HANDSOME HOME Of
MRS. Y. NJ. BROWN
VICTIM Of FLAMES
FIRE ORIGINATED IN AN up
STAIRS ROOM CATCHING BE-
HIND MANTEL.
Metal Root Held the Fire in Check
But the Entire Overhead Was Burn
ed Before 1t Could Be Extinguish-
ed.

The handsome brick residence Of
Mrs. V. M, Brown, at the corner Of
School and Seventh streets was al
most destroyed by fire between and
o'clock this morning, and an meal
culable damage to the furniture and
other household goods by water and
their removal from the burning build
ing.
The fire was discovered in an up
stairs room in the rear where d fire
had been lighted in the CRATE, the
fire breaking out behind the mantel
and in the wood work leading tC the
ceiling above, and in a very few min
utes was burning overhead rapidly.
Before the hose could be gotten to
work the entire overhead portion of
the building was in flames, being held
in check only by the metal roof, all
the time working it's way to the front,
and eating away the rafters ana
joists.
When the hose was got to work it
soon extinguished the flames, but the
water soaked plastered walls are
practically ruined, the ceiling all drop
ping off.
The damages to the building and
the contents will amount to several
hundred dollars, fully protected by in
surance.
But for the almost heroic work Of
the many who gathered at the sound
have been a complete loss.

GREAT QUAIL FEAST
ENJOYED BY MEMBERS
OF CENTURY CLUB
ONE OF THE BEST ENTERTAIN
MENTS IN HISTORY OF
ORGANIZATION.


Several WouId-Be-Orators Make Vain
Efforts to Show That They Have
Power of the Gift of Gab."-The
Decorations.
One of the most enjoyable and high
ly successful social events in the en-
tire history of the Century Club was
the big bird and oyster supper at the
clubs assembly room on Thursday
night. More than ninety members of
this popular organization were seat
ed at tables beautifully decorated and
arranged.
Not only was there plenty of the
substantials that cheer the inner
man, followed by cigars, but the re-
sponses to the toasts, a unique plan
being arranged, afforded one of the
richest feats Of wit that the members
ever had the good fortune to enjoy.
The tables had been beautifully ar
ranged by the wives of the officers OF
the club, and the place cards were
hand painted, the work also of the
good wives of the members. These
cards were appropriately designed,
containing sketches of game with
touches of the wood and fields.
When the members were all seat
ed DR.. A. G Dinwiddie returned
thanks for the repast. After the
feast cigars were passed and Plesi-
dent Chafin addressed the club,
thanking the entertainment commit
tee for it's labors and interest in the
affair. He also expressed high appre-
citation for the services redered by
the capable Nimrods of the club In
providing the necessary quail.
President Chaffin surprised the
members by announcing that there
would be no POSTMASTER out tnere
would be a chain of toasts, the speak
ers being allowed to nominate the
next speaker This plan was followed
and some twenty-five or thirty mem

CAUSE OF NERVOUS HEADACHE
overwork, Worry, Eye Strain and Other Things That Bring on This
 Very Distressing Ailment.

Nervous headaches occur in hysteri- cal or neurasthenic individuals and those suffering from .overwork or wor- ry. In this class might also be men, toned headaches due to eye strain.
 The error of vision may be so slight that the patient is not conscious of any impairment of her sight, but the constant effort to counteract it is sap ping her nervous energy. When ire quent headaches occur it is important to have the vision carefully tested by competent eye specialist. No fur ther search for cause may be neces- sary.
 Disease of the ear, a deyiated sep tum in the nose, adenoids, enlarged tonsils or other abnormalities of the nose and throat are often responsible for persistent headaches that resist treatment. In all cases these possible conditions must be considered and one by one eliminated. Persistent headaches require careful study by 9 careful, competent physician and painstaking observance of the ad. vice and directions he gives.-Wom- ans Home Companion.

 Bible RAn6.nn

In an optimistic sermon of a week 1go Sunday 1t was stated that along with the dread of diphtheria and the bubonic plague and having your chil- dren sold into slavery there had dis appeared out of the world the fear of
 eing caught reading the Bible. i was especially struck by that state ment, because the time lies within my own memory when the fear of being caught reading the Bible had not dis. appeared out of the world. Perhaps it lies within the memory of any man or boy who has had the fortune of 2 Sious rearing. I should speak with hesitation for the girls. but saw with confidence that it is habitual for healthy boys of a certain age to be ashamed of being good. And much as enjoy rising to an optimistic sermon l cannot help doubting whether the
 ear of being caught reading the Bi 1le has actually disappeared out Of
 he world.-From the Atlantic.
