 O. E. W. THE TOMBSTONE GIRL.

Tombstone s;.!s arc pretty; Tombstone girls are sweet;
 Rosy lips,
 Lustrous eyes.
 Dsiuty, little feet. Radiant as the roses, L ke the lilies fair, Matchless in its splendor Is their beauty rare. Graceful in their movements, SylphIike in their form, Net the Queens of Egypt Might rival them in charm. Black or auburn tresses, Hair of golden hue; Eyesdark ss the midnight, Or tinged with heaven's blue. Like unto the violet Growing on the lawn; Like the blush of sunshine In the early dawn; Like an angel toying With . ssrsying curl: Peerless in her hssusy, Stsnds the Tombstone girl,

Over Five Thousand Homeless and

Winnipeg, August 3.-As the re-

been wiped off the map; Michael, IA
miles distant. is in flames, and the
fate of Hosmer, Olsen and Sparwood
intervening towns, is liz doubt, they
being cut off from all communica
ton. Over 100 lives are known to
have been lost, seventy-four of them
in Fernie alone. A territory of 100
square miles in extent is a seething
mass of flames. Through it are scat
tered hundreds os lumbermen and
prospectors, so that the actual loss of
life will not be known for several
days; the track of the Canadian Pa
cific and the Great Northern rail-
roads hsve been destroyed and the
bridges and rolling stock burned, so
that it is impossible to enter or leave
the burning area. The inhabitants of
the town have fled to open districts

up from the west and early in the
afternoon flames sprang up over the

They ran down the mountain sides
and before fire guard could be or

inhabitants sought safety in flight,

these have groups of refugees.
