F0UR-lN-HAND TIES.
An Easy Way to Iron Thorn After They
Have Been Washed.


It is not an impossible task to wash
four-in-hand tie. The difficulty comes
in ironing it in such a way that it's
original shape will be restored, writes
Emile Parent In the Popular Science
Monthly.
To do this it is necessary to proceed
carefully. Start by placing the wide
end Of the tie upon the board with the
seam up, then thrust In the finger and
take hold Of the lining. Grasp the silk
cover in the other hand and pull 1t
back from over the lining for about
half Of its length. Then with hot
iron run over tho lining to straighten
IL out.
Cut u piece OF stiff cardboard to lit
into the wide end Of the tie and long
enough to reach to the narrow band.
Slip this in between the lining and the
seam side of the outer layer. Then
turn the material back In proper shape.
dampcn clean cloth, lay 1t over the
tie and iron in the usual way.
The cardboard form will prevent the
pressure Of the iron from causing a
glossy mark to appear on the silk
front opposite the seam. When through
put the form aside FOR another time.

FOREST FIRES.
There Are Three Kinds, Of Which the
"Crown" Fire 10 the Worst.

"CroWn" Fire 10 the Worst.
There are three kinds Of forest fires
the surface fire." which merely runs
In the leaves. and ground litter; the
ground fire." that covers the under
brush Of the dense forests, and the
Grown fire." the most dangerous and
terrifying of ALL A crown fire is usu-
ally caused when the ground or surface
fire reaches the top Of a ridge or knoll,
and the increased draft carries the
blaze up the trunks Of the trees to the
tops of the crowns" 1t is the crown
fires which have made the great forest
fires of history. rt
Surrounding the burning area by
trench from which everything down to
the mineral soil has been removed is the
only kind of fire line which will stop
a ground fire, and 1t will often stop
surface fire. For surface fire whip
ping" or using brush branches or water
soaked sacking to whip the burning
leaves at the edge Of the fire back into
the burned area is most effective. Sand
as well as water is valuable in fighting
this kind Of fire too.
There is only one way to fight
crown fre-that is, by "backfring"-
fighting fire with fire. This method is
extremely dangerous, consisting Of set
ting counter fire far enough from the
main body Of the original fire so that
all infammable material will be burn
ed by the time the fire reaches that
point, and the fire will die from lack
of material to feed on. The backfire Is
set far enough from the main fire to
escape the draft which Is tanning the

him "United States" was scarcely a
reality. Yet he had been fed by unit
ed States" for all the years since he
had been in the army. He had sworn
on his faith as Christian to be true to
united States" 1t was "United
States" which gave him the uniform he
wore, and the sword by his side. Nay,
my poor Nolan, 1t was only because
"United States" had picked you out
first as one Of her own confidential
men of honor, that "a. Burr" cared
for you a straw more than for the fiat
boat men who sailed his ark for him.
I do not excuse Nolan; I only explain
to the reader why he damned his coun-
try, and wished he might never hear
her name again.
He never did hear her name but once
again. From that moment, Septem-
Der %, 1907, till the day he died, May

again. For that half century and

an attorney seeking a place for his
Office, but as a disguised conqueror.
He had defeated know not how many
district attorneys; he had dined at
know not how many public dinners; he
had been heralded in / know not how
many Weekly Arguses; and 1t was ru-
mored that he had an army behind him
and an empire before him. 1t was a
great day-his arrival-to poor Nolan.
Burr had not been at the fort an hour
before he sent for him. That evening
he asked Nolan to take him out In his
skiff, to show him cane-brake or a
cottonwood tree, as he said, really to
seduce him; and by the time the sail
was over, Nolan was enlisted body and
soul. From that time, though he did
not yet know 1t, he lived as "a Man
without Country"
What Burr meant to do I know no
more than you, dear reader. 1t is none
Of our business just now. Only, when
the grand catastrophe came, and JEFF
ferson and the House of Virginia of
that day undertook to- break on the
wheel all the possible Clarences Of the
then House Of York, by the great
treason trial at Richmond, some Of the
lesser fry in that distant Mississippi
valley, which was farther from us than
Puget Sound Is today, introduced the
like novelty on their provincial stage,
and, to while away the mOnotony Of
the summer at Fort Adams, got up, for
spectacles, string of court-martials
on the officers there. One and anoth-
er of the colonies and majors were
tried, and, to fill out the list, little No
Ian, against whom, heaven knows,
there was evidence enough, that he
was sick of the service, had been will
ing to be false to 1t, and would have
obeyed any order to march anywhither
with anyone who would follow him,
had the order only been signed, "By
command of His Exc. A. Burr" The
courts dragged on. The big flies es-
was proved guilty enough, as I say |;
yet you and I would never have heard
Of him, reader, but that, when the
president of the court asked him at the
close, whether he wished to say any
thing to show that he had always been
faithful to the United States, he cried
out, in fit Of frenzy:
Oh the United States! wish
I may never hear of the United States
again."
MJl suppose he did not know bpwsthe
wordsb shocked qeld u Colanel Morgan,
who was holding the court. Half the
officers who sat in it had served
through the Revolution, and their
lives, not to say their necks, had been
risked for the very idea which he so
cavalierly cursed in his madness. He,
on his part, had grown up in the West
of those days, In the midst Of Spanish
plot" "Orleans plot" and all the rest.
His education, such as 1t was, had
been perfected in commercial expedi-
lions to Vera Cruz, and think he told
me his father once hired an English
man to be private tutor for a winter
on the plantation. He had spent half
his youth with an older brother, hunt
ing horses in Texas; and, in word, to
