Three Young Children Burned to Death
During Absence of Mother at Church
One Child Rescued from Flames by Neghbor Dies from Burns
Received falling Roof Prevents Further Aid

one OF the most terrible accidents in
the history of this tract, occurred Mon
day night at Buhl, when the home of
Mr and Mrs. Mckee was burned to the
ground and two children consumed in
the flames and the third child so bad
ly injured that death followed shortly
after. According to the report brought
to this city by Ed Braun of Buhl, the
accident occurred Monday evening
during the absence of both parents of
the children. Mr.. Mckee was out of
town and the mother after putting the
children in bed for the night, thinking
them perfectly safe, slipped away to
church

few moments later, discovered

MONEY IN APPLES.
Hagermnn Man Clears $4,000 on Four.
Acre Orchard.

w. H. Clifford has about finished
hauling away his apple crop, having
sold the last of it in Twin Falls. He
states that he has but four acres of
apples, and from this four acres be
gathered over 5000 boxes of apples
last season. The least he got for the
crop was $1.25 per box, the better
grades bringing better price than
that, so, taking it all round, the four
acres produced better than $4,000
worth of apples. So well does Mr..
Clifford think of the apple industry in
the valley that he planted II acres
more to fancy apples last season. With
such returns as this, what is fruit land
IN Hagerman valley worth ?-Hager-
man Valley Sun.

CHOOSING A HOBBY.
Make It Ono That viii Relieve the
Tension of Business.


Writing on the advantage and enjoy
ment that a busy man will derive from
a hobby, Arnold Bennett says in the
Metropolitan:
"In choosing a distraction-that is to
say, in choosing a rival to his business
he should select some pursuit whose
nature differs as much as possible
from the nature of his business, and
which will bring into activity another
side of his character III his business
is monotonous, demanding care and
solicitude rather than irregular. in
tense efforts of the brain, then let his
distraction be such as will make
powerful call upon his brain. But II
on the other hand the course of his
business runs in crises that string up
the brain to its tightest strain, then let
his distraction be a foolish and merry
one.

that the cottage was drawing steadily

At that moment the girl appeared at

Emery assisted Faustina Standish to
land, and when he had made both
house and motorboat secure beyond
any eneroaehing wave he sat down be-
side her on the sand and explained
how he had happened to invade the
shore of her little bay. OF course the
service he bad rendered her and the
spirit of the adventure In which they
had both taken a part rapidly pro-
NOTED friendship that was not bro

a most excellent reason.
