 Explosion Follows.
 ASHLAND, Wis, July 5.-Three fire men met death during the morning in the burning of the two-thousand ton steamer Iron King and a portion of the Columbus x Hooking Company's dock.

You were down stairs, busy, so don't look shocked at me. It IS no flo. You weren't up stairs, and you weren't idle. In that I was right, Miss Chester, as in most things-save the mark !"
 Lima had smiled with sudden glad ness when she saw Miss Castillain sit ting in her room but before she had taken of her hat the short-lived bright ness had vanished from her face, and 1t was pale with pallor which frightened Marjorie.

 Margaret was glad enough to go back to the servants hall, I know" she said, "for she idolizes the twin canaries.

 A few days ago Tptwiler heard great commotion among, the chickens in his yard. He went out to investigate and saw small chicken being slowly drawn into hole in the ground Some invis- ible reptile had caught the chicken by one leg and was drawing it into the hole in spite of it's desperate struggles.
 Tutwiler approached, and looking down in the hole discovered an i'm mense black spider He punched it with stick and compelled it to release the chicken. He then dug the spider out of its den and placed it in 8 jar of alcohol It lived an hour after being placed in the jar. When dead the spider was taken out, weighed and measured.

Tit for Tat.


 It is never wise to intrude ones prej- udices upon the general public, since there is everywhere some one capable of taking up such prejudices and turn ing them to ridicule. Nowhere is this more true than in the case of stran- gers in country towns, for nowhere does ready wit find expression more freely than under such circumstances.
 It is related that there formerly lived in Boston lawyer named Radcliffe, who was famous in his circle for his skepticism and his hatred of religious things. One time this MT. Radcliffe had occasion to go to St. Albans, Vt, to take testimony in a law case in which he was engaged. He amused himself during the proceedings by con- tinuany alluding to the town as "A- bans" instead of St. Albans.
 Presently one of the local lawyers present asked, "Why do you call this place sAlbansp"
 Because I don't like saints," said MT. Radcliffe.
 "Ohl" -.
 Nothing more was said on the sub iect, but by and by, the work being completed, the Boston lawyer rose to take his departure.
 "Goo i-by, gentlemen" he said to the three or four St. Albans men who were present. ...... .r. .....
 "Good-by, MT. Cliffew they all an swered. .-.-.. ......... ....r

DIVIDED.

If thou vert by my side, dear love, And could walk with thee, The path unto the mountain crest No toll would seem to me. But now my feet walk wearily, And heavy arc mine eyes, And dread and dark tho winding way That leadeth to the skies Yet if thou vert beside me, love, My hand within thine own, Perchance my weight would hold thee back, Tho thou canst win alone. Thou mightest stumble, following me; Or lettering by the way, Seeking the sweets and flowers, my feet Might tempt thine own to stray, But now by different paths, my love, We seek the self same goal, So far apart no check am No hindrance to thy soul. And tho my heart doth ache for thee My lips for thy fps long, see thee toiling upward sttll And hush my pain with song. And when upon the mountain crest We stand where souls are free, The bliss that doth elude us now Must come to thee and me. Not ono brief thrill of joy, of pain One nnfe, in tears to end, But an eternal crown of love, When soul with soul shah blend.
