Hendricks. The Berne fire department was called, which promptly responded, but were too late to accomplish much good. A true saying of "in time of peace prepare for war," was demonstrated when the fire apparatus of this place [was brought forth-with both tanks frozen, and last but not least, a grain of corn was found in the nozzel that kept the flow of water from cqm- ’ Ing through when the engine began to work. Our chemical engine can and has done good work, and if properly attended to will continue to do so. What this place needs is a good volunteer fire department, men who can care for and operate the same at any emergency, keep the engine properly protected from freezing. and ready to work at a moment's call. Give the members of such fire company a pay of SI.OO per call, have only a limited number of active members, urge said members to have weekly practice so as to become pro- . fieient and can be depended upon, j it is true that fires in Monroe have been few and far between, and in

At Last—the Picture Different-Coming Three Tremendous Stories Interwoven With the Devil’s Thread of Trickery THE SENSATION OF SENSATIONS—DON’T MISS IT THE STORY OF WICKEDNESS A King there was—and his Queen —and then came Satan. That was in Egypt when the Nile flowed silver—hundreds of years ago. But wickedness chooses neither time, person nor place. Your conscience is its only possible conqueror and its temptive combat is constantly smoldering in the fires of iniquity. * You will see the King of Egypt smear his Queen’s chamber with the blood of deceit—You will see a Russian poet, inspired with greed, smear an entire nation with the blood stains of misinterpreted patriotism—You will see a feast in Venice where the Grim Reaper laughed with Satan when the guests drank lustily of the hostess’ poisoned wine!
