He has a large family, and for years has labored unceas ingly to got a little ahead and fix up a snug home for his wife and little ones. This he had just suc ceeded in doing, only to lose his all by fire. I was with him Wednesday, and he happily talked of his pretty and comfortable home, which he had at last succeeded in building. He told of how delighted his wife and children were, and how proud be and they felt. His happiness was such that I was greatly impressed ami I remember wondering if any king was ever so proud over a mag nificent palace than this working man over his little nest. “ Vesterday morning he walked into my otllce and at once I saw that something had happened. Then he told me of the burning of his house aud all bis possessions, and, gentlemen, I don’t think I am very susceptible, but I caught my self fee/ing mighty curious.
