RATS START A FIRE.
Bucket Brigade Was Quickly Formed
and Extinguished 1t.

The returning rats are responsible
for a fire early this morning, which,
but for timely discovery might have
been a serious and a disastrous one.
About o'clock this morning fire
broke out in the rear of the building
owned by w. c. Achi on King street
nearly opposite Lillha, the building in
controversy in the suit against Achi in
the District Court yesterday for viola
tlon of the Board of Health regula-
tions. The fire broke out in a place
used as the store house of one of the
Japanese merchants who does business
in the building. Among the other goods
was one of the matches. This the
rats got at and gnawed till they ignit-
ed them setting fire to the place. The
fire was discovered by a Chinese wo-
man who slept in the next room and
was awakened by the smell of the
burning sulphur. She gave the alarm,
and a bucket brigade was quickly or
ganized under the direction of George
Sea and the fire extinguished.

PROVIDE AGAINST WANT.

Life insurance is the only way that
man of moderate means can secure
his family against want through In
Vestment of the slender sum he can
set aside for that purpose. Many a man
cannot save a thousand dollars; but he
can pay a premium on a thousand dol
lar policy. Every husband and father
should have his life insured in strong
company like the Provident Savings
