CAN'T THEY BE CHECKEDY

Mountain Fires still Continue to Rage
FuriolsIy in Our Nearby Mountains.
Reporters Help to Fight Many.
In last weeks issue your correspond
ent X announced that one of the largest
mountain fires known in his vicinity rag
ed on Saturday night and all day Sunday
in the territory of the Garden of Rocks
Carick's Knob and Spoke Tree. This we
do not doubt in the least, but the one
now raging in our near by mountains is
with out doubt the largest in the his
tory of the State. We can also say that
thousands of acres of valuable timber
has been destroyed by the recent forest
fires. On Thursday evening of last week
reporters tell us that the fire is burning
on the near by mountains measured near
ly six miles long and very closely to a
quarter of mile in width. Men and
boys and in several places women and
young ladies were compelled to fight the
fires in order to save their homes from
being burned. Had it not been for
change of the wind at early hour Thurs
day evening several homes would with
out doubt have been burned to the
ground, Reporters of the different news
papers who were at the scenes tell us
that the heat of the fire was so intense
that it was impossible to get within a
distance of hundred feet of the fire.
We are also told that the beautiful
mountaint at Pen-Mar have all been burn
ed over by the fire. All day on Sunday
Nov. Sth) persons living near Pen-Mar
were compelled to fight the fires in order
to save their homes.
Surely these fires can be checked and
this could be done in very short time
if some of our young friends living in the
vicinity of the burning territory would
only devote some of their spare time in
helping their older friends i'll putting out
the flames. You could not do your neigh
Dor greater favor than helping him to
save his property which is being destroy
ed. Remember that your fathers and
forefathers had to do this, if you wish to
follow in their footsteps, do the same.
Leave the hunting of birds and rabbits
alone and help put out the fire; you shall
receive reward for this good cause, but
you shall not receive any for the killing
of the birds and other game, ThiI, how
ever, is not the case of the young folks
living in the vicinity of Thurmont and
Mt. st. Mary's, for on Sunday of last
week when the fire was raging so furi-
ously about the institution of Mt. st.
Mary's, am told that not only the old
people of that vicinity but boys as well
and several of the fathers from the col
lege and the pastor of st. Anthony's
took an active part in fighting the flames
and by their good work the fire was put
out at an early hour on Sunday evening.
| am also told that forest fire in the
mountains near the college institution
has yet for the first time to become toe
great for the fighters to check. This
certainly says a great deal for the fight
ers in that vicinity. If some of our idlers
living near the present burning district
would take lesson from the fighters of
our vicinity and follow their example they
will with out doubt receive reward such
as these men are receiving. }.

ONLY SURVIVOR OF
cORNERSvILLE CLUB
Col. J. X. Street. vetean Newspaper
Man OF Dallas was In the City
NaefArd

Col. j. X. Street, veteran newspa-
per NAN whose home has for several
years been In Dallas, was here yester-
day mingling with friends, his mis-
sion being TO claim the last bottle Of
wine of the Cornersville Club, left
with the records of the club in the
custody of the BraZos county Judge
when the survivors few in number,
disbanded the organization In 1S99.Of
the sixteen schoolmates of Corners
vile, Tenn, who organized the club in
1872, after coming to Texas, Col.
Street alone survives. DIR. Mitchell,
Messrs. Jim and Whit Mitchell and
Col Harve Mitchell. all of Bryan, and
now deceased, were members of the
club.
AT the organization of the club each
OF the members sealed bottle Of
lowing the death OF each member, the
bottle of wine which he had sealed
was opened and partaken of in tribute
70 his memory by the survivors. The
last dinner preceded the depositing
OF the records and remaining bottle
of wine.
Upon investigation yesterday, it was
found that the deposit was made with
the agreement that it should remain
until the fiftieth anniversary of the
organization of the club, and then go
to the last survivor should any be liv-
ing.
There was depth of pathos in the
presence of the last solitary and ven
cradle figure amid scenes that wit.
messed former meetings of this band
OF devoted friends yet the benign
smile that lit his kindly face bespoke
the impress OF this beautiful life long
friendship upon his soul and gave to
finite isolation the glorious halo of
immortality and the promise that soon
again there will be no silent voice at
roll call, and pain, sorrow, death and
separation shall be no more forever.

"Cbristianitp not d failure"
From the London News.

Presence was what He needed. THINK
YOU not that I can pray to my Heavenly
Father now and He shall send TO me what
is more value to me than ten leSlonS OF
angels? And He did. He died as He had
lived a strong. clean. healthful Prophet
of the soul, with no wavering. no lack of
faith in the triumph of this simple, ulti-
mate process of redeeming man. He died
as He had lived. a child of God
HAS Christianity then been failure?
Yes if the success of Christianity is to
be measured by the multiplication of
dogmas. it has been failure. If it is
to be measured by perpetuating any one
, type of mind to the exclusion of all others
it is doomed TO be a failure. If, however
the essence of Christianity is not to Go
that but to take us as we are, Pam
Peter, John and James. to put one at ms
utmost capacity of moral action TO COM
fort his fears, to remove his unwhole-
some doubts, and to release him from
all servility and bondage. to inspire him
with the conviction that this is the day of
the Lord-the religion of the NaZarene is
a. triumph. It has never failed and can
never fail"
