aided by heavy rainfall, which pre-
vented the spreading Of the flames.
The flames were discovered about
3 o'clock Monday morning by the night
watchman. He experienced some diff
Guilty in arousing aid, and it is said it
was an hour before the work of check

JUST BEING GLAD

Just being glad is
A brave thing to do;
Looking for the glad things
Rather than the blue;
Filling life with sunshine,
Just steady glow;
Looking for the glad things,
Everywhere we go.
Just being glad is
OFTEN hard to do;
Forgetting all tho sad things
That we ever knew;
Living in the sunlight.
Speaking words OF cheer,
Looking for the glad thin&3
Through each busy YEAR
Just being glad brings
Heaven here below,
Looking for the glad things
In the lovc-light's glow;
Burdens will be lighter,
Life seems more complete;
Looking for the glad things,
Glad things we shall meet.
