that help was wanted. At about 10
o'clock the Commercial hotel, restau-
rant, Frank Svestka's residence and a
vacant building were nothing but
mass of ruins. The fire started in the
restaurant operated by VIM. Svestka
and made big Roadway before it was
noticed and so there was no chance of
saving very much. The whole town
did not burn on account of the wind
blowing from the south. The amount
of the loss is not known. AS jackson
has no fire protection it took every
thing in its path.

Arabia's Great Need Is Water.

Arabia Is probably one of the old.
est of the oriental countries and Mt
different times has played important
roles in the making of the worlds his
tory. and the probability is that in
the revival of the Orient it will yct
hsure prominently once more. The
northwest part of Arabia is famous
for its many-hued mountains rocks
ana crags. into and out of which has
been hewn many IL fine tomb, temple.
dwelling and theater by the Nabath-
can, Roman, Greek or Egyptian, all of
whom have left their mark behind
them. The great need of the Arabian
peninsula is water, for without that
all-important factor Of everyday life
little can be accomplished, and the
entire absence Of running water in
any shape or form accounts largely
for the lack Of any forward movement
or attempt at industrial or manufac-
turing achievements.

who started the famous BacOn-Shake-
speare controversy. She was born ut
Tallmadge, O., JOG years ago and was
educated in the school of Catherine
Beecher, the sister of Henry Ward
Beecher, and became a school teacher.
Later she began writing books and
tales and delivered many public lee
lures OH literary and historical themes
and gave Shakespearean readings. She
was q friend of Carlyle. Hawthorne
and other eminent men. but her great
est fame lies in the fact that she was
the first to put forth the theory that
Francis Bacon was the real author
of Shakespearc's works.
