A Close Call,

In the wee small hours OF Monday

q man working a. hard as he ever
did In all his life. The man is George
Blanck and the incident was rs fol-
lows: About 3 o'clock Monday morn
Ing George arose, a. Is his usual Gus
tom, TO shake up the fire and keep
the house warm for the benefit OF the
house plants, Of which Mrs. Blanck
has an unusually fine collection. No
soons had he given the stove the fret
yank than it tumbled over, and with
the usual contrariness of insnimate
things the door flew open and spilled
the entire bed Of live Goals on the car
pet. Flames instantly burst forth,
accompanied by q smoke so dense rs
to be almost sitting. There was only
one bucket Of water at hand. which,
when thrown on the fire, served only
to raise a cloud Of ashes and steam
and render the atmosphere still more
suffocating. There was plenty of
snow outside, but George was In ex-
ceedingly light marching order and
the thermometer several degrees be-
low zero. Feeling that the house was
gone beyond the hope of salvation, he
turned his attention to getting his
wife and babies out and 1t was lucky
he did. for on attempting to 20 up
stairs after his children he found the
stairs blazing up msrrIly and In q few
seconds more oil means OF communica.
ton with the upper floor would have
been cut of. The timely application
Of q blanket smothered this flame and
Mrs. Blanok and the children were
hastily equipped for the outer air, and
George again turned his attention to
the fire, which to bis surprise had not
made very rapid progress. Blankets
and more water soon quenched IL, and
the danger was over, but not till
George had thoroughly exhausted
himself and been scared as badly as he
ever expects to be again. The dam
