Mountain Hoss, Burned

The old hostelry at the eastern
base Of Shenandoah mountain, a we'll
known inn of former days, was de-
stroyed by FIRE Tuesday morning.
1t was unoccupied at the time, and
while the fire would seem to be in
cendary origin, it is more probable
that some one had used it the previ-
ouse night leaving some fire or Gig
ar stump. This is more theory. as
we have not even heard a rumor to
that effect.
The west-bcund mail driver says
there was no sign of blaze when he
passed, and the east-bound carrier,
who met at Headwaters, found the
building at full blaze.
This is the second house to be burn
ed at that point, so says one of our
Oldest men, though he cannot recall
the time of the other burning.
The message received on Tusday
also stated that forest fire was rag
ing in Shenandoah, south of the
Mountain House, and the government
stations were busy calling for help
to check the blaze.
1t is doubtful whether the noun
tain House will be rebuilt, as it was
locate on big survey, owned
now by tie government. 1t is
remembered by travellers as COM

Lest We FORGET

The following is taken from my
weather book for last year:
1913 Dec. 3, night. The first
snow and only slight sprinkle. No
feeding up to this time and ground
but slightly frozen.
The above snow lasted but one day.
Then came rainy spell, and no more
snow until Dec rs. Between these
SHOWS we have had warm cloudy and
foggy weather-very fine for winter.
On the 10Th day of Dec. the Con-
federate monument was placed on it's
base in the court yard, beautiful day
But little feeding has been done yet
none in Bluegrass pastures. 4
The day after Christmas it COM
menced to get cold and it showed a
slight sprinkle. Mercury ran down
to Is above O. Snow was gone in a
day or SO and the cloudy, murly
weather began.
New Years day was cloudy and
murky-mereury standing at about
40 above.
Jan, 2 1919, snow fell to a depth of
eight inches-much colder-mercury
ran down to below, on the morning
of the 4th of Jan.
1919 Jan Is, bright beautiful
day. A soft spell has struck us again
and on the night of the 18th i. rained
all night, and the snow is gone. All
the balance Of January is pretty, cold
frosty nights, and mercury running
through the day to 40 and often as
far up as ~ =.
On up into Feb. it continued wealth
.er like this. On the night of Feb. Z.
it showed 2 inches, but it Is warm
and will soon be gone.
March a., 1919. This winter has
been a regular joke. No. snow, or
scarcely any during the whole wtn-
ter. To day fire went out In the Of
flee and 1t Is very comfortable.

 Yes, Mawruss," Abe Potash said, there is some of our people which seemingly has got the fdee that if they show any sympathy for them poor Jehudim in the old country. the United States Secret Service will be after them for carrying a concealed hyphen or something and have them inferred in Southern prison camp for the duration of the Peace Confer ence, although such soft hearts they've got it. Mawruss, that they cry like little babies every time Will liam s. Hart gets misunderstood on a moving picture fillum."
 And yet, Abe, there ain't one of our people alive today, which don't owe it to the fact that some time or another in Russia or in Spain or even way back in Mitsroyim Hooretz. his folks was helped out from starvation or slaughter by other folks, both Jewish and non-Jewish, with hearts of mercy, Abe" Morris Perlmutter de- clared, which if them good hearted people which had mercy on our brothers in olden times would have considered that they had done enough to show how good hearted they were by getting all broke up over the sui ferings of moving picture stars, Abe, where would nose of Us Jehudim be today? Am I right or wrong?"
 'Still, Mawruss, I think that those of us which is moving picture fans appreciates just as much as those Of us who ain't, y'understand tha the food, the protection and the money which our friends gave in olden times wasn't gifts outright. Us Jews hold all them benefits on consignment and on memoranda, Mawruss. We've got to account for them now, Mawruss, and when the American Jewish Re- lief Committee comes to us and says they want to raise thirty-five million dollars for our starving brothers in Europe, they ain't asking us for our money, Mawrusls. This money don't belong to us. We are only taking care of it until the time comes when other Jews needs it to keep them selves alive the way it was given to our forefathers to keep themselves alive. With us Jews, it ain't a ques- ton of being merciful about that money; it's question of being hon. est"
 Furthermore, Abe, there is money coming into the American Jewish Re lief Committee from good hearted people which ain't 1ews,' Morris said. Their money is their own and they could do with it what they please, and with the large amounts they have given to the American Jewish Relief Committee instead of going to moving pictures they could have broken their hearts watching Caruso crying
