A GOOD STORY.

The story is going the rounds of how two of Monroe's promising young men drove to an adjoining town, one re-
 cent Wednesday evening for the pur- pose of canvassing for nursery stock. Arrived at their destination evidently
 they forgot(?) to take their canvass ing outfit from the buggy but not un- daunted they spent the evening swith some very nice young ladies who just happened to be at home. The horse hearing the 9.30 curfew bell ring and being of a sensible turn of mind, de-
 cided There's no place like home," and leaving the bridle attached to the post as legal notice of his intentions started for the Monroe line. Had it not been for the fortunate passing of ore of our local automobilists and some friends at this time, who quickly over took and captured the fugitive, our friends might have had long and weary walk home, which after such strenuous entertainment would have been exceptionally severe. The driver of the outfit being duly notified of the flight and capture of his steed, rushed from the house uttering the consoIing phrase, "I'll be back" and then much to the amazement and 'chagrin of our equine friend he was driven back to his former station, where he was obliged to regale himself on post-meat and fresh air until midnight hour, no doubt. The canvassing outfit was un- injured in the fray. Now, young men, take heed; you know not what hour the horse may leave you, so use an au- tomobile or bicycle, and don't stay late.

the last shock coming on the afternoon of July 3. The chimney was wrecked and the bolt passed through the attic and splintered the woodwork in two bedrooms and the kitchen. When the storm broke, Mrs Hawley took refuge in the pantry with two small boys, Honas Marshal, a farm hand, and Howell F. Morton of New Haven, a summer boarder. Splinters from the kitchen flew around them but they were not injured. The damage is covered by insurance and repairs were made this week. The house was struck twice last summer.

YOU WILL BE INTERESTED in the message told by this advertisement be- cause it describes A PLEASANT WAY to take Cod Liver Oil, an extremely valuable food-medicine whose good qualities have up to the present time been handicapped by the bad qualities it possesses in the shape of it's nause- ating taste and it's tendency to dis order the stomach and interfere with digestion.
 If you have been ordered or advised to take cod liver oil; if you have ever taken or are now taking cod liver oil, or if you think you ought to take it, it will be to your advantage as well as to ours for you to try C. o. D. TAB LETS which are pure Norwegian Cod Liver Oil condensed in tablet form.

ATTRACTIVE MAUWEHoo LAKE.
 The editor enjoyed a visit to Mau- wehoo lake, on Friday, as the guest of George ". Durgy. It is certainly a very pretty and attractive body of wa. ter. The lake measures around it just a mile and 600 feet and is about a half mile long. Some seven or eight boats have already been placed on the lake, and on Saturday afternoon or evening
 the lake presents lively and inviting appearance. It is planned in the near l future to have a board walk along the north side of the lake which would be ideal. The Mauwehoo summer colony includes delightful group of people including Rev Warren Wilson and fam | fly, w. B. Tiebout and family, Dr Sid- ney Smith and family, MT Godfrey and family, J. r. Bidstrup and family, MT Munch and family, MT Mallinson and family, W. H. Crittendon and family and others. They are all from Brooklyn and New York and the colony is likely to be increased by the arrival of other families in the next few years. MT Durgy has many attractive building sites on his farm, near the lake, which will be taken up very soon, The Bee predicts. Mir Smith was entertained at luncheon by MT and Mrs Durgy, and was given ride around the lake in one of the boats.

 ATTRACTIVE SPRING LAKE,
 Your correspondent. in company with a friend went to Spring Lake, last Monday, and were given the pleas ure of boat ride around the lake, stopping at the different points of in- terest. First, the dam which is fine piece of masonry, and from there walk up the m ountain side to see the ingenuity displayed in conducting supply of water from the mountain stream down to the lake and yet far ther up the stream to witness some miniature Colorado scenery of ravines, caused by the rushing water, of several feet, 30 or more in depth, which as MT Hawes says, must be seen to be appre- ciated. The next point of interest is the ideal picnic ground on the noun tain side of the lake and near very cold spring of water, where we hope to enjoy many pleasant gatherings in the near future.

Two Fires Last Week.

Madison was twice visited by the
fire fiend last week AID as a result
of such visitations a cozy home and
livery stable were consumed.

the town where it was seen that the

burning The Gre brigade was slow
very slow, in turning out, and when
the reels finally reached the scene it
was too late for any service to the
burning building. Adjacent Irop-
erty was looked after and the fire
was confined to the one house. The
origin Of the fire is unknown The
house with pretty much all Of It's fur
nishings was entirely consumed. We
are told that the loss is partially
covered by insurance.
About ten O'Clock Friday night
the livery stable aud barns Of the
MeLeary boys were totally destroy
ed. The early hour OF the fire
brought nearly everybody in town
to the scene, and the live stock in
the stables and few Of the vehicles
were saved from the flames The
fire seems to have originated in The
loft among the feed stuff. When
discovered the flames were under
