About midnight Monday a bold burglar paid a visit to the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. C.

AN ELECTRICIANS MIRACULOUS ESCAPE Receives Full Voltage Over Street--Prompt Action Saves His Life. Campbellford, July 8 --While en- gaged in adjusting electric light wires, on the roof of Birk's drug store, Ronald MacPherson had a terrible experience. He was chang- ing a switch box on the third flat and had occasion to change the wir- ing. Going to the roof, he leaned out with a pair of pinchers to cut the wires, while hanging to the metal cornice with his left hand. He re- out over the street in the most pre- carious position. His cries for help brought dozens of people to the spot and at first none realized what the trouble was. Some one turned in a fire alarm. The prompt action of Harry An- derson and James Gay probably sa'v- ed his life. They rushed up and pull- ed him to the roof but not before the victim was badly burned across the chest, and Mr. Anderson him- self, was given a bad shock, First aid was rendered and the patient is reported to be doing nice- 1y.

Tomorrow another new business will be established in Kingston when Branigan's Drug Store, 268 Princess street, next to the Strand Theatre and in the premises formerly occupied by the Public Utilities, will open its i doors to the public. It is a fine store, seventy-six feet in length and of ample width and com- bining .all the most modern ideas in drug store layout. The front shop is a picture. The visitor is first greeted by splendid windows, fashioned in the Richard Hudnut color scheme of or- ange, cerise and blush pink, which scheme is carried all through the store with touches here and there and at- tractive pedestals with ' clusters of small roses and other attractive flow- ers. Beautiful plate glass show cases, with finishings of" solid quarter cut oak and wall cases and fixtures of the same wood, line the sides and at the rear the latest idea, the combination show case and wall fixture, completes the circuit, with a telephone booth handily situated in a quiet corner and finished to harmonize with the gener- al scheme. The walls are done in tasty grey and white marbled tone with a border of blue and gold and the ceilings in plain white to give the bright and clean air which at once strikes the visitor. A large clock with a quarter-cut oak fin. ish and a white dome light with hand- painted flowers in pink, are touches which add to the arrangement. Another modern touch is the large dispensary, almost as large as the main store, with its splendid equipment, double sinks, etc, and its roomy pri- vate office in one corner. Still further back is the warehouse, equally as large, and fitted with a staff bathroom which is the equal of that in a private home and with a large freight entrance connecting with the side driveway.
