sides provisions, groceries, clothing. bedding
and lumber, of which Minneapolis gave over
SO, 900 cash and more than her proportion of
provisions, groceries, clothing, bedding, and
twelve car loads of lumber, besides sending an
able corps of physicians and nurses to care for
the wounded and dying A few incidents of
this great calamity and we will turn to more
cheerful subject Little Lulu Carpenter. about

through the body by piece of board torn from
the house. A short time before she died, she
said to her mother, ''But mamma, l saved the
baby" thus giving her life that her little baby
brother might live. Other remarkable instances
