down into the mine and obliterat-
ing all life.
There we're 1856 men iE the mines
when the alarm was given yester-
day morning. All except 20 made
their escape through a long under
ground passage to an abandoned en-
try.
Mule Saves Life.
Ben Delibra is the only one of
the 20 known to have escaped so
far. lie credits a mule with saving
his life Delibra said when the fire
broke out. about 200 feet down the
shaft and cut off escape. he threw
himself into the bottom of a mine
car and urged the mule on its way
through the flames. The clothing

by the burning of timber supports

A certain American citizen, 80
years of age, got into the world war
without waiting to be drafted. He
served three years with the Canadian
army in France, was wounded. and
was also badly gassed. like many who
were there in the early days before
the masks were dependable
He was lately discharged. and went
to visit relatives in town in the
northern states. While passing thru
the central part of the city, he was
attacked by gang of toughs, ham
mered into Inconsistencies. and left
on the sidewalk, an inert heap. He
was afterwards picked up by police
man and taken to the station-house
where his injuries were treated.
On returning to consciousness, he
expressed a natural surprise at the
conduct of his assailants. He was

the ideal that we should copy; there
are not many ideal cities. But at all
events. we can find places to classify
as awful warnings. We do, at least
know what to avoid.
