False Alarm.

The fire alarm from the Third war d
Friday afternoon created considerable
excitement on the streets. The depart
ment responded in short order but had
hardly got a block from the fire house
when they were ordered bac k. TIL
cause of the alarm was a burning
manure pile near the old West Hotel
barn which is thought TO have been set
by some children while at play. In an
incredibly short time after the tire
alarm several hundred people were on
the street and at the scene OF the fire
and ii was "A common remark, better
turn out to a dozen false alarms than
have to fight one fire.

at the popular resort. On arriving we

Maynard cottage, named presumab ly
after Maynard, where we were CUES Is
Tor the evening. The hosts at the Rest
were Mr.. and Mrs, Maynard and family
and Miss Lawyer, who recent,yreturned

to the refreshments, dispersed to their
respective abodes, Mrs. Baker accepting
the hospitality OF the Peabody cottage
and the writer the Taylor Hotel, where
we found thedelightful accommodation $
for which the place is noted.
Sunday morning DR.. and Mrs. Pea
body, Mrs. Baker and narrator made a
tour OF the lake in the launch and we
rise to remark that's just the kind OF
rowing we enjoy most, where you press
the button and the machine does the
rest. The remainder OF the day was
whiled away in the usual fashion of re-
s~orters, the evening was ~enioyably
spent by the cottagers Oh the screen in
closed veranda of the Peabody cottage
when another foreign trip was taken,
figuratively speaking, under leadership
OF Miss Lawyer.
Early in the day aiolly party of Siss e.
ton young people, arrived who were out
for a days pleasure and if they did not
find one, appearances are very deceitful.
We met Howard Babcock and wife OF
Sisseton, who, with their children,
had spent the week at the Park, CUES is
OF the hotel. They are delighted with
| place and surroundings.
Mrs. Finlay Ross and children are oc-
cupying the Ross cottage and the little
| folks are just more than having a good
time.
On out tour of the lake We landed at
| the north end and found a Langford
party camped there, among whom were
Mr.. and Mrs. W. X. VanBruntand fami-
ly, old Iowa friends OF the writer.

A Very PuzZling Question.

The master of certain school in
Il village in Spain bore the rcputa-
ton Of being Il very clever calcu-
Iator, but upon one occasion he al
most forfeited his reputation. The
rector of the parish and the AL
caldc. on certain occasion, paid a
visit to the school to inspect the
progress of the children. a little
rogue Of whom no question had
asked, and who had therefore
missed the opportunity for distin-
gushing himself, which he greatly
desired, made up his mind TO qucs-
ton, since he was not questioned.
'Nlastcr," said he, evil you do
me the kindness to answcrmc some
thing?' "Ask whatever you
plcasc,' replied the master; ''you
know always tell you to ask any
thing you do not know. He who
asks makes 10 mistake" " "My
Father is three times my age. Will
the time ever come when he will be
twice mincT' "That is not a que
ton" said the master; sit is
joke. To bring that about the
clock must stop for him and 90 on
Tor you.' "But it is quite posi-
blc,' continued the child. "Si-
lcncc, impertinent little fcllow!"
cried the angry master, who only
spared the rod out Of respect to the
visitors. These gentlemen looked
with little appreciation upon lad
who tried to puzzle the best calcu-
lator in Biscay, and obstinatcly
maintained a proposition which ap-
pcarcd to them as absurd as it did
to the master. 81 will provc," said
the child, "that what | say is true.
| am twelve years old, my father is
thirty-six. In twelve years I shall
be twcnty-four and my father forty
eight. Consequently my father,
who is now three times my age,
will then onl y be its DOUBLE" The
master became whittier than the
walls Of his room, and his visitors
burst into peals Of laughter.

All Ways Of Love.

Thou askcst how | love thee? every way;
lluinbly rs some poor minstrel low and
bare.
But nobly 10y his passion, even may
dare
To love his queen, and WOO her in his lay;
And hcrcc.y, as the tiger loves his prey,
Or like young pclicaus that rcnd their
li(r-blood there,
Ruthless, thongh her that gives them life
they slay;
Aud proudly, a the poet loves his song,
With ardent ycaruing, like his love If
fame;
With reverence, like his love ofpocsy;
AS life loves breath, as love loves kisses
long;
AS stars love shining, as the fire loves
flame;
But most as man loves woman, love
thee.

will suffer him to change; His
