Will Demand Fire Protection In Mills,
Factories, Stores, and All Other
Crowded Placet.
Mating bureaus occasionally flail It
necessary to suggest certain Improve- j
menu and the uddlng of approved j
tire protection equipment In mills j
and fuctorles, and in department
stores mid oilier phices where people
work or coiiKrer;:ite. These HUKud
tloiiH ui'e always made, for the pur
pose of Having human life and pro
tecting properly, and rIho with the
Intent of giving due credit for such
Improvements, thereby reducing the
cost of insurance on the plant. Al
though true economy Is subserved by
following these suggestions, which
are Invariably In the Interest of the
owner, despite the Initial cost of such
Improvements, some property main
agers or owners show a spirit of re
sentment and look upon the advice of
the rating bureau as an interference
with their rights of proprietorship.
Apart from Imposing deficiency
charges for the absence of approved
hie protection equipment!), the rating
bureaus have no authority to enforce
the observance of their requirements.
But Is it to be taken for granted that
the matter ends at this point? Does
not the menace to life and property
continue? And is It to be accounted
just and wise that the false ideas of
economy on the part of individual
property owners are to be accepted as
being superior to the welfare and
safety of the entire community? Here
la a point where law makers and the
people either flit or consent to condi
tions which frequently result In cost
ly fires and high Insurance rates, but
which conditions ,the people them
selves will not hesitate to remedy
when the light of full knowledge fin
ally bleaks upon them. Klre Facts.

Another page of life is turned
Relentless lime moves mi,
Soon all in active life must cease
If j'.oial or ill he wmi.
Vr cannot choose the I'-nc'li of lime
As ihrniih life's course we run,
Submissive ton Father's thought
We say, "Thy will be done."
Life to every one is sweet
It's ways of love and peace,
Bring lender memories to the mind
We trust may never cease,
Our loved one "pass," and leave us here
While we in sorrow weep,
We soon like litem intisi "stem the tide"
Through waters dark, and deep.
Sweet solace conies lo hearts made sad
We see our loved ones die,
But when their irusi in Christ is stayed
The find a home on high,
This thought of comfort kindly sent
A cheering ray sublime,
Our darkened pathway brighter made
By love of Christ Divine.
A hidden future for tts lies
Through devious ways we roam,
Kind Father aid Thy children here
To meet around Thy throne.
The "monster" comes when looked for least
Oft finds us not arrayed,
In "wedding garments" all must wear
Or ever be delayed.

Fresh Meats,:
In assuming to write up
oast half century, will state that it is voluntarily done, and entered into
tnropio ,.o a "mniinip " and while errors, and omissions must neces
sarily creep in, 1 feel that a criticizing public will kindly bear the effort
of an old citizen, and extend that sympathy that the weak, and inlii m
always need.
My joltings will be in the form of letters, and will only appear from
time to time as the kind F.diior of our local paper may find space for
insertion.
In the year 1826, in the month of May, school being dismissed from
the old academy which stood on what was then called "College Hill,"
an environment of that quaint old place known as Chestertown. Mil.,
situated on the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay and bordering on
Chester river; a lot of boys were scampering homeward down tne in
cline leading to the village below; one of these boys in his endeavor to
win the race, conceived the idea of seizing on to the tail of a cow, then
grazing by the pathway, and thus accelerating his speed become win
ner, easily reaching home-in advance of all competitors.
From the foregoing incident we get the idea, that timely action, fol
lowing a wise conception, often leads 10 victory.
Delay of a single moment by troops in combat, often causes a turn in
the tide, by which the "day is lost."
At an opportune moment, while the first battle of Manassas was rag
ing in July 1861, Generals Bee and Bartow, commanding South Car
i:n hrimi.w fiiiHino tliMt our trooDS were waverinn, said, "look at
Jackson standing yonder like a stone wall," and one of them hastily
approaching him exclaimed, "General, they are beating us back," the
General turning in his saddle quietly said, "Sir, we'll give them the
bayonet," then instantly the cry of "charge" was heard, and the firey
onslaught that followed, accompanied by the irresistable "Rebel Yell"
brought victory, where defeat a few moments before seemed imminent.
Thus Jackson was named on that bloody field, "Stonewall," a name
that will descend in history until time shall cease, and records be no
more taken.
But my illustrations are leading me in a divergent altitude, and I
must take up the original thought, and follow for awhile the meander
ings of that boy whose successful trip was made as flagman of the fly
ing cow, and who will occasionally as a man figure in these writings.
At Petersburg, Va., a place as old as the lulls, ana as aear to tne
writer as the word home implies, he first saw the light in May, 1848,
and has endeavored so far as morality and manhood goes to follow in
the footsteps of his paternal ancestor, feeling assured thai in such a
course, he may "win the race ihat is set before him" though not in the
same ratio of speed as thai of the flagman above mentioned. The ten
year old boy who succeeded in that afternoon run, by aid of the prim
itive mode already spoken of was my honored father.
Prior in my father's marriage in 1841, and immediately on his re
turn from West Point he entered upon the duties of assistant engineer
under Colonel Walter Gwytin, and helped survey the route from Wel
don. a distance of 162 miles.
This was the initial move in an enterprise which through long years,
now passed and gone, has gradually developed into a grand system of
railways, with scarcely a peer, in our great and prosperous country.
When we think of developments that have followed in the wake of
our forefathers, who set font on our then trackless snores quite juu
years ago, with inadequate protection against Wild bca-ds and uvjki-S
and behold our magnitude today; a vast domain of incalculable wealth
and power, we should turn to the source from whence all help comes,
ami pay homage to whom honor is due.
An unappreciaiive beneficiary is worse than a demon; then as a na
tion we should seek that "preparedness thai would hi us lor the hour
when we must satisfactorily account for the talents entrusted lo our
care by the Master, or be cast into outer darkness.
Does the United States as a people, realize its duty as an evangeliz
ing power, and is it putting forth efforts in that direction commensurate
with its financial strength ? I o whom mucn is given, ana so tortn.
