ly owned by Mrs. Stanley, was burn-
ed to the ground. Mr. Henderson is

the steps of .the barn, carrying a ;bag
of grain on 'his shoulder and the lan-
tern in the other hand. 'The handle
of the lantern broke, and the lan-
tern rolled on down the stairs and
lodged in a :pule of straw which had
been thrown down from :the 'loft. Mr.
Henderson dropped the grain and
grabbed the lantern before it had
:Started a fire amongst the straw, but
the fire had entered the oil, and it
-exploded in Isis hands. The coal oil
was splattered aver him but he was
able to escape without being burned.
It was only by his fast work that all
the live stack was freed. and only a
few hen swere burned. All 'the imple-
ments were destroyed besides the en-
tire ,season's crops. The fire started
about seven o'clock in the morning,
and 'burned itself to the ground with-
in a couple of hours. Although no
one was able to, ender the inferno, 'the
•driving shed and the chicken coops,
:which are very dlo'se to the ,barn,

parently good health, That evening
he entertained some friends at his
home and shortly after midnight, af-
ter fixing up his furnace before re-
tiring, he was stricken with an at-

Appointed' Night Supervisor.—.At a
, meeting of the Clinton hospital board
a much needed addition was made to
' the staff in the appointment of Miss
A. B. Sinclair, RN., to the position
of night supervisor. The 'hoard has
long felt that Miss Granger's duties as
supervisor were .'ekceed'ingly heavy,
sometimes necessitating continuous
activity for 48 ,hours without rest,

for the position and received 212 ap-
plications, Miss Sinclair was chosen
partly at least on ,account of her wide
perience.

WANDERERS.
Two hundred thousand unwanted,
homeless boys—with a scattering of
girls—are wandering about America,
aneagerly fed, scantily clothed, (being
told endlessly to "move .on." No use
to go home -even if they could get
there—for home offers even less in
sustenance than the open road, No
jobs to be had regularly. Few `beds to
sleep in, except the bard ground in
the tramp "jungles" along the rail-
road tracks, For several years this
army has been recruiting. Eighteen
months ago it began to swell rapidly
to its present size. They are '.good
boys. They would work :11 there were
work to do. They don't drink. They
don't steal. They are shy, suspicious
and miserable: This army of boys fol-
1dws a line of march chiefly from the
South and 'Southwest. They belong
nowhere. Nobody wants them. Usual-
Iy they are children of families in
which the wage earners are out of
work and where there are younger
[brothers and sisters to be fed and
housed. Persistent rumor as to the

Ask the boys why they are on the
road—the story they tell will be al-
most always the same. A few years
ago adventure alone was responsible
for young boys running away from
home. Today it is entirely different:
Sometimes a boy leaves of his 'own
accord. He has seen his father, who
knows a trade, tramp the streets for
eight or ten months. What chance,
has he who 'knows no trade? In the
past, broken homes were occasional-
ly the cause of homeless boys. This is
no l'on'ger true. NOW the parents are
usually living together, but are un-
able to keep the boys. One 'boy of
sixteen said that his father grew very
angy at his failure to find a job. "I
went to work at your age," the fa-
ther repeated. 'Thus his son was
crowded out into the homeless army.
Frequently the boys ha've letters from
their families, • Mike had a letter the
other day from his. sister. It was any
schoolgirl's letter—all chatter of the
neighborhood, but no suggestion that
her brdther return.
(When a lad decides to leave 'home,
his bundle on his 'back and hope in
his heart, his method of travel is
either hitch=hiking or riding the
freight trains. 'There is less hitch- \ �'
hiking these days, because tourist -�
traffic is lighter than it Was. One of Rl'm

Pacific agent says 'their policy is, of
course to try to remove the transients
from the train. 'In the past year they
have ,been almost totally unable to
do this. In' addition, he has been ob-
liged to instruct his men not to bo-
ther the boys after the train has be-
gun to move, for if any injury re

a considerable number of the boys
are kilted in catching trains. They
step on the cutting -bar lever be-
