Three Businesses in Colson Building Damaged—Terre Haute Firemen Callsd to Assistance.

By Special Correspondent. PARIS, 111., June 12.—Entailing of loss of between $40,000 and $50,000, fire gritting the third story of the U. O. Colson Novelty company's building on South Main street Sunday morning at 10 o'clock.

The second floor, occupied by the Colson company, and, the first floor, occupied by the Crawford Grocery ocmpany and the Harper barber shop, were almost ruined by the flood of water that was poured on the building. Assistant Fire Chief J. A. Caughlin, of Terre Haute, together with another n an from headquarters, the entire No. 1 company of four men and a member of the No. 7 company with 2,000 feet to hose, came to Paris on a special car at 12 o'clock, but arrived too late to be of any assistance, dbhe local department, aided by scores of volunteers, had the flames completely under control by that hour.

Loss Partly Insured.

The estimated loss is as follows: U. O. Colson building, $10,000 U. O. Colsor stock, $25,000 Crawford Grocery company, $7,500 Harper barber shop, $100. According to Secretary Edwin Jaggers, of the Colson company, the insurance will cover 90 per cent of the loss on both the stock and the building. 11 surance was carried with practically evtry company in Paris.

The fire is thought to have originated from defective wiring in the rear of the third floor. The roof caved in and lo a time it was feared the walls v.culd collapse. Chief of Police Ed Bacon and Sheriff Roy McCallister with tl'eir entire forces took charge of the Ujg crowd. On account of dense smoke, three churches, the Christian, Baptist and Christian Science, in the close proximity, had to be dismissed.

Churches Forced To Close. The U. O. Colson Novelty company is engaged in the manufacture of ad-

vertising novelties. A large part of the best stock comes from Germany and according to Mr. Colson, it will be impossible .to renew the stock of supplies so long as the European war is in progress. The company has taken temporary quarters in the second floor of the Safford building. All of the records were saved.

The third floor of the building contained the painting and varnishing departments, the leather and calendar sample rooms. The second floor held the stitching, cutting and sewing machines, besides a large quantity of stock. This floor was flooded with water and is a complete loss. The presses and lithographing machles were across the alley in a building which was not damaged.

The Crawford grocery stock is a complete ruin. About fifty barrels of sugar, stored in the basement, were ruined. The Harper barber shop escaped with small damage to the fixtures.

According to Mr. Colson. the building will be repaired as soon as possible. A large force of men already is at work clearing away the debris.

Then, we ail looked to see how Pa would take it. 'Twas the first time any of us had said anything that might detract at all from Pa's perfection record.

Pa was truly surprised. Ha wasn't lookin' for any such criticism—and he was angered. "When I was a boy," he finally said, looking straight at the offender— "I never questioned my parents about anything they saw fit to tell me. Children are surely losin' all respect for their parents."

We1 all protested that he was wrong' and then the middle child of us made a 'muddle of things by saying: "Did y%ur Pa ever see fit to tell you anything- that wasn't just exactly so?" And when the questioner saw the storm clouds lowering, he scampered put of the room as fast as he could go.

Pa was now determinedly intent upon impressing us with his self-right-eousness—when he was a boy. "Before this time o' night (it was fifteen minutes after eight), I was alius in bed when I "was a boy," he con

I dccrored with the best physicians and tried a number of advertised remedies, but received no permanent benefit. My brother-in-law, R. Tadlock, advised me to try Number 40 For The Blood.

A Pa Dialogue—With Interludes

By Nora Ball Ragsdale.

Once there was a perfect boy. He was our Pa. We know he was perfect because he admits it. Now, of course, we're all proud'that our Pa was a perfect boy and we wish we could have lived at that period so we could have seep him but we do believe if he hadn't been so "terribly" perfect he could have understood us better—we who shouldn't lay the slightest claim to perfection. Why, if we even tried, Pa would take i£ out of us in a hurry by telling of sortie dazzling act of goodness in his boyhood. "Now, when I was a boy,"—we all knew what was coming, we'd heard It a million times, it seemed, before—"I never spent my money for movin' pictures and 'sody' water." This was intended as a rebuke for all of lus. Heretofore, when Pa told that story, w'e had all wondered what on earth he ever did when he got hungry for amusement or ice cream. Suddenly, the eldest of us developed a streaJc of reasoning power and it just burst into words, so: "Well, Pa, didn't you say you was born and brought up in the country? I never saw any ice cream when I'v6 been to the country—except when the folks at home made it—and Ma says there wasn't any movin' pictures anywhere let alone in the country, lorty years ago."

tinued. "I went to bejd and got up with the daylight. I never had anybody tryin' to get me awake at seven o'clock in th^ mornin'. TBy that time I had the fire built in the kitchfen stove and the stock fed and water enough carried up to last through the day." "But Pa, we haven't got any fire to build we use gas. We haven't got any horses to feed we got an automobile and we don't have any water to carry, 'cause it's all piped right into the house," we two said, almost in unison, hoping to assure our stern parent that we weren't really so full of short comings as he seemed to think us. "That's jest it that's jest 'it!" Pa exclaimed^ "Everything is bein' made too toda a 10 mil to shoe: shoe

Now, you children jest- take 'em as a matter o' course." "Let's move back to the country and live like you did, Pa!" excitedly exclaimed the youngest of us. "I think it would be joily fun to live so simple life, never tryin' to get ahead o' somebody else in havin* things. And we could go barefooted when we didn't have shoes and we could get up at four o'clock and 'tend the stock and walk eight miles a day to school and back. Let's move, will you Pa?" "What!" indignantly exclaimed Pa. "Don't you s'pose I know what a life o' drudgery it was on the farm! I don't intend my

to go through the

hardships I had. Not as long as I keep my mind, anyhow!" And we all, decided at a secret caucus that our Pa was a more perfect man that he had been a little boy.
