Some years ago, ship sailing in
the South Atlantic, saw another max

down toward the sufferers, and hailed
them. 'What is the matter:" cried
the captain, through his trumpet.
I've are dying for water" was the
feeble response. dip it up them"
shouted back the astonished captain.
"you are in the mouth of the Amazon
river" And sure enough, there these
sailors were, with parched lips and
swollen tongues, supposing that there
was nothing but the oceans brine
around them, when they were in the
mouth of the mightiest river on the
globe, with three hundred miles of
fresh water all around them.
Thus are we, poor thirsty souls,
sailing on the bondless ocean Of Gods
love, needless of the divine voice
which saith, "If thou knewest the gift
Of God, and who it is that saith to
thee, give to me drink, thou wouldst
have asked of Him, and He would
have given thee living water."-Astor-

tober 25th, she writes, that at the time
the fire occurred she was in Mason

cen there ouly two hours. when she
received dispatch that her house was
burned. She took the next train, ar
irving at midnight, to find her pleasant
home in ruins, and nearly everything
destroyed. To Mrs. Barnes the loss
is very great, as she had fine large

her family, with many other sacred

relatives and friends, in this place, his

When the terrible news came he was
nearly frantic. He started Tuesday
Evening on the 6 p. NJ. train, ARRIVING
at Ottumwa in 30 hours. The cause
of the fire is not known; the suppo-

of the sad occurrence, Mrs. Barnes
was at Mr.. Lyman Ely's, the death of
whose wife was published in our last

l9, 1906, where he resided until twen-

TO OHIO and settled on tract of land
in the south east part of Rootstown
township.
Here he commenced the foundation
of home by clearing the land OF
becches, oaks, aud naples and fitting
it for the plow.
In the second year of his stay in
Ohio he found a helpmate in the per-
sou of Miss Lucia Case. with whom
he has spent forty-five happy and
prosperous years, and who survives

Gideon was the oldest of family of
seven, six brothers and sister, all of

fire. The alarm was sounded and the

had gained such head way as to render
all efforts to save the building of little
avail. The back part was soon in

the old Phenix company, checked the
flames before the main part of the
building fell in, though it was so much
burned as to be worth little or moth
