OLD FANEU1L HALL Cradle of American Liberty Is Soon to Be Restored. ? Boston Landmark, Erected in 1740, for ? Scores of Years Afforded Place for Patriotic Gatherings. ? Faneull hall is to be made fireproof, jalso made over on the old model. New York tans an interest in the matter. It kwas a nutive of New York state, Peter fFaneuil, born in New Rochelle, who 'built the llllll llllll nrpspntml It In Knu. (ton in 1740. When he died lliree years {later it was the scene of memorial exercises in his honor. What glorious patriotic meetings huve been held in '.the building and its reconstructions since that time; in the Revolutionary war and all our wars, in abolition times and whenever the times demanded that free speech should have utterance,'observes the New York Sun. No political campaign in tho old days was complete without mass meetings In Fnneull hall, on whose sawdust-covered floor stood the democracy to listen, to applaud and to show its displeasure. What u wellsprlng of inspiration the picture of Webster replying to Hayne has heen for two generations! The sight of that quaint 'and homely building, as one approaches it in the bustle and tide of city life, brings back the stirring scenes of Itev'olutionary days when it got its name of the Cradle of American Liberty. Faneuil hall, witli its market below and meeting hall above, is to be restored to the original fabric and design as well as may be, and to be made as secure as possible against Are. In 1761 all hut the shell was burned. Not since then, we believe, have the building and its additions been seriously threatened. Yet it lias always been deplorably combustible. Here is what the finance commission has to say about it: "In the basement the floor timbers .are unprotected. The refrigerator .rooms are packed with cork. The cork and the unprotected timbers give an opportunity for fire damage in this part of the building. The windows lare of common glass with wooden .sashes and nrp?i'ta ? iinncroi- I *?n the outside. Over the upper hall there is a dumb waiter running from the room used as u kitchen which Is constructed of inflammable material." And there is much more of the same kind. It is a painful thought that modern Boston has neglected the Cradle of American Liberty. Such, however, seems to be the case. What columns of grief and reminiscence there would have been if fire had gutted it and leveled its walls! Big [Faneuil hall is to be suved for posterity now. Bravo, Boston! Has the war waked you up to your duty? "If I 'properly done," says a report of the I society of architects, "the architectural i restoration proposed will make of this | building a unique possession of the [city." Faneuil hall has always bean rthat. Guard it well. English Women In War. When the war began. England had only a little army. Many Englishmen had never seen a soldier. A new army of 5,000,000, drawn from civilian ranks, "had to be raised, trained, armed, | clothed, fed and equipped with all the supplies demanded by a war which has \ turned every scientific invention to the j work of destruction. This necessitated ! that the women (ill the necessary places men had formerly occupied and also engage in the new industries war requirements caused to spring into existence. Lord NortheliiTe says that the women have done this work, in the main, exactly as well as the men. They have entirely displaced the men in the 'operation of elevators, as clerks in ' stores, hanks, and insurance ofllces and as drummers. In their enthusiasm the women attempted tasks beyond their physical strength, but this was gradually corrected. The fact that England has been able to maintain Its credit and keep its exports at practically the prewar figures Lord Northcllffe unhesitatingly ascribes to the work of the women. < Preserving Old Furniture. ? Possessors of antique furniture '.should devote regular attention to It, nnd especially to any of old oak, which should be kept In condition by periodical rubbings with flannel dipped jin a mixture of beeswax, oil nnd splr'its of turpentine. White painted jr rencn rurnnure is nesi cieansea wun paraffin; and after old mahogany has {been gone over with a very little sweet loll any spots or stains may usually be j worked off or blended Into the wood ,fiber by working an oxalic acid and iwater dampened cork over the suriface of the blemish. The brilliancy of the gliding of old furniture, mlr ror frames and cnndelabra may nearly always he speedily restored by being isponged off with sulphur which hns .been boiled for fifteen minutes In com!pnny with several bruised garlics, or with a preparation of common salt, 'alum and purified nitre, such as any 'drugglsf will supply. The Town Fool. . ' "Ladles and gentlemen," shouted the long-haired one. "We are here to proTest against the constantly Increasing Icost of living. Since the war everything has gone up. I defy unyone to i name a single thing that has gone down since the war began." ,. "How about these here ships that have been torpedoed?" asked the town fool from the back of the hall.?Gargoyle.

I listened to co it for a moment before I spoke. ro "Why?" I questioned at last?"why ba are you afraid to take your chance?to Sei be happy?" E^ "Because," answered my friend, and ye her eyes looked far away?past the car and the rain, even?"because I'm afraid that It won't last!" When It Is autumn, and the leaves ct< are crimson and gold-colored and very irij beautiful, we know, even as we admire at them, that thev will hp hmwn ?mi ? I1U withered some day. But that does not co keep us from loving their glorious colora. p It's like that, too, with flowers, and 1 springtime, and the blue sky of sum- co mer. We know that the flowers will w' fade away and that springtime will go th and that there will be winter storm clouds where there were once sparkles W( of sun. to And so this Is the answer to my yre friend and tc ither friends of mine: ? sn Never be afraid to grasp at happl- , ness because It may not last. For hap- I plness Is as beautiful as the flowers | ' of spring and the sky of summer and ni< the vivid leaves of autumn. And even ni< though It might not last, happiness Is or too beautiful to pass by with never a ]a, glance. lo, And then, as the philosopher1 said, and as we know, don't be sure, as you take your chance at happiness, that it 10 will not stay. Look around your circle P'1 of friends, look at your business asso- us elntes, look at the casual crowds that | to you pass every day and you'll see that | an the average of happy faces Is rather ^ high. You'll see more smiles, I think, Cj1 than frowns; more merry faces than . , * to sad ones I Don't be afraid to take a chnnce at Pa happiness because you fear that It Is too beautiful to last.

A professional man says it costs "*e about 7 cents a mile to run his auto. This Includes oil, wear and tear, insurance and upkeep generally. Once a ? week he drives to the country and buys . d supplies, butter, eggs, chickens, op- d pies, potatoes, etc. Sometimes he cov- Jj ers 50 miles on a trip. Thus, accord- S lng to his own estimates, his expense V would be fully $3.50 for the 50 mHes. 41 If he buys eggs at 5 cents a dozen, but- d tor "at 5 cents a pound, chickens at 4 cents a pound cheaper thnn he can buy g them In the city?and he buys them I merely for his own family use?how | much does he save??Indianapolis I News.

I am feeling fine. >pe all of you are well. Am tired; lay has been a busy day and I'll be id to get a nap. This is the time year that the country is so pretty ere. I am looking forward to the ne when I get back on the farm, ten I am going to take a vacation d have a good time. Parts of this untry is beautiful. The ground is lling; there is a long high ridge ck of here and from there one can e a long distance and can see lots, rerything is green. There are red, llow, blue and all sorts of wild flows. There are birds of all kind, such magpie, orioles, crows, sparrows, :. The orioles and cuckoos are singg all the time and I like to go out dark and listen. Then I think of me and you all. Of course all the untry is not like this; there is the rt where grass and birds can't live, it why look on that part? There is ming a day when all the country I 11 be green, and God granting, may f at day be soon. B I have been here for the past two I ?eks. Am hoping that I'll fret back I my company tomoiTow. I want to t hack to my billet. I have a nice lall room back there; in fact, I have e best room of any of the officers, have a nice old-fashioned bed with :e clean sheets. The people are very ire to me. The old man is the mayor, something of that sort, of the vilsre. The houses in this country are w, long, built in a b or U shape and one end is the barn. I had been ngratulating myself on fretting a ace w'here part of the house was not ed as a ham; but one day I managed open a door at the back of the room d what do you guess I saw? Well, ere stbod a couple of cows calmly ewing some hay. Now I am willing bet that there isn't a house that rt is not used as a barn. You must write often and remember at a letter can't be too long. You e, we don't get papers as you do, so E is through letters that we get any H ws. Don't wait for me to write. E >u must write often. I saw a good show a few evenings E :o. Guess you are surprised to hear R a show' in this place. It was gotten I i by people in the army. There was od singing and dancing. And the c medians were fine. There was a l rl, too, the best looking one I have en since I left there. Of course "she" v is a soldier, too. "He" made a very etty girl. Guess you all have plenty of fruit ^ w.
