Assisting at Rescue.
GIRL is BURNED TO DEATH.

Little Mamie Gleason, s years old, with
her clothing ablaze. ran terror stricken into
the arms of her mother. who lay sick in
bed. and both were fatally burned yester-
day morning at their home, No. SIS Wright
street.
The fire spread to the bed clothing. en-
veiopins both mother and %aughter in flame
and soaring their flesh from head to foot.
The girl died three hours later at the City
Hospital. Mrs. Gleason was taken to the
same institution. and the hospital doctors
thought her recovery impossible.
Mrs Louisa Maddox, mother-in-law Of
Mrs. Gleason. in an effort TO save the
child's life. was herself seriously burned
about the face and hands. She carried the
little girl out by the front door Of the home
and rolled her in the snow. Thus she ex-
tinguished the flames, but too late to save
the child's life. Mrs. MaddoX's burns were
dressed by Doctor Claus of Ninth and
Montgomery streets, who says that they
are not serious.
Mrs. Gleason has been dangerously I'll for
a month. but was thought to be GONZALES

Company at the foot OF Dock street, eau
toned her to remain in bed when he left

Mrs: Gleason said yesterday at the hos
pital. Il screamed TO her. She turned and
ran TO me. / tried to put out the fire with
my hands. but then. in a second. the bed

Mrs. Maddox lives just west of John
GleasoD's home. and Charles Gleason,
brother Of John. lives in the adjacent house
on the east. Both Mrs. Maddox and Charles
Gleason heard mother and child scream
ing in their agony. Mrs. Maddox ran to
the front door of the Gleason home. where
she could see the smoke. Shs tried the
door. but found It locked. Then she burst
It in. seized the girl and ran with her to the
street.
Charles Gleason went into the house by
the back way. He carried Mrs. Gleason out
into the yard, where he finally succeeded
IN smothering the flames. Neishbors had
meanwhile been attracted to the scene and
extinguished the fire in the house with a
few buckets of water.

and now what is it," asked Mrs. Bow
ser as Mr.. Bowser came home the other
evening with qua case under his arm
Nothing but a little healthful recrea-
ton Tomorrow" he replied as he care
fully stod the case in a corner.
Have you got gun in there?
II have It's shot gun / borrowed TO

"Of course not. but 1t seems strange

life."

of snipe tomorrow night you'll suppose
something else"
Nothing more was said until after DIN
ner. and then Mrs. Bowsed queried:
..where do you go aftes snipe?'
"Oh. down the marshes" he replied.
But what is a snipe?"
"A snipe? Do you mean to tell me that
YOU have lived to be 40 years old and don't
know what a snipe is? That's the way
with women however. They are so busy
reading novels and gadding around that

and he caught 1t again and chuckled as
he pictured Mrs. Bowsers chagrin when
he arrived home with a wagonload of
birds. He set off bravely and at last
struck marsh. He looked YEARLY
around for snpe. but realized after a
minute that a bird with brains would be
hidden away where the grass was highest
and thickest. There were also horseflies,
blackheads and mosquitoes, and as MIR.
Bowser plowed along they settled on him
Ike dog on a bone and got in their
bites. He had sweat his suspendeds, filled
his shoes with water and torn half the
brim off his straw hat before he got
through the marsh, and the biggest thing
he had scared up was a humble bee. On
the farther side of the marsh he came
across farmer in a potato field, and he
approached him to say:
I'm out after snipe. but I don't think
I've struck the right spot. They hang
around the marshes, don't they?"
They dew replied the farmer. as he
Strengthened up to rest his back. yes
the gaul darned things hang around the
marshes and keep up such chatterin
that you sometimes can't hear yourself

But don't see any around"
That's cause they've gone out to
that marsh to the west. They ailus GO
about this time of day to feed. You Jest
go over there II you want to PUNK 'em by
the million"
Mr.. Bowser's lost exultation returned
to him, and there was a song in his heart
as he climbed the fence and fell In and
out OF ditch and made his way through
water apd toiled along over beds Of dry
grass with all the instincts of a. hunter on
the qui vive. but nothing offered. Some
thing was about to offer he felt sure,
when o humping big bull frog that was
lurking in a damp spot jumped against
him with a smash and at the same instant
a wandering horsefly about as big as a
robin crashed against his ear and tried to
bite II of all at once. When Mr.. Bowser
finally emerged from that marsh. 1t was
to come again upon that same old farmer

two hours in circle.

What kind OF a bird %


well, it's neither a buzzard nor blue
bird. LISTS a snipe 1t flies over
marshes and is good eating. Snipe on
toast Is a dish for a king"
Mr.. Bowser talked very confidently, but
he had never seen "a snipe. alive or dead.
He had read of them and Green had add
ed enough to make him enthusiastic. Mrs.
Bowser wanted to know lots OF other
things about the birds. but he choked her
off In time to save his prestige. He got
to bed early, so as to get an early start.
but his dreams were snipe haunted. Al
midnight he yelled and almost rolled out
OF bed; at 2,o'clock he got up to look out
of the window and listen for the notes OF
birds at o'clock he was up to look at
the weather, and at he dressed and went
down stairs to load his gun. Green was
to be along at I. and Mr.. Bowser had
bottled his breakfast and was waiting at
the gate before that hour. His friend had
some important business pop up and
couldn't go.
..Tben you'll call it off, of course" said
Mrs. Bowser. as she was told of the situa-
ton.
Not at ALL" he replied. Il set this day
TO go AFTER snlpe, anu Siiah 81 SN1s SA'S
same. I'm off in ten minutes"
but I wish you wouldn't" she pleaded.
"You don't know anything about snipe
hunting and you'll be sure
stop right therel" interrupted Mr..
Bowser. 81 go forth to hunt the snipe,
and I'll come home with a basketful or
bust my suspenders. I'm not going to be
embraced by boa constructor or eaten
bp an alligator. Nothing Will happen ex-
cept that wen have snipe on toast for
breakfast-fat, juicy snipc"
And nothing can induce you to stay at
home until same day when Mr.. Green can
go?"
Nothing on this earth. The snipe must
understand that I'm a man who doesn't
let go when I've got my mind made up.
You'd better hold dinner an hour for me,
as / may be little late"
With that he was off with the gun on
his shoulder and three small boys and a
dog trailing behind. At the corner MS
retinue left him, however. and he took an
electric car for the country. He wanted
to get a line on the snipe as soon as pos
sible. and so he asked Information OF the
conductor. The conductor wanted to be
agreeable and aid In building up the su-
burban line, and so he replied that the
snipe were thick just beyond the terminus
and that farmers were killing them with
clubs. He told of one case where SO
many of the birds roasted on rail fence
one night as to level 40 rods of 1t. and OF
another where their flight darkened the
sun for an hour and sent the barnyard
fo~v1s m their roosts Mr. Bowser caught
his breath and felt sorry for poor Green.
