certain citizen of modest means was taking a bath in the somewhat chilly at mosphere of an apartment house bath room. As he was shivering ard splash ing. he heard an explosion below Im- mediately there was great excitement. People hurried to and fro. and several women began to scream. Before he was aware of his danger, flames shot past the window and began to eat through the floor where he was. A fellow-lodger rushed up the stairs. tried the bathroom door and, finding 1t locked, shouted, Come out! The house is on firel" The man in the tub calmly watched the flames darting thls way and that, and then shouted back "Aw, wait a while, This Is the first time the blamed bath room has been warm this winter.t'
 FOR TODAY. Lilt along. lit along,
 Hoping for the best; Love will draw the sweetest song From a heart opprest, Lit along lit along,
 Come what fortunes may Clouds will gloom and plans go wrong That's the old worlds way!

 Yes; but you rarely see one of those sweater queens who has much respect for a broom and a dust-pan."

The lumber yard is fully a mile from The Age Herald building in an opposite section of the city and yet The Age-IIerald's electric light and power supply was entirely cut off for 55 minutes.
