A family Christmas tree was held at
tho residence, of Robert Frost hist Fri
day night, but it camo near being a
costly treo to them. The tree had been
trimmed witli cotton and the presents
till hung on it, and Resale started to
light a lamp on the organ near the tree,
when tho cotton on the tree caught lite
and in an instant the treo was ablaze
Mr. Frost was out in the yard a short
distance from the house, and hearing
the alarm he ran in, atoopod down aud
grabbed tho block in which he tree
stood and ran out doors with it. In a
few minutes the cotton had burned off
and the fire went out. There were a
number of nice handkerchiefs on the
tree and these were all burned, but the
majority of the other presents were
not injured, as the strings by which
tho presents were hung on the treo
burned and let them fall to the floor
The carpet was set on fire in two or
three places, and some of tho presents
that had bin n on tho trow were laid on
tho bed and after awhile were seen to
he on fire. Comparatively little dam
age was done, however, and later on
the treo was brought back in, the pi ess
euts hung on, and tho family had their
Christmas tree after all, with thankful
Hearts that so little damage was done.
