as far as fire protection is con

our lovely village occurred last
Sunday night at Tom Moore's
place of business. How the fire
originated is ii conumdrum to the

have started early in the morn

above the floor of the room of
said place: calling out the newly
organized fire department, which
did splendid work under the
leadership of Emil Birkle with
his engineer Victor Johnson.
After the fire was extinsuished

less than IS an acre in labor and cash

bility, the effect will be not to put down
American securities but to make them SO
sought for by foreign investors as to adj
vance them instead for the reason that
this country is so far removed from the
contest and less likely to be involved than
any other, thereby making investments In
this country safer than any other While
the war lasts The war can hardly be
very protracted affair; and for that rea-
son ii is not probable that the Interrupt
ton of the African gold supply will pre-
cipitate any really acute financial results.
And, in any event, We are having large
current increase in our home output,
while the current Klondike supply Is

as this country is concerned, the stock
of gold far exceeds all precedent, and we
could we'll afford to take securities IN"
stead of cash in settlement of any cred
ttor balance in our foreign trade. There
is every probability of such balance
accruing through the next six months;
and that factor will protect us from at
tempts to compensate European dencleh'
cies from our resources of the metal.
Taking the stock exchange situation as

removal of the money stringency TOT

VIGILANT SENTRY.
Plight of an Official Who Had For
gotten the Password

London Mail
Henry kirke, formerly an official in
British Guinea, high in the colonial serv-
ice, relates an adventure the comedy of
which might at any moment have turned
to tragedy. 1t was at time Of serious
disturbances in the colony. Riotiag had
occurred near one of the larger cittes.
and every precaution had been taken
against fresh outbreak. Mr.. Kirke
had issued a password and a counter,
sign, and the sentries received strict or
ders to shoot any one who ATTEMPTED to
pass without giving the word.
That night, says Mr. Kirke, I had been
dining out of town, and was returning
cheerfully to my quarters about Ii
o'clock, when 1 was suddenly confronted
by black sentry, who brought his rife
down to the order, and cried out:
who go dere?"
I was somewhat startled, for T had
forgotten the sentries, and, what was OF
much more Importance, l had forgotten
the password. I knew that the sent,ies
were picked men, generally Africans who
had served in some West Indian regi-
ment, and who were noted for thsir
strict obedience to orders. So I knew
that if this sentry had been ordered to
shoot any one attempting to pass without
giving the word he would do So
/ attempted to temporize.
Look here, my man." I said you
know me-
What de word?" shouted the sentry,
rafting his arm. That was just what
l wanted to know.
l heard the man cock his rifle. and
knew he would let drive in another
minute; so I made an undignified strate-
gic movement to the rear, so as to place
the inspectors house, which God near,
between me and the enemy.
Satisfied by this maneuver that I was
a dangerous character, the sentry began
to stalk me round the building, w tn his
gun ready for action.
The instant l got round the corner
of the inspectors house I boited I'D thu
steps and broke in upon the as oni h d
inspector just as he was getting into
bed.
l explained my dilemma, and he gave
me the password. Then, approaching
the window, L peeped out very cautious
ly toward my friend who was Yr3wling
round the house to have a pct shot al
me. l shouted the word to him. and
later, when | went out with the inspector.
l explained the circumstances of the case
gave him shillings, and told him he
was a first-rate sentry.

At the time Of writing war between

the event has been attended with little
