THE MAN AND THE BABY.
Domestic Tale with Moral of Which Young Papas May Realize
 the, Truth.

A chap who had been the strong man of his class at college, who held the amateur championship as a hammer thrower and had lifted s9o pounds dead weight, was wont to brag of his prowess, relates the New York Evening World
 My muscles are like iron, he would say. T am never tired. can outrun 3 trolley car any reasonable distance. My lungs have an expansion of five and three-eighths inches. I'm as hard as nails and old MT. Rheumatism has taken my name off his visiting list.''
 Finally the chap married and in due time he became father He was proud of this and spent $5.4O in tele- grams to friends and relatives, $12.5o for cigars and $1865 for drinks.
 The baby thrived and grew. At the end of four months the youngster was an old story and weighed 22 pounds and a few ounces. When the mother wanted the erstwhile proud father to tote the heir from the house to the trolley car the father made an awful roar.
 Before walking block perspira tion poured down the old mans face and he breathed like stalled gasoline au- tomobile: He complained sorely.
 ssThis kid weighs a ton," he declared.
 "My dear,' said his wife, before we were married you boasted of your strength and ever since became your happy bride you have come home at night, or rather in the morning, with load that would have kept you off boulevard where heavy traffic is prohibited. Men are so unreasonable. z
 Moral: It is the burden you can't drop that weighs the heaviest.

ALRANY's BIG BLAZE.
Blotted Out Two Lives and Half .
 Million of Property.

BlOtted Out Two Lives and Half a
 Million of Property.
 ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 2o.-It is now believed that another life was lost in the fire which destroyed Tower & Brooks Boston store. The watchman, who was supposed to have been in the building when the fire broke out, has not been seen since, and it is believed that his body is under the debris.
 The loss, it is now thought, will reach half a million dollars. A member of the firm said that they had just re ceived large consignments of holiday goods which had not yet been un- packed and which were totally de- stroyed. The firm places it's loss at $350,OO0, which is only partly covered by insurance. The balance of the loss, about $15O,OOO, is divided among about twenty small firms.
 There were many thrillings escapes from death, and one fireman was killed and number injured.
 The destroyed structure was once the residence of former Governor Will liam L. Marcy and was one of the his torical spots in Albany. It extended from Pearl to James streets, with a side frontage in Steuben street.

 Foxley parish, near East Dereham, has perhaps the most wonderful rec ord in England. It has only changed it's rector once in no years. In 1792 Rev. J.

The venerable canon is himself one of the oldest rectors in England, hav- ing record of 66 years of clerical service. He preached sermon on the coronation of Queen Victoria and had never had the assistance of a curate until this year.

RETREAT NOT TAROUT
Venezuelan Rebels' Version of
 La Victoria Fight.
CASTRO'S POSITION IMPROBABLE.
Seven Days Battle, Reputed to Have Resulted In Utter Defeat of RevO- 1utiOnists, Now Said to Have
 Been Undecfsfve.

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Oct. 20.- One of the leaders of the Matos revo- lution in Venezuela who Is at present in Curacao has furnished the following details and explanation of the retreat of the revolutionary army from La Vic toria. He says the rebels only aban- doned the fight after being convinced that La Victoria was impregnable and after President Castro had refused to come out and attack the revolutionists outside of La Victoria. Twice did the revolutionary general Mendoza at tempt to force President Castro to take the offensive and .wice the president refused
 When the rebel endorsements ar rived at La Victoria last Thursday President Castro and his forces were located at point on the German rail- road. The rebels made detour of the city and cut off the only road of retreat open to the government forces. They were then short of ammunition, and without the arrival of train bringing them half million cartridges it is be- ieve that Castro's forces would have been annihilated. Preparations for their retreat had already been ordered. The revolutionists stationed near Ca racas, some 1,2O0 men under the com mand of General Ramos, are alone re- sponsible for the retreat of General Mendoza. They permitted the train carrying ammunition to the govern ment to leave Caracas and reach La Victoria. This train had an escort of only 100 men. The men under Ramos did not attack it, nor did they destroy one of the eighty bridges between Caracas and La Victoria over which the railroad runs.
 An added proof that the government suffered terribly in the La Victoria fight from the repeated attacks of the rebels is found in the fact that Presi- dent Castro does not pursue General Mendoza. The latter's plan in with drawing from La Victoria is to oblige President Castro to abandon the posi- Hons he holds there.
 The rebels suffered losses, but the government did also President Cas- tro's forces are reduced to 3,100 men, while General Matos still has 5000 men in the field It was not rout, but methodical retreat.
 In conclusion the rebel officer said that the revolutionists within few days would be found near Caracas.

It was an increase of 10 cents to each man, woman and child over the year previous. The average attendance of each pupil for the entire number enrolled was ninety y-nine days for the year, an increase of twenty four days over the previous year.
