Monday evening. The fire was discov-
cred by one of the younger children

spread so rapidly that the family had
barely time to escape with the clothes
they had on. Mrs. Weiss. who is an in
valid was carried by her oldest daugh
ter to door which refused to open and
was passed out through the upper part
Of the door after the glass had been
broken. Mrs. Weiss was in a critical
condition for several hours after the
fire As a result Of the shock and ex
posture. Included with the destruction
of the house and furniture were I25
bushels Of potatoes. The barn, few

fective f1ue. The loss is roughly es-
timated at $780, with a small insur-
ance.

They were ordered to the front

men and forty-eight officers, there
lived only seventeen. and only FIVE OF
these were fit for service. OF the one

but two or three have given their

No one will wonder that Mr.. Jack
prizes this little good book OF his as
his most sacred possession. And its
associations have attached a new
meaning to what it contains, and it is
more precious than gold.
Mr. Jack could not meet all of the
qualifications required. and conse-
quently he was left behind. But he
has been called again to his colors,
and will report the first of July. He
expects this time TO reach the front,

THOMAS JACK HAS
HISTORIC BlBlE

History frequently winds around thS
bible. and in nearly every family there
is copy of the good book which is
particularly loved on account OF its
associations.
Thomas Jack, bookkeeper for the
Switzerland & McFarlane Co., has
such bible. and II is a possession OF
priceless worth. He will keep it as
long as he lives. for there is woven
about II some of the most sacred
memories of his life.
II is little pocket edition 80 by
AZ and it was given 10 him by his
sister in 1907, when he "left bonnie
Scotland a long ways behind him"
For this fact alone he treasures the
book. but there is another incident
connected with it of more Importance.
At the beginning of the great world
war Mr.. Jack was in Alberta. Canada,
at the town of Calgary. He was a
lieutenant of national guard com.
pany. and one evening when the men
had assembled for drill at the exhi-
bition building. a calf was made for
volunteers for the Princess Patricia
regiment. The regiment was so called
in honor of the daughter of the Duke
of Connaught, then governor general
of Canada. This regiment was re-
garded as the finest in the country,
for every man was a seasoned vet
eran. A qualification for enlistment
was that the applicant must have
been in the regular army, or must
have served in Africa.
When it came time TO swear the
men into service it was found that
there was no bible at hand and Mr..
Jack volunteered to get one. He
horse and rode to his home
where he got his little pocket edi-
ton. One hundred and twenty-five
men were sworn in on this little
bible, and they became a part of the
regiment, whose glory will
endure in that land throughout all
future time. The breast of every
Canadian in all the coming genera
tons will swell with pride at the men
ton of that noble band, for history
records nothing finer than the history
