School Children Discover Roof

School children playing on the way
to school shortly after O'Clock ti<s
afternoon, by noticing the shingles
on the roof of the residence of W. S.
McCombs, S42 Nineteenth street, prob
ably saved the owner of the building
a big loss.
The children were romping and
playing as they went along to their
lessons, and when they reached a spot
in front Of the McCombs residence,
saw the fire The blaze was difficult
TO see by a pedestrian hurrying past.
The fire department was called and
with several buckets of water extin-
guished the fire. The loss is nominal.
A hole about three feet square was
burned in the roof, and the blaze is
thought TO have originated in sparks
from the chimney.
AS is usual in the fall the number OF
small fires is greater than at any other
time during the year. At 500 O'Clock
last evening the department was
called to the home of w. West, 3O0g

Following is the poem:
Greetings tonight, from mother to
daughterl
What a big child she has grown up to
be!
Doing things that her parent had
taught her.
Justihes naming her proud pedigree.
Rock Island lodge had Trio for mother
With such a start she was bound to
succeed
And Ills a fact that somehow or other
Both have found plenty upon which
to feed.
Forty-three years seems old for a
daughter,
Yet in this case no subtraction OF
mirth:
Rather a pride that time should have
caught her
Growing in years as she's growing in
girth.
Forty-three years-then fifty and seven
Quite awhile yet till the century
reached;
Still, on these years we'd lightly re
plevin,
Seeking those joys which our fore
fathers preached.
Forty and three, or three years and
forty.
Little II boots how the sum is secured
Greetings tonight and JOY to your
party!
Ne'er may your light from mankind
be obscured.
Trio is justified in her daughter.

piece loud applause There was
no other portion of the program of the

The anniversary celebration was a
Stag affair. The early portion of the
evening was given over to a musical
program and talks were made by w.
