Mrs I'oddlc looked the thanks she
seemed too weak to express in words,
as Uncle BILLY hurried away. Dr.
Sampson went below to smoke pipe,
leaving Aunt Easter with the sick
woman.
"Easter," said Mrs. lhoddlc, after q
long silence, 'sccms as ii another plate

DR. Sampson and Aunt Easter, be-
low, heard shrill cry over their hoads.
"Firel Firel Fire! II-e-l-pl Muir
dcrl F-i-r-cr'
The tones were so shrill, strong aud
startling, that the two, utterly mysti-
fed, ran upstairs to find Mrs Boddlc
with wrapper thrown loosely on,
striding about the upper rooms rs Wig

The doctor, though greatly startled,
proceeded to lug down the furniture.
Aunt Easter stood as if paralyzcd at
first then she actually grinned as she
hurried away. Meanwhile Mrs Boddle
was throwing bedding and clothing
from the windows, and making frantic
attempts to discover where the flames
were located, and also shouting con-
tinuously to the full extent of what

pronounced vices, and was thought to be
licvc that his wife was the most perfect

The gossips about Swallowfork Flats
said that:
"Unclc Billy was good-too alfred

man walters eontentedly through life
believing that black is white Just be-
cause his wife tells him so, his friends
can't help wishing he had something in

And yet Uncle Billy's intentions
were always of the best II he chose
to make himself the slave OF Mrs Bod

to be Il family rather than public af-

to see man so augclically befooled

son said it was plump wonder the
way he pullSU nCr through.
Probably the doctor had his private
opinion but as Mrs Nodtlle had been
for years most profita bic patient, it
was not to his interest to make light of
the many complicated disorders with
which that astutc woman declared her
self afflicted from time to time Of
course Unclc Billy's friends could only
hint their opinions delicatcly. But

Sad Death.

1t Is seldom we are called upon to
announce a death where the condi.
tiOns make 1t so sad as that OF Mrs.
Martin Flatner, who died on Tuesday
afternoon, the 18th inst.
Two short weeks ago Mrs. Flatner
was In comparatively good heath.
She gave birth to q girl baby on the
9th inst. and was getting along we'll
until Sunday, when she seemed to get
a relapse, from which she died as
above stated.
She leaves to her bereaved husband
u legacy Of six children, the oldest Of
which is Is years and the youngest
s days. She was superior lady in
many respects, loved by all who knew
her. We sincerely sympathize with
Mr.. Flatner In his irreparable loss.
Last weeks Sun announced the joy
at the increase to the happy family,
today the family is separated by the
fell destroyer, and sunk in gloom.
What q short step is the transition
from Joy to sorrow.
The remains were followed to the
grave today by large cOncourse Of
mourning friends.

While the surrounding towns are
getting in water works or artesian
wells, Morris should at least afford
two common wells, one on each side
of the railroad track. We have but
one for the entire town, 80 that half
the people of the village are obliged
to bring their stock across the track
to water. For watering stock, or to
extinguish fire, there is absolutely no
water on the west side of the town.
One tank was built at 9th st. and

this spring it was filed up with
