Fire in the Ashes.

On Tuesday of last week, when
Mrs. Elmer B. Covalt of Thomp.
son township carried the ashes
out, from the stove, she emptled
them into a barrel near the hog
pen-or hogpens, for there are
three pens built adjoining each
other. Ashes is harmless stuff
when there is no fire lurking in
it, but 1t Is tricky sometimes.
Next morning about three or
four o'clock Mrs. Covalt awaken
ed, and light so bright greeted
her eyes that she screamed,
"The house Is ahre." 1t Is
scarcely worth while to go to the
trouble telling you that the family
got up; but they did. Mrs. Covalt
was mistaken about the house be.
ing afre, but the hog pens were;
and before it was gotten under
control, Two of the pens were
destroyed. Fortunately the hogs
had a way to get out, or they
might have had a surplus of roast
pork.

The Royal Arcanum.

1t may not be generally known
that the Royal Arcanum, one Of
the very best and safest fratern,
al life insurance organizations IN
the world has now a membership
of almost 100000, and that almost
1873 millions of dollars have been
paid to widows and orphans dur.
ing the little more than thirty
years of it's existence.
Every man should carry some
life insurance. Death is certain
and it is only the part of common
prudence to make provision for
the support of those dependent
while life lasts.
The Royal Arcanum Is as sound
as the Bank of England, and the
fact that you make your pay
ments monthly, makes 1t so easy
to carry a thousand dollars, that
the money paid is never missed
For instance: If you are q
years of age you can carry 81 900
for 81 cents a mOnth-neyer anv
more; If 30, it costs you Sl.10,
and If 40 years of age, Sl.6l and
so on. Two thousand just twice
that much. To the above rate
you add one dollar to be paid
every three months. This last
Item is for rent and incidental
expenses of local conncil.
Is there any danger of the
"bottom falling outY" Well,
hardly. The organization has
over seven millions of dollars
on hand to meet any emergencies
that might arise from some un-
looked for disaster.
This is not a paid advertise.
ment, but Is written by the Edi-
tor, who for more than twenty.
one years has carried three
thousand dollars protection IN
the Arcauum, aud who believes
it to be his duty to encourage
others to lay by in this way
something for their families when
the bread winner shall be taken
away. There is a local council of
the Royal Arcanum in almost
every town, and a little inquiry
will put you IN touch with some
one that will tell you how to get
it, Among the members In Nc

but In deficient amount. In some the

In some cases substitutions were sold.
It would appear that the pure food

a condition as this except rigid inspec-

these mistakes, whether made by neg

danger human life; they take advan-

and Of the lack of means to conduct
chemical tests. Even II every family
had the apparatus and the necessary
technical knowledge to carry on such
experiments 1t would be impractical
to do so for obvious reasons. For one
