JOE ALLYN'S PREDIcAMENT
Locked Himself Out, Naked, to Look
 at the Pease Fire.

The redoubtable Joe Allyn had a narrow escape from freezing to death last Thursday morning, just after the fire was discovered in the Pease house in his neighborhood.
 When the persistent fire alarm siren finally awakened Joe, and he saw the reflected light dancing on the walls of his bed room, he sprang out of bed, and without stopping to put on a stitch of clothing, ran out of his back door, onto the rear porch, to locate the fire ex. actly.
 In his excitement he slammed the door behind him. Having taken a quick glance at the fire, which was only few rods away, he turned to enter the house to clothe himself and go to the scene of the conflaRration; but on turning the knob he found to his horror that the door was locked and he was imprisoned on the outside, in the cold night air, with nothing on.
 The door was equipped with a spring lock, and in his minimizing haste Joe had neglected to catch up the bolt, and thus locked himself out of his own house, clothed only in his innocence, which was slim protection from the biting north wind.
 With his teeth chattering, and pose. pimples standing out all over him, he pounded on the door and shouted to his wife, who, fortunately was wide awake by that time, and who hastened to unlock the door and extricate her shivering spouse from his predicament. A few minutes later Joe was at the fire, working like a beaver to keep the flames confined to the doomed build ing

 About sixty persons were employed The mill has been very busy for soms time.

Send Slogans Intelllgently.

Secretary Creevey states that some contestants in the Canaan slogan com petition disregard the rule given in the "call'-that each slogan must be sent in a separate sealed envelope, inside the addressed envelope. The slogan envelope is kept sealed until the judges open them at the close of the contest The name and address of the sender must be on separate sheet, and not enclosed in the envelope with the slo- gan. One party sent in fourteen sug- gestions, but neglected to send his or her name; hence if the winning slogan happens to be among them the judges will be unable to name the winner, un- less the address is supplied by the author.

FIRE IN PEASEVILLE
Tenement Q coupled by Grover Weaver.
 and Contents; Destroyed.

The tenement owned by E. s. Pease, at Peaseville. and occupied by Grover Weaver, was totally destroyed by a fire of unknown origin, early Thursday morning The engineer of the south bound freight gave the first alarm, by blowing his whistle at a few minutes before 3 o'clock, when he discovered flames issuing from the building Within few minutes thefre alarm siren was screaming and the Methodist church bell changing, and i'll an ln- credibly short time both hose carts of the Canaan Hose Company were at the scene and had stream of water squirt ing on the doomed building from the hydrant near the lumber yard, about LOGO feet distant, and 24 out of the 80 members of the company were on duty.
 The fire had gotten such a start, however, before being discovered that it was impossible to save either the bulloin or its contents, and the de- structiou was total. A heavy wind sprang up while the fire was in prog ress, and sparks and burning embers were carried considerable distances, many Dlazlug SpaTkS DeluB senb as laI as Granite avenue, and the efforts of the firemen were limited to the saving of adjoining property.
 A big piece of burning shingle landed on the roof of Joseph Allyn's porch, where if melted a big patch through the snow and confined to burn until MT. Allyn mounted ladder and ex- tinguished it.
 The house was unoccupied at the time. MT. Weaver having been ebsent at his work out of town for several days, and Mrs. Weaver with her child having gone to her parents in Sheffield on the previous afternoon.
 The building was insured for about $700. MT. Pease has at present no plans for rebuilding, but may replace the house later.

A Son to Fred Morin.

The benefcent stork has discovered, sure enough, that there are other sec tions of this good old village, besides West Main street. For long time the we'll ll.meaning bird seemed to be able to find no other quarters to visit, where he was reasonably sure to fiEd a vel come, than West Main street; and every once in so often-and sometimes oftener-he would come volplaning out of clear sky, and steering straight for West Main street, leave his little basket on a doorstep, with its precious contents, and taking the number of the next house, for future reference, away he would go again, up into the sky and out of sight, to ''come again some other day" with another little passenger. There WAS hardly house ou that thoroughfare that was slighted by the wise and watchful and reasona- bly impartial bird.
 But he has evidently withdrawn his attention from West Main street, at least for the time being, and is ac. quaiEting himself with the neighbor- ing region traversed by Orchard Avenue, which he finds attractive. His first recent visit to that neighborhood was made to the home of Fred Morin, the tonsorial expert and major domo of the Cornpop and Sasf'rilly Club, last Fri day morning, when he left basketful of bouncing boy that looks just like his happy dad. It is gratifying to be as. sured that the boy, it's mother and father and the stork are doing we'll
