About 7 o'clock Wednesday morning the home of Charles A. Sulenes with all its contents wa-s destroyed by fire. The house was located in the Merriam addition. Mr. Sulenes is saw filer at the Lamb- Davis Lumber Co.'s planning mill. He got up at the asual hour and after eat ing his breakfast he put a boiler of wa ter on the stove and filled the stove with wood, his wife intending to do some washing. After he left Mrs. Sul enes lay down on a bed in an adjoining room to the kitchen where a baby four months old lay, and dropped off to sleep. The supposition is that the fire started from a stove pipe which runs thru the roof. The tire was discovered by nabors who broke the door down ami aroused Mrs. Sulenes, who grasped the baby in her arms ami rushed thru the burning room. Mrs. Sulenes was very severely burned about tbe hands, feet and face. The baby was also slightly burned. Both will recover. The little eighreen months old girl, it appears tried to get o.ut and fell in the kitchen, overcome with the heat and smoke. A rescuer whose name we have not learned rushed into the burning building and grasped the little girl by the foot and dragged her out. She la so badly burned, however, that recov ery is very improbable. Mr. Sulenes is a sober and indus trious citizen who has the sympathy of the entire community in his affliction. We have just learned that the soul of little Ethel Sulenes took its flight at 6:30 on the day that she was so frightfully burned. The funeral will take place this afternoon. l».«m From Lockjaw never follows an injury dressed with Buckleu's Arnica Salve. Its antiseptic and healing properties prevent blood poisoning. Chas.

Bullfights, prize fights, dog fights and even some stage per formances belong In the same classlfl- cation. Possibly the great majority of Americans are not for any of these spectacles. But we do not bear of them so much. A $200 fine for selling a fire cent package of cocaine to a "fiend" might seem to some tender hearted people as harsh, but there are many cases when a fine ten times as hear? would not It the crime.

K*t Sensibly and Live Well. Mrs. Grundy's dictum that It is rude to "suttt" at table Is quoted In a long article on eating by Dr. Wood Hutchln •oii In McClure's, the tenor of which U that we should eat what Is set before us. The writer saya that the person who Is continually anxious whether certain food is going to agree with him to a dyspeptic and Is going to remain so. To quote: It Is not even well for us to consider 100 nicely the amounts of water or food taken or whether It is digestible ur not. The really healthy stomach ought to be and Is capable of disposing of not only the digestible and the difficult of diges tion, but the Indigestible. Any other kind Of a stomach Is not worth having, and that Is the standard to which we physl. ■lane are now training our dyspeptic pa tlenU. The stomach which will melt down and ÜBe up anything in reason that la given to 11 Is the only kind fitted to survive. Stomachs can be "pampered" Just as easily by relieving them from the necessity of taking difficult foods as by overloading them. Personally I have met with almost as many dyspepsias due to the former as to the latter. The stomach, like any other Instrument, should be kipt up to concert pitch. It should not be al lowed to shirk Its responsibilities or to be humored too much. This, of course. Is by no means to discourage intelligent dis crimination In the choice of food. The doctor sets out to combat certain popular delusions among Americans in the matter of food, but appears to hedge on every radical proposition he puts forth, For instance, he tacks on to the foregoing the caution that some perfectly wholesome foods are literal poisons to some stomachs and had bet ter be avoided. That is a truism most people have learned by experience, and that Is- why there remains sniffing at the table for the Gruudys to carp orer. The human Instinct and sense of smell are safeguards against "spoil ing" or putrefaction in food, and Dr. Hutchlnßou says we have only to "ful low our noses" If we would escape ptomaine poisoning. Here is the whole thing In a nutshell—that the "burnt child dreads the tire" aud the wise stomach balks at its particular poison. But In the main Dr. Hutchinson's advice Is timely. People have run after new foods who were dolim \ cry well on the old. This line of thought leads him to land hard on the brown bread theory and \>> insist that t!,t> whitest of wheat bread is the projtef food for man. This is not home out by European ex|>erlence. however, for the peasants, whose health and Btrea ;!< we envy, seldom taste of wheat Urea i until they come here and if they st)ek to It as a steady diet h. this country soon show Its bad effects. Ami it may be observed that If snitfiug at talilr Is not a European trait it is 1 .me the sniffing aud the exclusion have i, , done before the dishes come to '.ue ta ble. Axioms as to what to Mt nod what to let ulone are drilled Into H» young mind with the alphabet, and if everybody can eat of everything on the table It means that uothin-' Uai been put there but Just what suits the hour of the day and the needs of the stomachs to lie fed.

Tbe season for ;i■isimioiiiie "sport" opened with a mosi distressing acci dent In a suburb of New York, ivmiK lug In the death of two venerable wo men on their way to church. A youth of twenty handled Uie machine, and Uie owner ordered hint to hurry from the spot without offering help, evidence that the responsible parries were untlt to be at large with tbe power to do mischief. The father ol the owner of the auto In this ease promptly declared that the fatal accident was "due to an lusaue desire (or speed." Desire for speed and nothing else | causes about all the accident! in which iUtos are involved, whether tbe vic tims are inside of or under the ma chine. This particular accident occur | red on a down grade curve under a bridge, where there were double trol ley tracks, and for their own safety as well as for pedestrians on the course the autoists should have been extreme ly cautious instead of extremely reck less. A dealli curve in tbe road in uot a place for sport. Autoists Incapable of restraining their desire for a sport- Ing pace under circumstances like those should be dealt with sharply by the law. They laugh &X 7^?s as part of the price of "sport." » tprlsomnent should be added to the .-^s, and loss of license for the driver Should be the penalty for Ignoring the speed limit or other regulations for safety, and the charge of manslaughter should face the aatolst who puts human life In peril on the highway by the brainless direc tion of the swiftly moving machine. Cuba's Last "Tyrant." A Madrid dispatch announcing the death of General Blanco, Spain's last governor general In Cuba, recalled a name very familiar to Americans eight years ago. Early in 1808 the Spanish government awoke to the fact that the atrocities of the butcher Wey ler were certain to bring the United States to the aid of the Cuban revolu tionists, and Blanco came over to re verse Weyler's policy. At that time Blanco was sixty-five years of age and not at all aggressive. He had made a record In Cuba at the close of the first Cuban insurrection and also In the Philippines during the early days of I the Insurrection which drew our fleet to Manila bay. But for the blowing up of the United States battleship Maine In Havana harbor probably there would have been do American war, and Blanco would have left behind him In Cuba the record of a great pacificator. At least such was the programme which brought him to Cuba. He had even been called upon to defend himself In Madrid against the charge of too great leniency toward the Filipinos In 1894 --9fl. although he showed that over a thousnud reliels had been banished from th.- inlands during his term and many leaders sent to the gallows. Al though In command of a good sized army at Havana when General Shaffer attacked Santiago, Blanco made no at tempt to relieve that place, and as soon as the garrison surrendered and CVr- Tera's fieet was destroyed he urged his government to evacuate Cuba. All Home NEWS $1.00 Per Year King's Mountain and Hlstury. ! There Is a proposition before the country to appropriate $80,000 to erect a monument at King's mountain coui imemoratlve of the most brilliant pa .trlot victory of the war of the Revolu |Uon. The surrender of Coruwallis at i Yorktowu did not urnm contribute to ' peace than the victory of King's uiouu i tain contributed to that surrender. Yet i the brilliant event stands In history ,U little more than a tradition and is j regarded by the average American as I only a local myth. We have had some ambling history KTlting in this country about thai war 'and could well afford to expend this 1130,000 as an Inducement to the rising generation to inform themselves and learn that there was such a battle as King's mountain, where the noble Fer Iguson fell and where his troops were I slain or captured to a man by the rug iged Scotch-Irish of Virginia and the Caroltnas. Never was there a more gallant sol- I dler than Patrick Ferguson, the chival rous Irishman who at Brandy wine might have slain Washington and spared him In a moment or"uoble tm pulse. He led the British, and opposed to him were the militia of Virginia and the Carolines, under Campbell, Shelby, Sevier. Cleveland, McDowell. Williams, Lacey, Winston and others. Their troops were hardy settlers, used to privation, bruve, intrepid, self re llant, every one v hunter and a marks man. It la doubtful if ouelentli of On adult American population know where Kind's mountain is, and not one hundredth of them know that there was decided that memorable October day, 1780, the destinies of their coun try. Interest Id the battle was dolled by the civil war, and the last notable celebration on that field took place in 1855, the seventy-nfth anniversary. Telephone Manners. The telephone having become a fix ture users of this great time saver and business and social convenience cannot fairly object to the hint that there is room for improvement In the code of procedure that "goes. with every ma chine." The company rules simply tell the speaker and the auditor what to do to connect. Tilings unsaid In the rules are left to the good sense of the users, but a certain knot of reformers think that these, too, should be formulated Into a code. For Instance, it Is suggested that the idea that every call is from a friend wanting to pass a joke, or maybe a file alai in or some one demanding a check for that last bill, is to be dropped aud tlie call taken as a mere matter ol fact. Tlie receiver should be handled with delllteration, the tone unruffled and the overworked "Hello!" replaced by the monosyllable "Well?" An ex change of names iv ever}' iustauce is Insisted upon by the new codists, tot even wneD a call Is awaited the first corner :nay not lie tlie one expected. Of course secrets have no place on the phone, but all conversation has ils preliminaries when the parties are face to face, aud between parties unseen talU should not begin nor end abrupt ly. Since time is money on the phone as elsewhere, and often to a greater de cree, a code observed at both ends of the wire will really be another time saver. La Granja, the spot chosen as a re treat fur the young Spanish king and his British bride. is a sheltered recess In th' mountains In the center of a pine forest 4,000 feet above the sea. It lias been called the Versailles of Spain, but the terraces of La Granja, unlike those of its French prototype, are the result of nature Instead of artifice. Su perstitious folk would consider l.a Granja hoodooed, for It has witnessed several famous abdications of Spanish rulers, and the present king's mother has such a hatred of the place and its history that she has visited It but once In her life. That alleged plot to swindle New York out of $8,000,000, said to have been discovered by Comptroller Metz, must be an Invention of political rival ry. No self respecting New York grafters would take the trouble to con spire for such a plcayonlsb sum as $8,000,000. The fact that Senator Elect Bob Tay lor was born In "Happy Valley" leads to the suspicion that his reputation fur sunshiny good nature was not achiev •d, but was thrust upon him by his early environment Anyway, It Is good of "Sunny Bob" to pass It around It In said that the Zulus cower lv tuperstltlous awe under the British field searchlight. That Is because the wise darkles have an Inkling that the roaming flash Is merely a preliminary to letting daylight through Uem In the ■au&l white man's way.
