The Poetry OF Labor.

Toll swings the ak, and forests bow:
The seeds break out in radiant bloom,
Rich harvests smile behind the pillow,
And cities cluster round the loom;
Where towering domes and taperng
spires
Adorn the vale and crown the hill,
Stout labor lights its beacon fires,
And plumes with smoke the forge and
mill.
The monarch oak, the woodlands
pride,
Whose trunk is scanned with lightning
scars,
Toll launches on the restless tide,
And there unrolls the flag of stars;
The engine with Its lungs of flame.
And ribs of brass and joints of steel,
From Labor's plastic fingers came,
With sobbing valve and whirling
wheel.
'Tis Labor works the magic press,
And turns the crank in hives of toll,
And beckons angels down to bless
Industrious hands on sea and soil.
Here sun-browned Toll, with shining
spade,
Links lake to lake with silver ties
Strung thick with palaces of trade,
And temples towering to the skies.
When women compliment each othel

Serious Fire on Black Mountain.

A fire which started from some I'M
known cause on Black mountain Satur-
day morning has burned over large part
OF its surface. in some places reaching to
the edge of the river. Every available
man and boy of sufficient size and
strength has been pressed into service to
assist in putting out the flames. but at
this writing, Thursday morning, 1t is still
burning and our oldest residents can
remember nothing like it in the way of a
fire.
The steam mill and a large quantity
of valuable timber belonging to B. NJ
Reed, also the farm buildings of II. d.
Blood on the north and east sides of the
mountain have been in much danger. At
the south end the buildings of Albert
Fits and the valuable tract of young
pines recently set out by L. f. Holden of
Brattleboro have received close attention
The buildings at the quarry have been
protected by counter fires, as has also
the Clark quarry located on the north
east side of the mountain. where a guam
tity of gasoline is stored No estima tie
of the loss can be given now, and 1t must
necessarily be much heavier unless rain
comes soon as that is said to be the only
relief for the situation. Fortunately no
lives thus far have been lost although
several narrow escapes from the counter
fires are reported. large force of men
from Brattleboro and East Dummerston
have rendered valuable assistance.

No Faith in Postponements.-Ju
when Mrs. Ackroyd had finished pack
ing her trunks and after William
Ackroyd had bought railway tickets
for her and their, two daughters, little
bessie came down with severe case
of whooping cough. The doctor posi-
lively refused to let the child start
on a long journey, and even if he had
thought it safe for the little one to
leave home, he assured Mrs. Ackroyd
that she would not be permitted to
take the patient into a hotel any
where.
Isn't it a shame!" the distressed
lady walled. Here we are with every
thing in our trunks and my husband
has even bought our berths in the
sleeper"
1T is unfortunate, but 1 don't
know what you can do except sit down
and wait for four or five days. 1t
may be safe for you then to start
away"
When her husband got home that
evening Mrs. Ackroyd was weeping.
Don't take it so hard. dear, he
said, 1T might be good deal worse.
Our little one is likely to get along
all right. The doctor says the case
isn't an unusually severe one, and
when I telephoned him this afternoon
he said he thought it might be safe
for you to start away by the end of
the week"
II know. He told me the same
thing. But 1 feel that we'll never go.
1 never postponed anything yet that
didn't turn out sadly. I once post
poned a wedding and the marriage
never took place"
Half an hour later William Ackroyd
was still sitting in a corner alone,

How "Fire Water" Oriqinated.

When the Hudson Bay Trading
company began its trading among the
Indians it was found that by selling
the Indians liquor they could more
easily be induced to trade their pei
tries.
The first whisky, or intoXicant of
inferior quality, was distilled in Eng
land and brought to America in large
barrels, but in transporting it over
land it was found more convenient to
divide it into small kegs.
The traders soon became aware of
the fact that by distilling the whis-
ky with water more furs could be OBJ
tanned. This was practiced for
some time, but the Indians learned
that good whisky poured on a fire
would cause it to flame up, whereas,
had the whisky been diluted, the fire
would be quenched. 1t was by this
simple experiment that the term fire
water" became common word
among Indians.
\ chief who had experienced the
bad effects of whisky among his peo-
pie said it was most certainly distilled
from the hearts of wildcats and the
tongues of women, from the effects
it produced.

Due Preeautions.-In a town

Due Preeautions.-In a town In
Georgia there was an old preacher
whose knowledge Of the world was
not wide nor deep but who conceived
it to be a place where, if one should
trust his fellowmen, he should at the
same time keep an eye on his own
interests.
One hot day he pulled off his coat
and preached a vigorous sermon un-
der the pines in his shirt sleeves. AT
the close of the open air service one
of his admirers approached him and
said regretfully:
II don't suppose you know that the
editor of one of the big New York
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off your coat"
II reckon l knew it we'll, for I'd
been told of it," said the preacher
calmly. IT don't believe he's as bad
as he might be, and anyway, 1 put
my coat on the chair close by and
had it right under my eye all the
time."-Youth's Companion.

Look Before You Leap.

While 1t Is fact that there are sew
eral hundred citizens in York county
who carry from one to a half dozen
policies in the Mutual Benefit, and
each one Of them Is entirely satisfied
that they have the best there is in
life insurance, (and they are correct)
there are several hundred others who
either have none anywhere, or If they
have any at all In many instances
they have much less than they consci-
entiously believe they should have, or
than they are able to carry without
embarrassment, and to these 1 beg to
say that there will never be a better
time than during the present month
to attend to this important matter,
for the reason that you will never be
younger than you are today and II
you are In physical condition to be

time. OF course there are other good
com panies besides the Mutual Bene-
fit, and we rejoice in the fact, but
not one of them can, does or will
guarantee it's members so much or
has such record for uniformly
clean and honorable dealing behind
it. You can test the foregoing asser-
ton to your satisfaction, If you try.

wise man. Fools leap and then look.
