BAD FIRE
SATURDAY NIGHT
The fire alarm called the voluu
teer company to the block of stores
owned by Mr. A. J. Porter last I
Saturday night about nine o’clock.
The lire had gained a cousiderauie
headway before the alarm was
given, and although the firemen
responded promptly and did good
work, the interior of the buildings,
as well as their contents, was
altuost a total loss beiore the !fire
could be brought under control.
Two of the stores were vacant.
One store was occupied by the
bicycle and gun shop of Mr. N. H.
Parnell, and the shoe shop of Mr.
P. H. Holley, The buildings
were partially covered by insur¬
ance. Mr, Parnell’s loss wascom
plete, being estimated at $1,200,
with $300. insurance. Mr. Holley
carried no insurance.
It is thought that the fire caught
from defective electrical wiring.

An Old-Fashioned Mother
I hank God, some of us have,
and others have had, an oldfash
ioud mother. Not a woman of the
period, enameled and painted, an
esper, bridge player, where white
jewelled fingers have never felt the
clasp of her baby’s fingers, but a
dear, okl fashioned, sweet-voiced
mother,with eyes in which
lovelight shone and browu hair
threaded with ; j
silver, lying smooth
upon her faded cheek, Those
dear hands, worn with toil, gently
guided our tottering steps in child¬
hood and smoothed our pillow in
sickness, even reaching out to us
in yearning tenderness when her
sweet spirit was passing through
the cold, dark river. Blessed is
the memory of an old fashioned
mother. It floats to us now like
beautiful perfume of some wood¬
land blossoms. The music of
other voices may be lost, but the
entrancing memory of her will echo
in our soul forever. Other faces
will fade away and be forgotten,
but hers will shine ou until the
heaven’s portals shall glorify cur
own. When in the fitful pause of
bus y life our feet wander back to
the old homestead, and crossing
the well worn threshold, standing
once more iu the low, quaint room,
hallowed by her preseuce, how the
feeling of childish iunocnce aud.
deoeudence comes over us and
we kneel down in the mottled sun¬
shine streaming through the win
clow—just where, long years ago,
we knelt by mother’s kifee, lisping.

those sacred hours, of mother’s
words, her faith and prayers,
saved us from sin. Years have
piled great drifts over between her
and us, but they have not hidden
from our sight the glory of her
pure, unselfish love.—Milton
