worked one py one rney We're overcome
by heat and taken away by the ambn-
lance. One hoseman was holding a
pipe on the east side, when suddenly he
threw up his hands and fell back IN
sensible. The monday sun poured
down on the multitude, and every few
minutes some one in the crowd was
overcome. The guards stationed near
the blaze stood the heat no better.
Many of them were compelled TO give
up their post. and they. too, were cared
for by the medical force.
Hotels Damaged.
The three or four hotels outside of
the grounds, on Stony Island avenue,
were on fire many times, and much
difficulty was experienced in fighting
the flames, as water was scarce, the
hydrants being taken up by those en-
gines playing on the conhagration
within. The fence for a distance of 300
or 400 feet was burned away, and out
side guard of Chicago police had been
stationed.
The Loss.
The warehouse, engines and ice-mak-
ing plant, which were the property Of
the Hercules Iron company of Chicago,
represented an expenditure of $500, 900.
There were four engines which cost
800, 900 each, operated by three immense
boilers, now exposed. The ice-making
machinery was turning out 10000 tons
of ice day. The building was consid-
cred dangerous and unsafe, and no in
surance companies would take the risk.
When the fire broke out there were 80
or go men and boys in the building as
employees of the company, but all es-
capped with the possible exception of one
boy, who is missing.
On the fifth floor were the ice skat-
ing-rink and cafe, both of which were
to have been opened in two days.
In the cold storage vaults were a
stock of vegetables, fruits, wines, liq-
uors, fruit and dairy products, valued
at $40, 900, all of which were DESTROYED.
Outside the grounds the loss was not
over $4,000.
Relief Fund.
When the extent of the calamity was
known subscription was at once
started for the benefit of the families of
the dead fremen. A huge box guarded
by some guards was placed in front of
the Philadelphia cafe, near the burned
structure, and the coin and bills were
soon fairly showered into the receptacle
by thousands Of people, who came from
all directions to place their contribu.
tions in as soon as it was known.

SOUTH CHARLESTON, o., July IL
Twenty-one years ago the remains Of
Miss Olive Harold were sent here from
Chicago for interment at the old grave
yard on the Harold farm. This week
her mother, Mrs. Margaret Harold,
arrived here from Chicago to take up
the bodies of those buried there and re.
move them to the cemetery here. She
had the coffin opened, and was surprised
to find the body as natural as the day of
the funeral, 21 years ago. Her features
were perfect and her hands perfectly
natural. Her clothes were not decayed
or spoiled in the least.

One way Of Keeping Accounts.

In a certain small New England
town, where everything is conducted
in the most primitive style, the man
who unites the calling of grocer,
provision dealer, iceman and plum
Der in one person has a somewhat
unique method Of keeping accounts.
He disdains a ledger, which he charac-
%terizes as "a muddlin, o~nnecessitous
continuance" and keeps all his ac-
counts with his customers in his a
rious lines of business on a pine board.
This board is planed off once in six
months, and a fresh account is started.
Bills are never supposed to run over,
and as everybody in town knows when
"planing day" comes around, and the
people are all honest and well to do,
this remarkable system seldom results
in complications.
One day, however, a citizen who had
been away for II few weeks walked in
to the little country store and offered
to settle his account.
~ reckon twas about a dollar, but
| amt plumb sure" remarked the
man, lingering a bill.
The storekeeper took out his pine
board and consulted its surface care
fully through his spectacles.
II cal'late you don't W me any
thing" he said at last, putting the
board back under the counter.
"Why, yes, l do" persisted the.
man. ~ bought a whole mess o.

o LET MOTHER DO IT.

Daughter, don't let mother do IL!

Daughter, Spn1t let mother do 1t!
Do not ietlier bake and broil,
Through the long, bright summer hours
Share with her the heavy toll.
See, her eye has lost its brightness,
Faded from her cheeks the glow,
And the step that once was buoyant,
Now is feeble, weak and slow.
Daughter, don't let mother do IL!
She has cared for you SO long;
Is 1t right, the weak and feeble
should be toiling for the strong?
waken from your ~listless languor,
Seek her side to cheer n bless,
And your grief will be less bitter
When the sods above her press.
Daughter, don't let mother do IL!
You will never, never know
What was home without a mother
Till that mother lieth low
Low beneath the budding daisies,
Free from earthly care or pain
To the home so sad without her,
Never to return again.

Sound Philosophy.

The recent county fair in New Eng
land there was, according to the reports
in the local newspapers, a continual
crowd around one agricultural exhibit,
which excited a great deal of admira-
ton, and was the occasion of many re
marks. The exhibit was marked:
RAISED ON an Abandoned Farm"
The articles shown were grown by n
man, who had formerly followed an
other occupation, upon a farm in a
rough hill town, which its owner had
found an undesirable piece of property
and had practically deserted. The ex-
hibit included twenty-five varieties of
potatoes, several varieties of wheat,
oats, barley, rye and beans, onions,
pumpkins, squashes, melons, beets,
carrots and turnips. ut was such a
display" the local paper says. "as
might be made by a carefully attended
farm, with all the advantages of cult
vation." The people kept the proprie.
tor of the abandoned farm busy ex.
planning how he produced such won
derful results. His reply was that he
took delight in farming, and did tn,
best he could. "Oh yes" said one by
stander, somewhat contemptuously
"he's farming for the love of it.
"And l imagine" said another by
stander, that if the farmer who ha,
. the place before this man took it ha,
farmed q little more for the love of il
!, he wouldn't have had any occasion t
: 90 off and leave it," There was SCUM,
: philosophy in this remark. Many a
= abandoned farm" If its true histor
were well know, would be found to b
deserted simply because the owner di
not enter with zest upon the wor
. needed to make it profitable. He di
! not know how, and was too indoler
4 to learn; or he knew, and was too il
- different to adopt the means necessar
TO insure success. An enthusia
might make a rocky pasture yield hi
a a living, while a lazy man migl
n starve upon the richest soil.

Completely UprOOted.

How many remedies there are which
merely relieve without %uprooting dis
eases. The contrast with sterling
medicines which such palliatives af-
ford, not only enhances the dignity of
the former, but serves to emphasize
the folly of employing half way
measures when thorough ones are
available. A marked instance of this
is the effect, on the one hand, of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters,in case of chills
and fever and bilious remittent, and
on the other of ordinary remedies in
maladies of this type. BY the Bitters,
malarial complaint in every stage, and
of the most malignant type, are com.
pletely conquered and lose their hold
upon the system. They are rarely, il
ever, dislodged by the ordinary re
sources of medicine, although theil
symptoms may unquestionable bt
mitigated through such mean The
same holds good of indigestion, bilious
ness, kidney complaint, rheumatism
nervousness and debility. BY the Bit
ters they are cured when many RENE
dies fail.
