DR.. KNIGHTS DENTAL OFFICE
BURNED.
The Property Was Insured for S45oo, But
That Does Not Cover the Loss.

The building at the corner of School
and Atkinson streets occupied by DR.. +.
w. Knight as a dental office was burned
about o'clock Wednesday morning
causing a heavy loss. There was no one
in the building and the fire was not dis
covered until the whole building was in
the flames. Nothing was taken out until
the flames were subdued. A portion of
the walls stand. but are of no value.
The dental rooms were among the best
furnished of any in this section, and were
equipped with modern apparatus. The
building was new, having been fitted up
only three or four years ago at a large
expense. The insurance upon the build
ing was $4,000 at E. L. Walkers agency,
and on the contents $25OO at f. S. Leo
nards agency neither of which amounts
will probably cover the loss. The origin
was probably from the fire place. or from
the heating boiler, located in the base
ment.

The Blacksmith Dinner.

Il have brought your dinner, father"
The blacksmith's daughter said,
AS she took from her arm kettle,
And lifted it's shining lid.
Il haven't any pie or pudding,
So I will give you this"
And upon his toil-worn forehead
She laid childish kis.
The blacksmith tore off his apron
An dined in happy mood,
Wondering much at the SAVIOR
: Hid in his humble food,
While all about were visions
Full Of prophetic bliss,
But he never thought Of the magic
In his little daughters kiss.
While she, with the kettle swinging,
Merrily trudged away,
Stopped at the sight of a squirrel
Catching some wild birds lay,
And thought Of many a shadow
In lire and fate we void miss
II all our frugal dinners
Were seasoned with a kiss.

ONLY A WORKING GIRL.

We have to thank several cOrrespon-
dents for kindly forwarding copies of
this poem, which is as follows:-
1 know I'm only working girl,
And I'm not ashamed to say
belong to the ranks of those that toll
For a. living day by day.
With willing feet press along
In the paths that / must tread,
Proud that I have the strength and
skill
To earn my daily bread.
I belong to the Clover classes
That's phrase we often meet
There are some who sneer at working
girls
AS the pass us on the street.
They Stare at us in proud disdain,
And their lips in scorn will curl,
And sometimes we hear them say
She's only a working girl
Only working girl! Thank God!
With willing hands and heart,
Able to earn my daily bread,
And in life's battle take may part.
You could offer me no title
I would be more proud to own;
I stand as high in sight of God
AS the Queen upon her throne.
Ye gentlefolks who pride yourselves
Upon your wealth and birth,
And look with scorn on those who have
Naught else but honest worth,
Your gentle birth we laugh to scorn,
For we hold this as our creed-
THAT none are gentle save the one
Who does a gentle deed"
We are only the Clover classes
But the Holy Scriptures tell
How when the King Of Glory
Came down on earth to dwell,
Not with the rich and mighty,
Meath costly palace dome,
But with the poor and lowly,
He chose to make His home.
He was one of the Flower classes"
And had to toll for bread,
So poor that oftentimes he had
No place to lay His head.
He knows what it is to labour
And toll the long day through,
He knows how We get tired,
For He's been tired too.
Oh, working girls, remember
tt is neither crime nor shame
TO work for honest wages,
Since Christ has done the same.
And wealth and high position
Must seem of little worth
To those whose fellow-labourer
Is King of Heaven and Earth.
So, when you meet with scornful sneers,
Just lift your heads in pride;
The shield of honest womanhood
Can turn such sneers aside;
And scoffers yet will understand
That the purest, brightest pearl,
Mid the gems of noble womanhood
rs 'Only a Working Girl
