Timely Suggestions.

Once in great while it becomes
necessary for the inhabitants of our
village to be suddenly appraised of the
TACT that a fire has broken GU or Il eur ct r
midst. That they might be properly
warned, it has been customary to
sound the alarm by ringing the Uni
versalist church bell; the person hap
pening to be nearest to said bell per-
forming the ceremony. There has
been lots of "kicking" in the past by
those who have attempted to do a
fairly good job in this line, on &C.
count of the poor provisions made
for an emergency OF this kind.
The trouble having been remedied
(?) by putting in a new strocker, it is
considered that all necessary has
been done for quick work. OF course
at the time of fire everything should
be done with elaboration. There are
a few who know how to handle our
fire alarm without getting into
trouble with it, but as it might hap
pen that novice may be called upon
at some time, especially on some
dark night when there is no moon,
and quick work is necessary, a few
suggestions may not come amiss.
LIST. Hunt up the janitor of the
church, or some one who understands
ringing the bell, if you have time. If
you try to catch on by yourself, the
fire may go out of it's own accord be-
fore you recover from the effects of
the first stroke. If the bell dose not
ring upon giving the bell a second
pull don't get alarmed or waste more
strength, because it will avail you
nothing. If you think it still nee
essary to ring the bell, try the other
rope, but before doing so note the
time of day, and if it is nearly time
for the clock to strike, sit down and
rest a spell. After the clock is done
striking ring the bell for the next fifty
nine minutes to your hearts content.
Ifsome one should ask you whose
funeral you were tolling for, quietly
inform them that there was fire and
you are ringing the alarm. They
probably wont understand unless you
tell them. Above all things don't get
excited.
We hope that no one will take of
tense at anything herein. 1t seems
as if it were about time to have some
kind of fire alarm that can be de-
pended upon to work when needed.
We don't all of us have time to make
a special study of fire alarms or their
working, but when it is necessary we
are ready to take hold of the rope
and pull, and we want to be sure that
our efforts will be noticed, without
the liability of being brought to limbo
for accidentally breaking the town
clock or dislocating the church
steeple. FIRE ALARM.

Stole a Fifteen Pound Goldfish.

While Allen Mann was making his
semi occasional trip through Belvi-
dere last week, Frank Burns, he Of
unsavory reputation, got his eye on
a handsome Is pound cod that Allen
had in his sleigh and which was in
tended for the Billings lumber camp.
1t was a beautiful fish and Frank
couldn't resist the temptation, so he
swiped it. The result was, be was ar
rested and brought before Squire
Miller, who administered the law to
him to the tune of $40 63. He was
taken in charge of Deputy Sheriff
Potter, who kept him over night and
next day took him to the county jail,
from which place he was escorted last
Thursday by the Deputy to Rutland,
where his post-office address will be
for next three months. Just to keep
in good health he will polish marble
during that time. No one feels really
bad to have Frank away; he is bad
stuff and it is hoped that his sojourn
in Rutland will be of benefit to him.
Frank appears to be proud of his
pedigree, as he relates rather exult-
ingly that his father was hung in
Montreal for the murder of one of his
children,

THE MISSING LINK.

Lines on the death of Mrs. Abnel
Potter:
Our family chain is broken,
One link is missing now
In silent grief unspoken,
We gaze on the marble brow.
Our grief in words we cannot tell;
But in the bitter tear,
The loving Father makes us feel
We are to him most dear.
He sent his only son to die
Upon dark Calvary;
And shall we utter now one moaning cry?
For Jesus himself draws nigh
To comfort and to cheer,
0 Jesus help us bear this load,
Thou Saviour of mankind,
Stay thou our feet upon the road,
Until we reach that best abode
And peace and plenty find.
We give our loved one up to Thee,
We give because we must,
We come to Thee in agony,
Help us in Thee to put our trust
For her the battle has been fought,
For her the victory won,
Give strength of Thine to US dear Lord
To say, "Thy will be DONE"
And may our names be there enrolled
As links so strong and clear,
That the broken chain made whole again,
May in Thy book appear.

kept perfectly clean and unbroken
afterward-never and did never will

THAT such vaccination leaves a

any other cause, which is reconizable
during life and is the only conclusive
evidence of successful vaccination.
