services were In progress in the

and the building was filled with the
friends and relatives Of the girl. A
fire broke out three doors from the
church and the first intimation of the
fact was conveyed to the people in the
church by a cry of fire." in the street.
Chicago gatherings are somewhat
nervous at this time on the subject of
fire and 1t needed but tie one shout
to bring all the people to their feet
and many of them started for the door.
Policemen O'keefe and Peterson, who
were stationed in the church, called
out to the people that there was no
danger and urged them to resume their
seats. The advice was UNDECIDED, and
when a cloud of smoke came in
through the open door, and the sight
and smell maddened the people in an
instant. The two officers had barely
time to swing the doors open when the
rush came. This was all that saved
a severe crush and probable loss OF
life, as the crowd plunged through the
doorway. Nobody was injured in the
panic and when it was seen there was
no cause for alarm the people returned
to the church and the services were
finished.

Nelson ana His Midshtpmen.

Nelson always took great interest in
the training of the young middies on
the ships which he commanded and
never failed to be kind and considerable
to them. If he saw any one of them
who was by nature timid he would not
speak harshly to him and so drive out
what little courage the boy had, but
would offer to race him to the mast
head or some such place, and when
they had climbed there he would take
no notice of the middy's fears, If he
showed any. but would smile kindly,
saying. II wonder that any n could
fear to do such an easy thing as you
and l have just DONE" Thus the boy
got over his cowardice and learned to
love his captain, who throughout his
life showed the same consideration foF
those around him.
