At the end of a few years Davis had
a great many thousand names listed.
He classified the names alphabetically
and by occupatiOn-and the occupa-
tons covered a wide range. If man
fell off a church steeple and broke
his neck. Davis could look at his list
and find the address of six or seven
steeplejacks who could tell him eX

from a high place Or If the story
was about a stolen violin, Davis was
certain TO know a violinmaker who
could supply a lot of technical infor-

One of the best news beats Davis
ever landed in Frisco was through the
cooperation of a street car acQuaIn-
lance who had charge of the furnace
and gas plant at Lucky Baldwin s
hotel. Davis is ashamed now OF the
unethical means he employed and
says he would fire any reporter in his
employ who brought in a good story
by any such method. He will be veXed
when this reference TO it is brought
to his attention. but the thing is too
illustrative of the value Of acquain-
lance to omit.
big state republican convention
was in progress and Davis knew that
the platform was to be drawn up in
a certain room at the Baldwin hotel
by the governor of the state. Re
porters for the various Frisco papers
were 10 be admitted TO the room and
all would be allowed TO see the plat
form when it was completed Davis
did not like the idea of having SO
many reporters know the contents of
the platform. He wanted it eXclu-
sively for his own paper. SO he went
to his friend. the gas man. and asked
him if he would mind turning off
the gas in the hotel at exactly
o'clock that night.
I'll turn 'er off and then turn 'er
on again and put everybody n the
hotel to sleep if you want me to,
offered the gas man, who had become
greatly attached to Davis.
THE only trouble in turning II off
in the entire hotel" says Davis. IS
that the gas in the pipes will last a
few minutes and the flame VIII die
down too slowly. Now if you could
turn it off in the part of the building
where this room is"
III turn it off right in that one
room" volunteered the man.
He went ahead and made a fake
investigation after a leak and put d
little jigger in the pipe just outside
the room, so that ne could Cdrn il off
at a signal from Davis.
That night when il was apparent
that the governor had about COM
pleted the state platform, Davis gave
his signal TO his friend outside. and
the room was in total darkness. Davis
reached over, grabbed up the sheets
containing the platform and went his
way. There were no other copies
and his paper carried ii exclusively
the next morning.

THE MESSENGER.
BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Dg "hCNASA
Copyright, 1914. by Star Film Coz
She rose up in the early dawn,
And white and silently she moved
About the house. Four men had gone
To battle for the land they loved,
And she, the mother and the wife,
Waited for tidings for the strife.
How still the house seemed! and her
tread
Was like the footsteps of the dead.
The long day passed; the dark night
came,
She had not seen human face,
Some voice spoke suddenly her name.
How loud IL echoed in that place,
Where, day on day, no sound was
heard
But her own footsteps. Bring you
word,"
She cried to whom she could not see,
Word from the battle-plain to me?
A soldier entered at the door,
And stood within the dim freight:
"I bring you tidings of the four"
He said, who leGt you for the hight"
God bess you, friend" she cried,
speak on!
For 1 can bear it. One is gomez"
"Ay, one is gone;" he said. Which
one?"
Dear lady, he, your eldest son."
A deeply pallor shot across
Her withered face; she did not
weep.
She said; 1t is grievous loss,
But God gives His beloved sleep.
What of the living-of the three?
And when can they come back to
me?"
The soldier turned away his head:
Lady, your husband, too, is dead"
Shelput her hand upon her brow;
A wild, sharp pain was in her eyes,
my husband! Oh, God help me now!''
The soldier heard her shuddering
sighs.
Your youngest son, dear madam,
fought
Close at his fathers side; both fell
Dead, by the bursting of a she'll"
She moved her lips ane seemed to
moan.
Her face had paled to ashen gray:
"Then one is left me-one alone"
She said, "of four who marched
away.
oh. overruling, All-wise God,
How can L pass beneath Thy rod!"
The soldier walked across the floor,
Paused at the window, at the door,
Wiped the cold dew-drops from his
cheek
And sought the mourner's side
again.
"Once more, dear lady, 1 must speak:
Your last remaining son was slain
Just at the closing of the fight.
Twas he who sent me here tonight"
"God knows" the man said afterward,
1.-THE fight itself was not SO hard"

FIRES THREATENING
PEN MAR SECTION
Buildings and Timber Burned and
Many Summer Cottages
in Danger
Special 10 The Telegrabh

Waynesboro, Pa, Nov. Gone of
the most destructive fires ever visiting
this section of the Blue Ridge Mcun-
Quirank. abotu mile from Pen Mar
Park. on Wednesday afternoon and
has been raging ever since.
Several hundred acres of timber
land has been burned over and while
many cottages in the wake of the fire
have escaped destruction q number of
small buildings have been burned.
Yesterday afternoon the wind shifted
the course of the fire and the flames
ate their way toward Pen-Mar Park.
At the intersection of the Blue
Mountain House and High Rock roads
the flames sprang across the road into
the yard of the cottage belonging to
Mrs. Ella Finch, of Baltimore. and 1t
took a hard battle on the part of sew
eral hundred volunteer fire fighters
before the fire was turned from the
building.
The flames then, leaping high into
the air, spread at a rapid rate among
the high timber and the cracking of
the leaves and wood was similar to
roaring furnace.
AT 5 o'clock a telephone message
was sent to Waynesboro for all the
owners of cottages in the Pen-Mar
section to come to the mountain at
once, as their property was in danger
of destruction by the fire. and several
trolley loads answered the call, while
dozens of automobiles went to the
scene.
Near the Mrs. Finch cottage build
ing formerly occupied by Harry Leshel
caught fire and was reduced to ashes
in few minutes.
The fire last night burned fiercely
and, although there was a force of
over 500 persons fighting it, they were
powerless to subdue the flames on
account of their being famed by stiff
wind.
Yesterday afternoon seven fires on
the mountain could be seen at one
time-five in the Blue Ridge near Pen
Mar Park and Quirank, and two in
South Mountain, near Tomstown, just
north of Waynesboro.
If the wind continues as it has been
for the past forty-eight hours there
isn't any doubt but that thousands
of acres of valuable timber will be
destroyed, together with hundreds of
partridges, pheasants, rabbits and
squirrels, along with a number of deer.
