on the west branch of the Hartford turnpike
in Long Green Valley, near Baldwin Station
of the Nd. & Pa. Railroad, was destroyed by fire
early on Saturday morning. August 9th. How
the fire originated is not known.
The house was 80 feet in length and con-
tanned IA rooms. 1t was filled with antique
furniture and relics of various kinds which
were highly priced by the owner, Mr.. John
Beale Watkins. Not an article was saved.
This ancient landmark was known to be
nearly $50 years old. It showed no signs of
decay and was much more substantial than
many buildings not one-third its age. For
many years, and until about ten years ago, it
was conducted as a roadside inn. For twenty!
years past Mr.. Watkins conducted general
merchandise store, in addition to the first
named business, finally relinquishing the hotel
business.
Mr.. and Mrs. Watkins were alone in the
building at the time of the fire, their son, Mr..
Charles Beale Watkins, having left on Thurs
day previous for an outing down the bay, and
did not know of the disaster until he returned
on late train Sunday night only to find his
old homestead in ruins.
Mr.. and Mrs. Watkins escaped in their night
clothing, every vestage Of their belongings hav-
ing been burned With the assistance of some
near neighbors small part of the store goods
were saved. These were removed to an out
building and business is going on as usual in
small way. The burned store will be rebuilt.
There was no insurance on either store stock
or furniture, but the building was partially in
sured.

Not Worth the Money.

A tall woman with determined ex-
preston and surrounded by six chill
dren Of assorted sizes approached the
attendant of the menagerie and eyed
him with a relentless gaze.
"What nationality is that elephant?"
she inquired. Indicating one close at
hand.
Comes from Africa, ma'am." said
the attendant
Hes dreadful light, colored to have
come from tropical parts" said the
woman sternly "And look here" she
added as the attendant started away
from her family group; they've got a
mighty poor lot Of camels here, accord
ing to my lights. Not but one hump
on any of 'em except that Teller that's
SO old he keeps his eyes shut"
The attendant again essayed to de-
part, but she clutched him by the
sleeve.
''You tell the owners of this show
what say" she commanded. "You
tell 'em that when a woman pays 30
cents for herself and one-ifty for a
mess of children she looks to see
more'n one double bumper and more
hair on the single bumpers, not have
'em look as if the moths had got into

Lighting new Havana downtown
professional man, after taking few
whiffs, blew into his cigar and forced
a lot of smoke out of the fiery end.
Then he laid it aside and permitted the
spark to die out
When asked for an explanation he
said: swell, learned that habit some
years ago, and 1 find that. cigar
which has been lighted and then al
lowed to go out makes a much better
smoke. / take several vigorous draws
in order to bring the heat well through
the weed. If a cigar becomes cold
while it is saturated with smoke it has
a musty odor; consequently it is neces-
sary to blow steadily and quite hard
before extinguishing the spark in order
to clear out all the smoke that has
been drawn in between the layers of
tobacco. After permitting the cigar to
lie ten or fifteen minutes or even
half hour I find on relighting it that
the flavor has greatly improved. The
why and wherefore l am not philo-
sophical enough to explain, but l know
it makes a cigar better. 1t also i'm

The runners are by 6's, the cross

The Trolley Carries Farm Produce

The Trolley Carries Farm Produce.
Rockford, Ill.-Farmers in north
eastern Illinois and the adjoining Sec
ton in Wisconsin are making use Of
the electric roads to ship live stock,
butter and eggs, vegetables and other
products direct from their own farms
to the Chicago market. They have side
tracks on which to load cars, and these
cars are then run on to the main lines
and through to destination. 1t is
claimed that this is much cheaper than
driving to market with teams. Rock
ford also is the center Of several inter-
urban lines. and trolley transportation
for farm produce has become very
popular among the farmers this sea-
son. In the pressure Of farm work
and scarcity Of help it is saving Of
the time and labor of men and teams
and in other ways great convenience
for farmers to take themselves and
their produce to town in this expedi-
tious and easy fashion. AS conse-
quence, the building up Of the farm
trade in this and other places which
are trolley centers is evident.
