Pate dc .foie grds is one of the neces-
sary dishes at the "way up" tea par

1t was little amusing to see that
prominent citizen calling out at the
top of his voice to the frightened peo-

strength and propose TO begin their
new church building as soon as the
weather will permit.
The music by the Moran orchestra
has had the effect of arousing in some
OF our own musicians desire for sim
liar organization here. There is Ger
tainly plenty of material here for a
good orchestra, and We hope those
having the matter in mind will carry

accident which happened recently on

Church-goers on last Sabbath morn
ing were startled by the cry Of Fire"
1t proved to be a fue Burning out at
W. A. Cowan's dwelling Prompt
efforts prevented the fire frona making
any head way, and 10 damage result |
ed except that to carpets and furniture
from the water. While we are being
let off with little scares Of this kind is
it not time to prepare for something
more serious? If the city fathers are
too economical TO make the necessary
appropriation for hook and ladder out |

again. Since then they have been
nursing their detection In silence, but /
now they have again plucked up cour-
age and are going to try it once more.
