Sunday morning that destroyed the

Bob was a Scotch collie dog, the

of the school. 1t was he who aroused

through the building giving the alarm.
When Mr.. Lawrence was awakened the

and he was almost SUBJECTED
He started down the stairs. calling
to Bob to follow. Bob went to the
foot Of the stairs, where he heard fire
men battering against the door and
saw great red streaks of fire eating
their way towards the door. For a
that has always characterized him.
The beating of the axes against the
door and the roaring of the flames
threw him into d panic of fear. He ig-
nored all commands of his master and
rushed back up the stairs. He tried to
hide and found his way into a room,
the door of which was OPEN Then a
gust of wind or a stream of water is
supposed to have shut the door ana
Bob was imprisoned.
His cries of fear and pain could be

friends than any dog in Portland.

STANDARD OIL KING Is SAID TO
BE AFTER THE PRESi-

He Says He Has the Money and Be-

NEW YORK. Oct. 19.-The Journal
editOrially says:
I'VE will tell you an interesting Sc
cret about Mr.. Rockefeller-it hasn't
been told before. If you doubt it's ac-
curacy you can ask Stone of Missouri,
or half dozen other influential demo-
Gratis who were in charge of the party
when Rockefeller tried to get himself
nominated on the democratic ticket for
president.
1T seems preposterous and unbe-
lievable, yet it is a fact. that John D.
Rockefeller, only a few years ago, as
pired to be president of the United
States. (. i 81 sssF
He approached the democratic
leaders and asked them if there was
any reason why he should not be con-
sidered available as democratic
candidate.
He said in substance this: L have
all the money 1 want-which is a
good deal. | possess a certain amount
of executive ability. l understand or
ganization and l know how to make
it worth mems while to do what l tell
them to do. The ability which has
done so we'll for me l think might do
we'll for the country. if the country
will give me what I want I should like
to be nominated for president by the
democratic party. In return l will
give to the democratic party my or
ganiZing capacity and the convincing
influence OF my financial resources
Mr.. Rockefeller was told by the
astonished democratic leaders that the
first flaw in his availability FOR the
democratic nomination would be the
fact that he would not get any votes.

and very wise, thereupOn gave up the
idea, at least for the time and went
on with his curious, aimless chess

and unused power through compound

bulletin issued by the Chicago health
department. The statistics Of the hav-
oc which the disease plays with nu-
man lives show that it's harvest is be-
coming larger every year, and that In
1908, ST. per cent. more fatalities than
from all other infections and conta-
gious diseases were caused by it.
Cerebro- spinal fever. erysipelas,
diphtheria and kindred diseases COM
bined did not make a heavy inrOad
into the ranks of the population. The
prominent place which pneumonia
has of late years taken among the
causes of deaths is not only perma-
nent. but increasing every year, says
the bulletin. This is due partly to a
steadily growing number of cases, and
partly to the manner in which the
other malignant diseases are success
fully cOmbated by the medical profess
sion and the manner in which pneu-
monia to a great extent defies all Gu

riod is 1875 per cent.
