buildings destroyed were a milk sta

O'Brien and a storehouse and dwell
ing owned by Michael Gellan. The
first building that was caught went
up in a blnze and as there are no
fireflghtlng facilities, the contents of
the surrounding buildings were re
moved as quickly as possible by the
owners and neighbors, who volun
teered their services. The four

A High Priced Fricassee.
Lord Alranley, a noted wit and high
liver In England a hundred years or so
ago, Insisted on having an npple tart on
his dinner tablo every day throughout
the year. On ono occasion bo paid a
caterer $1,000 for a luncheon put up In
a basket that sufficed a small boating
party going up the Thames. Being
ono of a dozen men (lining together at
a London club where each was re
quired to produce bis own dish, Alvan
ley's, as tho most expensive, won him
the ndvantage of being entertained
free of cost. This benefit was gained
nt an expense of $540, that being the
price of a simple- fricassee composed
entirely of tho "nolx," or small pieces
at each side of the back, taken from
thirteen kinds of birds, among them
being 100 snipe, 40 woodcocks and 20
pheasants In all about 300 birds.
Our Eccentrlo Phrases.
Why do wo always talk of putting
on a coat and vest? Who puts on a
coat before a vest? Wo also say put
ting on shoes and stockings. Who
puts on shoes beforo tho Btocklng3?
We also put up signs telling people to
wipe their feet when wo mean their
boots or Bhoes. And a father tells a
boy he will warm his Jacket when he
means to warm his pantaloons. Wo
are a little eccentric In our phrases at
times.
An Odd Epitaph.
The following epitaph la to bo found
in a cemetery within seven miles of
Now York's city hall:
Reader, pass on; don't waste your time
O'er bad biography and bitter rhyme.
For what I am this crumbling clay In
Buroa, And what I was la no affair of yours.
In the Game.
"I am In tho hands of my friends,"
said tho political sldcstcppcr.
"Yes," replied tho harsh critic, "and
every tlmo your friends look over their
hands they seem impatient for a new
deal." Washlntrton Stnr.

PKNKOSI3 SAYS G. O. 1. WINS.
Expects Tcner Will Get Tlicro Hand"
soniply, Also Republican Con
gressmen. United Stntes Senntor Boise Pen
rose snys tho Republicans will ;
sweep Pcnnsylvnnln this fall, elect
ing not only tho stnte ticket but re
taining tho present strength In Con
gress. In an Intcrvlow at Atlantic
City to a representative of the Phil
adelphia Press tho Senator spoko
emphatically on tho situation. He
called attention to the splendid ad
ministration of Gov. Edwin S.
Stunrt nnd gavo his reasons
forecasting Republican victory.
He Bald:
"if my advice Is followed
for
the
same open, squnre, manly fight that
Is to be made In Pennsylvania for
tho president will bo made In every
Congressional district in tho union.
I toll you tho people aro with Taft.
They are beginning to appreciate
his breadth, his sanity, his useful
ness. The dnys of the obstruction
ists aro nearly ended. I am afraid
that Senator Beverldgo will lose his
sent in Indiana as one effect of his
opposition to the president. Others
who have ndoptcd similar tactics
are likely to meet n similar fnte.
"Returning to Pennsylvania, I
predict that John K. Tener will
prove to bo n powerful candidate,
and an admirable governor. Ho has
breadth of view and character, a
kindly nnturo nnd great executive
ability. Ho has Ideas that aro note
worthy, nnd his Republicanism Is of
the old-fashioned, rock-ribbed var
iety. Ho will tour tho state, and I
predict that he will not back awny
from any discussion of the tariff,
of the Taft administration nor of
the administration of state affairs
given by tho Republican party under
Gov. Stuart.
"I don't care to talk of the third
party movement until it shall crystal
lize into something more than talk.
When I return from my Western
trip in September I may have some
thing to say about It, about the men
who compose it and their motives."
"What about the alleged move
ment to defeat representatives who
voted with Speaker Cannon?"
"Nothing will come of it. They
voted right, and their action needs
no d6fense. When tho , American
public understands, as It will under
stand some day, tho outrageous per
secution to which that great old Re
publican has been subjected by
splenetic muckrakers. It will take Its
revenge on the conspirators.
"I want the people of Pennsylva
nia to scrutinize the records of the
Taft administration In the nation and
the Stuart administration in the
state. I want them to study the
new tariff and to make their own
observations and to form their own
opinions concerning conditions in
the nation and In Pennsylvania. If
this shall be done, I have no fear
of the result.
"Pessimism is a contngious dis
ease. Prosperity is its antidote.
All signs point to the effective check
of the malady. There has been so
much misrepresentation that, natur
ally, many believe the false pro
phets. The approaching campaign
will give an opportunity to show up
tho detractors In their true colors.
This will be done in a fair discussion
of everything for which the Repub
lican party stands, and I anticipate
that Pennsylvania will lead the coun
try In just that kind of discussion."
The Salt Charm Failed.
Some three years beforo tho Franco
German war broke out Count Secfeen-
dorff accompanied King William I. on
I his visit to Napoleon IIL nnd was
present nt the celebrated dejeuner giv
I en In tho Pavilion do DIano at Fon-
talnebleau. King William, who was
Bitting next tho empress, was asked
by her to pass the salt, and in comply
ing with this request he threw a llttlo
Bait over his shoulder. Upon the em
press exclaiming, "Why do you do
that?", tho king explained that in his
country it was tho custom to do so
when passing tho salt to ward off bad
luck and any chance of a quarrel. Tho
empress in a prettily turned speech nt
once replied, "But surely thero Is no
danger of anything Interfering with
our friendship." In less than threo
years tho Germans had crossed tho
Rhine. London Spectator.

Do Stylo You say that loving pair
of deaf mutes were sitting In tho parlor
nnd didn't carry on a conversation?

According to One of Them They Were
Just a Lot of Boys.
"It makes me laugh," says an old
miner, "to boo the sort of pictures
thnt artists draw when they want to
Illustrate a story of early mining dnys
in California. They ninko tho 'Forty
nlncrs old men, benrded and wrinkled
and dressed like dime novel heroes.
"Why, wo were Just hoy, most of
us, nnd trousers patched with flour
sacks were more common than red
sashes and fancy buttoned coats. I
remember wo pnld $30 a pair for
heavy cowhldo boots to wear in tho
ground sluices thnt was beforo rub
ber boots camo along.
"The oldest man in camp hero In
Weavorvllle was short of thirty, but
we called him 'the old man,' and ono
of my pardners never had any nnmu
but 'Empire .Mills,' because that was
the brand on tho flour sack he hap
pened to resent his breeches with.
"Wo were Just a lot of rip roaring
young farmer boys turned loose in a
country where we expected to shovel
up gold like corn at home. We didn't
think it wns a whlto man's country
anyway. Every one of us expected
to wash out a peck measure of nug
gets nnd go back home. We used to
say that tho beat thing Uncle Sam
could do wab to dig out all the gold
and give the country back to the
Moxicans.
"Some of us had Peen lively times
getting across the plains. I had walked
most of the way myself nnd dodged
Indians and Mormons; the Saints had
It In for me nnd n lot more of tho
Gentiles and they would have paid us
off In lead if they could have got tho
chance. I got to California In tlmo
to be a 'Forty-niner, and In May of '50
I was camped down below town on
Weaver creek with three pardners."
Human Inequality.
There Is a notion, and a nio3t per
nicious ono, thnt It is the highest
realization of republican form of gov
ernment that all tho people should
by some forcing process be made as
much alike as possible. All human
beings are born equal only in the sin
gle fact that they all come Into the
world by the same natural process.
Tho same equality exists In the mat
ter of death, since what we call life la
extinguished for all under the self
same conditions. But that is all the
equality that is possible, for human
beings are all unlike and unequal In
bodily and mental characteristics,
and to such an extent does this lack
of equality go that It Is seen In tho
peculiarities of every individual.
