RESCUED
Father Tossed Them Out Of
Burning House and Capacs
Caught Them.

The fire which occurred on Grape
street at 4 o'clock this morning. and in
which an Italian tenement was con-
siderably damaged. was the scene Of a
thrilling rescue of three little children.
The flames and smoke had cut off
escape from a second-story tenement,
and in one OF the bedrooms were the
three children of Marcilla Garcia
Just under the bedroom window stood
shed. to the roof OF which Giovanni
Capace leaped. and bracing himself,
called TO Garcia TO pass the children to
him.
The distance was too great to be
covered that way, so Capace directed
Garcia TO toss the children to him.
This Garcia did, one at a time, and
when he had made sure Of their safety
he also leaped TO the shed and escaped
the death by suffocation which seemed
In store for all In the house.

Dear old Cumberland, we leaye thea
While our hearts are sore with mains
For, within thy sacred precincts.
we VIII never meet again
God has blessed us most abundant.
NOW, ] know he'll understand
Why we love the dear old church eo,
Why we love old Cumberland.
We have had the precious Gospel
Preached to us with fervor grand.
Men of eloquence and wisdom.
Ambassadors for Christ, thew stand.
All the dearest joys we've known
Were within It's sacred walls:
There the bread of life was broken.
Freely offered up for all.
There we've offered up the children.
Little ones we brought to thee
While on earth the Saviour blessed
them:
Said: Suffer them to come to me-.
Many sainted ones have gone Horna
FROM our ranks-in Heaven they
sing
And we gaze in awe. and wonder
Almost hear-their Angel wings.
May we be us vestal Virgins;
Keep our altar fires bright. Z
And our white robes ever spotless,
Serving God by day and night!
Give TO us goodly portion
OF thy light, that we may stand;
May Gods glory be about us
AS we leave old Cumberland
