Resolved, by the young men of

It, We have ever treated the afore-

we cannot afford to give dancing par

And 1t is further resolved, that we
hereafter will not associate ourselves
with the members of this Whist Club.
That any of our membership who Is
found guilty of taking any of these
ladies to an entertainment, party or
theater. will be compelled to pay fine
of SIS for the first offense and s25
if repeated. We will do what we can
to show them that we disapprove of
their action and will refrain from their
company as much as possible"
This resolution was signed by twen-
ty-hve young men. most Of them being
clerks and young business men. They
all say that they will not give In and
that they will get young ladies from
the nearby towns when they give par
ties or dances.

grope his way to the telephone to give
the alarm to his neighbors. but could
not reach it on account Of the dense
smoke. The dwelling was good one
and was finely furnished; a high pric-
ed piano was among the articles des-
troyed. The cause Of the fire seems to
have been an explosion in the furnace,
as evidences Of such an occurrence
were to be seen after the fire. It was
probably the noise of this explosion
which awakened the family in time to
escape with their lives. The night
was bitterly cold; the worst Of the year
and the experience Of the Rhoads fam
fly In being driven from their home to
see it destroyed by fire was a severe
