The Advantages of Being Poor.

In the June Woman's Home Com
panior Temple Bailey writes a woman
suffrage story entitled can Army
With Banners" in which one of her
char lcters speaks as follows:
az suppose it's because Jimsie and
/ have been poor together that we
feel as we do. A poor man and his
wife are-partners. They have 20
fight together. We were shoulder to
shoulder on the plains. had to be
a helpmate, not clinging vine. The
pioneer men don't always have men
to tall things over with, and so they
talk them over with their women
and they learn that women have brains
and opinions that are worth listen
ing to. If Jimsie had been rich |
shou { have been-his plaything; out

FIRE IN HINSDALE
BURNS TWO BARNS
Damage of About $4,000 on G. NJ.
Wright 5 Place Last Night
Origin of Fire Is Mystery.

HINSDALE. \. H., March n
HinsdaIe haii another big fire in the
rural district last night, when two al
g. NJ Wright's : barns were burned to
the ground The fire was discovered
hv ThaddeuS Lvpciusky. who was pass
ing about 10 clock. in the west end
Of the small stock barn. a welI-built
structure so feet by ~ feet. and in an
incredibly brief time the tobacco
barn. ll2 feet by = feet, situated close
hy. was also in iiames. Both barns
were >moldering misses of ruins in less
than an hour after the alarm was
sounded MIR. Wright and his family
had retired for the night and probably
would not have seen the flames in time
To prevent their spreading to the main
barn.
TIE fire department was quickly on
the scene and the first arrivals did val
liant service as bucket brigade IN
keeping the large stock barn from TAX
ing fire.
The hand engine was used To good
advantage although the lack Of sutf-
cient amount of water to keep the en-
gine running continually might have
been serious matter, but in this event
connections could have been made no
doubt with the water system IN the VII
lage
Fortunately. Mr.. Wright sold his to-
bacco some time ago aud there was no
stock in the barn that was burned. but
new hay tedder. 20 cords Of stove
wood, about two tons Of oat straw and
about 800 tobacco poles We're lost
Many farming implements and wagons
were stored i'm the tobacco barn, but all
were saved.
The origin of the fire is a mystery
no one to Mr. Wright 5 knowledge hay
/ ing been in the barn since morning.
The total loss is estimated at about
/ 50, 800, with insurance Of less than halt
this sum.
Mr.. Wright expects to replace tht
tobacco barn, but probably will not re
build the stock barn, this summer a
least.

like that of postmaster, which is con-
sidered strictly a political appointment,
