ANIMALS CAUGHT BY FIRE
Forest Flames on Glenn Ranch In
California Overlook Thousands OF
Them in Flight.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Thousands OF
dead rabbits, with here and there a
deer caught by the whirl of fame, and
trees full of roasted apples, on the
Glenn ranch, we're among the toll of
the big forest fire that swept from
Cajon to Lytel Creek, according to re-
ports brought here by Supervisor R.
H. Charlton, after almost week spent
in the big woods fighting the fire.
The woods are as dry as finder, and
the flames made rapid Roadway In
spite of the efforts of nearly two hun
dred experienced firefghters, who
were almost worn out by their efforts.
The blaze was confined for the most
part to leaves, needles and small
brush. When it was confined to GER
tain area by the men, the inside of the
fire line was filled with wild game try
ing to get away. The sweep OF the fire
was so quick that in hundreds of in
stances they could not get out OF the
zone of danger.
The rabbits ran in droves to the
center away from the fringe Of the
flames, only to be burned up when the
fire ate it's way into their hiding
places. Several deer, one of them a
big siX-prong buck, ran right into the
hottest blaze.

LAUGHTER WILL COME BACK
World Is Not Always to Stagger on-
der the Overwhelming Desc
lation of the War.

Some people wonder why theaters
are running during the awful world
tragedy which is being enacted In Eu'
rope. The reason why they ought to
run is well stated by John Palmer 4
the Saturday Review:
LET the theater still exist to re-
mind US that the war will pass; that
laughter will come back to the world;
that art will one day be restored;
that we shall not always stand at the
edge of ruin; that 1t is not nee
essary to dwell forever with grave
faces, self-consciously in the shadow
of distress. Thereby we shall help to
keep our country in sane mind and
good heart in these coming days and
destroy in it's cradle the infant as
sumption of our entertainers that one
theme alone is able at this time to
possess us.
This war will never, so long as 1t
lasts, be in a less degree the com
handing fact of our lives. But we
need not, therefore, act like stunned
creatures and play continually with
one fixed idea. We have to keep our
sense of proportion. We must hold on
to our humor and keep 1t bright; and
the theater is going to continue, must
help us in this"

NEAR PAUPER'S LOT
Body of DR.. James Phillips
Claimed by Daughter.
Soldier-Physician and Nephew Of Fora
mer Lord Mayor of London Barely
Escapes Burial in Pot
ter's Field.

New York.-Almost at the last min
ute the body of Dr. James Phillips,
soldier and physician, nephew of an
erstwhile lord mayor of London, and
once wealthy, was rescued from pau
per's grave. He died In the city hos
pital at Blackwell's island.
For days the body had been in the
morgue without inquiry by any one,
and arrangements had been made for
it's burial by charitable society. The
word that saved the body from the
potter's field was sent by daughter,
who gave instructions to have it for
warded to Bridgeport, Conn. She had
not heard from him before in 33 years.
Doctor Phillips was born in London,
and was a nephew of Sir Fordeil Phil
lips, once lord mayor of his native
city, and cousin Of Sir Edward Law
son. When he was in his twenties
the Crimean war began, and he was
among those who went to the front as
a surgeon. When the Civil war start
ed, after his arrival here, he placed
his experience at the service of this
country, and once met President Lin
coin.
After the war ended Doctor Phillips
was stationed for a time with naval
vessels at Norfolk, Va, and later he
was transferred to Washington, d. C.
In Washington he was married. His
wife was the daughter Of General Wal
bridge, but the marriage was followed
by divorce. Subsequently Mrs. Phil
lips remarked. This time her husband
was George B. Corkhill, the district
attorney who obtained the convic-
ton Of Guiteau, the assassin of Presi-
dent Garfield.
After the separation from his wife
Doctor Phillips got out of touch with
his children, though, according to his
friends, he made attempts to commu-
nicate with them again in recent
years. Doctor Phillips was eighty
three years old.

BRITISH MEDALS OF HONOR

We are so frequently confronted in
the newspapers at the present time
with General So-and-So, V. c., or ID.

letters following the name, that 1t
may be of interest to have the key to-
some of the riddles In the English
army there are three principal dec-
orations. The foremost and most COW
eted is the v. G. Victoria Crosse
which either officers or men can att
tain by a deed OF undaunted gallantry
or heroism. The d. S. 0. (Distin-
guished Service Order) Is a distinc-
ton conferred on commissioned off,
GERS who have been mentioned In DIS
patches for especially 1neritorioua
service in the field before the enemy.
The d. G. M, or Distinguished Con-
duct Medal, we hear less of, as It Is
a decoration awarded more to the nom
commissioned ranks. AS in the case
Of the D. s. o., 1t is given for personal
distinction on the fighting line.

man would have been well content to
have John for son-in-law without
asking any questions He knew that
John was cold-shouldered by the King
ston aristocracy, that he was omitted
from invitations to the governors balls
and dinners. But he did not care. John
was a good manager, and Haidee loved
him.
So, four years after Johns arrival,
they became engaged. The marriage
was to take place in a months time.
Then it was that something hap
pened
John Charlton received an invitation
to the ball at the government house.
He stared incredulously at the en-
graved invitation note, for it was the
same governor who had always cold
shouldered him. However, he went.
Perhaps 1t was because he wanted
Haidee to take her rightful place in
Jamaica society; perhaps it was mere.
ly his longing to look upon the faces
of his own kind again. John went,
and when he entered the ballroom and
saw the men of his rank, and the
women in evening dress, his heart
1eaped in his breast. Haidee suddenly
seemed like somebody very distant
and remote from him.
And the governor shook him by the
hand. Afterward John danced. He
danced with English girls, with the
bloom of the moist English summer
still on their cheeks. And then the
governors secretary drew him aside
Charlton he said-John knew the
man officially-"there will be some
more guests later in the evening. A
party has just arrived by the late Eng.
lish steamer / want you to stay and
meet them. The governor wants it,
John assented. His thoughts were
back in his own country, and in his
heart he saw the busy streets of Lon
don, the Row, where he had ridden in
boyhood, the placid countryside and
smooth lawns of his fathers home.

for his mind was still playing that
curious trick, and he was living over
the past with his father again. He re.
membered the old mans affection for
him when he was little boy, how they
had given him
And your bI other is, / am sorry
to say, dead also. He was killed by

Copyright. 1914. by w. G.. Chapman.)
At first John Charlton had eaten
out his heart in loneliness; then, as
the weeks slipped into months, he
grew reconciled to his fate. He could
never hope to return to England. He
had been accused of forging his fathers
name to a check.
His elder brother, the heir to the
estate, was the culprit. His brothers
wife had come to John and pleaded,
with tears in her eyes, that he assume
the guilt. Everybody would suspect
him, she said frankly, because OF his
recklessness and improvidence. There
was a girl-Amy Marin; she had looked
favorably on the young man, and he
had been wildly in love with her. But
then John Charlton was never able
to resist woman's pleading. And
his sister-in-law had taken him at
weak moment. :
The upshot was that John went into
exile. He had pleaded with Amy to
share his lot, and she had laughed
first; then, when he told her that he
was accused of forgery, her pretty
brows contracted and she had indig-
nantly dismissed him.
So John had settled down to farm
ing in Jamaica, with the small sum his
father gave him. John often fancied
the old baronet understood, but, if he
did, he gave no sign He shook hands
with John; and SO they parted in
silence.
That was four years ago, and at first
Johns heart had overflowed with
anguish. Time and again he had been
tempted to write to Amy, explaining
matters to her. But he refrained. And
at last he ceased to think of the past,
except in the desolate hours of mid
night.
Then Haidee came into his life

ways and winning innocence. The old
