300 FIRE FIGHT
 PEERISEIE'L)

The flames which have been sweep ing the Camas Valley for two days are also reported checked after do- ing immense damage.
 Aside from the great loss of life, suffering of the survivors and de- struction of the city of Wallace, the
 most disastrous feature of the entire
 fire Is the havoc wrought along the Railroad. The lines between Mon tana and Washington are practically
 wrecked and it will be weeks before the damage can be repaired.
 The great danger of this situation lies in the fact that it is impossible for the railroads to reach hundreds of refugees in the fire zone. Several thousand of these persons have suc- ceeded in making their way to points on the railroads where service is still
 maintained and are pouring into
 Spokane, Butte and Helena and Mis- soula on every train. All of them are in pitiable condition.
 A company of negro soldiers which arrived at Borax Saturday from Camp Sparata,Wyo., and were plung- ed into the fire zone, have not since been heard from. A relief train hur- ried into BoraX yesterday to locate the troops but it has not reported. Although the situation is improv- ed, a number of places are imperill- ed. These include mining camps CnrOuSnOuI Ine ICanO ScEnanQle ana small lake resort in eastern Wash | ington.
 The fear is expressed that the fire | fighters will not be able to controi l the flames in the Panhandle and
 that this section is doomed unless Q heavy rain comes soon.
 ! Reports from all sections today show that the United States in the l fire section are doing valiant work | but they number about only one- tenth of the force that is needed. Washington, Aug. 23.-Three com panies of infantry were today order 1 ed by Major General Wood, chief of staff, to proceed to the Tahoe Ma tional Forest, California, in response to an appeal from the District For ester, to assist in fighting forest fires. This is the first call from California and aroused considerable appFehen- ] sion among officials here

DOG SCENTS LIGHTNING

OXFORD, Pa. June 21.-A dog
that apparently can scent lightning
is the proudest possession of How
ard Griffith of Lower Oxford town
ship. and the knowledge of the
dogs peculiar gift is the only con-
ISOLATION which Griffith has for the
loss of eight cows which were
struck and killed the other after
noon.
The dog is collie that has been
trained to watch the cows and
bring them in at night. 1t is his
custom to remain with them all
day. Nine of the cows gathered
under a tree in the field and the
dog was with them, when the fam
lily heard him give strange howl
and start down the lane as fast as
he could run. A few seconds after
ward bolt of lightning struck the
tree, killing eight of the nine cows
and knocking the other one down.
The dog crawled under the barn
and refused to come out for some
time. Every one is at a loss to ex-
plain the strange premonitiOn,
which undoubtedly saved the ami
mails life.

Fables of Convention
". THE GIRL WHO WORE NO RAT.

This is a brief tale about a girl
who wouldn't-wear a rat.
She wouldn't wear a rat because
she thought they made a girl look
horrid. 1t wasn't because she
couldn't afford one. o, mercy, no!
On the floor of the wagon shed at
home there was enough waste hair
and Irish moss from old buggy cush-
ions to make. hundred rats. She
could hate had innumerable rats if
she had So desired. Her not wear
ing a rat was a matter of principle.
She came down from the country
and got Job in a department store
at $3.50 a week. She thought that
good pay, for start. Presently she
thought differently. She rented a
6x8 room for $3.50, leaving two dol.
lars for her meals and her clothing,
ana such washing as couldn't be
paAed on the mirror. No room here
to tell how she divided this sum.
Figure it out yourself.
She didn't get along very we'll
Other girls, who were drawing but
little more pay than she, dressed
vastly better than she could afford
to dress, and often ate 80 cent table
d'hOte dinners. Even those who
were not living at home could be re-
splendant on four or five dollars a
week. Sometimes the men about
the store, floorwalkers and the like,
would take such girls out to dinner.
She wondered about these things.
She asked Susie about it. Susie
onf Nrew five dollars, yet she had
nearseal coat.
Susie laughed in her throaty con-
tralto.
Get wise" she said. Then she
leaned over and advised, confiden-
TALLY: do up your hair different,
kid. eGt some style to you"
The girl from the country pom
dered this cryptic advice and when,
after while, its meaning dawned
upon her. she was a little shocked
and she blushed the merest ghost Of
blush. She was too tired and dis
pirited to be much shocked and too
hungry and bloodless to blush
much.
But she vowed she would get no
rat, and next day she defiantly
cooled her braids little tighter
than usual
'Let ems laugh" she said 81
don't care, hate 'em, anyway"
When the holiday rush was over,
the manager, seeing that she gave
no evidence of blossoming into any
thing more attractive than the
dowdy country girl she was at first,
nay. had even lost the pretty color
that had won place for her then.
marked her as one of the first to go.
