He hurried to the nearest acces-
sible telephone, but just as he
reached it, the siren whistle
sounded the alarm.
The hose carts were at the
scene in short order, and two
streams were playing onto the
rear Of the Braden store, before
most the firemen were aware
that Nickisch's store too was a
seething mass of flames on the
inside. The Braden store fire
appears to have had a greater
start, and flames breaking out
on the outside. made the danger
there more apparent. As soon
as the grave danger to and from
the Nickisch store was noted, one
hose was sent against the fire
there. By this time the fire
which had gained big headway
in the rear on account Of the in
f1ammable character of the mat
tresses and other goods stored
there, had broken through and
was spreading both over the
upstairs rooms and the main
show room. both filled with fur
niture and other merchandise
easily set af1ame.
Both fires had started from
the rear, and while the wind
was not strong. the breeze aided
the spread of the flames through
the inside of both buildings.
While all were toiling with
frenzied zeal. there was an ex-
plosion in the Braden store, which
sent both big plate glass
windows in thousand pieces
crashing to the sidewalk. But
here the fire was we'll in control;

complete loss. Buildings saved
with slighter damage.

This morning, soon after mid
night the S. N. Braden and T.
Nickisch furniture stores, both
on Main street, were discovered
to be on fire, and the alarm sent
in brought out a prompt response
from the fire department and
citizens. By doing some quick
work at the most strategic points
of the burning buildings, the
flames were under control within
As minutes from the arrival of
the department.
The alarm was turned in by
Mr.. Barton, who conducts the
bakery across the street from
Braden's store. Sleeping up
stairs, with window open
towards the fire, he was awaken
ed by the smell Of the smoke
which seemed to blow right
against the front of his building,
and thus discovered the fire.
Patrolman Smith noticed the fire
when a couple of blocks down
Main street, just as he was going
towards the endangered district.

RustiCated at zimmermann'S, S,

Sunday afternoon the ladies of
st Mary's society were hostesses
to over a hundred of their friends
at the hospitable Anton thinner
mann ranch, a mile south of
White Butte. Some fifteen autos
loaded to the guards" had
brought on the visitors, where
everybody soon found congenial
enjoyment, promenading along
the creek full of real water, and
watching the numerous flock of
Mr.. Z. S ducks, or taking a look
at the irriga ton works for which
the place is noted. Others found
hilarious pleasure at the old
fashioned game of horse shoes,
while off and on Billy Goat"
was called upon to give original
and strictly comic butting and
hucking exhibitions.
Towards evening the ladies
served a bounteouS repast, and
when approaching night warned
the participants homeWard, all
took with them the remembrance
OF an afternoon well spent.

In the death of Scotty Phillips
man has been removed from
spheres of usefulness, whom
humanity will yet honor in cher
lshlng memory. We have never
met or seen the man, yet are
pleased to lay this simple offering
upon his grave. as that of man
worthy of highest respect. Per-
haps Scotty Philips was very
ordinary man, perhaps he had
weak traits, just like the rest of
h u m an i ty-but he has dis
tlnguished his life by doing in
time that which the millions of
his fellow citizens failed to do.
Scotty Philips saved the last
remnant of the buffalo, at
time, when our sluggish govern
ment and our rapacious million
aires ignored their duty. Scotty
Philips loved animals and thus
we may safely say that he loved
his fellow men. In driving to-
gether a few of the last remain
ing specimen S of A merle
noblest animal creation, he saved
America the ignominious distinc-
tion of having allowed the
Wanton murder of the western
country's characteristic game
animal, until the last of its race
was slaughtered Scotty Philips
did not undertake this task, be-
cause he was rich several hundred
milllonaires might have joined
ha' ds and made the task easy;
but they failed to do it, while
Scotty accomplished this noble
work. The future of the buffalo
is still problematic; perhaps the
animal is doomed in spite of
Scotty Philips effort. But should
this fine specimen of the animal
kingdom be saved for the future
then let South Dakota build
noble monument to his memory.
and put on it these words: He
loved Gods prosecuted creatures
and saved his country from dis
grace. - i

A Lucky Number.

One day there was an amusing incl
dent in the gambling rooms at Monte
Carlo. An Englishman arrived early
and, sitting down, crossed his legs and
stuck one foot out in an attitude OF
ease. Suddenly there was a wild rush
OF everybody to the tables, and Italian
barons. Spanish countesses and Rus
sian princesses fought with each other
to get their gold and silver pieces on
to H. Tie croupiers stared, the in
spectors looked nervous, and when II
came up the entire staff seemed petri-
fed. What had happened? Had the
wheel been got att Had some clever
trick been played? Why had every
body rushed to back II?
The croupiers looked about and saw
every eye directed at the Englishman,
who, finding himself the object Of so
much attention, blushed violently and
burst into profuse perspiration.
Then roar of laughter went round
the room, and the croupiers and the
inspectors and even the solemn attend
ants in livery joined in it,
The mystery was explained On the
sole OF the Englishman's boot was

FRANK E. HOWE, Editor and pub'r.

If the students engaged in the re-
cent outbreak in Burlington, and
every other student of every other
college in Vermont for that matter,
will read the comments of the press
on this dlsgraceful affair he will find
the language plain enough to convey
the idea most Enthusiastically that pub
lie sentiment will not stand for any
thing tending towards rioting from
any quarter. The people generally
are glad to see spirit among stud
ents and ''rousing" celebration of
athletic victories is enjoyed by every
one not too old 10 remember that
there were youthful days away back"
The line Is drawn, however, when
such demonstrations get down to the
Intentional discomforting of public
officials or private citizens, the ignor-
ing Of law and the actual destruction
Of property. The public has right
not only to expect but to insist upon
law abiding gentlemen without excep-
ton among the students of the higher
educational institutions.-No
News.
With all the opportunities afforded
the students in the educational institu-
tons of Vermont, or any other state
for that matter, there is no logical
reason why the boys should lose
sight of the fact that other people
have certain rights that cannot be in
fringed upon This disposition on the
part of students to disregard the privi-
leges of others always reacts in the
long run and frequently results in the
enacting of restrictions that would
otherwise never have come into exis-
tence. Years ago there was a wild
time on the streets of Burlington fol
lowing a baseball game with Dart
mouth and the presidents of the two
colleges decreed that the institutions
should not meet in athletics in the
future. This order remained in force
for a long time and it is not many
years ago that it was rescinded.

A very wealthy retired business man
has a big country place up In the New
Hampshire hills upon which he en-
joys spending large part Of his

Recently he decided to build stone
wall around his place. There was no
particular point to having the wall,
which was a fine affair of cut stone,
except the fun which it gave Mr..
Smith las we will call HIM to build it.
The contractor who built the wall was
an Irishman. One day when the wall
was nearly done Mr.. Smith and the
contractor were inspecting it.
