For the second time in less than
twelve months the Florence & Cripple
Creek railroad shops in this city have
been destroyed by FIRE, and in both
cases the flames are believed to have
had their origin in the same cause.
In both instances The fire was at night
and In each case entailed a heavy
loss upon the owners, the amount
this time being estimated at approx
lmately $4,000.
The fire on Friday night was dis
covered a few minutes before IL
O'Clock, and II thought to have result
ed from an imperfectly insulated
electric wire used for conveying power
into the building, a short circuit ig-
hitting the rafters. which were about
the only wood used in the interior OF
the structure. except the heavy pine
flooring. Although the flames were
seen by the watchman and the night
employees. who were at work In the
yards, before much damage had been
done, they were unable TO check their
progress, owing to the draft that pass
ed out through the long ventilator on
the top OF the building, which acted as
a chimney. stimulating the fire within
to fierceness that was almost ire
sistable.
An alarm was turned in and was
promptly responded to by the fire de-

in the shops undergoing repairs, and,
with the splendid machinery which
the shops contained were nearly ruin
ed in consequence of the terrific heat
to which they were subjected. The
locomotives will have to be stripped
and practically rebuilt in order to be
of any value, but whether they will
undergo that expense. or be consigned
to the junk pile remains to be seen.
These locomotives are known on the
register of the railroad company as
No. One, No Eight and No. Twenty-Five,
and they have been in the shops for
several weeks, the repairs on each of
them having cost several hundred dol
lars. Engine No. s, would have been
ready to leave the shops and so into

Tuesday OF next week, while No.
Twenty-Five would have been out in
the course of week or ten days.

the shops were fitted, was damaged to

What is Worn

Fur stoles are broader than in earl
Ter seasons.
Fringes are once more making a
heavy bid for popularity.
Pompadour ribbon continues to be
used for girdles on the handsomest
gowns.
Among the most fashionable plumage
is that of the owl in natural colors.
Instead Of an all white gown many
of the lace and chiffon dresses are
made with little boleros Of bright col
ored silk or satin.
Both high collar and cravat make
the neck finish that best suits high
vest openings.
While the length Of short sleeves
falls about midway the lower arm, long
gloves are still necessary to wear with
them.
II the debutante must economic and
make each gown serve variety OF
purposes. she had best select a gown OF
white or cream crepe de Chine.
The so-called imitation marabout is
made from young turkeys feathers.
and is very soft and, fluffy, in natural
brown shades.
Auto wells are generally from three
to four and one-half yards long and M
least the width II not twice the width
Of the material chosen.
Grapes and foliage constitute many
of the smart now little boat-shaped
toques. the velvet leaves giving the
note Of color which the grapes follow
with a frosted greenish cast of the
satoe shade.

recently threw the task Of cooking on
the boys Of a Montgomery county

Of the easiest dishes cooked so ne
made up his mind that he would give
the family rice for the first meal
After considerable trouble he managed
to find a gallon measure full about the
pantry, and this he put in a large two
gallon pot. filed the pot up with water
and placed it on the stove. BY adding
water from time to time, putting more
pots and a dishpan in service. the
family had the honor Of sitting down to
Pats" first meal. which consisted Of
four two gallon pots, two dishpans and
seven half-gallon jars Of rice.

Shall Not Dream?

shall not dream. when dreaming brings
such visions fair that my heart sings
In rapture at the drawing near
OF thee, sweet maid, with eyes whose clear
Yet mystic depths e'er seem TO hide
Al coduetry personihedy
Shall not dream, when Dreamland breeze
Whispers a name love to hear;
It's lullaby sung TO the trees,
Is echoing coyly. BERTHE eearF
Shall not dream when DER my bed
There shyly bends a fairy head.
And on my lips are softly pressed
TWO pouting lips and thus caresseu
IL seems in Eden's bowers L hide
NV soul aglow with new found prldet
An joy to dream on night and day
To feel thy gentle presence near
No tedious hours to live away;
All that were glorious, BERTHE dear
In Dreamland's bowers, how sweet our rest
couch of roses IS our nest
You gently slumber, happily sigh
With ecstacy, and 80 do /.
The perfume of your breath Is liked
with all the scents the roses mixed.
Your parted lips. their tender smile
Betray your thoughts, and ii seems clear
That you at least once in while
DO muse upon me. Bertie dear.
Your snow white breast-its rise and fall
Acts as does subtle Cupids call,
To wake emotion from its sleep,
A tryste with you and ] to keep.
And melody is lin gring nigh
BespOken by each blissfw sigh.
You rule as Dreamland's Queen on Grace
And I with JOY that's almost fear
Then gaze upon your Angel face
Which haunts me ever, BERTHE dear.
Shall I not dream ?-you listen then
No matter what / say. or when
/ bring my plea. you answer aye
And in my arms contented sigh
Could waking hours be sweet as these?
II need not Dreamland then. TO please.
All. as you read these words I write,
Pray at my ardor do not sneer
As tenderly / say-"Good night"
Auf Wiedersehen, BERTHE Dear.
