a turned-up nose;
His voice is loud and strident, and 1t new

His face is full of freckles. and MS ears
are shaped like fins,
And a large front tooth Is MISSING us

He is like comic picture, from MS toes

But his mother calls him darling wnen
she tucks him into bed.
It is he who marks the carpet with the
print of muddy boots;
And rejoices in door-bell that Is pulled
out by the roots.
Who whistles on his fingers till he almost
splits your ear,
And shocks the various callers with
slang he CHANGED to hear.
He fills the house with tumult and the
neighborhood with dread
But his mother calls him darling when
she tucks him into bed.

Fire.

About two O'Clock last Monday
morning a fire was discovered in
Liverton' restaurant on Church
street. Evidently it had been burning
for some time before it WAS discovered.
The interior Of the saloon was com
pletely destroyed, and the heat had
been so intense as to char the wood
work throughout the building and
break three or fonr large mirrors back
of the bar. A new concert phono-
graph costing 300 and piano were
among the losses.
The damage to stock and building
probably amount to $4,000.
How the fire originated is a mystery
The fact that 81 left in the cash regis
ter was gone leads Mr.. Liyerton to
think that it was set on fire
Our fire department WAS ont, but
a stream from the Union ping put out
the fire without calling the engines
into service.
