known friend. And all the details OF
life on the lonely island, the finding
of footprints in the sand, the anxious
looking for sail on the horizon, and
the final rescue, are actually lived
through by all readers, young and
old.
The story has been translated into
French, Dutch, German, Spanish,
and many other languages. The
Arabs are said to be especially fond
of it. All sorts of editions, big and
little, plain and handsome, have been
published, but the end of the popu-
larity of Robinson Crusoe" seems as
remote as ever.
Who wrote "Robinson Crusoe"'
In the ancient parish of st. Giles,
Cripplegate, London, where Milton
lies buried, there was born to an hon.
est butcher and his wife, in the year
1861, little child who was called
Daniel Foe, afterwards written Defce.
The Foes were humble, faithful peo-
ple, devout Christians and conscien-
tious parents.
The little Daniel was required to
study the Scriptures, and, a fear be-
ing abroad in the land that the Bible
would be de stroyed, the boy set him.
self to make a complete copy of the
Scriptures, but gave it up, tired out,
at the end of the Pentateuch.
The academy at Newington Green,
to which he was sent in his fourteenth
year to study for the ministry, was in
charge of very interesting teacher,
Mr.. Charles Morton, who took
especial pains to drill his pupils in
the use of good English. Defoe
seems to have been very happy at
the academy. He was quick. eager
scholar, lively, merry, "a bad hater,
gentle-hearted, but unusually pug
nacious." Among his best friends
was handsome young Timothy Cru
soc, who afterwards became min
lister, but his chief title to fame comes
through the use of his name for the
hero of his friends great story.
On leaving school Defce had no
mind to go into the ministry, fearing
that he could not be sufficiently in
dependent in the pulpit. And SO we
find him established in the hosiery
business for several years, but living
a very eager, restless, interesting life,
going deeply into all political and
religious discussions of the day, TAX
ing up cudgels in behalf of any cause
or person that seemed to need de-
tense, publishing political pamphlets
by the score, editing newspapers,
and, of course, getting into trouble
over and over again.
Six different sovereigns came to the
throne in Defoe's lifetime. Oliver
Cromwell had died shortly before
Defoe was born. Then came Charles
H., followed by James IL. Then
William and Mary were invited over
to help the island kingdom out of its
difficulties, and later Queen Anne
and two Georges. We find Defoe
riding in the guard of honor at the
coming of Queen Mary, and invited to
assist in laying out Kensington Gar
dens, for all his life he was great
lover of flowers. But he was far
enough from being a general court
favorite, and his fearless pen brought
him once to Newgate prison. And

Mrs. Mary Rider had a narrow es-
cape from being burned to death yes
terday afternoon In the little Sx9 kitch
en- in the rear of a house on Front
street, near Oak. Madam Rider was
washing out dress In a dishpan full
of gasoline. The nearest fire was in the
stove and that was across the room,
perhaps five feet away. She had just
wrung out the dress and started out the
door when an explosion occurred, and
flame filled the room. The woman was
fortunately near the door and ran
screaming to another room, where
there was a man who at once gave the
fire alarm.
The department responded quickly,
and reached the scene in time to con-
fine the fire to the kitchen. The stream
of water knocked over the stove and
made a great hubbub among the pots
and pans for few minutes.
Madam Mary was all this while
screaming with terror and believed
herself fatally burned. but was finally
Gained sufficiently to chuck her head
in flour barrel and plaster flour over
the burned district on her arms. and
as soon as the fresh skin can grow will
be well again. 1t will be some days be-
fore she regains her eyebrows, but
Mary knows how to fix that with some
French pencil. Had the door not been
handy it is doubtful If the woman
would have been able ITO escape. The
four walls and ceiling of the little room
are charred black. The explosion was
caused by the infiammable gas which
was given off in the evaporation of the
gasoline, coming in contact with the
fire in the stove. 1t is absolutely dan
gerous to use gasoline or bezine In any
room where there is an open flame, a
fact which Mary will remember wheth-
er others do so or not.
The building is owned by George
Parrott. Had the fire been given 10
minutes Roadway it would have de-
stroyed several adjoining structures be-
fore it could have been checked, with
the best of luck.

ment has preserved this block six or
