A Clash ST Virtues
An Essanay drama.

What might have been a
very serious accident occurred
at the Guy Smith home Satur-
day morning, when the range
stove blew up On account OF
the frozen condition of the
water pipes leading to the VIZ
ter front of range. AS luck
would have it no one was in
front of the stove and the only
damage done was a broken
range, flooded kitchen and q
narrow escape from fire, as the
range was very hot.

A petition has been circulate
Ied asking the school board to
call a special election as soon as
possible to vote bonds to build
la new high school building.
The law requires that at least
one fourth of the last vote be
on the petition but this petition
has the names of many more
than the law requires. We
have reached the point where a
new high school building is not
luxury but a necessity. The
Bchool board will probably call
the election some time in

he turned to see Mr.. Durham, the

Dark blue sets off a blonde com

Blue is unbecoming to brunette

Green has the same effect as blue
upon brunettes, but makes the cheeks

Red heightens the effect of pale

Yellow is highly becoming to a pale

of flames.
Mrs. O'Leary was regular custom
er of Mr.. Smiths and it was she her.
self who told Mr.. Smith many times
afterwards how the conf1agration be-
gan.
| 1t appears that at that time there
were a good many fire bugs" in
Chicago who had either drifted in
there or who had been sent there
from st. Louis. On the very night be-
fore there had been a big fire in an
other part of the city. According to
Mrs. OLeary, she had been out as
usual to milk the COW, and as it was
fine moonlight night, she had no
lantern with her. AS she left the barn
she noticed that two hoboes or tramps
were leaning against the barn, smok-
ing 1t was her impression at the
time that they were more than half
drunk, and she hurried into the
| house.
Mrs. O'Leary was quite certain that
these men either inadvertently or in
tentionally dropped fire into the
straw and hay around the barn. Even
at that, the fire would not have amount
ed to anything if some person had
not maliciously cut the hose and thus
prevented the putting of water on the
fire until there was response to a
second and general alarm. Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith both saw the hose at the
time. 1t looked as if some one had
hurriedly whipped out jack knife
and cut the rubber clean across.
Precious little talk of weddings and
ceremonies there was that evening in
the Johnson household, precious lit
tie counting in the parlor. All night
long in the rear of the premises the
Smith horse stood hitched to light
delivery wagon, and all the family
prepared for instant and unencumber-
ed flight should the wind turn the
fire their way.
Mrs. O'Leary when she saw that
her house was certain to go, paid
man $25 to carry her goods to a
vacant lot. They were promptly pick
ed I'D by another van and carried off,
and she never saw them or her $25
