OVERCOME BY GAS.
Mahen Family Had Narrow Escape
 Three Persons Unconscious.

Frank Mahen was in a more favor able condition at his home at the cor ner of Bullock and Water streets on Tuesday and will probably recover from an experience which nearly cost him and members of his family their lives, when a gas main in Elm street is supposed to have sprung a leak and the deadly fumes found their way through the ground and into his house. nearly asphyxiated those sleeping there. MT. Maheu suffered the most seriously, though Mrs. Maheu and their son John were rendered uncon- scious. John was the first to discover the deadly presence of the gas, but on attempting to reach his parents he fell to the floor unconscious. Louise, who sleeps downstairs, was awakened by the commotion and rushing upstairs to where her parents and brother slept relieved the condition endangering their lives by throwing open windows and permitting the gas to escape. Aid was summoned and a physician called. MT. Maheu'S condition was considered critical for time, but it is expected that he will recover.
 There are no gas pipes in the MaIleu house and 1t is believed that the gas escaped from the mains, worked its way through the ground and into the walls of U dwelling and then to the upper floor through the spaces between the partitions.

men who, like Jehu, know how to drive furiously. It was Jehu's intense eager ness, his relentless speed, his push and dash that won Israel over to Jehovah and destroyed the power of the enemy. And do you know it takes that sort of vim to win out in almost any race in life? The slow moving coach of a hun dred years ago will not meet the re- quirements of the twentieth century, and the horse is fast being relegated to a place of forgetfulness by the speeding automobile.
 This world of ours is looking for high power men, men with go to them -men who can drive like Jehu and keep right side up."
