wrong shoulders. 1t in no degree
rests upon either the business or pub
lie social side Of American life, says
Washington Post. The responsibility
for such an outcome must be borne By
those who are in duty bound to give
their children right views Of life. The
sight Of young girl, however precc
cious. going to city like New York
without friends or advisers to whom
che would listen, and very evidently
head-strong and impulsive. there to
spend two years writing book and
precious manuscripts which she ro.
mantically wishes to be buried with
her. calls forth nothing but pity. But
this sentiment does not obscure the
fact that the girl was permitted to
gain false view Of herself and her
relations with the world. Acts such
as hers in no degree justify the whole
sale condemnation of the business life
or our cities Or warrant the sweeping
tatement Of a young girl facing at
once both womanhood and eternity in
saying that "a girl cannot get along
honorab1y In New York"

forest fires which are devastating the
whole of the northern half of Roseau

across the Rainy river to the north.
Seventy five blackened corpses
have been found in the path of the
flames, and a vast area is yet to be
searched for dead. 1t is the worst
horror of its kind since the Hinkley
fre s15 years ago.

mile of the town of Rainy River is
burnt over,
Four large lumber mills, with their
yards have gone, 80 miles of railway
have been destroyed, one freight train
has pitched through bridge into the
river, and all communication has
been cut off. :

going out after the injured, the dead
and the demented.
On Friday night at o'clock a cy-
clone of fire struck Beaudette and
Spooner, and within three minutes
after the first alarm every building
was ablaze Within an hour all were
heaps of ashes.
