An elegant pipe ofpeace" was brought

made in oriental style. A meerscl,aum
bowl extends into an ornamented glass
reservoir which is to be partially filled

On Saturday last, about ten O'Clock,
while the housekeeper at w. j. S.
Trails farm house about mile from

rooms, she smelled smoke. At first, she
thought her dress was on fire but on
searching could not find any signs, she
then went to the kitchen and on OPEN
ing the door, found the whole room in a
blaze. Fortunately, quite number of
men, forming Mr.. Trails harvest crew,
were in q neighboling building taking
shelter from heavy shower. and thitlner
IAN the housekeeper with the alarm.
Before the men could get to the burning
house, the flames had gathered so much
head way that only such furniture as was
in the lower and main part of the house
C ould be saved.

who said, "WeIl Trail, misfortune never
