What to Do in Case of a Fire.

The first thing to be done, when you
hear the fire alarm or otherwise receive
information of conhagration, is to take
a long, deep breath and yell, "Firen
with as much force as possible. Then
get your hat and run out i'll the street go
ing as fast as you can towards the engine
house.
Ask the first person you meet where
the FIRE is, and as you pass Others yell
Fire" in their ears with all the force of
your vocal organs.
1t is absolutely necessary TO continue
this yelling as long as there is any fire,
because it strengthens the weak-hearted
and puts more courage into the brave. ~
Having reached the engine-house, if
it is possible, you should get the bellcord
and ring the bell until someone makes
you stop. Then 90 and help the fire
man, by dumping some coal i'll the en-
CINE and piling some kindling and waste
on top, lighting the waste and wonder
ing why the fire goes out. The fireman
coming along will ask you you use to-
bacco, ard if you do, how you light a
pipe. Then he will make you undo that
which you ought not to have done, and
tell you to mind your own affairs.
The next thing to do is to go to the
scene of the fire, and, if you see smoke
coming out of the chimney, run up the
stairs into one of the rooms and begin
the work of rescue.
By this time others Will be on hand
and by their aid you can begin work.
First wrap the chairs, rugs and cushions
in the bed-clothing and if a rope is
handy, let them out of a window, if not
throw them out.
Throw all books, pictures. vases and
such things on the ground; it may be
best to throw the bedsprings out first so
as to lessen the shock when they strike
the earth
Pull up the carpet, roll it in a bundle
and rush downstairs with IL, ana II any
one is in your road run over him because
he has no business standing idly around.
You can see that the fire is gaining
and the engine is just getting started, SO
something desperate must be done.
There is an AK which gives you an idea;
seize it and smash all the neighboring
fences into kindling, so as to keep the
fire from spreading.
BY this time the furniture will be res
cucd, perhaps not exactly in your man
ner, and you wonder what you can do
The best thing for you to do is to 90 home,
but that does not exactly suit your char
acter, so you stand around until the
house burns down or the fire is put out,
then you go home and give an account
of the heroic deeds done by you in the
recent conAagration.

Made S25, 100000 in a Night.

Standard oil stock went up to q446
a share in New York on Saturday.
Thus when John D. Rockefeller awoke
that morning he found that he was
worth $25,O 100000 more than he had
gone to sleep with.
This is the biggest jump in the his
tory of stock which has always adj
vanced or declined in hugh strides.
When the huge SNOWFALL of Rookie.
feller's alleged present fortune of
$2OOOOO,OOO rolls down the years,
gathering as it goes, the wealth of
former Midases will appear as mere
competencies. Mr.. Rockefeller is now
80 years old.
The present estimate Of his wealth
is S2OO,OOO,OOO. His annual income
is estimated at $l2,OOOOO0. This is
81, 100000 a month, S4l ,O05 day,
S1,l75 an hour, sos 81 a minute, As
cents a second. And this is for every
second in the year. Making due al
lowances for his expenditures, if bis
income continues at the present rate
of interest, with interest added to prin,
cipal, and the rate of revenue main
tanning itself, in the year 1918 Mr.
Rockefeller will be worth $5OO,OOO,'
900. And Mr.. Rockefeller may moi
die in 1918 at that.
The rise was generally attributed t.
the fact that any corporation which
pays quarterly dividends of 10 pei
cent and continues to regularly pay
at the rate of 40 per cent per annun
is looked upon by spectators as vel
worth SAG.

Bull Against Tiger"

In the Spanish capital few days
ago. before one thousand three hum
bred well-pleased spectators, there was
combat between royal Bengal tiger
and an Andalusian fighting bull, the
tiger being a full-grown animal, known
for its ferocity. A cage seventeen
yards square by four in height had
been erected in the middle Of the plaza,
and the animals were brought in, the
bull being the first to be released into
the enclosure. He Immediately be-
gan to run round and round his prison,
believing and throwing up sand and
gravel with his hoofs. The instant the
tiger entered the cage the great cat
gave a roar and bounded on the BULL
avoiding the horns, and fixed on his
TANKS and belly with both teeth and
claws.
The bull remained paralyzed for
few seconds, and then seemed to be
sinking backward to the ground. The
tiger, however, loosened its grip for
second to take another hold, and IN
the brief interval was hurled to earth
by the wild plunges of the bull. Be
fore the tiger had time to recover the
bull was on him, and, plunging Its
horns in. the tough hide, tossed the
tiger into the air. This was repeated
four or five times, the bull varying
his tactics occasionally by crushing his
adversary against the bars.
When the bull desisted the tiger lay
limp on the ground, and the crowd
thinking he was dead, cried, Bravo,
toro :" The bull stood stamping tor
a moment in the middle of the cage,
and then, seeing that the tiger did not
move,approached and smelt his enemy
who, however, was only shammlng
death, and seized the bulls muzzle IN
his powerful jaws, so that the latter
could not move.
Eventually, however, the bull was
released, and, after stamping furiously
on the tiger again caught him on his
horns. This time the tossing, stamp
ing and banging apparently really
ended in the tigers death. The cage
was then opened and the bull rushed
ont and back to his stable. For pre-
cautions sake the tigers van was
brought up, and, to the general sur
prise, he rose to his feet, glanced
around as if afraid the bull was still |
there, and then bounded into the van.
The tiger was found to have five ribs
broken, besides having a number OF
wounds from the bulls horns. He is
expected to survive.

DECISION OF CORONER's JURY
Child Came to its Death By Fall
From the Cradle.


Leila Smith, the 11-year old colored
girl who was arrested Saturday morn
ing on the charge of killing the I
months'-old babe of Mary Staples,
colored, was exonerated by the coro-
ner's jury that evening.
The verdict Of the jury was to the
effect that the little one came to it's
death by being rocked out of a cradle,
accidentally, by it's 1 Yedr-old brother.
Leila Smith, told the same story to
the Jury that she related to the re-
portersat the Jail.
DR.. Fuller, the colored physician,
who attended the baby, did not think
child falling out OF a cradle on it's
head would likely produce death,
though it was possible In his exam
nation he found congestion OF the
brain but not fracture of the skull.
DR.. Bynum, who made the post
norton examination, thought death
was produced by either fail or blow.
He was of the opinion that blow on
the head with stick the Ze OF the
one stated by the 4 yearold boy.
would have produced 1ncussion and
made the child unconscious. He also
Thought that a stroke like that could
not have been made without more
external evidence on tue head than
was found.

WASHINGTON. Feb IA If the
wishes and entreatips OF his family

painfully apparent Try interviews and
private statements of Sherman. His
friends and family have urged that
