Mind your steps in forests and elsewhere as well. A gale, not of wind, but of fire, in the little village, burned down a hundred-roomed hotel with all its furniture and nearly all its contents in a scant half hour at midnight. . If you sleep in a wooden hotel while travel ing, be sure of how you are to get out the quick est and safest way, and go to sleep with a heavy wrapper at your side in case you are obliged to sit on the roadside until daylight. This Store is easy to get into and to get out of, and you can drive ordinary furniture cars and a pair of horses in and out eight of the ten entrances and exits. Signed September i, 1918.
