Barn and Contents Burned.


F. C. Wilder, who lives on R.
F. D. route No. I, had the misfor-
tune to lose by fire Sunday morn
ing his barn with its entire contents
except the horses and cattle. This
happened between 8 and 9 O'Clock,
Mr.. Wilder had finished his chores
but few rninutesprevious. When
he discovered the fire, it had made
such headway that he could save
only the horses and cattle. Neigh
bors arrived as soon as possible, but
too late to render much assistance.
Three swine, 20 hens, about 10
tons of hay, 3 wagons, new moving
machine, all his farming tools, har-
nesses, and a quantity of lumber
were consumed. There was 20 in
surance.
1t is believed the fire was due to
the explosion of an oil heater which
was burning in the hen house. The
dwelling house, which was very
near the barn did not take fire as
the wind blew the sparks in the OPP
posite direction. Mr.. Wilder will
rebuild as soon as possible. He
has much sympathy from the COM
munity in his loss.

What Newspapers Are.

A teacher of public school sub
mitted to her class a number of
questions not in the textbooks, and
requested that the answers be re-
turned in manuscript. Among the
the subjects was the question, "What
Are Newspapers % A bright boy
handed in the following essay:
Newspapers are sheets of paper on
which stuff to read is printed. The
men look over the paper to see if
their names is in it, and the women
use it to put on shelves and such.
I don't know how newspapers came
) into the world. / don't think God
does. The Bible says nothing
about editors and | never heard of
one being in Heaven. I guess the
edit ors is the missing link them fel
lers talk about. The first editor /
ever heard of was the feller who
wrote up the food. He has been
here ever since. Some editors be-
long to church, and some try to
raise whiskers, AMI all of them lies;
at least, all I know, and l only know
one. Editors never die. At least,
1 never saw a dead one. Some
times the paper dies, and then the
people feels glad, but some one
starts it up again. Our paper is a
mighty poor one, but we take it so
ma can use it on our pantry shelves.
Our editor don't amount to much,
but paw says he had poor chance
when he was boy. He goes with
out underclothes in winter, has no
socks, and has wife to support
him. Paw hasn't paid his subscrip-
in five years and doesn't inten d to. ="

MOUNTAIN GUIDES FAIL HER.
Miss Peck WI Make Another Attempt
Upon the Highest Andean Peak.

Miss Annie Peck, whose chief pleas
ure is climbing mountains, has re-
turned to New York from Peru, beaten
in her attempt to climb the highest
OF the Andes, beaten not by the noun
tain itself, but the worthlessness OF
the men she employed as guides and
porters on the expedition. She is con-
vinced that she would have reached
the summit but for the faults Of her
men and says she is going back with
Swiss mountain men to make another
attempt.
AS II was she reached a height OF
$4,000 feet, being then about 1000 feet
above the summit. This was at her
first attempt One Of her men deserted
and the rest got drunk on the alcohol
which was carried as fuel for cook
ing. Besides they were all afraid of
the trip and especially as they ap-
preached the top OF the mountain. OF
which they have a superstitious dread.
The second attempt was like the
first, except that the men gave out
sooner and so less progress was made
before the attempt had to be aband'
oned.
