 ' Veryqtruly yours, his mother, HANNAH MARTIN.

The Friday Afternoon Club

Recently the organization of the above named society was announced in these columns, having for it's purpose the furthering of social en- joyment during the long winter evenings. It was also stated that while the club was to be composed only of ladies, occasionally they would tender invitations to the sterner sex to be present, that they might get a taste of the good things served and enjoy game or two of high five.
 As a result, on Wednesday even ing at the home of MT. and Mrs. R. S. Teeple, the intentions of the club were carried out in a most charm ing manner. Among those who en- joyed the hospitality of MT. and Mrs. Teeple were MT. and Mrs. F. w. Smith, Mir. and Mrs. H. E. Dodge, Mir. and Mrs. c. A. Neal Mesdames Williams, Stockton and Evans; Misses Mabelle Stockton Gertrude Fuller and Emily Kou pal; Messrs. John Doyle. c. J Crawford, Paul E. Millar, J. D. La Chance, L. s. Williams, L. J. Olsor and D. L. Morrison.
 The evening was pleasantly spen in playing progressive high five For the successful ladies Mrs H. E Dodge was awarded a beautiful sil yer pin, while Mrs. F. w. Smitl received a small bottle of Catch up," which was most appropriate considering that she did not win ; single game. H. E. Dodge, for thu gentlemen. won first prize, a souve mir deck of cards, and Paul Millar who received the booby prize, wal given a card bearing the inscrip ton, From one lobster to an other"
 After the prizes had been award ed a delicate luncheon was served by the hostess, assisted by Mrs Evans. It is such events as this that make life more worth the living.

lindstrom Home in Ashes

Early Tuesday morning the ele- gant home of MT. August Lind strom, superintendent of the water service and railway departments of the local lumber company, was de stroyed by fire.
 The building stood just north of "The Pines," the beautiful subur- ban home of President Wm. F. Der mont, and was erected some years since by the company at cost of over $4,OOO.
 At the time of the fire Mrs. Lind strom was alone in the house, and having occasion to go to the upper story, was startled to hear a pecu- liar noise. For some time she was not able to determine what it was, but when she had done so the alarm was quickly given and in re- sponse to the mill whistles willing hands were soon at work making an effort to save the building as well as the contents. By the time help arrived, however, the fire was beyond control and most of the effort was concentrated on the work of saving the contents. With the exception of the beds in the second story, carpets, a large book case and books and large quantity of clothing, much of the household goods were saved.
 It is not absolutely known how the fire started, but it is presumed to have originated near a large chimney that had been erected on the outside of the building. The accepted theory now is that the heavy wind that had blown the day previous in some way rocked and cracked this chimney and allowed a spark to work its way between the bricks, igniting the woodwork in the loft.
 MT. Lindstrom estimates his loss at between $7OO and $500, partly covered by insurance. The build ing, which, as stated above, be- longed to the company, was also partly covered by insurance.
 Robert Wente, who had a room at the Lindstrom home, as we'll as Charley Lindstrom, foreman at Camp 3, were losers in the blaze. While many of their belongings were safely carried from the house they were quickly covered by the heavy snow fall and damaged.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal Is the safest and most effsStent
disinfectant and purifier In nature,
but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purposes.
Charcoal is q remedy that the more
you take of ii the better: IL is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and
carries them out OF the system.
Charcoal sWeetenS the breath after
smoking drinking or after eating on
ions and other odOrous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion, IL whitens the
teen and further aots as natural and
eminently safe cathartfc.
II absorbs the injurious gases which
collect I'm the stomach and bowels: it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
* in Stuarts Charcoal LOZenges; they
are. composed OF the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather
in the form OF large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these Iozenges will
soon tell In much improved condi-
ton OF the general health. better com

possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,

A Buffalo physician in speaking OF
the benefits Of charcoal says. Il advise
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to al
patients suffering from gas in StOm-
ach and bowels, and to clear the com
