searchlinhts for Eiremen.

The up-tO-date Cincinnati fireman is
going to be an Illuminating person,
casting light into all the dark places.
The fire department has invested in a
number of high-pOwered searchlights,
made to be strapped to the tiremen's
backs. The device is intended for use
in night work and in places where the
smoke is dense. 1t takes a husky fire
fighter to bear one of the new search
lights, and still do much fire fighting

all; but it throws a 5000 candle power
beam, and will burn for five hours
steadily. The battery is carried on
the back, and the headlight shoots for

USE LANCE BOMB AS CHASER
Britain's Mosquito Fleet Armed With Novel Weapons for Fighting in
 Close Quarters.

The armament of Great Britain's S0-foot "chasers," NILS" they are called, is interesting. Each carries, besides its deck gun, "depth charge,'' six dance bombs" and rifle for each of its ten men.
 The story of the lance bombs goes like this: A British destroyer was once placed in the embarrassing posi- tion of having U-boat bob up right alongside. It was impossible to de- press the guns sufficiently to strafe the stranger, and there was nothing else to strafe him with. What hap pened to the destroyer I can't say. but it must have got away to tell the story, for each boat is now provided with lance bombs for just such emer- gencies. says William Washburn Nut ting in Golfers Weekly.

Napoleon as a Cadet.

When Napoleon was young cadet he went on one occasion to witness the ascent of balloon in the Champ de Mars. He entered, unperceived, the inclosure which contained the balloon
 which was then very nearly full and about to ascend, and requested the aeronaut to allow him to enter the car. The request, however, was re- fused, the reason given being that the feelings of the boy might embarrass the aeronaut.- "Th0ugh l am young fear neither the powers of earth nor of the airl' Bonaparte Is reported to have exclaimed. On being requested to retire, the little cadet, enraged at the refusal, drew his sword, and, slit ting the balloon in several places, de stroyed the apparatus which had been constructed with infinite labor and in- genuity. Such was Napoleon's first and last attempt to ascend ir balloon.

the lemons for her hands, but. the girl persisted in disobeying.
 Opening the iceboX, she counted the lemons in the far corner of the wire shelf. There were only three. Satur- day she had ordered half q dozen, and they had used only one for the mayon- naise. So since Saturday Dora had used two lemons for her hands.
 In the bedroom, with a cloth tied over her broom, Dora was dusting the molding. There was something in her capable, upturned face under the blue dusting cap that checked Helen's in- dignant outburst
 She had promised herself never to speak to Dora when she was irritated, for the girls temper was most inflam- mable, and she was too good maid to lose.
 Hurrying out to answer the bell, Dora returned with the announcement, "It's the man with tho cockroach powder"
 Once month the house sent around insect powder to be sprinkled about the kitchen and pantry of all the apart lnents.
 No, we haven't any reaches" Helen informed him briefly.
 Any waterbugs?'
 ''No, nothing at all."
 That's good" picking up his can of exterminator. "It's the only apart ment in the house that ain't got ono or the other"
 It was a strong tribute to Dora's cleanliness, and Helen, closing the door after him, glanced surprisingly about the kitchen. No other girl had ever kept the range so clean, and the freshly scrubbed shelves and tiled wainscoting were spotless.
 Yet in many little ways Dora was extravagant. She used more gas than any maid they had ever had. Even now she had the largest burner turned on full under the soup-with the lid half off so it would not boil over.
 AS Helen lowered the burner under the soup, again her glance fell on the lemon in the soap dish over the sink No other girl would presume to cut fresh lemon for her hands.
 1t was mistake to let these things go on. Dora was deliberately taking advantage of her leniency. She would speak to her now!
 Then came the thought of a more tactful way. She would give Dora some cold cream and tell her to use that instead of the lemons.
 A hurried search through the medi- cine chest and Helen found an empty yaseline jar into which she spooned a liberal hunk of cold cream.
 Dora" going out to the kitchen where the girl was emptying the sweeper, you don't have to keep soup at hard boil all day. That's how you waste the gas. You use this largest burner for everything! Now I want you to use the other burners, and the

Slmmer-you never use that" Without turning, Dora angrily clat- tered the dustpan and sweeper into the broom closet and banged the door.
 And there's something else I want to speak about" more sharply. irritat- ed by her insolent silence. You're not supposed to use the lemons for your hands. Pm giving you some cold cream-this is what I use"
 You don't do no scrubbin' nor oilin' the fioor," in sullen anger "I've got to have somethin' that'll take the stains off. But I'll not make a fuss over little thing like that" with shrug that was almost contemptuous. 'Fll buy my own lemons" And, turn ing to the sink, she ran the water noisily.
 Flamingly indignant, Helen left the kitchen. She would not let any maid speak to her like that What if she did leave? There were plenty of oth- CT grls-good girls, who were neither insolent nor eXtravagant.
 'Dora," turning back, now reckless of consciences, T can't allow you to speak to me that way. As long as you work here, you must be respect ful.''
 q guess you'd better get another noisy faucet.
 "Very we'll" quietly, though chill tremor gripped her. "When would you like to go, Dora?'
 Tomorrow
 That's all right" with lofty dig nity. T don't want any girl to stay with me who isn't respectful and will i ing to take my orders."
 But it was with a sick sinking at her heart that Helen went into the front room and stood broodingly by the win dow. The thought of a new maid all ways filled her with dread.
 All of Dora's good points came crowding upon her. No one had ever kept the place so clean. No one had ever been so careful of the china-and lsthe laupdry. She pictured her best taBlecloth with scorched streaks from the careless ironing of new maid.
 And just now it was most difficult to get any kind of maid. Only yes terday she had read about the increas- ing shortage of domestic help.
 Why had she spoken about that lemon? What if Dora did use couple of lemons week? It was only few cents. Now she must pay four dollars to an agency for another maid-and one not nearly so competent
 The telephone was welcome inter- ruption to her broodings. Gladly she accepted Mrs. Stevens invitation to go driving, for she longed to get away from the apartment, and to be with some one with whom she could talk it over.
 When, a little later, they were whirling out through the cool rest ful greenness of the park, Mrs. Stevens, with a woman's intense in- terest in any servant trouble, listened sympathetlcally.
 'Oh, well, you can only keep them a certain length of time," was her con- forting theory. "They all grow sullen and dissatisfied after a while. I've never been able to keep any girl over year."
 But Helen could not accept this philosophy The more she thought of Doras leaving, the more depressed she grew.
 "No, can't let her go," desperately. .I'll pocket my pride when 1 get back. and offer her $50 if she'll stay"

You II De very foolish" shrugged Mrs. Stevens. When girl once makes up her mind she wants to go don't try to keep her. She'll never be satisfied-and she'll always take ad- vantage of you afterward."
 As they turned in for tea at a coun- try roadhouse, one of the tires blew out, and the delay was over an hour.
 It was after six when Helen got home. Warren was already there, lounging in his shirt sleeves by the open library window.
 Just met Will Holcomb," he an nounced as she kissed him. "They're in town for couple of weeks, and I asked them for dinner Thursday. That all right? Nothing on for that night, have we?"
 Thursday was the day after tomor- row. Could she get new maid and break her in for company dinner in only one day?
 "Oh, dear, cant you make 1t next week? Is 1t too late to changer
 What's the matter with Thursday? Got to go to Albany next week."
 Just then she had not the courage to say that Dora was leaving. Warren would only flare out about her never being able to keep maid.
 Worried and distraught, she went into her room to dress for dinner. At the door she paused in amazement. The windows were curtainless!
 IInI rt Ix,ifh chi hif1t hope. Did it mean that Dora was go- ing to stay? Last week she had spoken about washing the curtains, but they had not decided on the day. Surely she would not put them to soak if she intended leaving tomorrow!
 Should she speak of it. or not? Dora was very peculiar. If she had chosen this way to imply that she wanted to stay-it might be more tactful to ig- nore it.
 But at dinner Helen's desire to know, to end her suspense, could not be repressed, and as Dora held the dish of string beans at her elbow, she asked with studied carelessness, You put the curtains to soak, Dora? ?"
 "Yes, tomorrow's about the best day. I couldn't do 'em Friday with the sil- ver-and the front rooms to be cleaned Saturday."
 "Yes, perhaps tomorrow will be the best day" controlling the joyous relief in her voice. "I hope it'll be clear so you can hang them out"
 Then as the girl swung through the pantry door, Helen sprang up, darted over to Warren's chair, and kissed him with an eXuberant hug.
 Hold on there" angrily. 'What're you trying to do?' as her strenuous embrace shook morsel of shad from his half-raised fork.
 "Oh, you looked as though you want ed to be kissed!" with irrepressible gaiety, rumpling his closely cropped hair.
 "You sit down and behave yourself ! Whats struck you anyway? as Helen danced back to her chair.
 Warren could not know that this sudden hilarity was due solely to the fact that Dora was going to stay. The dread of new girl lifted from her, Helen felt effervescently care-free.
 Dear. of course we'll have the Hol- combs Thursday! I don't know what I was thinking of-Td love to have them '"
 The glance Warren gave her was strongly suspicious. That something was back of this exuberancy, he knew i; but just then he was more interested in the elimination of shad bones than in an analysis of one of Helen's ever varied and baffiing moods.
