Fire Loss on Shoe Stock $7,ooo.-An
oil lamp started a blaze in the shoe
store of Carl Bufe, 2314 Fifteenth
street, yesterday, damaging the stock
and fixtures to the extent of $1,000.
Mr.. Bufe opened his store, and after
/ lighting a lamp, stepped out to the
coal shed at the rear of his store in
quest of bucket of coal. When he
returned he found the interior of his
store In flames. An alarm of fire was
sounded, and quick response by the
department saved the building from
total destruction. The heat damaged
every pair of shoes in the building.
Mr.. Bufe is unable to account for the
fire. He thinks that perhaps several
boxes containing shoes must have fall
en- from the shelves and overturned the
lamp. Only rs per cent of his stock is
insured, but the loss on his building
is covered by insurance He has been
in the shoe business here for 10 years,
having erected the frame building at
2314 Fifteenth street

Divorce Suit Climax to Trouble
The troubles of the Flood family have
ended in a suit for divorce and an
original notice has been filed with the
sheriff in which Flood asks for a de-
cree from his wife and charges her
with cruel and inhuman treatment.
Saturday Flood appeared at the police
station and asked the police to send
someone to his home on Mckinley
avenue as he was afraid his wife had
done something to the children. An
officer went there and the woman told
him she was very i'll and had not sent
the children TO school because she
was afraid their father would kidnap
them. In the meantime the truant Of
ficer got busy and found the children
were not at school so he notified the
father to have them at school unless
he wanted to be placed under arrest.
Flood said he could do nothing with
them as they were at the house on Nc
Kinley avenue with his wife and he
would not go there under any consid-
Grafton. He claimed that his wife had
ordered him out and he would not go
back The wife claimed that there
was nothing to eat in the house, but
Flood said there were II bushels of
potatoes in the cellar, three sacks of
flour in the attic and plenty of coal
in the shed. Finally he left the sta
ton and the next chapter was added
to the story yesterday when the orig
inal notice was filed with the sheriff
in which the husband asks for a de-
cree and charges his wife with cruel
and inhuman treatment.

Last summer there drifte6 into Ran
dolph a self-styled Statewide painter''
who during his short stay inserted in the
/ Herald and News somewhat remarkable
advertisements which local painters re-
I garded with considerable amusement but
with little seriousness, believing that
their impression would vanish with the
departure of their author. Recently the
same individual has fiOated in again, and
with his arrival has come another series
OF spectacular advertisements in the Her
aid and News which, by implication,
credit the local painters with anything
but good painting, aRd claim for the adj
vertiser rare combination OF white lead
and brains, turpentine and artistic abili-
ty. Few persons are likely to be misled
by the implication; but lest some may, it
ought to be stated that there are painters
in Randolph who had used tons OF pure
white lead and barrels of pure turpentine
before the advertiser began his study Of
the subject, and who ever since have been
mixing and applying durable paint in a
somewhat intelligent way without deem
ing it necessary to publicly proclaim the
amount Of brain power involved in the
process or to expend any OF that power in
preparing advertisements OF the circus
side-show variety.
The fact that for years Randolph has
been generally considered the best paint
ed town in The state would seem to indi-
cate that one can be a "white-leaderp
without being swelled-header, and that
the town has had other than "hit-or- /
miss" "paint spreaders" in the past.
II the local painters have not become
Statewide" it may be because their fell I
low citizens have found them useful
enough to be kept at home; and perhaps,
too, they have feared that to turn good |
local trade into a statewide "art'' might
be spreading it out too thin for the best
results.
There are exceptions to all rules, but, /
believing that good mechanics, like good /
physicians, are rarely found drifting from
place to place, the painters OF Randolph /
will probably remain and continue to do 4
as best they can the work that comes /
their way, with confidence that their
studS and experience lin some instances
over an entire life time), even
If proclaimed only by results, has not
been wasted. F. A. Phillips.
