NIGHT WATCAMAN
DISCOVERS A FIRE
Grocey Store is Saved from
the Fire Fiend.
In a Few More Minutes a Business
Room Would Have Been sccth-
ing Furnace.

If Ave;y Crabb, the merchants
policeman, fails to accomplish any
thing more for the period of two
years, he has earned his salary II
was due to his watchfulness that
the grocery store of Zachman and
Myers of South Main street, was not
heap of ashes this morning.
1t was shortly after 300 this morn
ing when Crabb happened along In
front of the grocery. When trying
the door he noticed something that
looked like smoke in the rear of the
building There was no fire visible
and for e few minutes he believed
that II was only vapor In the room.
He summoned Captain Of Police Link
Bond A hasty investigation revealed
nothing certain but II was thought
best to notify the fire department.
Alarm No. 55 was turned In and
departments Nos. and responded.
When the department arrived, the
flames were just breaking through
the floor Had the fire been left fif-
teen minutes longer, the store would
have been ruine1. The firemen eS-
t'nguished the blaze with the use of
chemicals.
The blaze originated from a gas
floor sunk in the rear part of the
store. The heat from the gas burners
ignited a joist in the floor. 1t had un-
doubtedly been smouldering for some
time and was just breaking out in
force when discovered. The smoke
was penned up in the basement and
the grocery stock was not damaged
A large hole several feet in diameter
was burnsd through the floor. Other
wise no damage resulted.

FISHERMEN ARE
IN DIRE WANT
BY United Press Wire.

og Onittu Eftoo w hts
Paris, Dec. 22.--Another appeal
was made to the government today
in behalf of the thousands of sardine
fishermen along the Atlantic coast,
who are in dire want as q result OF
the intrusion of steam fishing vessels
and an agreement among sardine
canneries as to the number of tons
of fish they will accept daily.
For the first time in several years,
sardines are plentiful now along the
coast and thousands of fishermen re-
turned to their old haunts expecting
a prosperous season. Fleets of steam
fishing vessels, however, have prac-
tically supplanted the old style of
fishing and according to the Gamers
are able to supply all the fish needed.
On the Brittany coast about the
only occupation of the people is fish
ing, and It is here that the suffering
centers. Two hundred thousand peo-
pie are said to be In distress.

Moreover, she had a faint suspicion
that the girl had read her shopping

vantage of previous experience. The
look on the girls face changed from
one of fatigue frightened by hope, to
one of fatigue shadowed by hopeless
ness.

characteristic brevity of the season

I could not express the deep wretched-
ness Of the drunkards wife. The most
terrible punishment spoken Of in antiquity
was that devised by Mezentius, who some
times put a person to death by claiming
to him a corpse face to face. The putre-
faction of the corpse gradually killed the
living man. The drunlkard's wife Is
chained in this way to a loathsome horror
chained with no hopes of release. save
that which the grave may bring TO one
or the other or to both.

which to build n pyramid to his own
honor. He got the skulls and built tho
pyramid. but If the bones of broken
hearted wives could be piled up they would
make a pyramid blushing to the skies.
And when these inebriate husbands are
fathers, as most of them are, IL Is i'm

auences that will give an idea of their

OF all the curses ever inflicted on woman

the hand that once gave the wedding ring

pour forth the foulest curses of the pit;
it has made children fly from the fathers

monster.
