Shun everything that wears frown
And live a life of smiles
Be happy as a child again.
As free from thoughts of care
Would you appear to other men
More noble or more fair?
All, no! man should do his part
And carry all his load,
Rejoice to share with every heart
The roughness of the road.
Not given to thinking overmuch
OF pains and griefs behind.
But glad to be in fullest touch
With all his human kind.

BIG FIRE AT
HALE'S BAR
Commissary Building and
Contents Totally Destroyed.
Stock Carried by Contractors
Said to Be Worth $35, 900.

The lock and dam at Hales Bar.
known as Guild, was visited by FIRE
Tuesday night about eight o'clock
The alarm was heard at this point,
the whistles being blown in lively
manner. The blaze started in the COM
missary building, which was destroyed
together with the stock, and the loss
was estimated at about $50, 900. Tele-
phone connection was broken off as
soon as fire started and hence details
were meagre. The postoffice was also
destroyed. No lives were lost in the
fire. There are other places where
goods can be purchased besides the
Company's colnmissary, and the work
will not be interrupted for lack of the
supplies necessary to live on. The
contractors lost large amount of sup
plies. This makes the third big fire
which has taken place at the lock ana
dam this year.

Evil Speaking.

Keep clear of personalities in con-
versation Talk of things, objects,
thoughts. The smallest minds occupy
themselves with persons. Do not need
lessly report ill of others. AS far as
possible dwell on the good side of hu-
man beings. There are family boards
where constant process of deprecia-
ting, assigning motives and cutting up
character goes forward. They are not
pleasant places. One who is healthy
does not wish to dine at dissecting
table. There is evil enough in man,
God knows. But it is not the mission
of every young man and woman to
detail and report it all. Keep the at
mosphere as pure as possible, and
fraught with gentleness and charity. =

loose enough to speak to working
