BROWNING FANNIE.

~ ANNIE would have been pretty
- child but for the frown always
on her face, and this was caused
by a selfish disposition, discon-
tented no matter what was done for
her pleasure. The widowed mother
tried all in her power to make the child
happy, but like all selfish people, the
more that was done for her, the more
she expected.
Every day she would come home with
tales of what beautiful homes, lovely
dresses, and fine trips her playmates
had, while she wore only plain gowns
and remained in the city all summer.
1t never occurred to her to think of how
many were worse off than she in her
comfortable home with her kind
mother. ..t
One dav she told her mother there
was to be the following Saturday
class picnic, and that she needed a new
dress to wear. But the mother could
not afford to get one. So Fannie cried
and pouted and acted as ugly as she
could just TO worry her mother

sick" remarked the mother, land 1

So Fannie took up the bowl and

and dusty. SO after a while she sat down
under a tree to rest. BY peeping
through the tall, iron fencing she could
look into a park OF oak tree with wind

The Dodgeville fire department was
called out Sunday afternoon to extin-
guish fire in the veterinary Office of
DR. Charles Schmitt on North Main
street.
When the fire fighters arrived, the
interior Of the building, which is a
small structure, was a mass of flames
On account Of the water mains the de-
partment was without water and had
to resort to bucket brigade from els
terms and wells After hard fighting
for a few minutes che fire was under
control, but not rntil the interior had
been Quilted and the furniture and
drugs destroyed.
The loss was about $3.50 which waa
partially covered by insurance. Mr..
Schmitt's loss was not confined TO dol
lars and cents, as there was also de-
stroyed a fine collection Of eurios anc
other articles which cannot be bought.
The only solution Of the origin Of the
fire is that it resulted from the explo.
sion of chemicals.
During the progress Of the fire Dr.
schmitt received a large cut on the tor
of his head, supposed to have beer
caused by the falling Of one Of the
large drug bottles from the shelves.
