Absence of draft at that poini prevented the fire "rom gaining- head- way. The fire was discovered by Elmer Best, an employee, wiien he returned from having breakfast at his home, next doer. He founo snioeCt- issuinq- from the ceilinp' ar- ound the furnace. He immediately informed Mr. Scarrow, the owner, who resided upstaii-s and an alarm was turned in for the volunteef bri gade. The centre of the trouble was soon discovered and an applicatic of chemical soon brought the fiit under conti-oy. When the brig^d arrived sinoke was issuing from un- der the shingles on the roof and for a few mcmfc'iits it was thought the fire was wide-spread. Mr. Scarrow had installed a mech- a/nical stoker on Saturday and it was thought tliC fire becaime too hot an the heat caust'J the Ve;ini to simoul- er, about a foot of the end of the beam being burned to a crisp.

The gander, rt-atching proceedings, decided that the gnslings w^re not being brought up properly and decided to take a hand. With warnings of the things !ie would do if they did not obey his instructions, he shoved thean with his bill toward the pond and forced them to go in swimming. The experience was more exciting than they e.xpect- ed an they didn't sink either. After a time the gander decided that they had been in the water long enough and w-hen his calls were' unanswered he swam in after the young ones and forctrd them to shore after repeated nudgings.
