Loss Is immense.

Information comes from Dayton,
Wash. that the forest fires in the
Wenaha reserve are under control.
The fires have ragged ten days and
burned over large area, destroying
several million feet of timber. 1t Is
said to be the most serious that has
occurred in the Blue Mountains for a
number of years.
A special from Sites, Idaho, says
the forest fire situation in the Elk
City district is the worst in the his
tory of that region Under the in
fluence of the high winds prevailing
In the mountains for the last two
days and nights, the forest fires are
burning with redoubled fury.

BELGIUM WORLDS FAIR
DESTROYED BY FIRE

BRUSSELS.-One of the costliest
CONGREGATIONS in European history
wiped out the Belgian Exposition
Sunday night, entailing an enormous
loss, estimated at a late hour at $780,
100000. So far as known only two
persons are dead and two score sin-
jured.
The White City of the worlds fair,
as the Belgians have called their
1910 exposition, early in the evening
was mass of flames, and now is
smouldering ruins. A spark falling
into inflammable material in the tele-
graph building, burst into flames, and,
driven by high wind, swept rapid
ly in all directions.
Bands of thieves engaged in pillage
and q soldier was stabbed while at
tempting to arrest three men whom
he found rifling jewelry exhibit.
The aggregate loss will be enor-
nous. The diamond exhibitors are
heavy losers.
Exposition International.
The exposition was universal and
international, and opened in April Of
this year, to continue six months.
Prominent on the programs were
special exhibitions of various kinds,
special agricultural and horticultural
shows, congresses, conferences and
artistic and sportive feats. Special
games and competitions also received
attention
The exposition covered an area of
about 200 acres, large number of
which was reserved for foreign sec.
tons. Beside the buildings, areas,
fences, kiosks and various other
things, the grounds contained railroad
terminals, connecting with the Bel
gian State Railway.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-Within the
next 80 days the most comprehensive
efforts that have ever been made to
organize Indiana farmers into devoted
self interest will be inaugurated and
paid organizers will be at work in all

lions of dollars worth of grain from

erected from which agents of the
farmers are to sell their products di

plan is much the same as that adopt

other states, and farmers interested
in it believe it will be quite as sue

Queer PronuncIations.

There are many names of places in England that puzzle the stranger. Happisburgh, in Norfolk, for instance, Is pronounced Hazeboro, Abergavenny simply drops syllable and becomes Abervenny, and 1t is alleged that St. Neots sounds more like Shoots than anything else. Ctrencester seems to vary from Sister to Sizeter. In Suf- folk Waldringfeld Is "Wunnerfur' and Chelmondiston "Chimston," while in the adjoining county of Norfolk Hun- stanton is Funston" and in the west country Badgeworthy is "Badgery" and Cornwood "Kernood." Hunting donsh!re claims the purest English, but they call Papworth "Parpor." And not far away is another village of beauty. The motof1st turned upon q rough road and asked the intelligent iaborer where 1t would take him. "That road" said the honest country man, wiping hts brow, Twill take you to 'Ell, sir" The courageous motor list went on and found Ellsworth, which Is pronounced "Elser." Manchester Guardian.

The Dram of sha Kax.


 Some small article had been loet- forget now what: let Us say . key-b> longing to one of two sisters who were travelling together. It could nowhere be found. But one night one of tho sisters dreamed that she saw the key In the pocket of her travelling bag. She told this dream on waking to the other And have you looked in the pocketY' the sister asked "No, I have not" said she, "for the very good reason that there is no pocket in my travel ing bag" Well" said the other, "there is pocket in mine will just have look there on the chance" And there the key was found. The infer. ence is that the dreamer had seen with the eye of sense, though not with lhe eye of observation, the key put Into the pocket. Even when the key was so found she had no recollection of seeing 1t placed there, but the brain had unconsciously recorded the sensa. ton. In course of sleep 1t had stun. bled on that record, and by good luck the sleeper on awaking chanced to re member the mental operation that had taken place during sleep. It is sin gular and almost alarming reflection that our brains are stored with count less such records of which we know nothing nor ever shall know unless the association of ideas or some peculiar mental state brings them to our no hce.-Westminster Gazette.

Don't attempt to punish all your enc mics at once. You can't do a large business with a small capital. Don't say "I told you so." Two to one you never said word about it. Don't worry about another mans business. A little selfishness is sometimes con- mendable. Don't imagine that you can correct all the evils in the world. A grain of sand is not prominent in e desert. Don't mourn over fancied grievances. Bide your time, and real sorrow will come. Don't throw dust in your teachers eyes. It will only in- 1ure the pupil. Don't worry about the ice crop. Keep aool and you will have enough. Don't borrow coach to please your wife. Better make her 6 little sulky. Don't imagine that every thing is weakening. Butter is strong in this market. Don't publish your acts of charity. The Lord will keep the account straight. Don't color meerschaums for a living. It is sim. ply dyeing by inches.-Mark Twain.
