Sunday Evening Episode

Last Sunday evening an attractive
widow and her two attractive daughters
entertained their gallants at their farm
residence, in the country, several miles
from Bourbon. While the hours were
passing heedlessly away danger was
brewing overhead for in some way a
fire started in one of the upper rooms
where the wardrobe was kept. The
smell OF smoke soon warned them of
the mischief but too late to save the
bulk of the ladies' clothing. The brave
beaux, however, worked like Spartans
and through their combined efforts
saved the house.
