It is diffi- cult to imagine what the dual role SO defty and intelligently handled' by Mir. Post would be in the hands of a less ac- complished actor. It is credit to his high talents as an actor that playgoers have gone to see him time and again in this success. In fact durnig both his New York and Chicago engagements popular requests caused those engagements to be extended until he rounded out a year in New York and six months in Chicago, and previous bookings, in both instances, caused engagements to be brought to d close.

SERIOUS FIRE AT LAUREL

u Ihe most spectacular and disastrous
fire that has occurred in Laurel, Del
in several years,On Friday night, about
II o'clock, totally destroyed a large
warehouse owned by the Wootten &
Hastings Company. An adjoining
warehouse owned by the Robinson
Hardware Company was partially
burned. New basket making machin-
cry that had only recently been pur-
chased by the Marvel Package Com
pany as cost of 100000, was ruined.
The origin Of the fire was not known
but it is supposed to have been caus-
ed by sparks from the engine of a
passing train.
The burned buildings were situated
on Railroad street in the southern part
of the town, Immediately in front of
the Pennsylvania Railroad freight sta
ton and there were no buildings to
the south of them. Just north of them
is a thickly settled residential section
and had the strong wind been blowing
from the south instead of from the
north, much of the town, it is thought,
would have been destroyed as the
burning embers were carried by the
wind several hundred feet to a field
where corn had been grown. A stack
of fodder standing in the field fully
200 yards distant was consumed and
OF corn shucks were burning
like torches in various parts of the
field.
Knowles Galloway, one of the first
on the scene, was burned and his left
hand and right shoulder were hurt
when part of the roof of the Wootten
& Hastings Company building fell in
On him. He, with two other men, were
rolls of paper used in lining
cars for sweet potato shipping, when
le was caught by the burning embers.
His injuries are not serious.
Wootten & Hastings Co. carried no
insurance and this company's loss is
lbout $1,000. The others are thought
o have been protected by insurance. |

The saddest month OF all the year;

Who was so quickly taken away
One year ago today.

A voice we loved is still,

Which never can be filed.

We are listening for In vain,
And our eyes grow dim watching
And our hearts are sad with pain
We miss you, father when the morning
shines.
We miss you when the night returns:
We miss you here, We miss you there,
Dear father. we miss you everywhere.
Yet again we hope to meet thee, father.
When the day Of life is fed,
Then In heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
