NoRTHFIELD'S DISASTER.

To-day's heavy loss by fire will com,
upon the people of Mortified as a great
shock, particularly because it was accom-
panied by loss of life in the death of an
elderly woman who was guest in the
hotel, which building formed the chief
fuel for the flames. That death makes
the disaster especially regrettable, The
monetary loss can be made up for in
due season. serious as the situation may
seem at the present time; and it is to be
expected that the buildings, which were
either destroyed or damaged badly, will
be restored Surely Mortified cannot
get along without its hotel and if there
is no private capital ready to make the
venture in a thriving town like that,
then the public-s spirited people of the
community will not permit the present
unfortunate conditions to remain. North
field will have a new and fine hotel, it
seems certain And the other buildings
will be restored 1t may be a time OF
gloom for Mortified people but the out
look will clear itself.

THE CONCERTED ATTACK ON
RUMANIA.

The little country of Rumania is in a
bad way just at the present time with
foes pressing on her from two points
almost opposite to each other and with
the purpose of those foes apparently di-
rected toward bottling up the latest par
ticipant in the great struggle. The com
bined German and Bulgarian army which
has been creeping through Dohrudja and
which on Monday succeeded in capturing
Constanza on the Black sea has almost
completed the circle that viii throttle
Rumania, together with the capital.
Bucharest, if the Austro German armies
to the northward are able TO complete
their part Of the chain. The capture Of
Constanza Is a serious blow because it Is
the coast terminus OF the only railroad
line to the Danube river. and the loss Of
that port means the shutting oil Of the
Rumanians from an important means OF
communication. The German plan Of
campaign is being carried ont with an

against such a disposition of the Balkan

lies in determined opposition to Slavic

The mail is full of letters,
And the soup is full of peas,
There's sugar in the coffee,
And the yard is full of trees;
The fields are full of stubble,
And there's grass upon the ground
But the world is full of trouble
If we only look around.
The corn is full of kernels,
There are lilies in the brooks:
The towns are full of people,
There are stories in the books;
The orchards full of apples
And the meadow full Of hay
But what troubles we discover
If we're only built that way.
The lilac's full of blossoms.
And the trees are full of leaves,
The meadow is full of clover,
And the fields are full of sheaves,
The bread is fun of -four,
And the rain is damp and vet
But how much there is to fret US,
If We really want to fret.
The bees are full of honey,
And the apples full of juice,
The banks are full of money,
But--be happy! What's the use?

There's water in the creek
But nothing really suits Us.

it may be expected that the bulk of the

front rather lightly defended.
