The fire was but a few feet from Mr Duncan's building and was making a nice little blazo when first seen.

It was soon ex-tinguished however and no harm was done. Should a tire get, started in this location it, would bo a hard matter to save any of the buildings on this side of the street, ami unless the wind was in a favorable direction the opposite side of the street would be jeopardized, on account uf the water supply which is very insufficient along'tho business portion of the town to afford any protection in case of fire. Here again we see illustrated the fact" that more wells and better facilities for procuring watet is needed in this, part of town, atid 'we hope that the owners of these properties will see the need and -take such steps as will furnish a larger and better supply of water in case of fire. It might also be well to add that parents should use every possible precaution against children having matches to play with, and thereby eliminate the danger from this source as far as possible, as we hoard of other children who have been seen with matches and endeavoring to make a just to see it burn.

The home should be made the jolliest place ou earth for the children, Don't be afraid of a little fun at the family fireside. Don't let the boys think that all mirth and social enjoyment is "narred from the home, if you wish to keep them away from places that lead to vice and degradation. 'Young people must have fun Mid relaxation somewhere, and if they do not find it in their homes, they will seek it at other and undesirable places. Parents should not repress the buoyant spirits of their children, but join in their merriment around the home fireside. The children will lose none of their respect for their father or mother if they occasionly loosen their "dignity" and take part in the children's fun and sport.

An evening's romp and play with their youug folks will drive dull care away aiid dispel the memory of many an annoyance of the day. Havo fun at home. Ex. OKONOQUE, KANSAS li I fougot to mention ly nice It line of HAMMOCKS and ICE CREAM FREEZERS. IB Dellvale News.

There came very near being a fire at Mr fiJIood's one day last week, as Mrs Blood had beeu iron-ing some clothes and had them hanging on a rack near the stove to air before rowing, and stepped out to milk the cow and shortly after she had gone Mr Blood went into the house and 'found one of shirts that had been hanging on the rack lying on the floor and a-gainst the stove nearly burned to ashes, and the floor just starting to burn.

It is supposed that a gust of wind had blown the shirt onto the stove where it had caught afire and then fallen 'io the lloor, and in relating the incident Mr B.

Here is the bill, now te'l me what you will fill it for." "All right," says the merchant, "but will you tell me what, -the catalogue price is, after I got so I will know what the difference is?" "Sure," said the customer, and the merchant figured the bill, A comparison of figures showed that the home man's "prices amounted to $14.20, while the catalogue prices footed up to $11.17, plus freight from Kansas City, which made the catalogue bill 78 the higher of the two.

The editor replied; "You are right and the minister who will at all times and under all circumstances tell the tuth about his members, aHve or dead, will not occupy the pulpit more than one Sunday and then ho will find it necessary to leave town in a hurry. The press and the pulpit go hand in hand with whitewash brushes aud pleasant words, magnifying little virtues into big' ones. The the pen, and the grave stone are the great saint-making triumvirate."

The devil met him and addressed him thus: 'For many jears you have borne the blame for the bad spelling that the printer has got off in the paper. The' paper has gone for $1.00 a year: and alas, the printer-has bedeviled thee for wagers when thou hadst not a farthing to thy name. People hath taken thy paper without paying for it and cussed thee for not getting out a better sheet.
