A crusty bachelor editor puts the
following very impertinent queries
Among all the sweet girl graduates
who are turned loose on the world
this summer, how many are fitted for
wives and mothers ? How many,
with all the prizes and honors they
have won, can cook meal for hu-
man being to eat? Out of the num-
Der, how many will have to sling the

FIRE !
MIR. spencer's Residence Destroyed
Sunday Evening.

Mr.. Spencer's Residence Destroyed
Sunday Evening.
About dusk last Sunday night an
alarm of fire startled our people,
and on going into the street it was
discovered that the residence of A. J.
spencer was in flames, with no hope
of saving it from entire destruction.
1t was fortunate for the town that an
almost dead calm prevailed at the
time, and what little wind was NOV
ing was in the right direction to save
adjacent buildings. The fire origin
ated by Mr.. Spencer's little daugh-
Ter. Mabel, lighting a candle, which
communicated with window curtain
and started the blaze. No one else
was in the house at the time, and the
child tried TO extinguish the flames
by throwing water on 1t with a DIP
per. Failing III this, she ran out aud
told her mother, who vas standing
IN front of d neighbours door, thai the
house was on fire. Mrs. Spencer
then ran To the house and gave the
alarm. she was soon joined by Mr.
Stockle, who saw al once the house
could not be saved, and started in to
remove some yaluables. One trunk,
winch contained little or nothing of
value, as all that could be got out,
The ire spreading so rapidly that Mr..
Stockle had 10 assist Mrs. spencer to
escape through a window. Forum
ately the lady escaped unhurt, though
Mr.. Stockle had his right hand pretty
severely burned. BY this time most
of our citizens had repaired to the
scene, but all that could be done was
to protect the adjacent buildings and
see that the large sparks that were
carried down town aid no harm. Ef-
forts were also made, and with sue
cess, 10 fell III the sides of the burn
ing building and thus break the force
of the flames. Ia twenty minutes the
building with all its contents was in
ashes. The family lost, besides their
house and furniture, all their cloth
ing, except what they wore at the
! time, which in these dull times is
heavy loss TO them. 1t Was fortunate
that none of the younger children
were in the house when the fire broke
out. Mr.. and Mrs. Spencer have the
sympathy OF the community IN the
loss they have sustained.
