candle shone In a window.
He crawled toward an angle of the
shack, his revolver in his hand. Sud-
denly the door was flung open, and a
bullet hummed past Dicks ear as the
rifle In the doorway rang.
Dicks rush was too quick for the
bandit In an instant the sheriff had
disarmed him. Sancho looked up into
Dicks revolver.
His hands went up automatically.
He scowled at his captor.
Keep them up and walk through
that doorway" said Dick. "If you let
them down I'll drill five holes through
you"
Sancho moved, cursing, toward the
door. Dick followed him. Suddenly
he felt Lina's arms tighten upon his
neck from behind. At the same In
slant Sancho turned and dashed the
weapon from his hand. As Dick strug-
gled In vain coil of rope frightened
about his body. pinioning him. The
outlaw rolled him to the floor and Sc
cured his legs with the end of the
coil.
Sancho picked the sheriff up in his
arms and carried him to the edge of
the stream. He left him there, went
away, and returned shortly with a mall
let and some long iron pegs. Very de-
liberately he hammered them fast into
the sun-baked earth. Then he fastened
Dicks arms and legs to the pegs.
"Good-by till tomorrow" said San
cho mockingly, gazing into Dicks up
turned face.

Paul M. Warburg, head of the Feder-
al Reserve System, is trying hard to
bolster up the Democratic campaign,
but he is so far wrong on some of his
facts that he will soon be discredited.
In speech before the Economic Club,
of New York, recently, he said that
'the United States, in the beginning of
1914 was moving toward the position of
an industrial and financial world
power" Figures of the Department
of Commerce show that in October,
1913, we had a balance of trade in our
favor to the amount of $138,000, 900.
The monthly balance steadily diminish
ed until in April, 1914, the balance was
against us and in August, 1914, the
balance against us was sl9,0O0,000.
War orders turned the tide in our
favor How do you explain yourself,
Mr.. Warbrrg?

HOW TO PREVENT FIRES.

1t is an old maxim that fire is good
servant but hard master.
Shakespeare wrote: "A little fire is
quickly trodden out; which, being
suffered, rivers cannot quench."
Fires are the result of accident, of
spontaneous combustion, and of design.
If they have been accidental the cause
can generally be discovered, and it will
be found they might have been pre-
vented.
If the following precautions are taken
fires from accident or spontaneous COM
bustion will seldom occur:
Keep your house, store, or factory
clean.
Never allow rubbish, such as paper,
rags, cobwebs, old clothing, boxes, ETC.
TO accumulate in closets and unused
rooms.
Never fill your coal oil lamps after
dark or near an open fire.
Never run your stove pipes through
wooden partition or through the roof
without proper protection.
Never allow your furnace, steam or
hot water pipes to come in contact with
wood.
Never put up gas brackets so they
can be swung against the wooden
window castings or against, or i'm
mediately under curtains.
Never put ashes in a wooden re-
ceptacle in or about your premises.
Never keep matches in any but
metal or earthsn safes, and when you
light one never throw it on the floor.
Never allow smoking in proximity to
inflammable merchandise or materials.
Never take an open light to examine
a gas meter or into closet.
Never read in bed by candle or lamp
light.
Never close up your place of business
before going over the entire premises
to see that all fires and light are safe
or extinguished.
Never forget that carelessness and
negligence are the cause of over two.
thirds of all fires.
Never forget to have pals or buckets
and water near at hand for immediate
use in case OF emergency.
Familiarize yourself with the location
of windows and natural escape.
Learn the position of all stairways
particularly the top landing and scuttle
to the roof.
Keep the doors of rooms shut.
Open windows from the top.
Wet a towel, stuff il in the mouth
breath through il instead of nose, so a:
not to inhale smoke.
If room fills with smoke keep close Il
floor and crawl along by the walls t.
the window.
Never go to the roof, unless as a las
resort and you know there is escape t.
adjoining buildings.
Never jump through flames in |
building without covering the heaC
with blanket or heavy clothing.
Never get excited, try to recall tn,
means of exit.

Worry gives the undertaken more

A word to the unwise is also suf-
ficient-if it be the right word.
Don't stretch the truth too far or the
recoil may knock you out.

DISPLAY FLAGS

On June IA will occur Flag Day, and
it is hoped that the people will pay
more attention to the proper observ-
ance of this event. There is little use
made of the United States flag, for no
other reason than that the people for
get that they owe the nation debt Of
gratitude that they can never repay.
1t is time that this forgetfulness should
be eliminated and that due attention be
paid to display of the national colors
upon appropriate occasions. The more
the flag is displayed the more people
will turn their attention toward patriotic
thought and action. The United States
flag is the result of all United States
history, and within its folds is contain
ed not only the history of the nation,
but its destiny as we'll The flag is the
constant reminder of the sacrifices that
were made by the fathers in order that
their ideal of free government might
be realized, and for this reason it is
imperative that every attention be paid
to the national emblem which means so
much to the future generations. When
Flag Day comes everybody should dis
play the national colors in the most
conspicuous way possible, for by so
doing the people will be reminded of
their obligations as citizens and their
duties as patriots. Never forget the
flag, for it is the constant reminder of
the source of the nation and a call to
duty Of the present. People should
show their colors and thereby prove
to the world that commercialism has
not yet succeeded in dulling the
patriotic instincts of the nation.
Girls with the most cheek do the least

The recent election in the second
West Virginia district, in which the
administration took hand, but was de-

about at the capitol and the Democrats
still continue to be very touchy when
the event is mentioned in their pre-
sence.

Sometimes it is useful to get man S
measure as given by his friends. Speak
ing of Democratic Senators and Con-
gressmen who are just now standing
with the President upon certain issues,
though they differed from him on other
issues last year Mr. Bryan says that
they "want to be reelected and re-
gard Wilson's coat-tails as very handy
thing to grab hold of this year. :"
Presumably, Mr.. Bryan wants these
men elected, for they are good Demo-
Gratis, but it won't help them much at
home to have him place this estimate
upon them. Every Democratic Senator
and Congressman who tries to drag in
on the Wilson coat-tails will very likely
have this remark of Bryan's thrown at
him in the campaign.
