 awoke Mrs Merwin and she aroused the others, but too late to save the building. The neighbo~s all turned out and worked with will by throwing pails of water on the house which was saved. But it was a close call for both house and barn.

A SOAP STORY WITH A MORAL.

A man calling himself J. W. Wells of Easton has been in Hawleyville and the southern part of Brookfield selling soap which he claimed was of his own manu- facture. He carried a sample of very good looking soap in his pocket, offering IS bars or pieces for $l. He would throw in IS more, making 36 in all. He carried his goods in his carriage with him. On opening the box the soap proved to be of very recent manufacture-so recent it would stick to the hands if handled. With knife he cut the contents of the box into 36 pieces which, when as dry s the sample, would hardly be one-uhird it's size. The purchasers generally did not like the soap trade but the rubber mat which was to be delivered March did the business. The money was paid and the glib tongued soap peddler for got to come around with the mats March 5, and the victims don't like to hear soap and rubber mats spoken of in any con- nection whatever. He did very good business in the territory mentioned.
 Moral-When dealing with strangers don't pay your money until you get all the goods promised.

an out and out English beauty, and so
the debut of the 1S-year-Old daughter
of the Duke of st. Adams promises to
be followed by no end of triumphs for
that eXquisitely pretty girl. Not since
the Jersey Lily sInote society, hip and

sensation been made as Lady MOyra
Beauclerk occasioned at the last draw

ones have had it much their own way
in London for several years, but now
loyal Britons are bowling down TO one

loud millions, must sing small VIII
