We live beside each other day by day
And speak OF myriad things and seldom say
The full, sweet word that lies just in our rea5h

For weak and poor the love that we express
Now serms beside the vast, sweet unexpressed,
And slight the deeds we did to those uudone,
And small the service spent TO treasures won,
And undescryed the praise for word and deed
That should have overlooked the simple need.
This is the cruel cross Of life, to be
Full visiOned only when the ministry
OF death has been fulfilled, and ia the place
OF some dear presence is but empty space,
What recollected service e'er can laen

The most disastrous, and, in fact, the
only serious fire that has ever occurred in
Warner, broke out at about 2 AS o'clock
Monday morning in the building owned by
), l. hanson and -oeSafiie14 - Z Z E Y His
as a general store and by VIM. Gardper as
a harness shop. The origin Of tae fire is
a mystery, but it was probably caused by
a defective aue. All that is known about
it Is that VIM. Gardner, who sleeps in the
store and covers his head with the clothes,
says be suddenly awoke and found the
room filed with flames and smoke. He
jumped up completely dazed, threw .
stool through q front window, sprang
through the hole and ran in his under
clothes TO the Foster house to ring the
alarm. This aroused the citizens, but
when they reached the scene the build
ing was so filed with flames that no one
dared venture inside aud nothing what
ever was saved. The fire then communi.
Gated to Ablin's billiard hall, which was
quickly consumed, but not until the con-
tents had been removed. Fred Fishers
lumber office was the next to 60, aud
lastly the Germania house went up in
smoke. From the two latter buildings
nearly all the contents were fefdoved.
II Il. Willis store building on the oppo-
site side of Main street was saved only by
heroic effort, the flames at one time leap
ing clear across the street and e~nveloping
the building The fire lasted about an
hour and d half only and burned every
thing clean, nothing but ashes being left
not eve a chimney or standing piece of
timber remaining to mark the scene. The
top Of Fishers hay scales was burned
away ana the brass weigh beam was
melted. The town pump was also sacri-
feed. Had it not been for the unusually
large amount of snow lying upon the adj.
joining roofs, every building south 81
Main street would surely have been
burned, d large pieces Of burning shin
giles were carried three blocks south and
lodged everywhere as thick as hail. The
loss Is about as follows Fred Fisher.
