The roof of Bell's launday. was da - aged by fire on Wednesday, Fortunate- ly the fire was noticed before it had gained much headway. The alarm was rung at two different stations, and in neither case did the bell in the hall res spend, and this delay nearly caused the loss of the building and the plant in the laundry. Our town authorities will some day awake to the necessity of a systensatio and regular inspection of the fire appliances, hydrants and the -fire alarm system, when neglect of this hastaught them a severe lesson. A buoket brigade was formed and they succeeded in putting the fire out before the arrivaliof the firemen, A large and enthusiastic meeting of the supporters of the "Hurons" was held in the council chamber and elect- ed the following officers for the en- suing year: -Hon. president, Dr. C.

Old Solin Asley was of the "old echool," wbatever that may mean, and young John Asley was of the "new sobool," very new, in fact, went in heavily for athletics, ran up a big bill at college for "dad" to pay and then skipped: over to the continent, and there, being up to date, fell in love with a very pretty girl and of course wanted to marry her. • Now, old John Asley not only had no sympathy with his son's matrimonial achemea, but he rather regarded the young man and all his likes and am- bitions as altogether unheard of and therefore dangeroue and to be frown- ed on. It was natural that he should plan for John to enter his office and learn the ways of business. The old man .felt sure it was rank heresy and reck- less foolishness to let the boy marry till he had grounded himself in busi- /MS and its methods. Now the boy wanted to marry Miss Bennett at once and learn the rudiments of business afterward. This did not suit the old man, He admitted that he would not be so. ayerse to the marriage if the young lady hadany money. They discussed the matter some time. . Old John Asley knew that bis son had his own stubborn • and unresisting temperament, And h. changed bis tac- tics. He suggested that John hay* his emit rink the. girl to a dinner party. john's aunt presided at the few enter- tainments the old man gave. This was arranged and the invitation dispatched to "Miss erace Bennett, - Madison avenue, New York." This was the address she had given John and told him it was a friend's • house where she should spend the.win- tet. •Her acceptance came by return post. ' , •The . evening of: the dinner •arrived, and the splendid house' was decorated and ablaze. John's eyes sparkled when he led Miss Bennett up to Introduce her Co his father. • "Father, this is Miss Bennett," be Salt. • u saw his • father give the girl a. • puzzling look and heard him stifle an exclamation, of surprise. Then he no- tieed that the girl was blushing and • seemed in some way ill at ease. ,"How do you do, Miss Grace?" said biinfatherswith the easy familiarity of an old man. "We are very glad to. see you here." Then some one else came up, and the girl.hurrled away. Several times at dinner John saw bis father glance at the .girl and then shake with silent laughter. His hot blood. de- cided that his father was ridiculing the girl of his choice, and he determined to call him to account for it. • He drove avilso Bennett to the station to catch the. late New York train, and when he got back he found 1113 father still up. The -old man became silent and refused him any explanation. All he would say was that if Miss Bennett only bad as much money as Alice Coop- er he would withdraw all his objections and make John a liberal allowance. Miss Cooper was a daughter of an ex -resident, who, 'dying, hal left his only child, Alice, a large fortune, 'John. had .never seen the girl and thought then that he never Wanted to. • In the middle of September youug john'announeed that he was going to New York and would like some funds. The money was forthcoming, and the old man treat chuckled as he handed John the notes in ,a way that only made matters worse. • John went to New York, taking his nag Midnight with him. He was too much attached to tbe horse to leiree him behind and looked forward to 'some delightful gallops with Miss Ben- nett. For two days he hung about the ho- tel, fuming and trying to make up his mind to call on Miss Bennett. One morning he decided to take a ride lit the park before breakfast. Midnight was a handful and needed all his attention for some time. After a good gallop he quieted down and began to act like a rations,' horse agJaollallr% was walking hies along the bridle path and came On a little crowd of persons, including dome of the park workmen and a mounted policeman. • Standing near the group was a band - Nano Kentucky saddler, trembling all over and showing unmistakable signs et having run away, The sidesaddle on him was hanging on his flank, and his mouth dripped blood from an in - 'side nut.
