Slightly Burned.

The new Harter-Buic;i show rooms

between Main and Blondeau streets
was damaged by fire which broke out
at LAS o'clock Saturday night
Three automobiles, one big truck
and touring car belonging to
Chris Thompson and car belonging
to the garage were slightly dam
aged A number of other cars in
the garage at the time were not hurt
as the fire was confined to the hos
pital or repair room, where these
three cars stood.
The origin of the blaze is not
known. The night man at the garage
was outside the building eating a
lunch, when the fire was discovered,
and the alarm turned in. The de-
partment kept the blaze confined to
the one room for the most part, al
though it was difficult lighting be-
cause of the Roadway it had gotten

Damage is Not Great.
The walls and WOODWORK IN tne

felt in the adjoining room where
there were line of cars, which were
Immediately taken out by the garage
men, The blaze spread to one corner
of this room, but was checked before
moving further The damage to the
cars is estimated at one hundred dol
lars each for the three, according to
DR.. w. J. Harter. manager OF the
station. He was unable to state what
he thought the damage 10 the build

who saw it estimated 1t at $4,000 all
told. The building ana cars are
covered by insurance.
No one seems to know how the fire
started, especially as there is no
gasoline or Oil In the building. The
front part of the building was not
touched by the fire. This is where
the show rooms and stock rooms are,
There were no new cars m the stock
room, but a considerable amount of
fixtures and appliances were in these
rooms.
The fire department was at the
blaze for little less than TWO hours.

RooseVeit's Talk.
Theodore Roosevelt told the Iowa
branch of the American Legion what
the legion is doing, and what might
come before it for action.
He warned the legion from plung-
ing into any movement without seri-
GUS consideration, urged thorough
study of all matters before the gov
eminent for settlement, and close
watch on those in Office.
The people are looking to the
legion. The legion is powerful, and
the people recognize it's power. But
because we have power we also have
responsibilities.
Because we have power we are
urged TO support many and various
strange things. We are asked to en-
dorse prohibition and are asked to
endorse anti.prohibition. We have
been asked to endorse the Irish re-
public and have been asked to op-
pose the Irish republic We must
not allow ourselves to be led hurried
ly into any Of our actions"

Early Telephones.

The principle of The telephone has
been known for many years, the first
idea of it in modern DAYS being ex-
planned III a book published in l6O9.
Hook commenced to study the sub
iect in 1861 and in 1861 he succeeded
in Transmitting sound by means of .
distended wire Wheatstone exper-
imented in 1921 and succeeded in con-
yeying the sounds of a musical box
from cellar to attic of his home. In
1861 an instrument called the tele-
phone was invented, which telegraphed
musical sounds by means of rod Of
soft iron in a coil of wire through
which Il current was sent. The re

count Of this Instrument. though or

resemble the sound of a toy trumpet.
However. experiment after experiment
was made by different scientists, until
finally Professor Bell invented the
system which with changes is that
used today.

dreds of years Urk has been on the
defensive, with the Zuyder zee stead
lily gaining ground. For while the

island by constantly breaking through
it's dykes, but recently it has resorted
to deadlier form of warfare. It is

George Eliot and Her Heroines.

To each Of George Eliot's heroines
she gave a daily companion-usually
sister or cousin-who is plainly intend
ed TO serve as a foil. These foils are
all of the ordinary type, with dull in
tellects and selfish hearts; but they
remain wholly unconscious of limita-
tons in themselves. Discerning no
good beyond worldly advancement and
no use for any faculties save those of
the practical managing sort they are
convinced of their efficiency and good
sense. Always pretty and attractive
they represent the Philistine in the
bud For narrow natures like theirs
the social world exists.
