There's coffee and milk

But liquors and ale

The Deacon looked up greatly sur

laugh.

"No," said Bessie, thinking how she
should bring in cher apologize"
"Well, come in, child, come in" he
said. impatiently, "and sit down."
Bessie came in, and taking one of the
bip chairs opposite the Deacon watches

con, handing her the plate he had filled.
Bessie wasn't hungry, but she thought
it would be impolits TO refuse, so she
took it, and she and the Deacon ate
their breakfast together she at the head
of the table and he at the foot
II am very sorry you are all alone"
began Bessie, after moments silence.
"Wonldn't you like q little girl like

"And what good do little girls like
YOU do?" asked the Deacon.
"Oh! none at all, J" said Bessie, only
if YOU had one she could love you lots"
$50 she could" said the Deacon, with
something of sigh, and after that he
let Bessie do all the talking until the old
housekeeper came to the door and said
the horse was at the gate. Then what
do you suppose the Deacon said? Moth
ing less than this: "Well, Bessie, how
would YOU like to take another ride
home with me-"
"Oh, I'd like it lots,' said Bessie,
jumping up and clapping her hands.

sic scrambled up once more INTO the
old buggy.
They had a merry ride home, for the
Deacon's hat blew off, and he had to
chase it along the road. Bessie laughed
till the tears rolled down her cheeks,
and even the Deacon smiled when he
was once more seated by her side.
When they dove up to the door OF
the cottage Mrs. BLY, met them.
She thanked the Deacon for bringing

That Bessie did not do, but wonderful
to relate, the Deacon came to see her.
In fact she and he became such friends
that the neighbors ceased to wonder at

about with one of the school children

Runaway.

Last Sunday morning, about elev-
en- o'clock, as DIR. J. NJ. Jennings. Of
this city, was driving livery team
south on Michigan Street, the horses
took sudden fright and became I'M
manageable. Dashing down Michigan
they turned west on LaPorte when
the buggy upset and the Doctor was
thrown violently against the project
ing planks of the sidewalk in front Of
Becker's grocery store. Several men
who saw the accident hsstened to the
assistance of the injured man, and he
was conveyed to Poe & Chapman's
drug store where his injuries were
examined. Two broken ribs, a severe
cut on the temple, and several bruises
on other parts of the body was the
result of the examination. The team
ran into the alley between the NJ. E.
Church and SINGERS residence and
were there secured, little damaged;
the buggy was broken up considera-
bly,. At present the doctor is getting
along as well as could be expected
under the circumstances. We are
informed that about ten years ago he
fell from high building in course Of
erection and the result OF that acct
dent was fourteen bones broken. 1t
seems that DR.. Jennings was not
born to be killed by accidents result
ing in the breakage of bones, surely.

Dastard.y Attempt 70 Burn Three

Dastard;y Attempt 10 Dprn Three
Frame Buildings on Michigan Street.
About twenty minutes past ten
o'clock Tuesday night our citizens
were startled by the cry of fire, and
rushing into the streets, found Mich
igan street, from Gano to LaPorte
street, filed with smoke. It was
soon apparent that the fire was in the
rear end OF Felty's meat market, and
the doors were broken open, which
disclosed the lath, plastering and wall
between the meat market and saloon
all apparently on fire. A few buckets
OF water promptly applied extin-
guished the flames. and an examina-
ton OF the premises disclosed the fact
that the fire was the work OF an in
cendiary. Nearly a gallon OF coal oil
had been poured on the walls, floor
and counters. TIE doors in the rear
OF the building were open, showing
that the incendiary had entered and
made his escape in that way. Had
the fire not been discovered just at
the time that it was, it would have
been impossible TO save the three
frame buildings owned by William
son, Shoemaker and Mrs. Haslanger,
and occupied "a meat market, boot,
shoe and clothing store, and saloon.
The entire brick block and other
buildings on Michigan street would
have been endangered, but these
three buildings are together wedged
in, as it were, between two brick
blocks, and could not have been
saved with the fire once under head
way. The engine was promptly on
the ground, but the fire was extin-
guished without it. No clue has been
found to the perpetrators OF the das-
tardly act. and the motive in firing
the building can only be conjectured,
though the intention to plumber was
probably the object.
