In just an hour after the fire started the
walls fell in and there was nothing to
mark the place whore the building stood
but Il pile Of brick.
1t was thought that it might he possible
to save the Peck building adjoining tha
hotel on the south but the wind changed
to that direction and the cornice and then
an outside stairway and the roof caught

wood work and went downwards into
the dry goods store of John Powell and
the furniture store of O. A. Peck. The
stock in the Powell store was completely

seemed great danger to other buildings
on the south and the trustees becoming
afraid shat the fire department could not

Whitehall. That town responded b.,
sending an engine and two hose carts on

by that time the fire was almost under

Care OF Rubber Tires.

Do not ride tires flat. A few miles Of
such treatment will damage them more
than full seasons riding. Tires should
not be soft unless you want them to wear
out by chatting on the rims, or have the
inner tube cut by pounding against the
spoke heads. Use care in handling the
valves of your tires. Do not treat them
roughly by screwing in the pump in a
hurry. Keep them free from dirt and dust
on the inside. II valve does not work
we'll pump drop of water through it. Nc
particular care need be given the rubber.
All rubber will wear out in time, particu.
larry in this climate, but It isnot materially
injured by weather, dirt or water. 1t Is
well, however, to keep 1t clean from oil
and grease, as both will rot rubber. The
Pacific Cycle Co. give all purehaserSot
the 90 model Sterling bicycle an option on
any tire in the market, sI4 Palmer tires
included.

Points of Special Interest.
In spite Of what has been said above
as TO the comparative lack of interest of
this play for the general reader, there
are few comedies of Shakespeare's that
will better repay a close and sympathetic
study than Loves Labors Lost 1t is
a play of beginnings, and we may see in
1t the art of Shakespeare in the germ, or
rather in bud just unfolding, sweet in
itself, and full of glorious promise It is
play of youth; the young king, the
young princess the young amorous lords
and ladies dominate the scenes. And in
the flash and parry of the weapons Of
young wit we catch the mind of the
young poet. And it is a play in which
the personality of the author shines out
through the thin veil of the hero. and we
see, If not exactly Shakespeare himself,
Shakespeare as he wished himself to ap-
pear in the eyes of his mistress.
Shakespeare's Art in the Play.
The dramatic art shown in the con-
struction of the plot is of the very slight
est. The story, drawn no one knows
whence, is a mere peg on which to hang
a spangled robe of wit and poetry. A
King of Navarro decides to turn his court
into a little Academe. He and his fol-
lowers take vows to study hard, to sleep
little, to fast often and above all to shun
the society of women, in order that they
may drink deep of the delights of learn
ing and earn in their lives the fame that
shall Tive registered upon their brazen
tombs." But the best laid schemes, even
of a studious King and his bookmates,
gang aft agley." A Princess of France
comes upon the scene with her ladies, as
an ambassadress from her old father. OF
mere necessity the late-made vows are
