The alarm was given at an
hour when the town is silent and
when no one is astir except night
watchmen.
Just before 2 o'clock the night
clerk of the Landon hotel was
|setting on the sidewalk waiting
for a belated SantaFe train when
tall at once he scented something
burning. All except those per
sons mentioned are safe. No
one had ever considered that a
| fire could gain such headway as
lit did in the hotel without being
discovered, nor that it could
spread and envelope d large
building as quickly as it did.
The entire population rushed
out soon after the alarm was
given and many heroic efforts
? were made to reach those i'm.

The wind varied and strongly

A scene of utter panic prevail

DAIRY NOTES.

Good butter should be solid from the
time it is put upon the table.
Any excitement in the dairy COW
tends to lessen the flow of milk.
Failing to gct all the buttcrmilk out
causes butter to become rancid soon.
TO obtain the best results in churning
the cream should be only slightly sour.
In winter the cream should be warm
ed up to "a out &C degrees before put
ting in the churn.
One advantage in brine sailing is
that it almost entirely avoids streakcd
or notified butter.
The milk should always be skinned
while sweet and the cream then allow
ed to turn slightly sour.
Sometimes butter has white specks
distributed through it. This is caused
by ovcrSOurnCSS in the cream.
In butter making next to controlling
the temperature is to churn often while
the cream is in good condition.
With temperature under control and
churning done ut the right time the
butter will become solid and be easily
handled.
On the farm to make the most out of
the milk and butter some of the cows
should he bred to come fresh in the
spring AMI some in the fall.-St. Louis
Republic.

VALPARAISO AMUSEMENT.
Sunday Is the Great Gala Day For
Rich and Poor Alike.

All around the edge of Valparaiso
bay is string of little towns so close
together that you cannot readily dis
cover where one leaves off ana the
next begins. The most pretentious OF
these is Nina del Mar, which is very
popular seaside resort. During the
summer season, from December TO
February, it is Il gay place. a short
distance from the town is the "cancha,'
or race track, in connection with which
are golf links, cricket and polo
grounds, all managed by the English
sporting clubs. The polo matches ana
the races are over by the list of Decem-
Der, but cricket, golf and tennis go on
all summer. Tennis tournaments are
held lasting for several weeks. Most
of these sports, with the exception Of
tennis, which goes on all the time,
take place on Sunday. Sunday is the
great gala day, when all the popula-
ton, rich and poor alike, turn out to
have good time.
The common people find their holt
day sport in getting gloriously drunk
If you walk along the street on Sun
day afternoon. you must not be sur
priSed to meet every few minutes in
dividuals decidedly unsteady on their
feet. The little wineshOps do a rush
ing business, and there is always a
large crowd about the door watching
and loudly applauding the dancing Of
the "cueca," which goes on all day.
This is n sort of national dance, per-
formed to the accompaniment of the
guitar. The dance is quaint and rath-
er pretty if the dancers are sober, but
in it's ordinary environment 1T is far
from inviting.
During Il good season at Vina del
Mar one has an excellent opportunity
of seeing the aristocratic Chileans of
Santiago. In January Santiago is very
warm, and the society people come
down to the coast during the hot
weather. The ladies are many of
them quite handsome. They all dress
gorgcously and have very bad man.
ners. They stroll along the hotel plaz-
"a, and if they see anything that
arouses their curiosity in any of the
rooms they stop and look on serenely,
regardless of the occupant. They
never make their appearance until 10
or IL O'Clock in the morning. when
they go down to the beach for morn
ing dip. After the IL o'clock break
fast they disappear until 4 O'Clock,
when they all come out in gowns that
would rival Solomon in all his glory.
They either drive on the beach and
trail their skirts and embroidered chif-
fons through the sand or stroll up and
down the long platform of the railroad
station, watching the trains pass.
These exciting diversions occupy them
until dinner. Sometimes there are
dances in the evening-dances called so
only by courtesy, for they rarely
dance; they only walk around and eX-
hibit their gowns.-Indianapolis News.

The readiness of some people to send

amount of enterprise or ingenuity
would enable them to do for them

"The Grent Unknown"

For thirteen years the author Of
"Waverlcy" was unknown. Indeed the
country spoke of him as "thc great I'M
known" pscudonym Sir Walter
Scott often employed in writing. But
on Feb. 23. 1927, Sir Walter gave din
ner party to which, among others, Lord
Meadowbank, the judicial magnate,
who CHANGED to know his hosts secret.
was invited. Then when the toasts
were being drunk Meadowbank, with
SCOTS permission, got up and proposed
the health Of ''the great unknown, Sir
Walter Scott" The effect was magical.
and the news spread through the coun-
try like wildfire. Indeed that dinner
and the secret it disclosed was the
most talked of event of the year.

Sometimes it seems as if drugstores
have everything except drugs. The
middle aged man or woman remembers
when the apothecary shop had dis
tinctive smell of drugs and chemicals.
Nothing was in sight but jars of won
drously colored liquids and powders.
crystals and sticks and drawers of Gu
rious things with Latin labels. The
only thing that was at all attractive
for the women was the case of fancy
soaps and perfumes, with face powders
and cosmetics, and for the men the case
of cigars. The soda fountain made the
first innovation. 1t was no such preten-
tious affair as now dominates the cor
ner drugstore, however. 1t stood mod
estly on one end of the counter. There

FLORIDA PEAT FOR FUEL.

when the lumber and turpentine VAN

deposit. a species of peat commonly
called muck. found in our numerous
bays, if dissolved in or freely noisten-
Cd with Texas fuel oil and then press
ed into blocks or bricks of convenient
size, would be found to be an excel

simply dried, burns freely and per-

WHY SOD keen sheen,

Much of the business carried on on
the farm is regulated by the profit
which accrues from the efforts put
forth, says the Homestead. The best
farmers keep a close tab on things gen
orally and they aim to engage in that
husbandry that brings the best profit
and the greatest returns. There are a
few who farm in the same way and
manner of that carried on by a father
or a grandfather. This is done without
studying whether there can be any i'm
provement in the methods or whether
IL pays.
For a score or more OF years Il has
been a mystery TO us that more people
do not keep sheep. We can understand
why people do not engage in the sheep
business when prices are very low and

BITTEN BY RATTLEsNAKE.

Tampa Herald: w. w. Lawson. one
of the oldest and best known residents
of the Six Mile creek district. while
passing through the fields near his
home Sunday, was attacked and bitten
by a huge rattlesnake. the snake
planting it's fangs deep into one of
Mr.. Lawson's limbs. He fought the
RATHER, and it was afterwards des-
patched. The victim, who has attained
the advanced age of 20 years, was TAX
en- Immediately to the home of friend
nearby and was Immediately given
treatment for the poisonous bite.
Strange to relate, the treatment seems
to have been effective and the victim
is now out of bed, and is not suffering
the least inconvenience from his terri
bic experience. There seems to be no
probability, at present of the poison
having any further effect. There are
few instances in which the bite of a
RATHER is not fatal. and the aged citi-
zen is being congratulated upon his
remarkable escape.
