BURNING OF A STABLE. The Immense Feed, Livery and Sales Stables Destroyed by Fire?One Horse Consumed? Other Houses Redueed to Ashes. Koi'U Hill HortiM. Ot t. 13tli Monday afternoon at half-past tive o'clock, Kerr A: Heath's t mamuioth t-l; 1 ?K* <?n Main Street was discovered on lire. When first noticed there was hut a tinyj puff" lokc comin<: through thej root he centre of the stable. Iu lei. nan a minute's time the whole roof was ablaze and within a quarter of an hour the entire structure war in ashes. As scon as the alarm was fir-t sounded the horses and mules were liberated, some ol the vehicles rolled out and a loi ol harness saved hv those who arrived helorc the heat became so intense. It was though! that every horse was saved, but one, eonlined in a box stall, was overlooked in the hurry and it perished in flames, its charred remains being found afterwards. Two buggies one surrey and a cart were also destroyed, besides a lot of new harness?about a dozen sets. The house occupied by Mr W. TV Hamilton was consumed. An old: buildingat the rear of the stable! - 1 1 v 1 1 l A f ? I was uuriifii. i\ uaiii ik-mmiu ?ui. Hamilton's home was likewise consumed. By the efforts of neighbors, assisted by the protection of trees in the front yard, .Mrs. Woods's home was saved, as were others which were threatened. The lire department, commanded by the chief, Mr. J. F. Reid, and the mayor, Mr. W. Ch Hutchison, responded promptly to the call and placed its hose in a lew seconds. It required perhaps ten minutes to heat the water in the boiler of the firo engine. While these minutes were exnir ing, the fire burned w ith renewed | furv. The hose on the street be | gan to smoke and scorch, 1 >ut 1 finally there was a shrill shriek I from the engine whistle, a drum ming, thumping sound and the crowd waited expectantly to see the water spurt.. l?ut, when it did come, the stream was a disappointment to the liremeu. I (WiLlll"' li H'lv iliiMK lii?* ! i tin III of hose, wafer could he seen pouring nut at a number of places. The hose was uncoupled and new pieces substituted lor the sections that had burd, but these, ton. were unable to stand the pressure. After the lire was over, it was found that ten see lions of ho e had bur-fed. J lie wooden stable wa> built by .Mr. Kd^ar i'oa_r, about twelve vears airo, was two stories in i ' height, lot) feet in length audi Contained about loo.Out) pounds of roughness. When destroyed! it was owned by .Mr. Samuel Friedheim, of Fort Lawn. It was) insured for $1800 with Mr. I\ (, rong. i The J. Frank Workman cottage, i jn^f West of the stable, was also owned by Mr. Friedheim. ami was ; insured lor $f>00 with .Mr. I'oag. This house was occupied by Mr. \V. I'. Hamilton. His furni tore, some of which was saved, was insured for $-00. This is the second time this year that Mr. Hamilton's homo has been visited by fire. His father in-law? Mr. J. W. Taylor, was so mucli excited that he could with diffi culty be removed from the burn ing building, and his daughter Miss Carrie, had also to be re moved, as she had not observed her danger. At the time of the fire then were 47 mules and horses and about twenty vehicles in tlu stable, in addition to a large amount of feed stull". These wen owned by Kerr A Heath and wen insured for $.'5000; $500 beitu with I'. <i'oag; $750 with \Y .1. Roddev; and $1750 witl Hutchison iV Cherry. The oh building at the rear of tin' stabh was not insured. Spontaneous combustion was possibly the cause of the lire i?nt the cause is really unkno.vn How's Thi*.'

To find employment seemed impossible, so he bought i on the Hranciforte Creek six acres of land. He put the land out in vegetables, berries, and j , treefruit, and a chicken yard.

Kb all ' I druggists Alphabet on a l*in Head. Frank J. Mollenhauer is perhaps the most export engraver in New York, if not in the world, nays the New York World. In delicacy of touch and skill in handling delicate instruments his work is something marvelous. 11 is latest achievement was to ongrave the twenty-six letters of the alphabet on the head of a pii>. Under a magnifying glass the letters are clear and distinct, and each is as perfect as any ever engraved for a visiting card or wedding invitation. Hut with the naked eye the minute letters are; merely scratches, which have no discernible foim. Mollenhauer's, work was the result of an attempt! to beat the work of a man who j had engraved the Lord's prayer! on a .'brent piece, and experts j assert that in this ho has sue-j ceeded.

Some time ago a gentleman, in addressing a company of boys, said: "Can any one of you tell mo what a boy is good for?" One of them held up his hand, and began to snap his lingers. Said the speaker, "What is it?" The boy replied, "A boy is a good thing to make a man out of." "Yes, it is a tremenous good thing" was the response of the man. This question and its answer have put us to thinking. If a boy is a good thing to make a man out of, the proper question is, What kind ol a man? That will depend on the influences which surround that boy and the training he has. If influences are bad, then there will be necessary, careful training to counteract tlie bad. The boy does not understand the danger with which he is beset. He does not understand the pitfalls which are in his pathway. He must, therefore, bo warned of his danger when he is a boy. and be taught to oe a man?a royal man. lie must have the education thus uH'orded, and more in the higher Christian schools it possible. If boys are to develop into rood hum), they must I"' widely! trained for nobility ami worth in our churches ami homes. They! must have the right kiml ol mlture?heart, mind and hotly?to make out of them the right kind of men. The two week's old infant of, Mr. and Mrs. J.
