Heroic Annie Bender.

Annie Bender, The Is year.old
daughter of Mrs. Margaret Bender,
0f st. Clair ST.. did an act "Wednesday y
afternoon that was worthy of a strong
and courageous man, and may there.
by have saved two lives.
Some tune Wednesday afternoon
flames was noticed on the roof oil
Claus Stetfens's house 142 H0dg, ave.
NeighhOrs rushed hastily over to
alarm box 24S. but the department
WAS hindered by the awful rond-
from reaching the house promptly.
In IA bed on the second floor Of the
house. directly uLder the blazing
roof. lay Mrs. Steffpns and her 2.day,
old infant. Several women rushed
up stairs TO carry Mrs. Steffens and
her baby out. hut II physician. WIN
had just arrived, forbade it. He said
the fire was not spreading rapidly,
and The fire department would prob.
ably reach the house In II moment.
The minutes went rapidly by and
the engines did not come.
Then Miss Bender resolved to act.
She piared the lad,ler against the
caves. seiz'l an axe, and climed tC
the roof. With a score of blows she
chopped away the shingles from
around the flames, which had then
spread but few inches from the
chimney. Size worked with all her
might and main and soon had all the
Inf ummable material cut away.
While she was thus engaged two
other young women stood by Mrs
Setfrn>'s bedside aud determined t.
remain there until it hecanIe evident
that the house would hurn, Wher
they would carry her down stairs.
Just as Miss Bender finished hel
work, Hook and Ladder Cumpany 6
from the new fire station ON Windsor
ave-, came, the wheels covered with
mud aud the horses fDaming and per-
spring from their hard pull through
the hnrrihle streets. A few minutes
work with the exlingui'herS put OuI
thu fire with no very great loss.
Mis- Btnder's brave act no doubt
prevented Il serious destruction O
property, II not. indt ell, the loss 0
two helpless lives just beneath the
roOf.- World.

Tne cause of This commOtion was
not very large. Only little thing,
nut aS queer a combination as crawls.
II does crawl, too. f,r it was nothing
more nor less than II crab the young
men were gazing at. But such n crab
Tue bOly was not quite an inch long,
hut The body was what told the tale.
II b ire II perfect impression of the
face of n Chinese coOlie; a verjtable
mis-lNg link, with eyes and nose and

to jcer at ore, and the impish look 1t
sent out was quite enough to send a
vir,im of alcoholism up a tree.
Tue specimen is a contribution of
Arthur E. Rider. and is known as
the III ike Kali, or tare crab. There
are immense numbers of these crawl
ing irnps In: the iuIand sea of japan,
and the Mining Bureaus specimen
came from there. FrOm out of the
"chin" of the crab grow two arms
on either SD, while 1t has two legs

ri her side of the fice, seemingly
growing out If the back of the head.
