Many of our neighboring towns and
cities are instituting clean-up days sim
liar to the one successfully carried
out in Enterprise last year planned by
the Improvement club and so ably en
dorsed by the city council. The gfd
work should be again taken up. AVliil
notices for clean-up day appear In
many of our exchanges the Morning Al
bertan at Calgary, Canada, goes them
all one better. It says: "Beginning
at 8 o'clock on the morning of Mon
day, April 10, there will , bo a six
days' cleaning of the back alleys and
streets of the city, when all citizens
'are urged to take a patriotic part,
with brush and pick in hand. The prop
option of six days is made, not be
cause the city Is dirtier this year thai
last, but because of Its expanse, and
the fact that too much dirt would
b& collected in one day for the incin
erators." Three attempts have been made by
incendiaries to burn St. Paul's Epis
copal church at Walla Walla, one of
the most modern and costly church
structures in that city. The first at
tempt was made last November and
two others last week. The fires have
fit the parish to an expense of sever
al thousand dollars, and strenuous ef
forts are being made to arrest the
guilty party.
People should be very careful when
the spring cleaning mania strikes
them. At Centrnlla, Wash., in agod
woman had stored her savfngs for
years in an old shoe which an ener
getic daughter-in-law relegated to a
pile of debris which she converted
Into a bonfire. The old ludy appear
ed in time to' rescue the gold bullion
which will be shlppedfto the mint, but
the greenbacks were almost hopeless.

ONE HUNDRED FORTY
KILLED IN BIG FIRE.
One hundred and forty-eight personsnine-tenths
of thera girls from
the east side were crushed to death
on the pavements, smothered In smoke
or burned to a crisp lh a factory
fire last Friday afternoon in the
worst disaster New York city has
known since the steamship "Gener
al Slocuin" was burned to the water's
edge off North Brother Island in
1904.
One hundred and forty-one bodies
had been removed from the ruins at
midnight and seven of the 40 Injur?
ed died in hospitals. This, it la be
lieved, completes the list of dead,
most of whom are unidentified.
Grief crazed relatives besieged the
morgue as the bodies were laid out.
Nearly all, if not all of the victims,
were employed by the Triangle Waist
company on the eighth, ninth and
tenth floors of a ten story loft, build
ing at No. 23 .Washington Place on
the western fringe of the down town
wholesale district. Partners of the
firm, Isaac Harris and Max Blanck,
escaped, carrying with them over an
adjoining roof, Blanck's two young
daughters and a governess. There
was not an outside fire escape on the
building, and another holocaust goes
down in history attributed to neg
ligence of city officials ' and to em
ployers. How the fire started perhaps never
will be known. A corner on the eighth
floor was Its point of origin and only
the three upper floors were swept.
On the ninth floor 60 bodies were
found; 63 or more persons were
crushed to death by jumping; more
than 30 clogged the elevator shafts.
Loss of property will not exceed $100,
000.

AN EASTER EGG GAME.
"A jolly game for wee folk3 to play
at. Easter-tlme is that of 'Touch, "
says Woman's Home Companion for
April. "Nor Is It necessary to con
fine this amusement to the very lit
tle poople, for it would make an ap
propriate entertainment to Introduce
after an Easter luncheon party where
the1 Easter egg enters into the scheme
of table decorations. Place six eggs
which have been colored green, red,
black, blue, yellow and one lef!
white, in a pan or basket of moss
or bran, leaving some space between
One of the players Is blindfolded
and then provided with a light stick
or wand. With this she carefully
touches one of the eggs, reciting slow'
ly and distinctly at the same! time:
" 'Peggy, Patrick, Mike and Meg,
See nie touch my Easter egg;
Oreen and red, and black and blue
Count for six, five, four and two;
If I touch an egg of white,
A forfeit then will be your right:
If I touch an egg of gold.
It Is mine to have and hold.'
"As the rhyme tells the colors
count as follows: Green, six; red,
five; black, four; blue, two, and the
yellow egg is worth more than all of
them combined, for when a player
touches that she wins the game re
gardless of the standing of the oth
er scores. The white egg is less than
nothing, as whoever touches it has a
forfeit to pay. The method of deter
mining this would wisely be decided
before the game opens.
"Each player is blindfolded in turn,
and when the score of, say, twenty
is reached by any single player, the
game Is ended without the aid of the
'golden egg.' Of course the rela
tlve positions of the eggs must be
changed with each player.''

A BUSINESS MAN TELLS
US WHAT'S THE MATTER.
(By L. L. Fuller in Labor Press.)
In a little town not a thousand
miles from Portland, dwells a little
business man. He owns a little store
and also has a little job as postmas
ter. One evening not long ago, a
group of men, waiting for the arriv
al of the mail, were discussing la
bor troubles.
After listening for a time, this lit
tle business man joined the discussion
with the remark: "Now, boys, if
you will just listen to me a minute,
I'll tell you just what's the matter.
The average workingman is too shift
less and extravagant. He spends ev
ery cent he gets and then grumbles
because, he don't get ahead. He tries
to live too high, and does not keep
within his income. If all worklngmen
would be Industrious, and save their
money, they would soon be all right,
and these labor troubles would cease.
"How much ought a man to save
up from his earnings each week?"
asked a stranger among the group.
"Should he save all his wages, or
one-half, or one-fourth, or one-tenth?"
"Why, of course, he couldn't save
all," said the little business man, "nor
even one-half and probably one-fourth
would be too much, but he could save
one-tenth, and If everyone would do
that regularly and stick to it, we
would soon be all right."
"Do you. really think so," asked
the stranger. "There are thirty mil
lion workers in the United States,
earning on an average of about ten
dollars a week each. If every one saves
up one-tenth of his wages, or one
dollar per week each, these workers
would save up thirty million dollars
In a week, one hundred and twen
ty million dollars in a month, one bil
lion five hundred and sixty million
dollars in a year, and three billion
one hundred and twenty million dol
lars in two years, which Is more
money than there . is In the United
States. Now, tell me, please, how
It would make everything 'all right'
to withdraw from circulation and lay
up every dollar in the United States?
What would you do business on, my
friend?"
The Us'eners looked interested. The
little business man gasped for breath
partially recovered and stammered,
"I did didn't say lay It all up and
keep it layed up."
"Beg your pardon," replied the stra
ger, "but that Is exactly what you
did say:. 'If every one would save
up one-tenth of his money and stick
to it, we would soon be all right!"
"Well," said the little business man
"If I did, I didn't mean it that way
"Howdid you mean It, then? What
would you have the working man, do
with his money if he is not to con
tinue saving it?'
"Invest it In a home, the same as I
did," said -the little business man,
"and quit paying rent." ,
"When shall the worker buy his
home?" asked the stranger, "at the
end of the first week, when he has
saved up one dollar, or at the end of
the month, when he has saved up
four dollars, or at the end of a year
when he has saved up fifty-two dol
lars, or shall he keep on saving It up
for two years, till "all the money is
layed up, and then buy an eight-room
house and a couple of lots with
the one hundred and four dollars he
will then have?"
The little business 'man was speech
less. He winked hard and swallowed
a lump in his throat. His face grew
redder as the listening group grinned
appreciatively and expectantly.
"You started out to tell us just
what is the matter," said the stran
ger, "but you haven't done it yet. Are
you one of those 'visionary and im
practical dreamers' we read about?
If every laboring man would do as
you advise the entire business of this
country would be paralyzed In less
than two months. Your business) and
that of others like you, deponds on
the fact the average workingman. In
stead of being lazy and improvident,
Is Industrious to a hurtful degree
far more industrious than those who
criticize him. He loves his family
more than he loves money, and tries
to make his hard earned dollars
bring to wife and children all the
comfort and joy that he possibly can
therefore he spends those dollars free
ly, though not always wisely; and
your business, my friend, depends
absolutely on this fact."
Just then the mail arrived and the
little business man retired to distrib
ute it.
THE NEW ARRIVAL.
The Greens had a new piano, and
Eleanor was telling Mlldrvd and the
girl across the street about it. 'What's
the name of your piano?" Mildred in
quired of the girl across the etreot.
"Stein make," was the answer.
'The name of ours Is PU-kertng,"
said Mildred.
'Well, ours just came last night."
piped Eleanor, "and we haven't nam
ed it yet." B. R. In Woman's Home
Companion for April,
"I'm so run down that I can give
no more tick," sighed the alarm
clock.
