A disastrous conflagration was narrow- ly averted in town on Sunday last. Three little children from 4 to 6 years of aie, were playing at the rear of Pittison's grocery ?tore. They found a matih somewhere and lii;hted a pile of paper in i ja passageway at 'r=ar of the store. Fortunately the blaze was discovered in time by Mrs. H. Down, who lives in the s>ine block, which is owned'by Mr. D >wn, and the blaze extinguished. It was an extremely narrow escape from a bad fire. The Durham Furnituro Company have recently purchased 170.000 f>er of In>;s from John Earle of Feveriham. With • motor truck the company is purchasing, the logs will be brought to the factory at Roi-k Mills or to Flesherton stikion. While on the surface it 'loVs as th Migh this was a large 'purchase of timber, it does not appear so when it is ''learned that the company's daily cinsumpdon amouf>ts to be'-.wesu 8000 and 10.00 feet. â€" Ive\ lew.

A tlurry of excitement was occasioned in the South End one ''afternoon Ust Week when Mrs. Tandusen's residence opposite the town hall was {f .and to he on tire. It appears that Mrs. VanDusen had placed several small sticks which she had brought in from ou'side 'in the wood box, not knowing that there wis live fire on them |after coming from a burned heap of rubbish. These started a blaze which, before being extinguished by neighbors, had burned up the wood box and part of a tuble. scorched the paint off the woodwork and destroyed the wall paper. A little more headway and the tire might have been a serioys one for the town.

LEGARD Flesherton, Ontario OHN PAUL WARBURTO.V, who died at Hamuli the other day, was one of the greatest detec- tives of history, one of the most powerful of British servants in India, a terror to evildoers throughout the Punjab. He is referred to by Kipling OS the magician whom Strickland was "foolish enough toF take for a model," and everybody who has read "Plain Tales From the Hills" will remember Strickland who for a time became "Miss Youghal's Sais." Of Warburton Kipling said: "Now in the whole of Upper India there is only one man who can pass for Hindu or Mohammedan, hide-dresser or priest, as he pleases. He is feared and re- spected by the natives from. Ghor Kathri to the Jamma AIu.sjid; and he 13 supposed to have the gift of invisi- bility and executive control over many devils. But this has done him no good in the eyes of the India Gov- ernment." Some time later the In- dian Government did officially recog- nize the great work that had been done by Warburton, and it is pre- sumed that whea he died he had no reason to feel that he had been neg- lected. But even if this were not so one would either from Kipling that Indian civil servants have got into the habit of being unrecognized and that they would be rather embar- rassed if their merits were officially proclaimed. W^arburton was an Afghan. His mother was a lady famous for wealth and beauty and a near relative of the King of Kabul. Her husband was a high court official. But she fell Ln love with Robert Warburton, an ensign of artillery, and with him she eloped, taking along her little son. Jahan Dad Khan. They remain- ed in hiding until the husband realiz- ing that she was lost forever, divorc- ed her. Then she became Warbur- ton's wife, and the new husband became the adopted father of the boy, whose name was changed to John Paul Warburton. In course of time the adventurous couple had a son, who became known to fame as Sir Robert Warburton, author of "Eigh- teen Years in the Khyber." The halt brothers both entered the In- dian service, John Paul's natural in- clinations taking him to the police department. He understood the Indian character as no Caucasian could have done, and to this advan- tage of birth he added a genius for the detection of crime, a fearlessness and a fine sense of honor, that made him respected as w^ell as feared by the criminal classes of India. He became known as "Wa-ar Button ! Sahib," which was shortened to "But- ; ton Sahib." the name about which countless legends have grown in the past half century. The most amazing gift of Button Sahib's was perhaps his reading of native faces. Time and time again, after glancing at fifty suspected per- sons, he would unerringly declare the guilty man, and naturally enough as lime went on his i:iere presence would cause the superstitious criminals to copfess themselves. A correspondent of the London Times reports an in- stance related to him by a friend who was riding with "Button" through a big Hindu fair. Suddenly "Button" stopped and ordered a policeman to bring before him an ordinary-looking man who was some little distance away. The friend asked "Button" â- what he wanted with the man, and he answered that he was sure he was a criminal. Sure enough when he was searched u set of burglar's tools was found upon him. slung by tine cords over his bare shoulders, under his clothes. Warburton had never seen the man before. There was nothing to mark him out as a criminal, but to the uncanny gift of the Afghan detective guilt must have been writ- ten on his face. Sucli exploits travel- ed all over India almost as swiftly as though they had been published in the newspapers, and year after year Warburton's fame increased. His influence in a crowd was marvelous. Once at Amritsar when the Mohammedans and Hindus clashed and a bloody riot seemed imminent, Warburton leaped from his carriage with the coachman's long whip iu his hand, roaring like a lion "Scoundrels! What would ye do?" The entire mob fled as one man, stumbling over each other in their frantic efforts to escape. At Patiala, while the plague riots were raging in 1902, Warburton walked unarmed and alone into a fanatical and frenzied mob, and turned the tide of feeling by his mere presence and name. M the risk of his life he rescued the medical otflcer and hos- pital staff from a burning house in which they had taken refuse from the rioters, who were demanding their blood and who were waiting for them to burn to death or to come forth to certain murder. Once at Samarkand a party of Indian civilians came across a Hindu who was wait- ing patiently there for Warburton to die in order that he might return to India. It was not the British raj he feared, but this single Afghan whom millions of Indian natives believed to be the master of innumerable devils. Warburton, died in his eightieth year, of shock following a riding ac- .â- ident. The Times correspondent says: "He was a great gentleman in the old sense of the word. The thing that most struck those who came into contact with him was that though his whole life had been spent in the detection of crime, he preserved a remarkable simplicity of character .ind a very great faith in Human na- ture to the end." The writer ques- tions whether It was politic for the Crovernwent to pern-.it the knowledge 3f Warburton's death to become gen- eral, so great was the influence of his name, but it seeius not unlikely that a return to the scene of his activities after death will not appear o the superstitions to be a feat be^ vond the powers of Warburioa HENS BOOT SPECIAL $2.7q 30 pairs Boya' Lace Boots, some patent, some box calf, same grain leather, hne and medium weights.
