On Saturday night urold friend,
Henry Eyer Gaugler, came near los
ing his little home by fire. He was
just in the act of readinghis bibIebe-
fore retiring for the night, when by
some means or other the lamp fell
to the floor, was broken and the oil
began to burn. Mr.. SIP. Burns ar
rived on the scene and tried to smoth-
er the flame with a pillow, while at
the same time Henry was causingthe
oil to spread and burn more tiercely
by throwing on water. Chauncey
A. Kelley passing that way, saw the
blaze and ran into the room and as
sisted to outen the fire by means of a
piece Of carpet. Had this relief not
come to Henry's aid there's not much
doubt but that the house would have
burned down while he himself would
most likely have been seriously, il
not fatally, burned.- Tribune. & y
