HAD A NOVEL POINT OF VIEW.

The young man was either an OPP
timist or the possessor or a Harveyised
steel armor plated nerve. Perhaps he
was a little OF both.
A short time ago he came to the con-
clusion that he would like to insure his
life. With this object in view he made
application to a prominent company.
After filling up the necessary form he
received an invitation to call upon the
medical officer Of the company and un-
dergo an examination. In due course
he presented himself at the Office Of
the examining physician.
Requesting the young man to remove
his coat and vest, the doctor produced
q. stethoseope and began his examina-
ton. All at mi he stopped and re-
garded the candidate with an express
sion of alarm.
Young man." he said, "do you
think you can bear a shock?"
"Oh. I think So" was the cheerful
response. Fire away ard let me hear
the worst"
You have only one lungi" announced
the doctor, solemnly.
well, what of that?'' retorted the
candidate, with the utmost composure.

THE DEADLY OIL CAN.
Mrs. j. Clarke Dead and Her Hus-
band and Little Daughter Will
Probably Die


DU BOTS. Pa. December 13-As a re-
J. Clarke, OF Walston, is dead, her hus-
band is lying at the point Of death at the
Adrian hospital and a little daughter is
seriously burned, and if she does recover,
will be SCARED for life. The hone of the
il-fated family took fire and was complete
ly destroyed. Mrs. Clarke entered the kit
chen about 2 o'clock this afternoon, having
been engaged in housework in another part
of the house. The fire in the stove seemed
to be out. She got the oil and commenced
to pour oil on some wood she had put in
the stove. There was an explosion which
scattered the burning Oil all over the apart
ment, setting fire to the room in many
different places. Mrs. Clarke and her little
daughter, who was playing around while
her mother was busy at work, were both
deluged with the burning fluid The
screams of the woman and child brought
Mr.. Clarke from another part of the house
and in his efforts to stamp out the flames
that enveloped his wife and child, his
clothes caught fire. BY the use of water
and blankets by the crowd of n~eighbors
who had assembled, the flames were ex-
tinguished from the persons of the three
unfortunates, but not until the woman was
burned in a horrible manner. In some
places the flesh was completely charred
and burned from the bones. She died
within two hours. Mr. Clarke and the
child were removed to the hospital, and
although the condition of both is con-
sidered dangerous. the doctors have hopes
Of the recovery of the child.
