TOWN QUICKLY REBUILT.
Il Was Destroyed by Fire Last June
and Already Is Re-
placed,

The village of Virginia, near Duluth,
Mimi, was destroyed by fire June
this year. All the business portion was
swept away and 300 buildings were
burned. Since that time the village has
been twice rebuilt, and it has now
business section of solid brick, extend
ing for half mile along the main
street. Immediately after the fire
upon every lot that had contained
building there sprang up mushroom
growth of wooden temporary struc-
lures. Families lived in box cars along
the railroad track, single cars accom-
medating an entire family with all its
furniture, from a sewing machine to
piano. The depot was in box car, and
cloth Enclosures served as both dwell
ings and places of business, says the
Boston Transcript.
AS soon as the men and material
could be secured the wooden huts were
torn down and permanent brick build
tngs began to take their place. Now,
four months after the fire, there are
over 5000 feet of solid brick buildings
of two and three stories completed or
nearly so. There is not a wooden
building on the main street. A hand
some theater, called, of course, opera
house." capable of seating 700 persons,
has been completed; a club for the So
cial wants of mining engineers, bust
ness men and their visitors has been
organized and a house for it erected.
The best hotel north of Duluth is under
way, and the village is putting in all
the newest conveniences of civilization.
An iron mine has been discovered under
the town and is being opened. The Vir'
ginia of to-day is very different from
that of four months ago. 1t is an ex"
cellent example of western hustle.

THE ETHICS OF GAMBLING.
She Knew That 1t Was Not Right L
Make a Bet on a Ger
tainty.

"Woman," remarked Mr.. Gooseling,
of Georgetown, relates the Washington
Star, lis Heavens best gift to man, but
whether it means a married woman or
not, / am not so certain. Now, there's
my wife; I've known a great many
women in my time, and l don't think
I'd be willing to change her for any|
woman l ever met, saw or heard Of
We've been married 20 years, and in al
that time we've never had cross word
that we didn't get disposed of someJ
how before we had many more. It's
the only way to get along with a wom-
an. I'd rather yield dozen times day
than to eat the kind of a meal my wife
can have brought on the table when
she's mind to. I'm willing to make
as many concessions as the next man,
but l really think there is limit that
any reasonable woman ought to OBJ
serve. Not that my wife is not as rea-
sonable as any other married woman,
mind you, for she is. But there are
times when she makes me doubt the
strict accuracy of the time-honored
maxim I have quoted. Now, for in
stance, the other day was doing some
thing or other around the house, like
a man has a right to do on his own
premises, and, just as men sometimes
do, put my finger where had no bust
ness to, and hit it lick with the ham,
mer.
"'Well,' said to myself, though my
wife was sewing by the window on the
other side of the room, I'll bet I'm the
biggest darn fool in ten states
"All of which l had perfect right to
say, but my wife looks up from her
work, and says she.
William says she, don't you know
enough about the ethics of gambling to
know that you have no right to bet on
eertainty|
That's what she said, and under the
what on earth could
say but nothing, and that's what 1 said.
But hit that nail lick with the ham
mer that drove it clear in over it's head
and broke a pane of glass that cost
dollar to replace"

RABBIT AND CAT CHUMMY.
The Singular Friendship That EX-
lists Between Two Denver
Animals.

Dogs and cats have been known to
become fast friends, but for a cat and
rabbit to become inseparable compan-
ions is out of the ordinary. r. II. Jones,
of this city, has rabbit and cat which
are boon companions, says the Denver
Republican.
The rabbit belonged to neighbor of
Jones. One day it strayed into the
Jones yard and got acquainted with the
cat. The admiration was mutual. They
became the best of friends, and from
the minute the rabbit met the cat it
has not been to its own home. For
more than year the two have been
together, eating from the same dish
and sleeping together in a box in the
rear of the yard. The cat will not play
with other cats, but makes a compan-
ion only of the rabbit. They romp
about the yard together and now and
then the cat will climb tree.
The dogs of the neighborhood have
learned to keep out of the Jones yard.
For one to come into the yard and APP
proach the rabbit is canine suicide. The
cat bristles up at once and makes it so
for the intruder that he is
always glad to scale the fence and get
in the street.

A Merry Old Hen.

Mrs. r. King is the owner of a cour-

descript breed that she wouldn't trade

says the Weston (Ore.) Leader. 1t is
the only hen in Oregon, perhaps in the
United States, that ever fought and
killed a hawk. The battle occurred a
few days ago, when a chicken hawk
swooped down upon a band of baby
fowls of which the old hen was the
mother. The hen didn't squawk and
run, calling upon her offspring to fol-
low her, but with a fierce and well-di-
rected peck buried her bill beneath the
hawks left wing. 1t was a solar plexus
blow and a clean knockout. The hawk
seemed surprised and dazed. 1t feebly
arose, flew aimlessly against a clothes
line and then dropped into the gar
den, stone dead. That hen will be
queen of Mrs. Kings poultry y ID On
