enough fire to cause considerable of
scare, though the house did not burn
down and nobody was scorched It

cook threw the match she lighted the
lamp with in there, and the head Of it.
being incandescent, set things afire.
The cook was an excitable person and
when she saw the smoke coming up
from under the cover she did not
throw on water. and called her mis-
tress. This woman has the reputa-
ton of being cool hand in an emer-
gency and viewed the situation with
an unmoved eye. Then she went into
the back hall and remained there
while the fire ate it's way through
the wood box. The cook was upstairs
packing her trunk. When the mistress
Of the house returned the wall Of the
kitchen was going in good shape and
she decided that it was time to call
for help. The neighbors came in a
hurry bearing pals of water, for the
pipes in the house were frozen. After
while the fire went out under the
influence of gallons of water, which
ruined the wall paper in the dining
room. At supper time the womans
husband came home and looked at the
damage. why on earth didn't you
use those hand fire grenades that are
in the back hall?" asked he, wonder
ing when he saw them all in their
little rack. my DEAR replied his
wife steadily, Il tried to, but I hunted

Caught the Whole Family.

Thursday Auditor Trip got scent

dogs captured the female. Having
suspicious that there were more in
the vicinity, made another investi.
CATION Friday with success. The
male was seen but evaded the dogs
by. running over hill and into the
woods. Later the mole was discover

were taken care of. As to bounty it
is doubtful if he will get any. The
last legislature increased the bounty
but failed to make any appropriation,
therefore the county commissioners
passed no resolution to pay the
bounty. If laws had been properly
made he would have received $36
under the new law and but $25 un-

nothing more serious than laying
him up for four or six weeks. The

QUAINT PHILOSOPHY
In An Advertisement.

When a man acts as he believes the Infinite within him would have him act he draws power to himself from unseen sources; that power may be shown in many ways.
 Things work smoother, plans carry out, people begin to say, lucky" Ines a winner" everything he touches suc- ceeds," etc., etc.
 Ever try it? If you ever do, you will agree that it is the greatest proposition on earth.
 There is marvellous potency behind the man who acts in a simple, straight forward way, as near as he knows, in accordance with the promptings of that invisible Deity within.
 This should teach him that great and honorable work is ahead; Man at once the tool and part of the master work man.
 The tool must not be dulled and ruin ed by bad food, tobacco, whiskey, cof fee etc. You question including coffee among bad habits" None of these habits are bad habits unless they weaken or lessen the clean cut power of the individual If they do quit them. If food and drink are not well selected, change. Put your machine in clean, first-class shape. It is the purpose of this article to suggest a way to keep the body well so it can carry out the behest of the mind.
 A sure and safe start in the right direction is to adopt Grape-Nuts Food for every mornings breakfast. It is delicious, pre-digested, highly nourish- ing, and will put one far along toward doing his best in life's work.
 Follow this with abandonment of cof- fee. if it does not agree with you, and take in place of it, Postum Cereal Food Coffee, for it's regenerating and vital izing nourishment.
 With a wise selection of food and drink. man can quickly place himself in shape where the marvellous Direct ing Power will use him for some good and worthy purpose.

Doctors Puzzled Over a Ten Year old
 Boy

Doctors Puzzled Over a Ten Year Old
 Boy.
 Winsted Dec 13.-Physicians are pug. zled over the case of Edward Mongin, a ten-year-old boy living in Lee, Brk- shire county, who last summer fell from a hayloEt and struck oR his head. All effects of the fall seemed to pass away, but within the last few weeks he has become subjects to attacks of drowsi- ness, and the impulse to go to sleep is almost irresistible. His teacher sent him home for falling asleep in school. Another time he was found in a pasture sound asleep. He now goes to sleep wherever he happens to be, and attend ing doctors are unable to keep him awake any length of time.
