there in full force but not in war

whole thing. Rain interfered with
the amusements and races. If Gr1ggs

LUCKY E9|APE.
Cooperstown Again Gets
Out Of What Might have
Been 4 Big Fire.

The sound Of the fire alarm and
the footing Of the mill and loco-
move whistles brought out the fire
department in a hurry last Friday
morning. The FIRE was st D. B. Nc
Donald's bakery. He h,sd been get
ting ready to fry doughnuts on a
gasoline stove and was attending to
matters in the rear end of the build
ing. A pan OF lard was on the stoye
which had been started up. ]. H.
Wilson happened to drop in and as
he started through the building he no.
tized the stove in flames and the FIRE
rapidly spreading. He gave the
alarm and the department responded
quickly. The boys had the hose laid
inside oftwo minutes, but water was
not thrown for at least IS minutes,
which is entirely too long. The
chemical engine was at the fire right
quick but the minute it was turned
loose the hose burst all to pieces and
further delay was occasioned until
new hose coula be attached. In the
meantime citizens with small extin-
guishers and pals of water had the
fire under control and by the time
water was turned on the danger was
past. 1t was lucky escape from a
very serious conflagration which
might have wiped out biggest part of
the business portion of our town.
The middle room downstairs was the
only place burned damage being done
to the amount of S15e. Mr.. Nc
Donald lost all his clothes, besides
his stove and other utensils amount
ing probably to s15o with no in
surance. Marquardt carried insur-
ance on the building and will meet
with no loss other than the incon-
venlence occasi oned by delay in fix
ing up the building. The cause Of
the fire is thought to be from the
gasoline stove igniting In some way
and communicating with the reser-
voir while others think the lard got on
fire. However it was very lucky
ending to what looked like serious
fire. Mr.. Mcdonald will continue
to do business at the old stand.

A HOT STORY
tFrom the In Cross Democrat. y

we never had II coal stove around
the house until last Saturday. Have
always used pine slabs and pieces az
our neighbours fence. They burn we'll
TOO, but the fence got all burned IN.
and the neighbor said he wouldn,ts
build a new one 80 We went down %

have radiant home at our house for
about four hours last Saturday night.
is Republican and q villain. You
see We didn't know anything about
coal stoves. We filled the Radiant
Home about half full of pine fence.
and, when the stuff got we'll to going,
we filled the artesian we'll on top with
coal. 1t simmered and sputtered
about five or ten minutes. and all went
out, and we put on an overcoat and a
pair OF bnckskin mittens and ...went
out too"-to supper. We remarked
In the course of the frugal meal that,
Jones was q ''froad" for recommends
ing such confounded refrigerator to
a man to get warm by. After supper
we took a piece Of ice and rubbed our
hands warm, and went ia where that
stove was, resolved to make her. draw
and burn If it took all the pine fence
in the First Ward. Our better half
threw a quilt over, and shiveringly
remarked that she never knew what
real solid comfort was until she got q
coal stove. Stung by the sarcasm
In her remark, we turned every dingus
on the stove that WAS movable, or
looked like it had anything to do with
draft, and pretty soon the Radiant
Home began to heave up heat. 1t was
not long before she suffered like
the new Silsby steamer. Talk
about your heat! In ten minutes that
room was much worse than a Turkish
bath as Hades is hotter than Liver-
mans Ice house. The Precipitation
fairly fried out of a tin water cooler
in the next room. We opened the
doors, and snow began to melt as far
up Vine Street as HAnscomb's house,
and people all round the neighbor-
hood put on linen clothes. And we
couldn't stop the corfounded thing.
We forgot what Jones told US about
the dampers and she Selt billing.
The only thing we could co was to go
to bed and leave the thing to burn the
house up il it wanted to. We stood
off with a pole and turned the damper
every way, and at every turn she just
sent out heat enough to roast an OK.
Went to bed, supposing that the coal
would eventually burn out, but about
twelve o'cle ok the whole family had to
get up and sit on the fence. Finally,
q man came along who had been
brought up among coal stoves, and
he put a wet blanket over him and
crept up to the stove and turned the.
proper dingus and she cooled off, and
since that time has been just as COM
Portable as possible. If you buy
coal stove you want to learn how to
engineer it, Or you may get roasted.

The odd shillinxs.

There is very little difference be
tween a pound and guinea; only q
shilling, and yet the keen business man
insists that the shilling shall be consid-
cred. After Thackeray's series of lee
lures on the four Georges had been
delivered in London, Willert Beale
says that he called upon the novelist
in Onslow square with check for
f25O.
"What's this. W. B.?" cried Thack-
cray. reading the check. Pounds!
Our agreement says guineas. and
9uineas It must be-"
"You are aware that the lectures 90
far have involved very heavy lOsses." J"
said Beale apologetically.
That's not my affair" said Thack-
cray. II don't know what occult
means you have to protect yourself
from loss. Guineas. W. r.! Guineas
it must be, and nothing else. must
have the shillings."
And the shillings wers sent him i'm.

loved by thousands of personal
friends, and recognized the world
over as a statesman, wise executive
and above all, Christian gentlemen.
A man, who for 81 years stood in the
fierce light of public service, confront
ed by as grave problems. beset bv as
many temptations, difficulties and
dangers as seldom falls to the lot of
man, yet who never swerved from bis
high ideals of manhood and stateman-
ship, and who, when with little warm
ing was brought to the virge of eterni-
ty, could yet say. ''It's Gods will"
This man, in the prime of life, at the
summit of earthly glory. the head of a
great nation, surrounded by thou
sands of patriotic citizens. was yet, in
the twinkling of an eye. laid low by
the meanest of Gods creatures. An
awful example of the shortness of the
line between life and death, between
this world and eternity, and also of
the results of our allowing unlicensed
liberty and abuse of the freedom of
speech and of the press. Through it
we have lost one of our greatest men
and one of the best presidents, a wife
has lost a loving husband and thou
sands a dear friend. A loss inn
andirreparable, yet If the
coming generation, in whose hands
rest the destinies of this nation,
through the study of his life and
character are led TO become better
men and women, better citizens. If
the resultant agitation succeeds in
roofing out anarchy and anarchists,
