Attacked In Front and Rear.

A youngster OF our acquaintance
vho has a faculty for getting into
scrapes recently expressed the wish
that he was a postage stamp. When
asked why. he answered: Because a
postage stamp can only be licked
once" Whereupon we pointed out that
the stamp received, besides the lick
ing, a severe punch in the face.

Worth While Quotation.

Anyone can carry his burden, how
ever heavy, till nightfall. Anyone can
do his work, however hard, for one
day. Anyone can live sweetly patient
ly, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes
down. And this is all that life ever
really means.'-Selected

POISONOUS SMOKE
SUFFOCATED SOME
Bodies of 21 >y.e Victims
Taker Parents
rs To-day

Peabody, Mass, Oct. 29.--In the cavity
within the blackened brick shell of what
| yesterday morning was st. Johns paro-
chial school, men searched too day for evil
dence of the cause of the fire, which cost
the lives of q girls yesterday Every
corner OF the ruins was also looked over
carefully that it might be definitely de-
termined whether all the bodies had been
recovered
Acting Chief George C. Neal of the
state police, who commenced an investi-
CATION almost before the flames had sub
sided, concluded his investigation to-day
and announced that no one was found
criminally responsible for the fire. He
said that while the building was badly
constructed it complied with the require
ments of the law.
In the opinion of the state authorities,
the fire started in a small closet in the
basement, which contained school sup
plies, a box of sweepings and the gas
meter. One of the many theories as to
the origin of the fire is that box which
might have contained few match heads
was dropped on the floor by boys.
The real fault in the building, Chief
Neal said to-day, was shat the stairs
led to the center of the building and not
toward the exits, and he added that the
walls were all sheathed and coated with
shellac, and the smoke from the burning
wood and oil was very poisonous. 1T is
our opinion that this poisonous smoke
was responsible for the loss of life. as
many children must have met death from
before their bodies were
burned"
The remains of the 2l dead were
placed in little white caskets to-day and
we're transferred from the undertaking
'ooms to the homes of their mourning
PARENTS.
The bodies were all claimed this morn
ng. -Four of the remaining five were
