Cottage ut Orphanage Burned

The complete destruction of The
Dennis Simmons nursery by fire early
Tuesday morning is the only serious
fire In the history OF the Townsville
Baptist orphanage since its founding
in 1885. The 80 boys who lived in
this building We're aroused as soon
as the flames were discovered and
carried to other buildings on the cam
pus. The boys ranged from 5 to 10
years of age. Practically all of the
furniture was saved.
The building was one of the oldest
on the grounds, having been built
In 1889 from funds donated by the
late Dennis Simmons, big lumberman
of WILLIAMSON, Martin county, who
left an endowment of S100.0 900 to the
orphanage at his death. General
Manager NJ. L. Kesler states that the
building will be replaced as soon as
possible. and will remain the Dennis
Simmons nursery.
The fire Is believed to have started
from a defective flue, and when dis
covered the kitchen roof was mass
of flames. which spread rapidly to
other parts of the building, one
story structure in the heart of the
grounds. No other buildings were
ever in danger.
The 80 youngsters have been as
signed to quarters in other boys dor
mitories. and things are running as
usual today. A meeting of the execu-
tive board has been called for Sat-
urday at which time Superintendent
kesler will lay before the board some
suggestions on a recent tour of or
phanages in New York state.

would you feel for just a moment till
all was made safe and happy by some
magic turn OF events that scattered

Well, that is just the way that lit.
tie Jef Sewell, two and-a-half sum
mers, son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. W. Sew
ell. feels when he sees and hears all
these things down at the camp OF
young people from Monroe which his
mother is chaperoning on the Cataw-
ba. ten miles below Lancaster. JEFF
Is the mascot. entertainer, and gen
cidi udIlluS ul the camp.
Twas raining in the night. A lit
tie way JEFF lifted the fly door of the
tent and arranged for fair weather
next day. II was done so easily by the
collOquy which he carried on: Mr..
Rain. 20 away, We want the sun to
shine" Alright" said Mr.. Rain.
Good bye" said JEFF. and the whole
thing was done
JEFF saw the bear prowling about
the camp picking up the scraps so
scantily LETT by the hungry bunch. So
scanty We're they that the big hear
sought in wider circles for more food.
Fancy him sticking his nose under
the tent and running it along a bare
arm or foot, shifting, ready to sample
a delicious morsel. jeff saw this too.
Manfully he grabbed his toy pistol
which at once became a bloody six
shooter and bang. the old bear lay
dead and everybody was sate,
And JEFF does another thing that
so many OF us wish to do and so few
may do. He jumps in an air plane
and flies right across the wide and
rocky Catawba. jumping off from the
high cliff on one side and landing on
another high elm on the other. and
back again safely. And he does It
lot easier than Maynard flew over tae
Rockies.
Who can say how real are these
things TO little JEFF and the others
who lingsr in the allotted years Of
childhood? And who can say. again,
how real are the little heartbreaking
fancies. the deep distresses. and the
daily crises. that these little ones un
dergo. and of which we are often TOO
careless and intolerant and unsympa-
thetic from lack of understanding?
So far have we gone away from them
that we cannot remember what they
meant to us. and so we do not know
what they mean to them. IL Is well
that the fancies of the little ones are
lively and travel quick so that they
can get over the difficult places OF
else we should all die of
grief when we are very little and no
one would know the illness that car
ride us away.
