woods crying

"Oh. thank you so much, Jimmie, for
saving me from him. said Uncle Wig
gily, when he could get his breath.
Pray DO not mention such a little
matter as that" spoke Jimmie politely.
1T was real pleasure for me to pick
that tail-pulling chimp"
Well, after thar, for several days,
the cnimpanzee monkey tried to catch
Uncle Wlggily all alone. so he could
pun his tail Bot the rabbit gentleman
was either too quick or hoped away IN
time. OF else Jimmie Caw-Caw, the
crow boy. was on hand 10 tickle the

the diamond sparkling in the sun
"Oh. let me goi" Uncle Wiggily cried
trying to get away. But he could not
get loose from the tiger Until Of a
sudden Jimmie Caw-Caw, the crow boy
who was flying around in the air, saw
the diamond sparkling on the tigers

But Of course even a funny tiger can
never catch crow, and Jimmie was

Warehouse Fire
Farm equipment, household goods
and many pieces of machinery were
destroyed in the fire which broke out
in the warehouse of Montgomery and
Company, yesterday afternoon.
The building was of wood and filed
with much iHfiammable material. Be-
fore the gre was discovered it had
gained great headway and the sight
OF flames shooting high into the air
from the central portion of the city.
attracted thousands of sight-seers.
Less than q half hour after the fire
broke, the northeastern end of the big
building bucleled and fell, narrowly
missing dozen firemen. who saved
their lives by jumping clear of the
debris. Because of the close proximity
Cf other wooden buildings, firemen
took dangerous chance to subdue the
flames. Many were overcome by
smoke but were quickly revived.
Every company in the city fought the
blaze.
The warehouse was about 800 by so
feet. Thirty-four families and nearly
as many firms had goods stored. The
hre started in the southeast portion of
the building which was 81" shaped,
where the International Harvester
Company had farm implements, gaso-
line tractors and two threshing ma
chimes tsored. All mere damaged be-
|yond repair. The loss on these ex-
ceeded $4,000. f. E. Myers and
Brother, of Ashland. Ohio, were the
heaviest losers. They had the entire
first floor of the main building filed
with pumps and machinery. Their
loss is estimated at $35,0
Paper belonging to the State; print
ing paper owned by the Minter Com
pany; tents and camping equipment of
the State Y M. G. A; coffee, groceries
and other edibles, were totally de-
|stroyed. Three car loads of furniture
were lost by Bowman and Company.
Freight of the Philadelphia and Read
ing was also destroyed.
ThS stables of Mrs. Robert Graup-
uer are located next to the property.
When the fire broke out fifteen
horses and three automobiles were
taken out.
The fire on First mountain was ex-
tinguished this morning by fifty rail-
readers, whom the Pennsylvania
placed at work last night The fire,
IL is believed was caused by a spark
from an engine.
