iertap •int timely` warnings, op the topic of safety first The recent prevalence
, .r.toreet fires sor* of Ottawa led the editor to publish the following excel
lent poem which, alas, is all.too•ellosely'applicable to practiealiy every pro -
since of Canada, particularly the• northern parts.)
',Look to the North, ye people! Te need not strain your eyes,
Nor climb same lofty steeple, to see the. smoke clouds rise.. -
More swift than deer or:bison when° starts a wild stampede
Along the whole horizon the flaming billows speed. - '
Like vandals loosed for pillage, they sack the countryside,
And level farm and village before their lustful pride.
Their mad will never falters, as on their way they pass,
Still raising heathen altars to gods of Carelessness. •

These, are the silent traitors who unto ravage yield

Amid the city's bounties,' the' careless andtthe'blind,
