up third time and entered a bedroom
on the second floor, where he discov-
cred the third child, who also proved
to be beyond all aid
Quinton had taken lamp on his
first journey, but the smoke was so
dense that it was extinguished and he
brought all the children away by
cropping about on his hands and knees
on the floor in the darkness and
choking smoke.
A search showed that some clothes
in cupboard in the first floor bed
room were smoldering, but beyond
charming the cupboard door the fire
did no other damage. Only one child
was put to bed in the first floor room,
but, as two were discovered there it
is surmised that one must have come
down from the top story, taken a
match to the cupboard to get some
books and in this way brought about
the tragedy.
The jury returned a verdict of death
from suffocation. The coroner highly
commended Quinton for his heroic eff
forts. They were proud. he said, to
know that such a man was living in
their midst.

Bandaging the Hands.

The bandage is adjusted after the
wound has been thoroughly washed
with an antiseptic For the thumb or
fingers several folds are first made
ar the wrist The roll is held in the
right hand and put on SO that the side
of the bandage which has been toward
the roll is now outside.
For an injured thumb the bandage
is started at the WRIST, wound twice
around snugly but not tight enough to
arrest circulation, ana then upward
around the thumb, where it is twisted
to make 1t fit better.
The process of applying bandage
is a very neat piece of work in itself.
Giving it a single turn naturally
makes it narrower at that point, so
should there be curve to encircie,
as rounding the joint of the thurnv, -
single turn will enable the bandage
to be pulled tighter.
Here we see the advantage of the
bandage being rolled with the whole
she may pull it tight and twist it
easily as the position of the wound re-
quires.
When the fingers are injured, eac;,
finger requiring attention should be
wrapped separately, that the inrection
may not spread and furthermore to be
more convenient to use.
IN Treating the Arm and Leg.
Should the wounds be on the fore
arm, the first turn at the wrist must
be made very tight, SO that the whole
may be kept in place. After good
start is made the bandage is deftly
turned producing what is professional
1y called the ascending spiral and
vice versa, a descending spiral" as
for example, from the shoulder to ell
bow for treating a wound on the up
per arm.
InlS nail turning or the DdnudSe
adjusts itself perfectly to the contour
of the arm or leg. AS performed by
a physician in attendance during the
holidays of large department store,
the work seemed child's play under
bis expert fingers. But a layman is
quite sure to make a failure of it
without some experience, and some
natural aptitude for such things.
When the wound is on the leg, the

Every home nurse should have at
her command at least a superficial
knowledge of bandaging, for she is
very sure to be called upon for her
services every little while, especially
where there are children.
No one, of course, would expect her
20 be wholly versed in this skilled art,
,cr this requires comprehensive study,
such as only a physician or trained
nurse would require. There are GER
tain phases of this important work,
srch as shoulder bandaging, called
VeIpeau, that not every physician can
accomplish with any degree of finesse,
hut one must take their chance in this
case
1t is a pretty piece of work indeed
to see a skillfully handled bandage, the
more complex the better In the hands
of an expert the work is undertaken
with apparent ease, the dexterous
turns and twists following each other
closely and laying so evenly ana
smoothly, especially the ascending
and descending" spiral, that imitation
seems quite simple, but the test proves
quite the reverse.
Every household should have sever
al rolls of antiseptic bandages, one
measuring about an inch in width and
q larger size from two to three inches
placed in a closed glass jar and kept
fastened until wanted. A little box of
medicated cotton, five or ten-cent
size. is also desirable and is employed
to wash out the wound and to be
placed over the wound as well.
Besides these essentials. an antisep-
tic wash for cuts and burns should
be at hand in the medicine chest, re-
served in corner, so that when want
ed quickly, the whole closet need not
be dismantled only to discover the
desired medicine the farthest back,
which is usually the case
For this purpose strong solution of
bichlorate. a tablet to cup of
water; or peroxide of hydrogen are
Good cleansers, and arrest the progress
made by any germs when the wound
is infected.
For burns one of the best specifics
is the old fashioned carron oil, which

of this should be at hand and labeled.

either in the republican caucus, call
ed for Wednesday night, or on the
floor of the house when the matter
comes to a final vote.
The democrats say they will resen,
any attempt to turn down their sell
ections and large number of insur-
gent republicans say they will support

a right to make it's own committee

divided on the proposition, and indi-
cations are that many insurgents will
refrain from attending the republican
caucus as they do not wish to be
bound by the result.

whip, put in large part of today cir

Within a day or two after the affi-

urgent letter from the widow which
read something like this:

entirely unbiased point of view it looks
as though she had "queered" both her
insurance claim and her pension.

LADS BATTLE FOR
LIFE WITH EAGLE
ELDER BOY SAVES BROTHER
FROM BIRDS TALONS
Fight Takes Place as Youngsters Are
Returning Home from
School at Oak
Glen

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 1.-At-
tackled by huge American eagle this
afternoon at Oak Glen, little Mart
Corneilson was saved from possible
death by the prompt work of his elder
brother, Jarrett, who knocked the bird
down with a stone. The brave lads
action undoubtedly interviewed between
his brother and at least severe In
juries, as the eagle made every dem
onstration of hostility.
The two little Corneilson boys were
returning home from school and were
within a short distance of their faith
ers house when the big bird, with
talons extended, swooped down upon
them. It's attack was directed toward
Mart, but Jarrett was equal to the
emergency and, on realizing his broth
er's danger, knocked the bird down
with a well directed throw. The rock
struck the eagle in the head, stunning
it, and before it could arise again the
bows pounded it to death with other
stones and sticks.
The bird was an unusually handsome
and powerful specimen, measuring
over seven feet from tip to tip of its
wings. Jarrett, the lad who performed
the David-like feat on this Goliath Of
the air, is years old, and to his well
directed shot his brother Mart owes
his safety.

.21.-Fifteen men, three of them Ameri-
cans, were killed today by a prema-

from the Ashokan dam, in the Cat

Five men were terribly mutilated,
but were so near the mouth of the tun-
ney they were rescued alive. The 9TH

of rock and debris. literally hammered
by the force of the explosion into a
bleeding mass of heads, limbs and
torsos.
1t is believed a workman, carrying
a torch, tripped and fell, igniting a
fuse and set off a series of charges of
the explosive.
The squad Of twenty men involved in
the accident, having drilled the holes
and placed the explosive, were leaving
the excavation when the explosion oc-
curred. A hundred laborers rushed to
the tunnel mouth and, after dragging
forth the injured, set to work clearing
away the rock and earth to get at the
dead.
AS the nitro glycerin had been pur-
nosely set to shatter rock, it did not
damage the tunnel, more than the
contractors had planned, and after two
hours the bodies were reached.
