though the name is similair the item has no reference to our earl toole deputy reeve of whitchurch which is reported thus putting his car battery under his bed for the winter mr earl toole living on the old altman farm on the blind line on the southern out skirts of walkerton was sleeping in the shirt ot a contented man until thursday evening last when in moving about in the bed soon after retiring the springs went down and the wires striking the battery caused a short circut that set up a fire and soon had he straw tick ablaze like the dying sinner who on getting a peep into the place of torment de clared that all was bright ahead so earl on being aroused from his dreams and seeing the illumination might well have suspected that he was headed for perdition especially as the heat started to play about his vitals like old nick was stirring up the embers with his trident with out watting to determine whether it was here or the hereafter he bounc ed out like phoenix from the flames just as the mattress went up in smoke being alone he had to move lively to prevent the place being re duced to an ash heap for there was a hot time in the old home that night as the world is destined to be destroyed by fire and there is no certainty where the conflagration is going to break out even a battery under a bed may be the means chosen to set off the spark for the final illumination so people should be careful about starting something that may baffle all the firemens as sociations and prove to be the sen sational sizzle predicted by the an cient seers died at
