A BRAVE BOY.
by O. s. SLEIGHT.

Speaking of courage" said my
friend, Tom Barton, as we met one day
after long separation, reminds me of
an incident that happened at the doc
tors school the first winter after you
left
1t was during the Christmas hoH-
days, and all of the boys had gone home
except two brothers, named Fred and
Albert Kobb, and myself. They were
obliged to stay during the vacation be-
cause their parents were spending the
season in Florida, and well, as YOU
know, my home was at a distance, and
we were poor, SO / remained at school.
The brothers were very unlike, both
An appearance and character Fred, the
elder OF the two, was large, muscular,
auddy-faced boy, not much in love with
books. He was Of an overbearing dispo-
sltlon, and had a great deal of conceit
Albert, on the contrary, was pale
and slender. He was very quiet and
studious, and had such love of honesty
aud truth, and such detestation of mean
ness and wrong, that we boys had
dubbed him the 'Parson.'
1t was the Saturday night between
Christmas and New Years. We three
boys were hugging the stove in the lit
3le room adjoining the doctors study.
Ooctor was In the study writing a SER
mon for the following day, as he had to
preach at Midtown.
We could hear his pen scratch over
'the paper during the lulls in our con-
'Tersatlon. Occasionally that ahem! ,
"of his would come through the partially
opened door; but somehow his 'ahems'
seemed to lose their ominous character
during holidays. r
"The subject of our conversation was
a robbery that had been perpetrated at
Squire Little's store the previous
Aight.
Robberies, as you know, were un-
usual occurrences in the little village
of Acme. OF course this one furnished a
topic for abundance of talk.
Wherever we had been that day we
had found some groups of men and boys
&alklng about robberies in general, and
tthls one in particular.
g. 1t was but natural that in the even
ing we boys should discuss the same
subject, and each of us offered various
speculations as to who the robber was,
where he had gone, and whether he
would be captured or not.
Then we told stories of all the dar-
lug burglaries of which we had ever
heard or read, and finally described
such as had happened in our own houses.
In the descriptions of our personal
experiences Fred gave a glowing &C
eaonnt of an incident that had occurred
Nh his fathers family. One night he
SAID the coachman thought he saw a
man prowling in the chicken-yard He
fired pistol at him. and had summoned
the other servants to go in pursuit of
the robber. He told us how the brave
anen, armed with lanterns, pokers and
abiunderbusses, had reached the chicken
yard, and there found traces of blood.
which they followed up for few yards,
and found, lying in the last throes of
death, the victim of the coachman's
prowess-a fine black Spanish rooster!
cat length said I, What would you
do if you should hear burglar some
1 night trying to enter your house?

PEarB1NA, d. T., via st. Vincent, May 1O.-
This morning, at o'clock, lightning struck
the United States custom b )use building, burn
ing it to the ground. Documents, files and
blanks we're nearly all destroyed. The build
ing, owned by G. J. Brown, almost new, cost
50, 900. The second story was large hall, oc-
cupied by the Masons, who lost part of their
regalias and records Loss about 500. The
building adjoining, occupied by 9. J. Brown as
a saloon and billiard room, part of the contents
were saved. Loss not known. The United
States custom house moved into an old build
ing and will be ready for business soon. The
same current that struck the customs building
followed the telegraph line in the United
States signal Office, near by, completely de-
molishing the instruments. They are ready
for business again.
We had heavy rain for about two hours.
Farmers expect great benefit and wheat pros
poets are good. An effort is being made by st.
Vincent people to secure the United States Gus
toms building. Now that Congress is in ses-
sion it could be easily arranged. Although the
| loss to Pembina would be great the benefit to
st. Vincent and the traffic would be cores
pondingly great.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT CHICAGO.


OH1oAdo. May 10.-shortly before o'clock
this afternoon fire broke out OH Twenty second
street in Palmer Fullers lumber yard and
dry house which burned fiercoly until o'clock; /;
although then under control it will probably
burn the greater part of the night. The dry
house was completely destroyed, together with
six million feet of shingles and four million
of lumber. The proprietors give their loss
at 1852, 900, but as their estimate is based on
the selling price of the material it is probable
that more accurate estimate would be $780,
600. The total insurance is about
$4,000. of which amount the following
companies are the heaviest loosers:
Imperial, London, $1,000; Virginia,
of Richmond, Traders, of Chicago, and Rhode
Island, of Providence, $4,000 each; Fire asso-
Insurance company of Philadelphia, the Penn
sylvania Fire, and Springfield, of Massachu-
setts, 81, 500 each; Irving, of New York, $3.50;
Lacaisse, Generate, the Fire association of
Philadelphia Firemen's Fund, San Francisco,
Merchants of Cleveland, Orient of Hartford,
Manufacturers. OF Boston, Hoffman, OF New
York. Peoples, of Trenton, American Central,
of st. Louis, Lamar, of New York, and st. Jo-
seph, of Missouri 1000 each. Also another
in the Firemen's Fund of $3.50. Besides this
a number of companies are involved to smaller
amounts. About dozen cottages and
houses adjoining were burned. LOS6 eSG1-
mated at $1,000 to $40, 1000, and only partly in
sured.
FIRE AT EAST ST. LOUIS.
ST.. LOUIS, May 10.-A fire broke out in the
warehouse of Carruthers & Co., East st. Louis,
this afternoon and destroyed the building and
contents. Also the warehouse of Yocum & Co.
and the old passenger depot Of the Ohio & Mis-
sissippl Railroad company. These buildings
contained about 5000 barrels Of flour belong
ing to Keller Bros. and the Empire Milling
company, of this city, a large amount of gem
eral produce, buggies and carriages and wagon
material. There were also burned about a
dozen empty cars on the track of the Ohio &
Mississippi railway and some twenty-four cars
laden with hay and agricultural implements,
and thirty cars of coal. The value of the
property of Carruthers & Co.'s warehouse is be-
tween $4O, 900 and $50, 900, the total loss will
reach nearly 100000. A large amount of
property was insured, but the particulars can
not be given at this writing. Seven box cars
belonging to the Chicago & Alton railroad were
also burned.

BILLS REPORTED.
WASHINGTON May lO.-A bill was reported
from the committee revision Of laws and
passed, amending the law relating to writs of
prohibition and mandamus; also bill relating
to widows of pensioners of the war of 1912, so
as to give pensions to women who are second
time widows. Opposition was made to the lat
ter bill as being a change of the pension laws,
and, on motion of Mr.. Garfield, it was referred
to the pension committee. The bill prohibit
ing the presence of the military at places of
election was presented enrolled, signed by
the speaker, and sent for the signature of the
president pro tem of the Senate.
Mr.. Townshend, of Illinois, reported bill
repeating and amending certain sections of the
revised statutes, relating to the removal of
causes from State courts.
Mr.. Lcfevre offered resolution for the ap-
pointmcnt of select committee to take into
consideration such measures as might tend to
promote the agricultural interests of the coun-
try. Referred.
THE SILVER BILL.
At the expiration of the morning hour con-
sideration was resumed of the Warner silver
bill.
Mr. Kelley said it was not specially discredit-
able to him that he did not know the purp ose
of the law Of 1873 was to demonetize the stand
ard silver dollar, when neither the President,
who signed the BILL nor the members of his
cabinet were aware of it. He predicted that
the reconciliation of silver in the United
States and Europe would restore peace, order
and prosperity throughout the world.
Mr. Fisher inquired if his colleague desired
to be understood as advocating a single stand
ard, and that silver standard.
Mr. Kelley said he a thorough bi-metal-
lst. tic was ready to remonetizc silver at its
present rate, and make this country, as some
had remarked, great dumping ground for sill
In conclusion he called attention to the
nations Of the GARTH She had never expert
enced financial crisis since she had bi-me-
tallic standard, while the coming of the czar
was heralded by the tramp of armed Cossacks.
While England found herself in a position
where she must abandon all her financial theo-
ries or propose to tramplc down suffering labor
ing people, France remained in a prosperous
condition, an example to the poor benighted
countries in monetary matters on the cOnti-
nent, building up consolidated republic
which every body hoped and believed would be
an example to all the nations of Europe. ZAP
plause.)
Mr.. Reed said the question whether the
country should have single or double stand
ard was a serious one, and could not be dis
posed of by shout about fraud.
Mr.. Haskell gave the history of the act de-
monetizing silver to show there was no privacy
about it, but full publicity was given it in its
various stages.
MIR. Bowman opposed the bill, and predicted
that every who voted for it would be
promptly regelatcd to private life.
Several bills were introduced and referred
including the following: Relating to public
lands; for the appointment of Mississippi
river commissioner; for a reduction and re-
organization of the army. Adjourned.

WINNIPEG, May l0.-The military arrived at
section fifteen, last night, and arrested five
ringleaders Of the strikers. Attempts were
made by the strikers to rescue them, but they
did not come to blows with the military. The
rest of the strikers were armed with sticks and
revolvers The military showed bold front,
which probably accounts for there being no
collision. The riot act was read. The strikers
said all they wanted was their pay. Whitehead
assured them he would pay them to-day. The
men are brought off and sent on to Winnipeg as
fast us possible. A number are expected to-
night. The arrested ringleaders will also be
brought in. There is considerable excitement
in the city sensational telegrams sent in
