tempt to get out of the harbor before
everything possible was done to save
the people.
The men on board had planned to
take charge of the steamer. Captain
Myers was asked what he intended to
do and his reply was dramatic.
This boat Is owned by Edward
Hines, the Chicago lumberman. He told
me that human life was always to be
valued above property and was to
save lives at all cost. am going to
stay at the dock until there is no
escape for any"
The boat remained at the dock as
long as possible. Even then three
hundred screaming women and chill
dren we're left beyond reach. Just as
the boat was pulling on Stephen
Duval came rushing through the
flames carrying his Ss-year-old father
on his back. All efforts to get him
aboard were futile and he was forced
to 60 back through the flames to a
fate which can only be guessed.
Peter McPhail leaped ashore to cut
the lines and did HIS work with the
flames leaping up on all sides. He
escaped In small sail boat.

People Dash To Lake for Refuge e

-Alpena and Cheboyesn Are

Death List Placed at 100 BY Some,
But This Figure Is Believed
Excessive.

LANSING, Mich., July t2.-
This morning request was r.
ceived from A. w. Black. Of East
Tawas, prosecuting attorney, Of
losco county, for 500 tents, cots
and supplies TO be used for those
rendered homeless by forest fires.
Arrangements are being made 70
ship the needed supplies at once.
sAuLT STE. MARIE, Mich,
July 12.--0ov. Osborn declared this
morning that he had already asked
for an Inquiry into the fires st
oseoda and Az Sable. He cxpress-
ed sympathy at the news Of the
catastrophe and added that the

ALPENA, Mich, July 12.--The loss
OF life at Oscoda and Au Sable. which
were practically destroyed by forest
fires last night, Is estimated at be-
tween 25 and 100, but complete re-
view OF the situation indicates that
II will not exceed the lower figure.
When daylight dawned today many
bodies were found In the streets, the
victims having been smothered and
roasted by the on-rushing smoke and
danes.
Rescue parties were sent to other
sections where the flames had threar
ened towns and farm houses. but late
reports indicate the situation 10 under
control.
The catastrophe at Oscoda and An
Sable has rendered nearly $500 peo-
pie homeless. Most Of them undoubt-
edly will drift to other places because
Il is improbable that the two cities
will be rebuilt at once.
The fire loss In Alpena is estimated
at 100000. The following places
were destroyed: Moench q Sons tan
merry. Frank Christians cedar mill and
the residences of DR.. A. Wilkinson and
Leonard Gohle. The homes OF H. @.
Eddy, Warren Penniman and Fred
Buck were damaged.
Millersburg was nearly destroyed
by the flames. The Richardson Lum-
ber Co., OF Alpena. lost 2.5o0. 900 feet
OF logs at that place.
There are not a dozen houses stand
ing In Au Sable today. Among the
homes that were DESTROYED was the
residence of Congressman Loud. Only
one house Is left In Oscoda, the mills.
fine residences and business blocks
have been reduced to. ashes.

rEcUMSEH'S MISSING BUST.
Tho Reason II Was Taken From Its
Nicha m this Canifoi

Tho Reason II Was Taken From Its
Niche In this Capitol.
"Where is the bust of Tecumseh
that used TO be In a niche on the SEN
ate side of the capitol?" Richard Liv-
ingston, student of American his
tory, asked recently.
II know that years ago there was
fine bronze bust of an Indian, and the
name Tecumseh was on the pedestal,
and as Tecumseh was about the most
famous Indian chief Of our school his
tory books every American boy took
more interest In surveying his fea-
lures than In hooking over the faces of
eminent white men in the big build
ing I walked all over the building
and saw Indians enough In paintings
and statuary, also some live ones, but
no Tecumseh. Then ] hunted up my
congressman, and he went through n
toned the guides. They had not
heard of Tecumseh bust, and most
of them asked, What state was the
senator from?'
II was about to give 1t up. Then a
somber sort of chap with n silk hat
and red flower in his buttonhole re-
ieved my anxiety. He explained
what had not thought Of before, and
that was the fact that Tecumseh was
killed In battle wearing the uniform
of British general. He died fight
ing the American flag. Why should
he be honored with bust in the cap
itol?
And then | was told that the Te-
cumseh bust really had been In the
capitol for many years until one day a
wise senator, familiar with the history
Of his country, made n protest. That
sent the Tecumseh bust TO the cellar
or to some ihusersI here IN town.

His Punishment.

A homely, hard featured, elderly tenn
perance speaker of the feminine per-
suasion, in the course of lecture be-
fore somewhat mixed audience,
found occasion to say:
Friends, as passed along the street
at an early hour this morning saw
lying In a drunken stupor, amid the
ooze and slime of the gutter, a poor,
fallen, besotted fellow being. No good
Samaritan came his way; the passers-
by hurried on with merely a curious
glance and then left him to his shame.
But as paused beside him as he lay
the thought came to me that. fallen as
he was. that man had perhaps wife,
q mother, a sister, who loved him. So
kneeling, brushed aside the stains
from his face and smoothed the matted
hair back from his brow and, dear
friends, kissed him."
Thereupon from the rear of the audi
torium came the sympathetic comment
Of an interested hearer, "And yol
served him Just rightr'-Harper's.

An Economical Dish.

An economical and nutritious dish

or steak may be made with dried
beans as the foundation. Red beans
should be used. After they have
soaked over night, drain them, and
tie them loosely into a napkin or
piece of cheesecloth. Have ready
half pound Of lean beef for cupfnl
OF the beans. Chop this fine and
brown it in hot kettle. Then turn
in four cupfuls OF cold water, bring to

in the kettle and turn the beans into
1t. Stir in a heaping tablespoonful of
butter and serve them in the centre Of
