Two golden weddings were celebrated
in the town of Somerset, Mass,
today, when Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan s. Da-
Wis and Mr.. and Mrs. Leander +. Davis
received their friends.
Fifty years ago today the two couples
presented themselves before the same
clergyman In Assonet TO be married. but
as one couple were not residents of that
town, the minister, under the laws OF
those days, could not tie the nuptiai knot
in both cases and justice of the peace
was called in.
Nathan and Lesnder Davis are distant
relatives. The couples have always lived
within $50 yards of each other and neither
have had any children.

most Immediately lost his way and was
cropping about to find the staircase and
was about to drop from inability to-
breathe when he stumbled upon the stairs
and crept up them.
About this time Mr.. Costello observed
that the store was filling with smoke and
when the boy reached the salesroom and
told him of his discovery Mr.. Costello
sent him to n neighboring store, where a
still alarm WAS Tphoued to Hose s, ON
Pond street.
AN ALARM SENT OUT.
When this company arrived in view
of the building dense cloud OF smoke
was pouring out OF the door and the
cellar windows and an alarm was sent Ia
from box 80, located at the corner OF
Westminster and Walker streets.
The fire was not an easy one to sub
due. as the innammable materials in the
cellar burned flerccly and the heavy
smoke almost drove the fircmen TO the
street.
The flames were confined strictly 10 tho
smaller building. although tho next west
erly block was filed with smoke.
Mr. Costello said that his stock was
valued a $4,000. and that he had succeeded
only In getting out few of his more val
uarie pictures.
The character Of tho stock was such
that n total loss Is probable.
His insurance he could not give. although
he hoped that he had been well protected.
Mr. McCardell SAYS that the insurance.
on the store was 5000; how much dam-
age had been done 10 the property ha
could not say. II might reach 5000.

sure: but smoke sadly deteriorates the
value of a hat stock.

Old-Fashioned Honesty.

Old-Fashioned Honesty.
This lesson comes home to us every
day:
Who dances, the fiddler has got to
pay.
>The game ends up in the same old
way.
You can't get something for nothing.
You may seem ahead for a time; but
wait
For another turn Of the wheel OF fate.
There comes reaction soon or late.
You can't get something for nothing.
This infinite mandate we all should
learn:
Whate'er goes out from us must re-
We get in the end just what we earn.
You can't get something for nothing.
Our accusing deeds we at last must
face.
The day of settlement comes apace.
The books must balance sometime,
some place.
You can't get something for nothing.
Who takes value, however slight,
From others, by cunning, or stealth,
or might
Is theft in the eye of the God of
Right.
You can't get something for nothing.
Through all the lictions of law, the
game,
Though played by nations, remains
the same;
For theft is theft, by whatever
name.
You can't get something for nothing.
Men fight like fends for the stolen
stake,
In gambling for that which their
brothers make;
But for one who wins there are ten
who break.
You can't get something for nothing.
And those who to-day at the top are
found
Beneath will fall when the wheel
turns round.
The blow is equaled by the rebound.
You can't get something for nothing
This truth so often proclaimed be-
By the common sense OF the days
of yore,
1t seems the people must learn once
more;
You can't get something for nothing.
The virus of money is IN our veins
The fever of gambling for paltry
gains
And yet the eternal decree remains.
You can't get something for nothing.
You'll find, if you spur at fortunes
call
On mount of chance, you but ride
for fall,
That n wreck awaits at the end Of all.
You cant get something for nothing.
He who is content with his own is
blest;
He who seeks more is social pest.
Old fashioned honesty is the best.
You can't get something for nothing.
