niture and Grocery Co., store was al
so threatened and the window lights
broken.
1t was the heroic work of the Free
port firemen that saved these build
ings and prevented the destruction
of that portion of the business seq
ion. The firemen were driven back
several times by the terrific heat
from the burning elevator across the
street and it was only by providing
shields of tin sheeting for the men
handling the hose that they were able
to approach the building with a
stream of water.
The destruction of the watertank
came as a final act of the conflagra-
ton. The tank adjoined the elevator

tank and spread to the top The bot
tom and top portions of the tank,
which was stl lpartly filled with wat
err, caught fire and when the supports
gave way the tank collapsed. The
heavy slaves fell to the ground and
hoops were caught around the steel
tower.

~ When Freeport citizens realized
that their water tank was in danger
of destruction they sent a call to AL
bany for aid. Albany sent up their
fire engine truck which arrived short
ly before the tank collapsed. The
fire engine succeeded in throwing a
stream of water over the tank, but
had come too late to prevent the des-
truction of the tank.
The Hoeschen elevator had been
opened Wednesday of last week
to receive rye which was then being
threshed and there was between
1000 and 1900 bushels of rye in the
elevator Friday evening, all which is
practically a total loss. The Berger
ding & Rolling store had carload of
salt stored in the west portion of the
elevator, and the Lang & Reaker
Hardware Co., had four new pipeless
furnaces stored their none of which
were saved. Hilner & Nentl automo-
bile dealers had two used Overlands
stored in the building and both are
complete loss.

farmer who lives on Route 3, Box s,

"For two years / had the worst of
stomach trouble and rheumatism"
continued Mr.. Ball, "what little l
managed to eat would sour on my
stomach and was so nauseated after
nearly every meal could not retain

gas and, to add to my other troubles,
was taken with the rheumatism in
my legs and knee joints and got in

After trying lot of other things

Tanlac and, believe me, l soon felt
like a new man. My appetite came
back and l could eat anything wanted

The rheumatism left me entirely and,

The house was made of grass and
leaves, plastered on the inside with
mud, and lined with softer, finer
grass, which his mother had chosen
with the greatest care.
But jolly never paid much atten-
tion to his first home What interest
ed him more than anything else was
food. From dawn till dark, he was al
ways cheeping for something to eat.
And since the other children were just
as hungry as he was, those four
growing babies kept their parents busy
finding food for them. 1t was then
that jolly Robin learned to like angle
worms. And though he ate greedily of
insects and bugs, as well as wild ber-
ries he liked angleworms best.
jolly and his sister and his brothers
could always tell when their father
or their mother brought home some
dainty, because the moment the par
ent lighted upon the limb where the
nest was built they could feel their
home sink slightly, from the added
weight upon the branch.
Then the youngsters would set up a

necks and stretching of orange-colored
mouths.
Sometimes, when the dainty was
snecially big, Mr.. and Mrs. Robin
would say, 'Cuck! Cuck!" That meant
"open wide!" But they seldom found
il necessary to give that order,
Somehow, jolly Robin managed TO
eat more than the rest of the nest
lings. And so he grew faster than the
others. He soon learned a few tricks
too. For instance, if Mrs. Robin hap
pened to be sitting on the nest, TO
keep her family warm, when Mr.. Rob
in returned with lunch for the child
rem, jolly had trick that he played
on his mother, in case she didn't move
off the nest to suit him.
He would whisper to the rest OF the
children. And they would jostle their
fond parent, lifting her UP above them
and sometimes almost upsetting hrr, so
that she had hard work to keep from
falling off the nest,
Mrs. Robin did not like that trick
very well But she knew that Jolly
would not annoy her with it long. In
deed, he was only eleven days old when
he left his birthplace and went out in
to the wide world.
You see, the young folk grew so
fast that they soon more than filled
the house. So there was nothing their
parents could do but persuade them
to leave home and learn to fly.
One day, therefore, Mr.. Robin did
not bring his children's food to the
edge of the nest and drop it into their
mouths. Instead, he stood on the limb
little distance away from them and
showed them a plump angleworm.
The sight of that dainty was more
than Jolly Robin could resist. He
scrambled boldly out of the nest; and
tottering up to his father on his wob-
bling legs, he snatched the tempting
morsel out of his proud parents
bill.
Jolly never went back to the nest
after that. The next day Mrs. Robin
coaxed the other children from home
in the same fashion. And though il
may seem heartless act, it was really
the best thing that could have hap
pened to Jolly and his sister and his
brothers.
You see, they had to learn to fly
And so long as they stayed in the nest
they could never learn difficult feat
like that of flying.
