Tl ere wiis » lillle fnurtyurd, In oue of thtMiburl » of a large city lu Fraud*. round wblob wanraohvecy blgb noueee tuat lilt! auu could uever be seen there, e\eu ou the bri|{liteal ilayeof Simiiuer. In tin ,-i- house* dwelt at least Units families, much crowded together. The court wus so uarrow Unit a carriage could scurcely drive through Hand that four nitu abreast could hardly find marching room. It was night, and all had retired to rest weary with tbe work of the dajf ; even the chllilien whohad been Mlllog newspapers and malchus in llic-in I hiul in their snuud sleep forgotten both hunger and eol.l.and thought not of the sorrows of the coming morrow. In the midst of this dark night, there was a teinhle cry, "Fire! Fire!" All In the house had awokeaud in a moment were on their legs; faces pule with tcr-for uppeured at the windows, and the narrow court was tilled with,men wiio taw the conflagration with horror, and hail made several vain attempts to ex-tiiiKui- h it: It was Impossible l.i geta fire-engine through the narrow passage which' led up to the court. Already large red llnmcs were rising from the old bouse, the slair case and Inner walls were being cousumed, aud every now aud then fell In with u im-li. The people hoped that every one In the bouse hud escaped, but now a chihl's voice was heard from the highest win-dow willt a shrill crv: "Oli! father, save me!" But there wus no one who knew ho A-to help or save; I lie women WOOgobbed, the men wrung Iheir hands.forit seem-ed us if the little one up there must per-ish without un attempt to help him At ibis moment a lull strong man adl vanced, and, looking up ut the lire, he exclaimed: "Where are my boys?where is Wil-liam? where is John?" Instead of any answer, lie bears a cry of agony proceeding Iron the bouse. The father knows at once from whom it comes, he rushes Into the house, but at that very moment the slair case fell with a crash: a luil- ' del is nowhere to be found In Iheconrl. Utterly uppulled, the poor fethei ■lands there, not knowing whul to do But then the ciy is again beard from the llanos,"Father! futhe ! save me." Then uu Idea seized him; he rushed in-to the house which stood opposite to tlie Iniruing one In the courtyard, aud then hurrying up the stairs winch here were not jet burning, he reached the room opposite wnich his children were. J'hen lie lore out the window anil ils woodwork und witli u hold jump he sprung into the opposite room, where In- gelled the children, hull dead with terror, into Ills uruis. But not a moment is to be lost; what shall' hedonow.' Willi both his children In his arms, II Is impossible for him lo spring across again he will not leave either of them tore moment behind him. Neitheroati be ventuieto throe tbi m over Inlo the opposite loom, where there is no one to rateh them in their arms. He stands on the window Id e, and with woiicicrfiilskill he managi to stretch aoroM from one window to the ..tlicr, here holding on firmly With bis feet, then with his bunds, so as lo form a bridge with his body. Now lie called out to hi s lade!*1 "John, my boy, you can trust jour father, can't you!" " Yes, father," replied the child will tears. " Well, then, go aero,* ou my back. Dou't be afraid, tut do exactly ubal I tell you. Make haste! trust in me." The boy, lerriiicd, as lie was, knew that he could trust his good, brave father, so he boldly placed his fool up-on him, und went with ak>w bin cer-tain atop across in to Hie oilier house. "And now, yon, William; you have ouly got one minute," cried the father to Ibe elder hoy ; the 1I..110 •■ bad al-ready penetrated Into the room, and smoke mid heat were about to take away his breath. But Willinm, to,full of love and lonlldeiicc, made, the ven-ture, and 1.11-11 ned over the living bridge I". mini by his father's body in to the room, where lie was now sufe.- The bjretanden a hen they saw this, burst out into crie- ol joy, bill I hi'11 they asked themselves hi iw ibe father w.tilil beublcto gave liinself ufler he had saved his children. If he wiihdnu his bunds he must fnll down, aud he could not return back—the flumes now bursts forth out of the window, his head and arms were scorched by them. He could only cry out once more, " I commend you to Uod, John! I commend you to God, William: Qod bless you both I" and then lie fell down to the piiviineiii of the street, and when they took blm up the uoide ether wusdeud : A citizen who has an office on Mou-rn, avenue has for the laat three yeara been owing a grocery bill. Tbe gro- 00Hoot 1'I called on him over 100 11 on s to secure payment of the debt, inn was always put off with gome ex- SUae or Other. At one time It was death -auother sickness—another time bad luck, aud so it went ou until it really seemed impoasible for tbe debtor to In-vent any new plea". The otber day the grocer himself took the bill In hla li-t and cornered the debtor In bis of-licc. "Yes,I know—very sorry—hand you Ibe money a week from to-day," wae the smiling excuse. "See, here I" said the grocer as be locked llicdoorand pulled oft his coat, " I've been figurlug on this matter I'M-, bill is for $15. 1 can give you tba Wont liekiug a man ever received aud gel oil with a fine of flO. I'll then give you a receipt for tbe other live and tbeaccouut will be closed Pre-pare to be pulverized!" "Butsuppose I lick you-tben what?" queried the other. " Then there won't be any reenrt to the law, and you shall have a receipt in full!" "That seems to be fair, aud I'll do my best," said the debtor, and at It ihey went. The grocer expected to get awuy witli him in about a minute, but he was u deceived man. It wasn't over three minutes before he was knookec over a chair and reutlered hors de com-bat. " Is It a receipt In full '.'" asked th. debtor as he sal astride of the otber aud kept both hands fastened in hla hair. •She is!" " Aud you'll pay me $2 lu cash for lie broken furniture?" "Than you may get up, and I'll rec-ommend you to a dorter who'll fix your broken collar bone as good as new Inside of a week." "The grocer gave him a receipt for the account, and banded him $- in cash, and later iu the day, when tell-ing the story in the store, he explained : "Gentleman, I've sasaed scores of ciiu.ns, abused dozen- of baokrueu, and been aching for three years past for a chance to pulverize some one. It'a worth 117 to me to know that my grit gives out with ibe first round."—Do-troit tree Press. ALL SORTS. HELP TO IMPROVE THE PAPER. Whether a local paper is a newsy one or not depeuds largely upon tbe people uniong whom.It Is published. From the very nature of thlugs tbe editor la dependent upon your courtesy for in-loriualiuu concerning many of the evciiis that transpire In the communi-ty. Sometimes newspapers boast with a good deal of flourish of their facilities lor obtaining news, and talk loudly of the omnipresent reporter, but outside of metropolitan dailies Hie newsgalb" eriug machinery is generally In tbe iiuie I- of the people The notion that the edib r must, as a matter of course know ail thai is goiugou iu town and country is eutlrely erroneous. He is ■imply human, aud lias no supernat-ural sources of information. Heknowe a lliiug when he sees it or is told of it, Ilka any one else, und uot before. No one is more welcome to a newspaper nffloa than the iimu who brings an item. Many items that, would be of interest lo Hie general public pass un-noticed. Marriages, births, deaths • i.iiii il be published, but we can hav no knowledge of them uuless some one lolls us. The ubsence of a cilizeu or his family, or the presence of visit or- In our midst are proper and desira-ble Items for publicatio,., but It is not alwuys convenient lor us to attend up-on Hie uiiivul 01 trains aud stages lo obtain ilic.-e items. We are alwaya glu.i to give place for the mention of such news, and those who can will confer a favor upon us and Ibe public by bunding ill Hie items. Mauy little events are weekly transpiring iu dif-ferent neighborhoods throughout tbe c on ty iu which all readers are inter-ested. FOOD ADULi EnATIoN. The only effective way to check food adulterations—such us ure undergoing exposure before u committee of the New York Legislature—is to establish laboratories for the chemical detection of this kind of fraud and connect them With tbe police service. The govern-ment employ- policemen to delect tbe coiner-ot counterfeit money, forgers and oilier perpetralois of fraud; aud privateOltllvni from "Law audUrder" societies hunt down violators of Suu-day statutes. Hut Ihegovernmeutaud private citizens deliberately close their eyes to a wide-spread system of fraud by which people are not only cheated out 01 their money but frequently iu- Juied iu their health. Have the adul-terators oi fo d and drink become so formidable thai Legislatures are afraid lo uliack Ibcin '.'

COLLECTING A BILL.
A LIVING BRIDGE.
Tl ere wiis » lillle fnurtyurd, In oue
of thtMiburl » of a large city lu Fraud*.
round wblob wanraohvecy blgb noueee
tuat lilt! auu could uever be seen there,
e\eu ou the bri|{liteal ilayeof Simiiuer.
In tin ,-i- house* dwelt at least Units
families, much crowded together. The
court wus so uarrow Unit a carriage
could scurcely drive through Hand
that four nitu abreast could hardly find
marching room.
It was night, and all had retired to
rest weary with tbe work of the dajf ;
even the chllilien whohad been Mlllog
newspapers and malchus in llic-in I
hiul in their snuud sleep forgotten both
hunger and eol.l.and thought not of the
sorrows of the coming morrow.
In the midst of this dark night, there
was a teinhle cry, "Fire! Fire!" All In
the house had awokeaud in a moment
were on their legs; faces pule with tcr-for
uppeured at the windows, and the
narrow court was tilled with,men wiio
taw the conflagration with horror, and
hail made several vain attempts to ex-tiiiKui-
h it: It was Impossible l.i geta
fire-engine through the narrow passage
which' led up to the court. Already
large red llnmcs were rising from the
old bouse, the slair case and Inner
walls were being cousumed, aud every
now aud then fell In with u im-li.
The people hoped that every one In the
bouse hud escaped, but now a chihl's
voice was heard from the highest win-dow
willt a shrill crv:
"Oli! father, save me!"
But there wus no one who knew ho A-to
help or save; I lie women WOOgobbed,
the men wrung Iheir hands.forit seem-ed
us if the little one up there must per-ish
without un attempt to help him
At ibis moment a lull strong man adl
vanced, and, looking up ut the lire, he
exclaimed:
"Where are my boys?where is Wil-liam?
where is John?"
Instead of any answer, lie bears a
cry of agony proceeding Iron the
bouse. The father knows at once
from whom it comes, he rushes Into
the house, but at that very moment
the slair case fell with a crash: a luil-
' del is nowhere to be found In Iheconrl.
Utterly uppulled, the poor fethei
■lands there, not knowing whul to do
But then the ciy is again beard from
the llanos,"Father! futhe ! save me."
Then uu Idea seized him; he rushed in-to
the house which stood opposite to
tlie Iniruing one In the courtyard, aud
then hurrying up the stairs winch
here were not jet burning, he reached
the room opposite wnich his children
were. J'hen lie lore out the window
anil ils woodwork und witli u hold
jump he sprung into the opposite room,
where In- gelled the children, hull
dead with terror, into Ills uruis. But
not a moment is to be lost; what shall'
hedonow.' Willi both his children
In his arms, II Is impossible for him lo
spring across again he will not leave
either of them tore moment behind
him.
Neitheroati be ventuieto throe tbi m
over Inlo the opposite loom, where
there is no one to rateh them in their
arms. He stands on the window Id e,
and with woiicicrfiilskill he managi
to stretch aoroM from one window to
the ..tlicr, here holding on firmly With
bis feet, then with his bunds, so as lo
form a bridge with his body. Now lie
called out to hi s lade!*1
"John, my boy, you can trust jour
father, can't you!"
" Yes, father," replied the child will
tears.
" Well, then, go aero,* ou my back.
Dou't be afraid, tut do exactly ubal
I tell you. Make haste! trust in me."
The boy, lerriiicd, as lie was, knew
that he could trust his good, brave
father, so he boldly placed his fool up-on
him, und went with ak>w bin cer-tain
atop across in to Hie oilier house.
"And now, yon, William; you have
ouly got one minute," cried the father
to Ibe elder hoy ; the 1I..110 •■ bad al-ready
penetrated Into the room, and
smoke mid heat were about to take
away his breath. But Willinm, to,full
of love and lonlldeiicc, made, the ven-ture,
and 1.11-11 ned over the living
bridge I". mini by his father's body in
to the room, where lie was now sufe.-
The bjretanden a hen they saw this,
burst out into crie- ol joy, bill I hi'11 they
asked themselves hi iw ibe father w.tilil
beublcto gave liinself ufler he had
saved his children. If he wiihdnu
his bunds he must fnll down, aud he
could not return back—the flumes
now bursts forth out of the window,
his head and arms were scorched by
them. He could only cry out once
more, " I commend you to Uod, John!
I commend you to God, William: Qod
bless you both I" and then lie fell
down to the piiviineiii of the street,
and when they took blm up the uoide
ether wusdeud :
A citizen who has an office on Mou-rn,
avenue has for the laat three yeara
been owing a grocery bill. Tbe gro-

seemed impoasible for tbe debtor to In-vent

the grocer himself took the bill In hla

"Yes,I know—very sorry—hand you
