HAY Fire.

Last Saturday night the Fris-
co suffered a loss from fire when
three or four car loads of hay
burned down on Reunion switch.
An alarm was turned in, but
after a short run the fire boys
we're told it was only a pile oi
hay and they returned. Later
on another alarm was turned in,
but when it was found the fire
was out in a field, where they
could not get to it, they notified
the Frisco station, and when No.
8 came in the engine was seat
down to the switch and the bal
ance of the cars, about IS, were
uncoupled and saved. The hay
was ready for shipment, but the
fire sold it to the Frisco.

20 God, who knowest us to be
set in the midst of so many and
great dangers, that by reason OF
the frailty of our nature we can
not always stand upright; Grant
to us such strength and protec-
ton, as may support us in all
dangers, and carry US through
all temptations; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen"
The Epistle is from Romans
XIII Chapter, and begins:
Let every soul be subject un-
to the higher powers. For there
is no Power but of God: the pow
ers that be are ordained of God.
Whosoever therefore resisteth
the power, resisteth the ordin-
ance of God; and they that resist
shall receive to themselves dam
nation"
The Gospel is from st. Matt
hew, XIII.
And when he was entered in
to a ship, his disciples followed
him. And, behold, there arose a
great tempest in the sea, inso-
much that the ship was covered
with waves: but he was asleep.
And his disciples came to him.
and awoke him, saying, Lord,
save US: we perish. And he
saith unto them, Why are ye
fearful, o ye of little faith?
Then he arose, and rebuked the
winds and the sea; and there was
a great calm"

old Sol that he can't help smiling here

But hot as it was It wasn't so very

not as hot yesterday in Pensacola as
it was in Honduras, or Yuma, or
Montgomery, or several other heat

ticularly Yuma. Yuma is the hottest

humans, in fact, after folks have been

Furthermore, Gwendolen, It IS never
hot where there Is adequate provision
for keeping cool. And Pensacola has
this provision in great abundance. Ice
tinkling coolly in tall glasses. benches
under green trees, wide porches swept
by perenniel breezes from the bay and
gulf. Any man, woman or child who
wants TO Keep COOL III EenSdCOld can
do so by the simple expedient of
keeping in the shade. That Is not the
case everywhere. There are a lot of
towns where shade is not so delicious
as it is here, where to step out of the
sunshine into the shadow is scarcely
to ameliorate at all the feverish heat of
the atmosphere. There are few places
where shade is so delightful as 1t is
here, and SO abundant So stop growl-
ing about the heat. II really wasn't
so very hot, anyhow, and here in Pen
sacola a nickle invested in a limeade
in some shady spot is the price of

Getting down to dry and dusty
figures on the subject, the weather
man informed The Journal last night
that the maximum temperature for
the day was 80. Who cares for a little
thing like that? Yesterday was not
even the hottest day of this year, for
on June 10 the temperature was 81,

ranchers don't like to sell any Of their
supplies, and sometimes I had trouble
getting something to eat. At Green
River I had three cakes and a cup of
coffee, and I had to walk thirty miles
before I got another bite.
Sometimes 1 had trouble finding a
PLACE to sleep. I have slept in herd

cars and hay racks. Sometimes I got
into real bed at some ranch house

13s miles west of Rawiins we saw only
two ranch houses.
IT was forced to sleep in the loft
Of a livery barn at Spring Valley.
One woman had a bed, but no bed
ding, and every other bed in the
town was occupied. So we borrowed
some horse blankets and went to the
hay loft. After walking forty one
miles, however, we slept like a log.
"Often, in the heat Of the day, we
crawled under railroad culverts to
rest in the shade, but very often we
had to fight a bunch Of rattlesnakes
for its possession. I've got pocket
fuls Of rattIes. We saw some awful
big buIlsnakes, too. One big fellow.
over in western Nebraska, laid with
his head on one side of the road and
his tail in the grass on the other
side. He must have been eight or
ten feet long. We didn't bother him,
but let him crawl leisureIy away.
He looked too big for US to tackle"
Miss Antilles walked across the Ne
braska plains climbed to the roof
Of the continent, and has now des-
cended into the Great Salt Lake VAL
ley. She climbed two mountain
ranges. Sc has also crossed the ia
nous Red Desert in central Wyoming.
Before her now looms the great Ne
yada DeSert-nothing but sand for
hundreds of miles. And after the
sandy desert comes the Sierras.
IF you have lost your appetite. are
too fat, or are suffering from insom-

It's the best thing in the world for
any complaint you may have Just

win have walked nearly 1000 miles.
