Took Him Literally.

A clergyman in remote part OF
the Scottish Highlands was speaking
at length to his congregation OF the
many things round US that are shroud
ed In mystery and Of which we know
little. As he warmed to this theme, he
became eloquent, and frequently re.
peated the oft-quoted saying O
Goethe: More light! Oh, for light
His surprise may be imagined says
the Scottish American, when, after one
of these utterances, the old beadle'
who had been doing since the com
mencement of the sermon. woke with
start, then got up, tiptoed softly into
the vestry, seized two additional can
dies and, ascending the pulpit stairs
placed them beside the two already
there, and in q loud whisper, heard
all over the church, exclaimed:
Eye maun do wi these, for there

called out the fire department yester-
day afternoon at o'clock to 514
South Boston, where the garage in tho
rear of the DR.. G. Day home was
burning.
The garage, at the time, was being
occupied by property belonging TO
Walter Mount Of the Mount Cooper
Boiler works Of this city. At the time
of the blaze, however, the car usually
kept In the garage by Mr.. Mount was
on the street. and the damage done
was that to the building and accessa-
ries within II.
Firemen however, were forced to
cXtinguish blazes on shingle roofs at
504 and bl0 South Boston, and on the
home OF A. j. Birden, not twenty feet
from the garage. Constant play OF
water on the rear Of the ketchum
hotel building kept the awnings and
woodwork of this building from be-
coming ignited. The loss is estimated
at $500.
