"Young man," said the editor to the new reporter, "you lack caution. You must learn never to state a thing as a fact until it has been proved a fact. You are apt to get us into libel suits.

Costly Fire Caused by Eagle.

The first grass fire of the year, and extending over 800 acres of land, owned by Truxtun Beale, occurred recently south of this city. The fire was start ed, it is said, by the burning up of a large eagle which lighted on one of the big Edison power line wires and was electrocuted. The eagle in alighting touched two wires with his wings and a short-circuit was formed.
 Two men witnessed the burning mass drop to the ground, starting the fire, and later investigation disclosed the charred remains of the bird. The fire burned a swath four miles long and two miles wide.-San Francisco Chronicle.

it, We always kept it wrapped in the
shawl until 1t was able to walk. One
day while the child was toddling about
the yard, the shawl was stolen. This
seemed very strange to us, because we
wondered who would want the old
shawl. Soon after this the baby sud
denly died.
One evening l found package in
the yard and opening it, discovered
it to be the old shawl. A note pinned
on it read, 81 stole this shawl from the

So you may have the shawl again."

Because the shawl reminded me of
the lost baby, which had learned to
love so much, l put it away in the
chest. One day, long afterwards
grandpa went into the garret for some
thing and he imagined he heard baby
cry. The sound seemed to come from
the chest: he opened it, but saw only
the old shawl. He was frightened and
taking hammer from the shelf on the
wall, nailed the top fast, and it has
remained thus until to-day. That is
the story of the faded shawl, my dears,

The children were all very much
excited. For days and weeks they had

from the city, they would go the day
before the wedding and come home the
day after There were yet two days
remaining until the appointed time,
and already each one of the five chill
dren had his or her little gift wrapped
up and marked either "To Grandpa"
or ITO Grandma"

we're crowded into the carriage, which

cried, "Hurrah for Grandfather's, and

Many cookies, nuts, and such things
we're slyly slipped into pockets, to be
eaten later by those who were too we'll

After dinner they were sent to the
garret. There they were to find a
chest in which was grandmother's
wedding dress which she had worn
so many years, before. The garret had
always been mysterious place to
the children, and they decided to see
what they could find. Strings Of
onions and corn hung from the rafters.
In the corner stood the spinning wheel;
next to it the reel; there boxes and
lumber were piled high and everywhere
they looked was something that told
of bygone days. Suddenly one child
cried, "Oh, here is the chest, but it
is nailed shut. | wonder what all is
in it," Opening it they found it to
be filled with old fashioned clothes.
Grandmother's dress was there and
grandfather's old army coat. "But
what is this" cried one girl. "Oh an
old silk shawl. How soft and nice,
although it is old and faded" cried
another. Let us ask grandma who
it belonged to-" To this they agreed
and soon stood before her begging for

Reynoldsville Posters
in Youngstown, Ohio

Richard A. Warnock, proprietor Of
the Diamond News Stand at Youngs-
town, Ohio, is the guest of his sisters,
Mrs. M. M. Fisher and Mrs. A. j. Dis
harte, in this place this week. Until a
few years ago Mr.. Warnock was a
familiar figure on the streets of Reyn-
oldsville and has many friends who will
be glad to learn that since going to
Youngstown he has been exceptionally
successful and built up an independent
business for himself. His career in
that city is best told by one of the lead
ing business mGa Of Youngstown, who
recently wrote as follows to Reynolds
Vile man:
"Mr. Warnock came here five or six
years ago and from piano box sold
newspapers in the public square. Our
citizens, seeing that Mr.. Warnock was
progressive and not being inclined to
take advantage OF his condition by i'm
posing on the public, raised by subscrip-
tion and erected newsstand on our
public square, in which Mr.. Warnock
has been doing large business the past
i've years. Mr.. Warnock has the good
will of everybody and everybody in the
citv knows him. Richard has snug
bank account and does not seek the aid
OF anyone, being independent by close
attention to his business"
This shows we'll what honesty and
pluck can accomplish in spite of almost
insurmountable difficulties. Youngs-
town is going to hold an Old Home
Week in June and recently when Mr..
Warnock visited the headquarters he
was agreeably surprised to notice lot
OF posters and other advertising matter
for Reynoldsville's Old Home Week
in conspicuous places. Later he learned
that the secretary of the Reynoldsville
Business Mems Association had been
cooperating with the secretary of the
Youngstown association in getting the
celebration planned.
