THE COUNTRY
EDITORS DREAM

A country scribe lay dreaming
one balmy night in May and as he
dreamed an ofiice.sceker m a tear.
ful prayerful way approached him
and quite humbly asked permission
just TO talk to the ink.stand.
chcsty mogul If the whole dcl-
blasted walk. Said the Office
seeker sweetly. wilt thou kindly
hearken to the tender. fine petition
that I'm bout to offer you?" Then
the mogul waved his scepter and
pushed his briskct cut: go
ahead. oh. basest menial. with your
lanchrymal, old spout"
The oftice-seeEcr knelt there on
the cold and stony floor. and to the
pencil pusher did he pass this
ancient lore: you're the lulu
of all lulus, you're the rule Of the
earth, the proprietor of destiny,
the guardian Of mirth; you'cr all
that's good and sanity, you're all
that's fine and true, and my little
heart is Dustin full Of tender love
for YOU. One little boon | ask for,
oh, mighty, mighty king: Wilt
thou join in the chorus when ! for
office sing?"
Replied the king some rudcly,
yet with regal grace: We like
your nerve and likewise the output
of your face. Perchance, oh. knight
of Glll"ill. thou deems its sailing
fair. TO conduct a family paper on
just zephcrs and hot air, Hence. .
drag your jeans and swift-likc be
your movements and your pace.
and perhaps we'!l take = notion TO
consider some your case.
The office-sccker bowed his head F..
and sadly waggcd his ears. and
from his eyes there flowed quite
free the salty. binding tears.
"You wait money" sobhud he
loudly; you actually need dough.
] woulu have scarce believed il had .
you not informed me so! !.
thought !eur space was worthless, .
your advertising free but vet I'll .
have to humor you-huh, money, f.
let ne see""
Then tne oiiice.secker searched .
his clothes and turned them
w,onRsidc out, and acted like a .
crazy man and twisted around .
about. But lot a cent could he
locate, nor bring out into view
then finally admitted he was broke
right square in two. At which
the king of moEuls laughed a
cruel and hcarllcss laugh. and into
MIR. o. S. plunged this keen and
shining gatf:
Election passed you'd know me
not, thus in you let this soak
Right from the time you entered,
| knew that you were broke. For
its rule that they who seek the
juicy office plum are generally
financially somewhat upon the
bum" And then the king OF
moguls called'a slave to tend his
gout, and husky printcrs's devil
to throw the oflicc.scckcr out

ton is a menace to that part Of
town and should be removed at
once. The legislature Of 1905
passed an act prohibiting the
storage of explosives in any
unincorporated town of the state.
On a petition of 10 per cent of
the taxpayers Of the town the
commissioners are required to
order the removal of explosives
beyond a fixed quantity. The
people in that section should get
busy.
The origin of the fire is not
known. Some say it started in
the addition to the liverly stable
recently built by Mr.. Thompson.
and others say ii started in a shed
in the rear Of the old office of the
Lumber company. occupied by the
Water company's team.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson left
yesterday morning for Starr
valley to visit their daughter,
Mrs. Smiley, and returned last
night. He informed the writer
this morning that from the in.
vestigation he had made he was of
the opinion that the fire started in
he shed occupied by the Water
Company's team and that it was
caused by cigar or cigarette
stump.
All of the horses and most of
the buggies and harness were
taken out of the burning buildings.
Some hay, little rain, one calf a
few sets of harness and two or
three buggies were burned. The
calf could have been easily saved
had anyone about the the fire
known it was in the building.
The old Lumber office was oc-
cupied by Contractor Nelson as a
carpenter shop. There was con-
siderable hardwood lumber, tools.
mouldigs, ETC., in the shop. All the
hardwood and most of the mould
ings and some Of the tools were
burned.
The Lumber Company's branch
yard and coal house were also
destroyed.
Mr.. Thompson estimates his
loss a about $4,000; Mr.. Mcbride
places the loss of the Lumber
company at 81, 500: and Mrs. Mel
sons loss is estimated at $3.50,
making a total Of $465O. Neither
Of the parties were insured.
There were three quite serious
accidents connected with the fire.
John McFarlane in going to the
hre on his bicycle ran into an
electric light pole and was thrown
from his wheel. badly spreining
one of his legs. Charley Roberts
was in Mr.. Stinson's beer wagon
pulling one of the hose carts
when some one bumbed againt him
and knocked one of his legs into
the fast revolving wheel lof the
wagon. The knee was dislocated
and his leg was badly sprained.
He walks on four legs now. Jack
Plummer had one of his hands
badly burned. He was pulling
out buggy when part of the
roof fell on him. All the injured
are doing nicely.
