The fire OF Friday, November 18th,
aside from the loss OF a human life
and thousands OF dollars In property,
was supplemented by disastrous effects
In many other ways. It's suddenness
and the awful apprehension Of those
aroused from slumber In realizing that
our city was almost entirely at the
mercy Of the flames, there being no
provision with which to cope with IL.
A strong south wind seemed TO vary
at times to the westward, thus expos
ing the opposite buildings. There be.
ing scarce u hundred feet TO the
northward between the burning build.

CHAPTER ".
Odd Companions.

After releasing the old man and the
child from their ENHANCEMENT they
were carried to the nearest fisherman's
cabin. The man, though dashed to the
spar and pinioned to the earth by the
driftwood was held no closer than was
the babe. His arms held it like a
wise. They had been so long about it
that they had formed like clasps
around the body and, benumbed by
the cold, they were as difficult to pry
apart as are the cieepers which hold a
vine in its upward climb.
Young as it was, only few weeks
old, the infant posses sed more vitality
than did its aged protector. 1t
stretched forth its little hands and legs
with surprising strength and cried pitt
fully, though in voice that showed
that its lungs were still strong and
healthy.
But the old nan scarcely breathed.
He opened his dull eyes for moment
and stared blankly into the faces of
those directly in the line of his Wis
ion, and then closed them. He was
Unconscious Of all that was going on
about him. His long gray hair hung
in strands about his face and neck
His silken gray beard was matted with
the sand and trash of the beach. But
for the slow pulsation of his heart he
would have been pronounced dead by
those around him.
The women were running about as
busy as only women can be when they
are doing some great act of charity,
and their devotion was increased by
the fact that some dead mothers chi d
had fallen into their hands, and each
felt double responsibility on this &C
count.
Some we're bringing dry clothing
from the wardrobe of their own chill
dren, others were warming cows milk
in a small basin on the stove, while a
more thoughtful mother was sharing
the breast of her own babe with the
little waif. And those good women
smiled with tears in their eyes as the
little stranger tugged greedily at its

The Other Fellows Job.

There's a craze among us mortals that Is
cruel hard to name,
WheresOe'er you find human you will
find the case the same;
You may seek among the worst of men or
seek among the best,
And you'll find that every person is pre-
cisely like the rest.
Each believes that his real calling is
along some other line
Than the one at which he's working
take, for instance, yours and mine.
From the meanest "me-too" creature TO
the leader of the mob,
There's a universal craving for "the 9th
er fellows job"
There are millions of positions in the
busy world to-day,
Each drudge to him who holds it, but
to him who doesn't, play;
Every farmers broken-hearted that in
youth he missed his call,
While that same unhappy farmer is the
envy Of US all.
Any task you care TO mention seems a
vastly better lot
Than the one especial something which
you happen to have got.
There's but one sure way to smother
Envy's heartache and her sob;
Keep too busy, at your own, to want
the other fellows job"

cows are kept; this has been demon
strated time and again, so there is no
doubt about 1t. Manufacturers of sepa-
rators claim that the saving is about
ten dollars a cow per year and is based
on the fact that the cream is taken
from the milk while it is sweet, hence,
there is no danger of it becoming sour,
and because of this almost perfect con-
dition the cream ripens more evenly
and, therefore, makes a better quail
ity of butter. Again, as the separat-
Ing is done soon after milking the
value of the skim milk for feeding pur--
poses is greater as it is usually given
to young stock while it still retains.
the animal warmth. There is every
thing in favor of the hand separator
and nothing against it, so that any
man with dairy of proper size, who
does not have a separator is cheating
himself out of just so much good
profit.

The Fruit CroD.

Ounces, peaches, pears and apples,
whether early or late, need the most
careful gathering and handling to Sc
cure good results. Gather when ripe,
well colored, but while they are still
firm, not soft. Select good, large fruits
of even size, characteristic of the va
riety, without worms or other blem-
ishes, without bruising or bruises, in
fact, as near perfect specimens as pos
sible. Mark the variety, then wrap
first in tissue paper. then in wax pa
per, then pack in baskets and put up.
In the four-basket or six-basket crates,
or in single-layer boxes, with all the
spaces filed with paper, so that they
will not move in the least while In
transit.-Massach usetts Ploughman.

said the old man.
Then they all put to and gave
their energy to securing the iron chest.
The old man abandoned his lookout
and joined the boys in the work. The
timbers were interlocked about it and
at the same time deeply imbedded in
the sand.
"Get the capstan lever, boys; get
the capstan. We must have her now
or it will be too late!" exclaimed the
excited old Seadog.
Some CT owbars had been unearthed
from the ships tool room and with the
addition of the capstan lever they set
to work with renewed vigol.
"Pry down to the left. boys, pry
down to the left" shouted the father.
Already the exhaust of the govern
ment launch could be heard as it slowed
up to weigh anchor at a safe distance
from the sandbar.
1t would only require the lowering
of boat and a few strokes of the oars
to land the officers upon the fishermen.
Fortune had always favored old Sea-
dog and it favored him again. With a
heavy lurch they brought the chest
from under the timbers that held il
down.
Fortune doubly favored him. When
the iron receptacle had been turned
round it was found that the keys still
remained in the lock. The captain
had possibly attempted to open it al
the last moment and had been driven
out by the waves.

stern old parent. The boys were

for advice and guidance.
But the old man was busily engaged
With a surprising quickness he haC
opened the chest and tore from it the
register roll. Then he closed the
chest, locked it and cast the keys int
the water at the lower end of the hole
Then he climbed out through port

from the vessel, climbed back through
and joined his boys who were prison
ers on deck. But before he had bidder

register was made he had turned

Sheep require variety of food to

With sheep, rather more than with
any other class of stock, care must he

Overstocking is usually injurious to

law was in force in all sections,

as to cut the weeds in front of the

Dog for the Farm.

If farmer stands in need of a dog
he should have good one. The farm
dog, to be profitable adjunct Of the
farm, should have duties to perform,
and should possess certain valuable
qualities that Will enable him to do
his duties well. He should be a faith
