From Defendant to
 Capitalist Via
 Court and w. $. s.

It was the luckiest day of Dave Broderick's life when, on a disturb ance of the peace charge, he was haled before Justice Piper in the Niagara Falls. N Y. police court and sentenced to pay SIP weekly for six months.
 Dave looked aghast and said it simply "could not be did,"
 "All right" said the judge, "six months on the rock pile for yours, '' and he adjusted his spectacles, dip ped his pen in ink and started to write.
 Davie, the defendant, did some tall thinking and he did it quickly "Six months at the works" he ruminated, land not a cent of pay! And this old buy SIP worth of War Saving stamps every week for six months-26 weeks. That guy was right-life is just one darn thing after another. But I reckon it is best to lose $12 per week than $50.
 So Dave halted the court.
 "All right, yer honor, give up.' 'Ill by War Savings stamps.
 Judge Piper smiled grimly when he outlined the process which re- quired that payments be made promptly, failure of which meant the work and when final payment was made, Dave was to get w. s. s. for the full amount he had paid in. When the six months had elapsed, Dave again said, "good morning" to the judge. But this time he entered a voluntary appearance. Judge, yer honor," said Dave, no longer defendant, "you sure did me a favor when you sentenced me to pay that SIP per week. did not be- lieve I could save a dollar week. But I got through and now l see I have enough to make first payment on the home that me and the old woman have wanted ever since we were married. And now 1 sentence myself to buy $10 week of the same War Savings stamps until we get the house paid for"
 Police judges in other cities are trying out Judge Piper's plan and it is found workable everywhere.

SINGULAR FIRE.

A remarkable fire occurred at De Queen, Ark. that illustrates the truth often reiterated, that practical ly all fires are due to some form of carelessness. The singular thing about, this fire, was in the escape from serious results. If the house had burned down the origin of the blaze might never have been dis covered. The De Queen Bee gives the following account of the happen ing:
 "A singular fire occurred at the home of M. A. Nichols last Thursday night.
 ''Mr. Nichols returned home after the rest of the family had retired. He tried to turn on the light in an upstairs room in which his little daughter was sleeping. As the light didn't appear, he concluded that something was out of order. As a matter of fact the wire was connect ed with an iron resting on an iron ing board. The family awakened in the morning to discover that the iron had burned hole thru the ironing board, then thru the floor to the room below. Upon going upstairs it was found that sewing machine setting near the ironing board had been consumed by smouldering fire.
 "The child sleeping in the room was undisturbed and uninjured.

Prince of Wales Proving Himself
 Regular Fellow

London, July 1.-(Correspondence strewed with flowers the path of the Prince of Wales and bombarded his automobile with roses when he visit ed recently the coal mining regions of South Wales and went down into d mine. The prince scored with the coal miners ot Rhondda valley by telling them that it was not his fault that It was his first visit and that his absence was due to the war.
 On his way to the mine he sur prised one woman by asking to see her house and garden. He stopped his car when another woman held up her baby to give him rose.
 Arriving at Cwymmer pit, the prince donned the cap and overalls of miner, and gratefully accepted from the foreman silver safety lamp, the gift of the management. MlGers ana their families crowded around him, and cheered while the prince waited for the cage to rise from the depths of the shaft.
 Suddenly there was heard the sound of singing apparently from the bowles of the earth. The cage came in view bringing a small party of miners, black with coal-dust, straight from the toll of the pit and singing a Welsh anthem.
 When the singing stopped the prince and his official guides then stepped into the cage and, swiftly but very carefully, were lowered into the mine.
 At the bottom of the shaft some one had written. on bank timber with white chalk, Welcome to our soldier prince" The prince was manifestly pleased and asking for chalk wrote beside it "Thank you" and signed it Edward P"
 Then they took hi mthrough the mines, showed him the ventilation system which guards the lives of the hundreds of men and boys while they work, showed him the working faces" where miners were digging coal, and explained to him some of the difficulties attending the under ground life of the toilers.
 ] He insisted on trying it himself, and taking the pick handed to him l by grimy old miner, struck a few /, vigorous blows. Later, while thank ing the people for his reception, he said he could appreciate the strenu- ous character of miners work.
