 Boasted Too Soon
 The 'Bunch,'' by which is meant the crowd of self-styled hunters who roam about the woods in the Town of Sprague hunting down defenceless animals for the sole purpose of prov ing their prowess, is chuckling over the incident connected with the hunt ing trip of an amateur sportsman who ventured out into the wilds one day last week. This hunter had boasted of his skill in bringing to earth all Ii,e savage beasts which happened un- luckily to stray across his path, and he declared before starting this time that he would come home with suf1- cient game to grace the festive table of king. He started out and bumped into trouble the first thing, because he went on forbidden territory; leaving that place. however, faster than he entered. Then, when he did have the luck to spy a rabbit, and lifted his sure-death gun to his shoulder, pre- paratory to extinguishing that rab- bits life in a hurry, he discovered that he would have to defer the execution stunt a little while. He had forgotten to bring any shells with him. He doesn't say much now!

and run the apparatus out of the fire house in much less then ten minutes ! This the driven did. In the meantime l however. those at the fire became inn l patient, and the second alarm was sent l in, ca1lins out the rest of the depart meut. A well-known town of.Ieial sized ur | the situation in this style: Now, that
 should modernize in their operation. The present plan of paying the driver | S5 8 run, does not improve the fire protection and give the public any as- surance Of safety. No fault can req sonahly be found with the drivers, for the conditions, but that does not carry with it fire protection to the people. Until such time that drivers are in the fire house at all times, the department with motor-driven fire apparatus will not prove much improvement over the horse drawn service, as it is simply a case Of delay by man. Or beast. be- iieve a good, competent man could be hired for say seG a month to care for machines and be in readiness to re- spond with one machine at short mo- tiee. That another competent chaffeur. who is employed otherwise, could se hired for s20 a month to room in the fire house and be ever ready to run a ! machine to fire in quick order at night. These two men could so ar range IHdtteIS tIttL one ol tneiii Wouiu be at the fire house every minute of the day and night. This would entail an expense of say $50 a month, or even $5oo0 a year, but would insure the efleiency of the fire department many fold.

 Mir. Chase lived in the building and
 during the summer season kept a
 candy. fruit and notion store there. He came to Westerly. Tuesday evening
 and when he returned his former home
 was a mass of ruins. All of his world iy belongings, except which he had with him, were de1trcyed. The cause
 of the fire is not known.

 more, who said he had tranped it from
 his home city to Westerly and was
 bound to DO place in particular, has

one she meant to beg that fairy to do
its little best to help Santa get his
Christmas toys.

drew the curtains aside.
Lulu was tired and she soon went to
sleep. Some time later she opened her
eyes. Glancing at the window. she
saw something white iuttering and
waving just outside the window.
Whatever can II ber' she wondered
and jumped out of bed and ran to the
window.
Dancing on the windowpane were
several little figures clad In glistening
white dresses. just like the snow that
lay on the ground. And 6uttering
! through the air Lulu saw many more
/ OF these little white creatures. which
she knew at once were snow fairies.
The fairies waved their hands. and
Lulu put up the window. Strange t.
say, It did not feel cold. and the little
/ fairies few in without seeming to b.
in the least afraid OF melting.
