The Sullivans the Greatest First
Family.

There are enough of MS Sulllvans
to repel an army and we're always
ready-or the Sullivans could go up
and take Canada without asking help
from any other first family. There
are Sullivans enough to fill every
position you might name. Do you

livan in Boston, five feet, five inches
short, working as president of a rail
road at a salary of $4,000. There
are Sullivans of all grades between
these two samples. and | hope some
day to see the family re-united-if

EXPLOSION OF A LAMP
Lively Time on First Street Last
Night-Narrow Escape.

A lamp filled by mistake with gas
ohne, instead of kerosene, caused an
explosion last night on the upper flool
of b. +. Hoyt' S restaurant on First
street, and for a time things were
quite lively around there. The fire de,
partment was hastily called and re.
sponded quickly but the fire had been
nut ont before the fremen arrived.
Two beds damaged was the extent of
the loss. \ rumor rot out that Mrs.
Hoyt was severly injured, but it
proved without foundation. Hoyt s
place is the third door west of Bos-
ton on the north side of First street.
1t is a frame building, which might
have been destroyed had not quick
control Of the fire been obtained.

Suit Even Our Strong Arm President

Speaking Of the president, there 5
a man who ought to be named Sulli-
van. He's first in war, all right, all
right. Did you see where he and
Bryan had personal set to in the
white house few days ago? Billy
might have side-stepped that visit
without being called quitter, for
you may remember that Teddy said
to my friend, Willie Abbott, of Chi
cage, few days ago land after
wards denied it, that he expected
some day to have to shoot such men
as Bryan on the field of battle. Ted
dy was younger then. | think that
deep down he has the kind of respect
for Bryan that one god fighter has
for another.
Teddy, the undefeated champion
in his class, and Billy, the peerless
scrapper of the prairies, would look
good in twenty-foot ring. If they
would agree to ettle the presidential
battle in 1908 iwth hard gloves cut
ting out the kerosene oil and speeches
I'd be willing to referee it.
Yours truly,
JOHN l.. SULLIYA.

f three nights stand at the Grand

was entitled "Three of Kind" and
depicted the troubles of three men

The resemblance gave ample room for
several comical situations, and the
audience was well pleased with the
performance.
The players are away above the

The weather has been too warm to
admit of generous patronage, but
the company has arrangd for re-
turn date later in the season. when
it will no doubt be greeted with its

before him was the man whose irony
had barbed the sentence which justice
had commanded to be uttered two
years earlier, whose icy stare and
scornful smile had poisoned the pro-
nouncement. He, Gerald Larsen,
had vowed to be avenged, and al
ready he had kept his word. Pru-
dence cOunSelled him to withdraw
while opportunity and time remained
to him; admonished him, moreover,
of retribution, swift and sure, if
caught. To escape were easy, he
reflected, for the Judge was absorbed
in his book. Nor did he fear SUBJ
sequent detection; he had laid his
plans too well, and they included a
most perfect alibi.
Come then!" he said to himself,
and remained. His Honor, while
turning over a page of his book, had
slightly altered his pose. y little
more of his face was thus revealed
to the burglars keen inspection.
Gerald Larsen saw His Honor's fine
old lips wreath in a smile Of un-
conscious ironv His memory quick
ened at the sight, and his hate.
He remembered that the Judge had
smiled like that when condemning
him. remembered too how the Judge
had made him feel by word and look
and tone that he was addressed not
as an ordinary wrong dOer, but as a
pariah from his caste. Last of all,
he remembered the reprisal he had
exacted. A little while earlier it had
seemed a good revenge to take
