FIRE DRIVES TO DEATH
Caneasses Of Wild Animals Choke n
Lake In Washington State.


In special dispatch from Tacoma.
Wash, not long ago. the strange story
was told Of lake in Clarke county
that was choked with the bodies of
wild animals driven into it by fierce
forest fires. L. E. Duval. a timber
cruiser for the Northern Pacific rail-
road. tells the followinR story about
it in the San Francisco Bulletin:
THE lake is only about one acre
in extent, and l have frequently WIS.,
tied the place before. When passing
near the spot several days ago l no
ticed peculiar smell, and turned
aside to make an investigation. I
found the surface of the lake one mass
of deer, foxes, bea~s. wolves and all
the small varieties of animals that
roam in our woods. The lake Is in a
deep hollow between the hills, and the
fire had encircled it at great dis
tance in the first place, crowding to.
ward the lake by degrees and at las.
driving every living animal that had
made its home in the woods for miles
around into the lake. to be slowly
roasted to death before the fierce heat.
The whole surface of the water
was covered with carcasses, and how
many deep they were l had no means
of knowing. From the remains of
otner animals near by | surmise that
some tried to escape through the cir.
Gle of death. | have heard that in
such supreme moments the fiercest
animals forget their ferocity. Some
thing like that must have occurred
here, for bears, deer. wolves, mink and
squirrels were Unfortunately min
gled in the mass Probably the only
struggle was for lodgment on the
backs of the already dead animals

FISH WAS BADLY FOOLED.
Uncle Eph Was Ready for 6usiness
Thouoh His Ewes Were Shut.

Uncle Ephraim had tished in the
little river from boyhood. In his old
age the habit overmastered him, and
he fished on, daily, Notwithstanding
there We're. by popular consent, nc
more fish left in the stream.
Eph would bait his hook and throw
1t in, attend to the business in hand
for little while, and then go to
sleep. He would sleep hours at time
and sometimes all day, holding on to
his fishing pole from mere force OF
muscular habit
One day, while he was sitting thus,
perfectly unconscious of what was
the stream from some mysterious hid
ing place, grabbed the hook with raw
enous vigor, and started to sweep on
down with the whole outfit.
But the jerk, the swish, the commo-
ton. aroused Eph's muscles to a kim.
ened from his slumber. The muscles
gave a great jerk and landed the silu-
roid way back, twenty-five or thirty
feet from the bank.
Eph awoke. looked around, saw it
struggling and Hopping toward the
river. got up, rubbed his eyes in
sleepy bewilderment, grabbed the fish,
and. while securing him by slipping a
little willow through his gills. gave
him bit of salutary advice:

For his brave heart always ready to

For his soul unmovcd by the mob's

For his freeborn spirit that drew no

Come, workers: here was a teacher
and the lesson he taught was coed:
There are no classes of races. but one
human brotherhood.
There are no creeds to be outlawcd.
no colors of skin dobarred,
Mankind Is one In its rights and

by his life he taught, by his death we

The right to be free, and the hope to
