prIsing Effect.

He sat all bumped up on bench in
waiting room at the Union depot, in
Chicago. He was rather shabDily
dressed, tired and detected. Soon there
came a couple with an infant h'.d the
baby was hot and cross. Cry after
cry rent the air, and people began to
frown and make remarks about noisy
children, pests and the like. The
couple sat near the tired-looking man.
Finally he touched the father on the
arm.
''Let me take him." he said.
A smile told the father no harm
would come to the offspring and the
baby was placed in the strangers
arms.
"Now, Tommy" he said, in a gen.
tie tone, "we'ze goin' to be reg'lar
feller an top our noise, amt we,
Tommy"
Ae petted the youngster and cooed
to 1t and in five minutes the wall had
ceased. The crowd grinned.
"Much obliged" said the father, as
the stranger returned the child. "But, "
he added, "his name amt Tommy"
A far-away look came into the
strangers eyes and mingled with just
a touch of that form Of moisture
known as suspicious"
Mines was" he said. And then he
settled down again, all bumped up.

SUGGESTIONS TO PREVENT
FIRES AND SAVE PROPERTY

Columbia, Sept. 22.-HeJp to re-
duce the shingle roof fires by adVis-
ing the people at this season OF the
year, that they should put piece OF
old sheet zinc or an old discarded dry
cell battery in their fire places and
stoves. The fumes from this will rid
the chimneys OF SCOT and save money
and houses.
Help prevent fires by urging peo-
pie to rid their cellars, garrets and
premises of trash. Have no greasy
rags about the house to start spon-
taneous combustion fires. Do not
put ashes of any kind in wooden box
.s Replace weathered shingles with
tin or some non-combustible roof and
see that their electrical wiring has not
the insulation worn off and is in good
order.
Help save the property Of the peo-
rle This may not reduce insurance
rates but it will save loss to many
citizens.
Very truly,
