sting of one little wasp came near re-
sulting in the death of Howard Doug
las. OF Pine-st.. who Is now congratu-

The attack took place while Douglas
was making an inspection OF an or
chard on his fathers farm a few miles
outside OF the city limits. While gaz-
ing at some fruit on one of the trees
little wasp gently alighted on his
eye lid and before he really knew
what. happened the insect had stung
him.
Before five minutes had elapsed the
entire side of his face had swelled to
an enormous size. The swollen soon
extended to his head and the remain
der of his body. A physician was i'm
mediately summoned and for hours
he worked over his body In the en-
deavor to check the poison. After
lingering for some time at the point
of death, Douglas was revived sufiici-
emily TO be out of danger.

amounting TO insanity. Then for ib
years he ceased to speak. Neither
doctor. chaplain or warden could get
a word out of him.
The other day he was told he was
free. He looked at those who brought
the news in astonishment. Then he
burst into tears at thought of leaving
prison.

beautiful girls In the country, where
he had a large farm. He found she

LEAKY GAS PIPE DOES
ITS OWN REPAIRING
Heat From Flame Melts An Over
head Lead Jacket, Drippings From
Which PIuu the Hole.


KANSAS CITY, Aug. 5,-This re-
lates to a fire in a basement occu-
pied jointly by the Economy Furni-
ture company, No. S13 Main-st.. and
a pawnshop owned by G. A. Eteyens
at No. 813 IL Main-st. A lead jack
eted pipe runs through the floor OF
the pawnshop to a steam radiator
above A space near the pipe was
left when the plumbing was done. Dr.
rectly below the hole Is a gas pipe.
Now, at exactly two minutes OF III
o'clock In the morning, George A.
Stevens. Jr., who clerks in the pawn
shop, dropped lighted cigarette
through this hole At the same sec
ond the gas discovered small leak
in the pipe and ventured out. The
cigarette set fire to the gas and In a
few moments a little blue flame was
scorching the floor Of the pawnehop.
BY the time several fire companies
arrived the fire was extinguished and
the gas pipe leaked no more. ~.
Now, here's the explanation. The
flame had melted the lead jacket
about the steam pipe, the lead had
dripped down on the gas pipe and the
leak was plugged.
All the same 1t was playing 1t low
down on plumbers and gasfitters.
