the highest and lowest points reached in each

| Monday evening the house of Mrs. Sears
NickersOn in East Belfast was discovered to
be on fire and passers-by went in and saved
the buildings with great difficulty Mrs
f, Nickerson was at Christmas tree at the
Union school house, and left no fires in the
house when she went out The fire was in
a bed and about the door leading from the
bedroom to the kitchen. The walls and
ceiling were considerably smoked, the finish
was charred and window was broken by
the heat. The fact that the clock is missing
leads to the belief that the fire was incendia-
ry, and probably other articles were taken

''LITTLE ONES MADE HAPPY AT THE
| REVERE House, Through the efforts of
Mr.. and Mrs. f. A. Jones and Mrs. c. Her.
vey IIowes, twelve little ones, the children
of the employees at the Revere House, were
made very happy Tuesday. Mr.. F. A. Jones
had prepared a dinner for the children, and
| could the readers of The Journal have seen
the expressions on those little faces as they
sat at the bountiful table they would join
with the writer in saying that ''life is worth
the living" Mrs. Jones and Mrs Howes had
decorated a Christmas tree for the children,
and each one found that Santa Claus had
been generous with his gifts. The guests
of the hotel donated their little mite, and
the writer ventures to say that there are
| twelve little children who will never forget
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Howes, and the
| Christmas dinner of 1900 at the Revere
| House.
