possibilities, and touching upon all
sides of the many important questions
which confront us as a nation-then

What might have been serious con-
Migration. Saturday night, was lucki-
ly discovered by the quick ear of Tom
Condor. clerk for G.. =. Morse. In the
room above the store. used as the
making room is coal stove and
around this was stacked up some 1000
cigars of private brands. During the
evening the stove became overheated
and the infammable material of which
the boxes are made soon ignited. They
smouldered away for some time and
fell over on the floor. This Mr.. Condor
heard and at once investigated. When
he opened the door volume of smoke
drove him back for a minute. but he
seized a pail of water and forced his
way in. This with a little help soon
put out the flames and no one knew
anything about it. as it was then after
II o'clock. If the fire had not been
checked as it was, it probably would
nave been bad mess for a short time
as the building is not over and above
fire proof. The damage was about $780,
wholly to stock the loss being covered
by insurance.

or looks appetizing. He grumbles at his
wife, or the cook, or the landlord, or the
landlady, or the waiter, as the case may
be. People say that he has "a finicky
appetite " and let it 60 at that. The fact
IS that the man is in precarious con-
dition and, If he continues to neglect his
health, is candidate for consumption or
some equally terrible malady.
If a man doesn't wish to "dine with
