France’s Calamit .
The dreadful fire that raged Tuesday
in Paris, costing scores and perhaps
hundreds of liver,‘s ara'ional calamity,
at which the whole world shudders. A
great assemblage of men and women
was caught in the twinkling of an eye
in the midst of a furnace from which
escape was possible to but a few and
only by means of the most desperate
struggles. The most immediate de-
struction of the flimsy Inuildini,r showed
how little attention had been paid in its
construction to the possibility of such a
calamity. Nothing this
' holocaust has occurred sincethe great
theatre fire in Vienna some years ago,
when many scoreshof lives were burned
and crushed out in a few moments.

Senator Morrill’s Good Work.
Senator Morrili’s re-introduced bill
for the purchase of a site for a Supreme
Gourt building says the Washington
Star, ~hould be passed at the earliest
moment. It is designed to complete
the great architeciual scheme started
when the magnificent Library building
was located immediately east of the
Sapitol with an «anal space on the
north for a similarly beautiful struc-
ture. Seuatr r Morrill deserves great
credit for Illl‘. conception and for its
execution thus far. The Library build-
ing is today due to his sagacity and
broad view of the needs of the govern-
ment. It has been his avowed detei-
mination since that plan was consum-
mated to complete the Work by per-
suading Congress of the necessity for
the err-fiction of a suitable home for the
nation’s highest cour', now lUfl-dl quate-
lyhonxed in the Capitol.
The court itself, ro be turf, I't quires
comparatively little room. but it is in
. contemplation that the new structure
w-ilthe made large enough not only for
the expansion of the court and its ac-
cessories, but also for the Department
of Justice. so cl sely assoctaied with
lhis tribunal.

With it acoumplished, the nation Can
boast of the possession of agreat temple

artistically, it may well be proud. 'I‘tie‘
preSent but provides only for the pur.
chase of the necessary site, which can
not reasonably be smaller than that de-
roted to the L.brary. It is fortunate
that in this enterprise there does not
txist the same obstacle to action that
usually {handicaps oil tfi'orts to secuie
new government buildings—the choice
No. more appropriate
of a site.
The location of the Library solved
that problem for the later building, and
Gougress has no good reason for further
delay in the matter of Senator Morri‘ii’s
measure. Procrastination is a false
economy, for the cost of the land in
question will never be less than it is to-
day and Will be greater. The taking ( f
the initial steps for the condemnation
of the land Will not necessarily make
requisite the apprI-priation of any area'-
er sun‘, and the plea of goVernmental
povertr, so often made in opposition to
such enterprses, should not be raised

The chimney. is made up of 137 steel
plates. These masses of steel weigh
from 800 to 1,400 pounds each and
vary in thickness from a quarter to a
half inch. Such a thing as it break in

student entered and joined in the con.

said to him: "‘Be quiet. At your age
I was an ass myself.”

Incident In a Country Doctor’s Life—HI

“The life of a country doctor is no
one of ease and luxury,” COIDmentel
an old practitioner. “A call at nigh
and then a. drive, perhaps of five a
six miles, uphill and down dell in tin
darkness of the forest. One night 1
received a call from a distant; farn
house. Upon arriving there I found t
lad of about eighteen with a. bulle
wound in his shoulder. I dressed thl
wound with much care. and then thi
lad with much anxiety observed:
“ ‘You won’t say anything abou-
this, doctor?’ ‘
“'Why not, my lad?’ I' pitied bin
in a way, for his eyes had a hunter’
look and he appeared half famishct‘
and half dead.
“ ‘Because I received this wound ii
escaping from the Sheriff.’
“ ‘You needn’t tell me.’
“ ‘I must. I couldn't- get work, sir

stole. It was for the first time. i
thought you might speak of dressing

where to find me. If you say nothing.
