O'Neils family were suddenly awakened
and found their fine dwelling house
enwrapped in flames. The family barely
escaped with their lives. The entire
contents of the house were destroyed as
we'll as the building, besides consider
able sum of money. The cause of the
fire is a mystery rs their cooking stove
was in the summer kitchen, and there
hadn't been fire in any stove in the
house for a week. The property was
insured in The Wrightstown Insurance
Co., but only for about one third OF its
value, and the loss over and above the
insurance will reach $4,000. On Wed

wedding, besides having bee to raise a

Joke on Lord Kelvin.

Lord Kelvin, when he was Sir VIII
liam Thomson, had, as professor of
natural philosophy, an assistant
named Day, who took his lectures for
him in his absence When the pro
fessor returned the students would
listen eagerly to him, and for the first
ten minutes or so he spoke clearly
and intelligently to all. BY and by,
however, some new idea would sug-
gest itself, and he would follow 1t out
in his lecture, getting more and more
beyond the depth of his hearers, until
at last not one of them could under
stand him. On one occasion student
remarked: Work while 1t is yet
Day, for the (kl night cometh when no
man can work"

HIS FATHERS
LOVE LETTERS
By ELLEN DOUGLAS DELAND.

They had often been in similar
straits before, for poverty was an old
story to them, but to Philippa mat
tiers had never seemed quite as hope
less as they did that night.
Philippe Coke was 80, beautiful.
proud and self contained, and sup
ported herself and her mother by her
pen.
Yet with a host of friends, she was
singularly alone. Jack was in China,
and there was no one in Boston to
whom she cared to confess their ex-
IRENE poverty.
And now tonight had come mott
fication from the bank. She had over
drawn her account. She longed for
the power to write story that would
compel attention, that would fill her
empty purse for the present, at least,
but her imagination seemed to be com
pletely exhausted.
She walked about the room holding
pressure on the head might possibly
produce ideas. And then, suddenly,
strangely, an idea was produced. The
letters! She paused in her walk-the
letters! She sat down and faced the
idea.
She had been engaged to Jack Rich
mond for almost year. He had urged
her to marry him before he sailed
away on his three years sea service
Che was in the navy, to become his
wife, even though it were impossible
for her to leave her mother to meet
him on the other side of the world, but
she had refused
Shortly before he sailed for the Ash.

Were Superstitious, Too.

A woman who takes her super
stitions seriously started to enter
big department store one morning last
week when she noticed a porter on
tall stepladder that stretched directly
across the doorway, says the New
York Press In spite OF the fact that
there were five women behind her
eager to pass into the shop she came
to sudden halt. looked up at the lad
der and cried out, ooh. I'll never walk
under that" saying which she turned
and strobe away. Before she had
gone far her sense OF humor rose su-
perior to her fear of ladders, and she
looked to see II her remark had had
any effect on those who had been
within sound Of her voice. Walking
directly behind her were the five
women who had heard her exclana
ton.

tiers as his most valuable possession to
keep while he was gone. They were
letters which had been written by his
father and mother in their youth.
When Jack first became engaged to
philippa Coke he had given them to
her to read. She found them of abb
sorbing interest and her professional
training and instinct told her at once
their value. Why should not the let
ters be published? Jack had recoled
In horror at the suggestion. His eyes
had grown dark and stern when he
heard her

ippa! 1t cant be you who are sug-
costing it,"
SO Philippa sat there far into the
night and thought it over.
Jack objected to their publication
as the letters of his father and moth
