3 FIRE
ALARMS

The fire company had plenty to do
Saturday night. Sunday and this morn
ing. cleaning up after three runs that
they had to make within a space of
"a hours. AT midnight Saturday night
they were called out to save a water
closet at the rear of the old square
building at the corner of First and
Richardson avenue, owned by A. NJ
Robertson. This was done and when
the dirt had been cleaned up, the de-
partment was called out again at 8: 10
Sunday evening. This time the fire
was in water closet near the corner
OF Alameda street and South Pecos
avenue. The property of r. D. Bell.
BY this time it began to look like
some one was giving the department
exercise by setting fire to out ibuild-
ings. The second closet was allowed
to burn, the department watching that
no other buildings caught aflre.
The third fire was the most impor
tant of all The alarm was sent by
Lucius Dills from his residence on
North Pennsylvania avenue at 4.20 this
morning. It was the house of D. L..
Geyer, occupied by Felix Armstrong,
that was afire, the building being
frame and finished inside with cloth
and paper. Mr.. DiHs timed the depart
ment and 1T was just Az minutes from
the time he sent the alarm until the
boys had stream of water on the
blaze; and 1t was not long until the
fire was out. But the whole interior
OF the house was burned. and it is
thought the structure will have to be
torn down. Mr.. Armstrong had been
UP an ho0r or more earlier and had
lighted lamp. It is supposed he
dropped the match and in this way ac-
set fire to the house. He
had $3.50 insurance on his furniture
and Mr.. Geyer had his loss covered.
Mr.. Armstrong saved nothing and
barely escaped the flames in his night
clothes. There were houses within
six feet on either side Of the building |
and although the flames were reaching |
half way across the street when the
departm ent arrived, they saved all the |
adjoining property.

CHAPTER VII.

Very sad was Maude when she heard
the evil tidings, and that she had but a
short time left to look upon the grand
old chestnuts, the groves of laurel, and
the soft, pleasant, turfy vistas amid which
she had been born. Bitterly she thought
how the loss Of all the accustomed sur
roundings would be felt by the gentle
mother she adored and we'll she divined
what would be her fathers sensations
when, having left the home of his anccs-
tors, he should find himself exposed to the
monotonous existence of some watering
place or dull continental town! How he
would brood over the extinction of the
Denisons of Glinn none realized more
fully than Maude. She knew her father
thoroughly; she was clever girl, and
fully recognized his foibles and weak
nesses. She comprehended the shock il
would be to his family pride-what the
loss Of country pursuits would be to him :.
what 1t would be to find himself a mere

quiet place where gossip was rife, and
your social status was pretty nearly
gauged by the bills incurred at the butch

the girl thought, sorrowfully, how little
she could do to alleviate all this. To
her mother--ah! yes, she could do much
to tighten her troubles, and be a comfort
to her; but for her father, nothing-and
the tears trickled through Maude's long
ashes as she thought how little she could
be to him.
Such, 80 far, were the results of the
Vaccinations of that experienced fisher

Does Smoking Cause Cancerf

There Is nothing peculiar to the
smoke of tobacco having the power of
causing cancer. There Is nothing In
the smoke Of any burning material
which as smoke possesses such power.
When smoking tobacco causes an ulcer
on the tongue or elsewhere in the
mouth-an ulcer that many describe
as cancer-it is because the smoke is
hot, or heavily laden with steam.
The hotter the smoke or the more
steam 1t contains the greater is Its
tendency to bring about liberation.
But comparatively cool and dry smoke
may prove highly Irritating If the pipe,
cigar or cigarette is held between the
lips in one position. 80 that the smoke
impinges on one spot. 1t is this spot
which under such conditions will ul-
cerate.
Another common offender Is a Jagged
mouthpiece to pipe or holder But II
Is as unreasonable to blame tobacco
for the injury wrought by such
mouthpiece as it would be to condemn
the meat because the kitchen range was
out Of order. The tobacco most hot In
the smoking is the very mild, light-col-
ored variety. When tobacco has been
heavily watered 1t gives off steam, and
there can be small wonder that the
steam makes n sore,
Another fact worthy of attention Is
that many so-called cases of cancer are
merely cases of common liberation.
