Dickey and the Fire.

4 fire broke out the other day in
Marion. Mass, and Richard Harding
Davis at once followed suit. The
papers say very little about the fire,
but devote much space to Dicky whose
energy and heroism under fire have
been proved before, as every young lady
in the county knows. He at once be-
came master of the situation and
everybod and the fire obeyed his
genius. Here is an account of the oc-
casion: His massive figure at one
time could be seen running to and fro
with water buckets; at another he was
on the roof of the burning structures
discharging the vessels and giving
instructions to his followers. Finally
the blaze was extingiushed. Davis
drenched to the skin, blackened be-
yond recognition, with his clothes torn
to tatters. A little miss stepped forth
to put his Panama hat on his head as
if it were a laurel crown. AS Davis
lifted her IN his arms and enabled her
to perform her mission, the spectators
cheered." Thus is the complete sue
cess of his next novel assured. What
does it profit Winston Churchill to go
to the New Hampshire legislature, or
Booth Harrington to go TO Congress
from Indiana, with Richard Davis thus
in the center of the stage and all the
matinee girls applauding?

AL well-all happy-lots
Of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
Of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
inc off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
TO buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of Scott ;
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that il
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. OF course its
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul
sion than new monkeys-ano
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkey:
and in man is the same disease
