Mr. Il. $. Ferguson is postmaster Of
Neapolis, and he and Mr.. S. H. Adams
room together. Tuesday night on retir-
ing they left burning in their room a
metal lamp. Some time during the night
the oil caught on fire and 1t and the
wick were entirely consumed The burn
ing Of the oil and wick created thick,
black smoke, and yesterday the room,
bedding, and articles of furniture appeared
as II SCOT had been sprinkled over them
through a fine sieve. The walls and
a.. ceiling were fringed and draped by webs
which had been formed by the smoke.
Neither occupant of the room was awak-
ened by the stiriing smoke. and the belief
Is had not one Of the windows 10 the
room been left open both would have
suffocated. When they awoke their faces
loked as though some one had entered
their room and blackened them with
paint or had tried to make burnt-cork
artists out OF them during their slumber.
Happily they have suffered no Ill effects
from the noxious smoke.
HEADQUARTERS.
The Democratic City Executive Com
mittee has at last entered en- work, and
have established headquarters. Canvass
ers are to be put out az once and a secre-
tary to be kept at headquarters. Much
hard work Is to be done by the day OF
election. and the committee has started
none too soon. Organizers for the Re-
publican party have been at work. and
while they have not used brass bands or
public speaking. their working has been
on the silent order.

My First names in chemical phrase
A boon TO humanity given;
Sometimes by skill Of man made.
Sometimes a free gift OF Heaven.
Ny Second is an article
In universal use.
Which not TO know in man or boy.
Admits OF no excuse.
The boys and girls made such Third
In their tumultuous play,
That scarce word could well be heard
OF what | wished to say.
My Whole was deemed a worthy foe
For any Christian knight
In the brave old days OF the long ago
When belted for the fight.
The Occident to Orient sent
Her chivalry on errand bent
To wrcst by might Of mailed hand
From Moslem sway the Holy Land.
