A WISE LAD.
A Pittsburg teacher has a seven-year-old
pupil whose mind Is very fer
tile in invention. 1
Seeing an expression of pain on his
face as he raised his bund, she asked,
"What is it, Jamie?"
"I have such a bad headache I think
I must go home," wbb the reply !
Putting her hund on his head and
finding it quite cool, she said, "I
think it can't ache much, Jamie. You
would better not go now."
Jamie went buck to his work, but
soon his hand was raised again and J
inquiry developed the fact that his
tooth ached so severely that he felt he
could not remain a moment longer.
The teacher looked at his teeth, and
!
finding them in remarkably tine con
dition, once more assured him that
the pain was only imaginary, and 're
turned to her class.
She hud just become ubsorbed In
the lesson when a wail from Jamie's
seat caused her to go to him again,
and with some impatience she said,
"Well, Jamie, what can it be this
time?"
With tears in his eyes and ruining
down his cheeks, Jamie answered,
"It's stomach-ache, and that's so far
down you can't see it." Woman's

FIRE AT DAYTON. VA.
Mr. Will Mellott sends us the
following account of a lire that'
will be interesting to those of our j
readers who have friends at Day
ton. Ed. j
About 3 o'clock on the morning !
of the 24th ult., the citizens of 1
Dayton, Va., were aroused by 1
the alarm of tire.
It consumed several large'
buildings, including a drug store,
the postoffice, Holms' Hall, U. B. I
church, Waverly House and sev-1
eral dwellings. The fire origiua-1
tod on the second Jloor of the
drug store. It was held in check
for half an hour, but in spite of
all Dayton could do, it, with oth
er buildings, was burned to the
ground. The men and boys work
ed faithfully with no water works
except a hand force pump, and
one valve of that did not work
well. After draining a few cis
terns near, they hauled the pump
to the mill race. Here the trou
ble began, for the hose was too
short to reach the fire, which
was gaining ground fast. The
Harrisonburg Fire Campany was
then phoned for to bring more
hose; at the same time country
people were seut for. The Fire
Company was detained somewhat
on account of conveyance, but in
an hour and a half they arrived,
connected the hose, set the coun
try men to the pump While they
went to tearing down an old build
ing to break the couise of the
flames. The Fire Company be
ing well trained soon controlled
the tire. .
The exact cause of tho tire is
not known. There are many who
believe the tire to have been of in
cendiary oiigin.. If it is found
that an incendiary has been at
work, and he be caught, it is not
likely that he will get off easily.
A railroad conductor in Cen
tral Pennsylvania was passing
through his coach taking up tick
ets, when he noticed an obstrep

its mother, a buxom lady, who
was making a strenuous effort to
satisfy the baby's appetite aud
pacify it by offering it "nourish
ment," which the babe uproar-
lousiy reiusea xo accept, i no
mother reeatedly urged the(
child to "take you' dinna" aud
finally as a last argument to in
ducothe child to partake of the
natural food, she said ; "Take
you'tlinna, or I'll give it to de
