EMANCIPATION

Why be afraid of Death as though
your life were breath
Death but anoints your eyes with clay.
0 glad surprise
Why should you be forlorn? Death
only husks the corn.
Why should you fear to meet the
thresher of the wheat?
Is sleep thing Of dread? Yet sleep
ing, you are dead
Till you awake and rise, here, or be-
yond the skies
Why should it be a wrench to leave
your wooden bench,
Why not with happy shout run home
when school is out?
The dear ones left behindl o foolish
one and blind,
A day--and you will meet a night
and you will greet!
This is death Of Death, TO breathe
away a breath
And know the end of strife, and taste
the deathess life,
And joy without a fear, and smile
without a tear,
And work, not care, nor rest, and find
the last the best.

FIRE AT WATERBURY
 CAUSES $55,OOO LOSS
Two Bremen Overcome By Cold and Third Run Over
 By Hook and Ladder

Waterbury, Dec. 15.-In one of the worst fires Waterbury has seen in sev- eral years, three handsome frame two- family dwellings were burned to the ground early this morning in the lead ing residential section of Waterbury, the northwestern district. In addi- tion to the total destruction of the three houses, three others were also badly damaged. ..%
 The houses destroyed were the prop erty of Carleton S. Redmond, a real estate promoter; Miss Adelaide Frost and Lester M. Camp. and were all located on the south side of Bucking- ham street. The residence of D. L. Summey on the same side of the street and the residence of Selwyn A. Ketcham on the north side were gutted.
 The fire started in the Redmond house, evidently near the furnace, and in short time the entire house was enveloped in flames. Immediately the sparks flew to the houses adjoining, and in a short time three buildings were blazing. The occupants had to run to save themselves, and had little chance of saving any of their belong ings The fire department was called but owing to the heavy drifts and the hi1ly section where the blaze was To- cated, considerable trouble was had in reaching the flames.
 The fire department did not leave until noon today. Two firemen were overcome by the cold and another is in St. Mary's hospital, as a result of in juries received when hook and lad der truck ran over him. The loss is conservatively estimated at $55,OO0, and all of the property owners are pro- tected by insurance.
 A half dozen handsome residences adjoining the burning buildings were saved. A servant girl was rescued from the roof of one of the buildings just as she was about to jump to the ground.
