has been received that two German
aviators, one in a Fokker Machine,
were overcome in the Champagne
in the region of Verdun. The ma
chimes of these five aviators came
