s"pient Sayings Regarding Some
of the Shortcomings of Men
and Women.

1t is rather harder to be petty out
around, writes Dorothy Moore, in
Century.
Do l believe in chaperonage? Yes,
for my boy!
1t won't do to be only partially a
lady.
Comets are probably male: their
eccentricities can be computed.
The most uninteresting person in
the world is he who is interested in
everything equally.
There is more joy over one sinner
who makes up quorum than over
the ninety and nine who come regu-
larly.
it is we'll to be sure that the gift is of
some value.
l never knew a man to object to
any sphere for a woman that had him
for the hub.
To observe the habits of an echino-
derm-that is science. TO do the
same thing for man-that is only
fiction.
Temperament covers multitude of
sins.
1t is queer how much tyranny slip
shod people discover.
Life happens to some folks only in
novels.
If mere ideas are not truth, they
are at least the cloth of which it is
made.
Nothing worries woman so much
as not to belong to things.

Importance of Electr,city.

1t is estimated by the census office
that electricity has entered into the
daily life of the country to the ex-
tent of 81 for each man, woman and
child in the United States. OF this
amount So goes to the electric trac-
ton companies, $50 to the electric
lighu concerns and IS cents to the
telephone companies. The telegraph
also takes about so cents year from
each of the 75,ooO,ooO people, while
the rest of the 81 is charged off to
electric fire alarms, signals and gen
eral supplies.

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
A Smart Blaze Starts in Wad-
Ieigh's Grocery Store.
Stock Badly 0amaged--l awrence's
Rooms Overhead Also Damaged.
Cause of Fire Was Probably Matches
Two Firemen Injured.

The fire department was called Out
at 80 last evening, by an alarm from
box 80, to fight a fire which, for few
moments, promised to be about as hot
a blaze as they have had to contend
with for some time, but by getting al
it before it had time to gain much
Roadway, they soon had it under con-
troll, though not before it had done
damage to the amount of several thou
sands CT dollars.
The scene of the fire was Geo. w
Wadieigh's grocery and provision
store, which is located in the block
owned by B. F. PARROT, and adjoins
the Darby block, on the north. Some
one was passing the store, and seeing
the blaze inside, gave the alarm. Off
Ger White was a short distance above
the store, on the opposite side of the
street, and started for the fire alarm
box at the railroad bridge, but some
one reached it before him, and rang
it in.
Cushnoc and Atlantic hose teams
and the hook and ladder truck made
quick runs, and two lines Of hose were
soon pouring torrents of water into
the fire out, but the store was filled
with smoke SO dense that it was al
most impossible for the firemen to live
inside the door. William Routh of
Cushnoc hose, was overcome by the
smoke, and was not carried out into
the air a moment too soon. billie"
as the boys call him, was game, how
ever, and as soon as he got the smoke
out of him. went to work again.
The second floor of the building is
occupied by Fred Lawrence, who main
tains a clothes repairing establishment
and tailor shop. The fire made it's way
up from the store below, and burning
through the floor, filled the apartment
with smoke, but did little other dam

what Mr.. Lawrence's loss would be-
Mr.. Wadleigh's loss will be heavy.
lie carried a large stock of high grade
goods, large percentage of which are
ruined by the heat, smoke and the wa
ter. Among other things, he had 15o
barrels of flour in the basement. Last
night he said that as near as he could
estimate it, his loss would be fully $4,000.
He carries an insurance in the Macom-
Der, Farr Written agency Of $3.50 on
the stock and $3.50 on furniture and fix
lures.
The loss on the building will probably
not exceed $500 and is covered by insur-
i.nce in the above agency.
The cause of the fire. as near as can
be ascertained. was probably matches,
as some were said TO have been kept on
the shelves i'll the back part of the store
where the fire started. Mr. Wadleigh
said that there had been no fire in the
store since Saturday night, and there
seemed to be no other way in which to
account for it.
There We're several casualties. Jo-
seph Kicker of the hook and ladder
company, cut cash in one leg, while
kicking in a window, and Elmer Smith
of the same company, caught a finger
on one of the ladders in such q way as
to tear the nail out by the root.
The "all out" sounded at 1924
