To some extent Tho Insurance Press is an alarmist, Indicating the frequency of school fires by publish ing tho record of fires in education al institutions In the United States and Canada In tho first three months of this year. It is only by presenting in bulk tho particulars of tho fires that the great need of increasing safe-guards in school buildings can bo forced upon the mind, Brief paragraphs now and then and here and there of fires that endanger the lives of pu pils do not hold attention long enough to enable one to realize the criminal carelessness in tho main tenance of school buildings, tho neg lect to provide appliances to prevent tho spreading of fire. For tho period mentioned tho rec ord is that of fires in public schools in localities in eighteen states and of other educational institutions In localities in nineteen States and one Territory, besides two localities in Canada. It lias been said that school fires aro almost unpardonablo and that they aro likewise almost typical in American cities. The dnngorous con ditions have been apparent for many years, and time and time again the public authorities havo boon urged and urged to safeguard moro thor oughly tho lives of children in the public school. Warnings havo been numerous, without tho disaster in Colllnwood, but that disaster aroused everyone on tho subject of safeguard Ing tho lives of pupils, and imme diately Investigations wore begun in cities throughout the country. From reports that havo been compiled, it is evident that conditions aro suffi ciently dangerous to warrant tho as sertion that protective appliances are needed in tho school buildings in each city in tho United States. Tho roport of tho superintendent of school buildings in Now York City startled tho public and aroused the authorities to action. In Philadelphia seventy-ono school buildings were found defective. In Milwuukco six teen of tho school buildings wore condomned. In Los Angeles three schools woro found unsafe. Tho ro ' ports woro merely Indicative of con ditions In othor places. A noted engineer of government works de clared that "tho shocking catastrophe at Colllnwood did not result from ex ceptional conditions, but conditions that aro to ho found In thousands of instances throughout tho United States." Temporary precautions havo been taken in special instances until per manent improvements can bo ef fected. It is tip to tho local author ities to consider any reasonable proposition for tho Installation of ap pliances for this protection of school buildings against destruction by fire and to protect lives that have boon heretoforo deliberately Imperiled. Hack to Mother. I am going back to mother It's a long, long way to tread, And the ways aro half forgotten where my childish footsteps led. Thero will be no dream of glory in tho sunset's tinted skies, And thero'll bo no worlds to conquer that I'll see with closed eyes. I shall wond my footsteps backward to the garden that I knew, Where the hollyhocks stood stately and the timid pansies grew. I am going back to mother, far from city's wild alarms, To tho dreaming and the clinging of her tender, faithful arms. Selected. "Mother," says the distracted wife, rushing into her parental home, "I am so worried about John that I don't know what to do. I am sure there is something serious tho matter with him." "Why? What on earth makes you think so? Is he sick?" asks her mother. "I'll go right over and see him." "Oh, he has gone to his office as usual. But after breakfast this morning, when I asked him what he would like to have for dinner to night, instead of growling that he didn't care what we had ho said he wanted roast lamb, green peas, stuf fed potatoes, fruit salad, apple pie and coffee." Breakage. "Why do wo want more laws?" asked tho obstructionist. "Haven t wo had more than enough for all practical purposes?" "Well," answered tho cautious statesman, "you must remember that the breakage- of laws has been great of late." It takes two to make a quarrel, but some people on Coos Bay do, not havo much trouble in finding the other one.

"Hold on thero," said the patient, forgetting his burns. "Perhaps I could stand It, but I won't. I'm ready to pay a reasonable fee, but that's tho limit." Of course, they had to explain that theirs was not tho ordinary skin game. COQUILLE CULLIXGS. Items of Interest nt Coos County Seat at Told in tho Herald. Born To Mr. and Mrs. S. A.
