Avoid p~isputation.

The disputatious person never
makes a good friend. In friendship,
men look for peace and concord and
some measure of content. There are
enough battles to fight outside, enough
Earring and jostling in the street,
enough disputing in the market place,
enough discord in the workaday
world, without having to look for con-
tention In the realm of the inner life
also. There, If anywhere, we ask for
an end of strife. Friendship is the
sanctuary of the heart, and the peace
Of the sanctuary should brood over 1t.
Its chiefest glory is that the dust and
noise Of contest are excluded.-Hugh
Black.

A Human cruet-stand.

Several villagers were discussing a
departed sister who had been given to
good deeds, but was rather too fond
of dispensing sharp spoken advice.
"She vas an excellent woman" said
the deceased lady's pastor. "She was
constantly in the homes of the poor
and afflicted. In fact, she was the salt
Of the earth"
she was more than that" remarked
a villager. "She was the vinegar, the
pepper and the mustard as well. She
was a perfect cruet stand of virtues"

Talleyrand used to tell an extraordi

Louis XVIII. When he was minister
of foreign affairs a courier came to
him one evening bearing unpleasant
news, and he therefore postponed the
communication of it to the king till
next morning, when he explained that
he was afraid the tidings might have
disturbed his majesty's sleep. The
king replied: Nothing disturbs my
sleep. as you may see from this in
stance The most dreadful blow of
my life was my brothers death. The
courier who brought this dreadful
news arrived at 8 o'clock in the even

overcome, but at midnight l went to
bed and slept my usual eight hours"

LOSS OVER HALF MILLION
Building Destroyed Was Occupied by
the Chamber Of Commerce and Was
One Of the Finest Structures in the
City-Lives of Several Hundred Ban
quetters Endangered by Flames.

Cincinnati, Jan. 12-Six bodies are
believed to be buried in the ruins of
the seven-story granite building occu-
pied by the chamber of commerce,
which was destroyed by fire with a
loss which it is believed will be more
than 100000.
Sixteen fremen and spectators were
injured during the fire, which was
marked by two violent explosions, be-
lieved to have been from gas.
The windows in the lower part of
the Fourth street side of the new Sin
ton hotel and on the Baker alley side
of the famous old Burnett House were
shattered by the explosions and
guests at both hotels were panic
stricken.
The explosions followed the crash
of the roof of the great building,
carrying with it the two upper stories,
which were hung by Orders from the
roof supports. The missing are:
Charles S. Sibbold, secretary of the
Early & Daniels company, grain and
hay dealers; Brent Marshall, Coving-
ton, KY, vice president of the same
firm; Harry Leslie, negro porter; Les
lie Buchanan, aged seventeen, en-
ployed by the Union Grain and Hay
company; Fred Selm, night engineer;

Two Trapped in Basement.
The Buchanan boy was working in
the Office of the Union Hay and Grain
company and has not been seen since
the fire.
The engineer and fireman of the
building are believed to have been
trapped in the basement.
Fire Chief Archibald declared that it
would be several days before the ruins
would be cool enough to begin a
search for the bodies.
The fire originated in a storeroom
over the kitchen of the Business
Mems club on the sixth floor. This
organization occupied the two upper
floors
With two banquets in progress in
the Business Mems club when the fire
started there were about 200 persons
endangered. A suburban business or
ganization was holding banquet,
while members of the Accident Insur-
ance Underwriters association were
holding dinner. The banquetters re-
fused to leave the tables until flames
burst through the ceiling and the roof
began to crack over their heads.
All the banquet guests escaped I'M
