SET TUB AVOODS OX FIRE.
Fisliinc Party With Banjo Makes
Trouble and Los For Stanley.
Farmer Stanley of the Aldenvllle
road, on whose land tiie Lackawaxen
flows, had a thrilling experience fight
ing fire. Where the river Hows
through Mr. Stanley's farm there Is
a good lishing ground, so much so
that Mr. Stanley gave John Dateman
and Percy Curtis permission to
launch a boat wherein to spend their
leisure evenings angling for the llnny
tribe.
Mr. Curtis is a fine banjo player,
and while he plays the banjo Mr.
Dateman is kept busy with the rod
and reel, as the melodious strains
from the banjo call the fish from all
directions.
One evening last week it grew
dark before their usual boatload of
fish had been called by the banjo, so
they rowed to shore and set Are to a
large stump close to the river bank
in order to give the wily fish an op
portunity to discover from whence
the sweet strains of music came.
After lighting the stump their luck
was great, they being so much elated
with their new method of calling the
finny tribe to their boat that they
went home at a late hour, leaving
the stump on fire, but the next morn
ing, as a good breeze came up, it
fanned the stump into a blaze which
soon got to raising the old Nick in
Farmer Stanley's lumber tract, which
adjoins the river bank.
After the farmer had fought the
fire until he was exhausted he sent
a messenger posthaste for the two
fishermen to come immediately and
pay for their evening's pleasure.
They were terribly scared when the
summons came, but they responded
and worked with a will until the fire
was extinguished. Farmer Stanley
forgave the boys this time, but he
says for them to look out next
time.
The Wolf's Tooth as Mascot.
A singular revival is taking pla:o
In Paris for wearing the tooth of a
wolf or badger set in gold as a mas
cot. An old superstition connected
the wearing of such ornaments
as provocative of good fortune. The
custom of wearing a thumb ring is
nlso being resuscitated, and at this
present time a charming young ac
tress on the English stage Is demon
strating the vogue, j.artly, no doubt,
because it Is in keeping with tho
period in which she Is living in the
play, and partly in recognition of the
fashion Paris is patronizing. Lon

upon for 11 generation as Us greatest
fire risk.
Before it had spent itself it bad ren

side of Albany street, caved in, carry
ing them down three stories. Four
men were rescued, some badly Injured
and search was begun for others.

It could be headed off it hud nttalneo.
resistless force in u district composed

great coal wharves. It licked up the
few little wooden structures on the
"water" side of the street and then
reached out for tenement houses across

Twenty-four persons were Injured,
twenty of these being firemen. The
most serious Injury, however, was a
broken leg.
