ort ef the Fire.

The newspapers Of the large cities
record, almost daily, some terrible con-
.flagration. Often they record, also, the
heroism of the flremen in their efforts
to save the life and property. Harper's
Round Table gives n graphic dcscrip-
tion of n fire in New York.
A great tcnement-h house was burning
like Underwood in one of the poorest
quarters OF the metropolis. The stairs
had gone up in smoke before everybody
had left the building, and even the fire
escape down the outside of the build
ing was cut off by the flames.
A girl Of IA or Is was frantically
%slrieking for help in II of the top
windows, and a mother was wringing
her hands in pitiful despair down in
the street. The chief called for volun-
teers to save the girl, and three me
came forward on the instant, without
hesitation and without waiting to count
their chances OF success. This is the
custom in such cases, for nc one would
take the responsibility of ordering u
fireman to his probable death.
A strong young fellow, who had yet
to win his spurs, was selected for the
task, and he disappeared quickly
through the doorway of the adjoining
building. When next the crowd saw
him he appeared at the window just
under the roof, and grasping the tin
cornice Of the burning building next to
him. he swung out into the air, and
made his way, hand over hand, for
thirty feet through the dense smoke
that rose in black clouds from the lower
windows 10 the sill where the girl had
been seen.
She had fallen back into the room
unconscious, and was overcome with
smoke by the time he reached her. A
thousand anxious faces in the street be-
low were tortured with fear for the
hero. A hundred muttered prayers went
up for his safety as the fireman disap-
peared into the black cloud, and q thou
sand threats sent up a lusty shout of
relief as he appeared again at the win
dow a moment later with the limp form
Of the girl in his arms.

The rapid progress that is being made
in the settlement of the fertile prair;cs
of Western Canada is leading to the in.

terested in having provision made for
those living in the crowded East, for
those who have been struggling for

up under the strain imposed by the
landlord, and for the farmer who. un-
able. to purchase farms for his sons in
his own neighborhood, has to look
around for lower priced lands. The in.
vestigation shows that it is impossible
to meet these conditions successfully
outside of Western Canada. Already
millions of bushels of wheat are being
grown there each year, While as many

Serious Accident.

Last Saturday, Ike Boson aud wife
met with painful and serious accident.
They were driving to town in a buggy,
to which was hitched ono horse, and
were leading two mules which he had
sold to Jim Lamassney. As they were
passing under the X, n & ID. trestlc
near W. ]. McMurray's farm, a train
passed over. This frightened the horse
and mules, and they jumped and made a
short turn, upsctting the buggy and
throwing Mr.. and Mrs Bolson to the
ground. One mule got loose, but the
horse and other mule ran into the creek,
where the water was deep. The mule
got tangled in the lines, and was drown
ed, but the horse got out safely. Alter
getting the horse and buggy out, Mr.
and Mrs Bolson came to town and
called on DR., Schoonover, who found
that Mr.. Bolson had sustained a scalp
wound, and Mrs. Bolson was badly
bruised, but neither was seriously hurt.
The mule which was drowned was
