A QUESTION OF SPELLING.

OrthographicaI Errors Spoil q Good Mans
Temper.
Some time ago a colored man hung
out a sign on his house which read,
"For Sail"
He happened to be at the gate when a
white man came along and said:
You'll never get an offer for your
house with any such spelling as that"
The owner Of the place was greatly
puzzled to improve the photography,
but finally took his wife's advice and
made 1t read, For Sell"
This seemed to be all right for a day
or two, and then a schoolboy halted and
said:
"If you don't fix that sign, all the
children will be laughing at you"
There was another convention of the
family to see where the mistake came
in, and the sign was made to read, Fur
Sail"
1t had not been up an hour when an
old colored man came along and queried:
docs you mean dat dis place am fur
Sally? What yer gwine ter glib de place
to Sally fur?"
cam you findin fault wild dat sign?"
asked the other.
"Well, l doan' quite cotch on to de

"No, sah."

A Little Fire.

Last Wednesday forenoon, about
10 80 o'clock a cloud of smoke was no.
ticed pouring from the roof of Peter
Rush's residence, and an alarm was
turned in from the hose house. The
volunteer department gave a quick re-
Spouse and was soon on the ground with
No. 2 hose cart, and an equipment of
ladders and tools. The fire had not
progressed so far as to require the hose,
and a little careful work with buckets
soon had the flames in check. But not
until the east slope of the roof had been
burned so badly as to require rebuild
ing. The fire originated from u de-
fective tlue.
Chas. Warmbrod's sleigh drew the
hose cart to the scene of the fire.
Upon arriving at the place, Chief
Mills took charge and directed the work
The furniture was all carefully carried
out to the yard, to prevent damage from
water. Meanwhile a small force was on
the roof working with axes and buckets.
The loft was so full of smoke that no
n could work from below, but after a
few minutes the danger was over.
There was little damage or destruct-
ion of property at this fire, and the de-
partment was commended for Its
promptitude and effective work.
