PRESENCE OF MIND.
illustrated in a Queer Manner During q
Milwaukee Fire.

uAWdakCo EhO.
For years the most Venerated OBJ
iect in certain household has been
a small tin box that was kept under
the window seat in the family living
room. Interest attached to it, says
the Milwaukee Sentinel, because it
was known to contain valuable papers
and one by one the members of the
family, duly sworn to secrecy as to
the hiding place of the box, have been
instructed that in cese of fire, what
ever else might be left behind, that
box must be saved. 0nsweeping days
it was always carefully removed from
its corner before the room was turned
over to the housemaid, and it was
never replaced in the presence of a
servant, so fearful was everyone that
something might happen to it. One
day the gasoline stove in the kitchen
exploded and there was great confu-
sion. The fire department dashed
upon the scene, the children and
servants screamed in chorus, but the
wife and mother kept her head. At
the first alarm she went to the win
dow scat, pulled aside the Bagdad rug
that covered it and picked up the box.
All through the excitement that fol-
lowed she went about with the pre-
cious box safe under her arm, direct
ing the Gremen, quieting the children
and congratulating herself upon the
presence of mind she displayed. When
her husband, hurriedly summoned
from his place of business, arrived to
find the fire out but the house dis
mantled, his wife met him at the
door.
"We've had IA fire, dear, and it
was awful" she sObbed. "But | didn't
forget the tin box. | got it the very
first thing, and / haven't let it out
of my hands since. It's such relief
to know that one can be really calm
and collected in the face of great dan
ger, and I-I"-then she broke down
completely.
'But where is the bOz2" asked her
husband.
The woman who had not lost her
presence Of mind held it out to him,
1t was the tin receptacle Of the car
pet sweeper.
