Reused to a sense Of need
We've pledged our word and deed
To this great cause;
AS women Of the race.
Each in her rightful place,
Wen keep our onward pace,
Nor dare to pause
With aim to elevate
Wen strive to concentrate
Our energy;
For stronger womanhood.
For best and greatest good

Great issue Of the day,
Loom UP before our way
Yet on we press;
Stirred On by purpose true,
Each effort we'll renew
Our object well pursue

lows:
A lad who once lived in far-off
Greece was very sad because lie had
no one to love. Quicksilver brings a
beautiful maiden, Pandora, to him,
along with a box. Her curiosity to
see inside the box leads to the rais-
ing of its lid, wfsereupon numerous
troubles fly out, biting and singing as
they go. She is very sorry for this
and cries about it. "A single voice
from the box begs to be let out, saying
that it j Hope She lifts the lid and
it jumps out. Epimetheus has been
rude to Pandora because she insisted
on raising the lid, but Hope BY her
stories Of love and happiness makes
things cheerful again and brings hap
piness among children ever after.

BARNS DESTROYED BY CONFEDERATION Early Morning Fire in West
 Cromwell Does Damage INCENDIARY, IS BELIEF
Investigating Theft of Memorial Tablet From Bridge Rev. Mir. Phillips Addresses Bible Class - Returns From Hospital-Bricfs.

Two barns were destroyed and four COWS lost their lives in a fire which broke out in one of the build. inss on the farm of William Noble of West Cromwell. near the Berlin town line, this morning at about 3 o'clock.
 Mr. Noble discovered the fire at about 2;30 o'clock, hearing the cracking of the flames and the moans of the cattle in the barn. He rushed from his house and saw that one Of the buildings was in flames.
 Ncighbors were summoned and they formed bucket brigade, their efforts being confined 10 preventing the flames from spreading to Mir. Noble's home. Another barn nearby soon caught fire and it was not long before both structures were reduced to ashes.
 The barn in which tho fire started was filled with hay, while the other contained tobacco owned by Philo Dutton. The extent of damage is not known, although both barns were partially covered by insurance, as were stock and farm equipment.
 That the fire was of incendiary origin is the opinion of NIr. Noble. He believes that some knight of the road" desiring to get out of the cold night air, climbed into the born for a nights sleep. He prob- ably lit his pipe, starting the blaze. A queer fact, however, is that when Mr, Noble reached the barn, both doors were closed. This has caused wonder on the part of those inter- ested, and, although 1t is not prob able, the remains of the barn are be- ing searched for evidence which would prove that someone had been in the barn.
 II was reported that a neighbours dos had set up a howl at akAut 12 o'clock and some poultry also owned by this neighbor had shown signs of uneasiness, Mr. Noble did not re- tire until about 12 o'clock and at that time everything appeared to be in a satisfactory condition.
 A large crowd of neighbors gath cred at the scene of the fire and all helped to the utmost to prevent the fire from spreading to the adjoining house. Buckets were moving con- tinuaily until all danger was over. The fact that the wind was not blowing toward the house aided the fire fighters considerably.
