REASONS FOR PREvENr1oN

Just what the terrors of 8 real forest fro are only a few people know, and it Is fortunate that no more are exposed to it's rsvages- Those who look off on distant hillside and see the woods ahre, or those who drive along the roadside and note the chzrred remains of what was once fine stand of lurn- ber-making trees get no conce ption of what full f1edged forest fire is or what it means to those who happen tc be in it's path. Woodland fires in this region are lRtle more than hcnfires compared with those that roar through great forests. Anyone who happens to suffer by the visitation of such fires knows that t means loss which na one welcomes. but there are regions where not only isolated homes but whole towns and the lives of many peo- ple are wiped out because it is impossi- ble to check the fameS, turn them aside or get out of ,he way.
 Such is revealed by the tragedies that have been enacted at different points along the Canadian border It :s a terrible story that comes from On tSIio where flames jumped clearing; quite as if they we. highway, flames reached out and consumed vessel: which were in the middle Of . small take, families were broken up, fleeing tor protection and two score or more were burned to death in their inability 10 get away.

Little though could be given to the saving of proper ty. It was a case of saving life.

 'He said had cold in my head and told me to take hot bath and go to he'd" said Imogene in injured tones. "vYhat wouldn't give to be rich enough to have had him shake his head seriously and frown and say, of course. Palm

WHERE APPEAL IS USELESS
Ancients Seem to Have Had the Right
Idea in Their Attitude Toward
Inevitable Death.

What happens to us when we dleE
What does it feel like to pass out oil
this earthly life and enter the I'M
known beyond?
An interesting answer comes from
group Of psychologists. Their obSerya-
lions are that, In the dying hour, the
sense OF smell is the first to fail.
Then, In order, the dying person loses
taste, sight, touch, hearing.
Thus the five senses pass. Outward
". death seems to have taken place.
But how about the sixth sense-con-
seriousness? Many medical men be-
lieve the brain is conscious, sometimes,
as long as 20 minutes after the five
senses are gone.
Everyone has heard of people who
had visions of angels, music and a
food of bright light, in the moment
of passing from the material world
Why fear death? Life is only
Journey, death only change. The
ancients contemplated death without
fear, and met it with Indifference.
They accepted it as inevitable, hence
never raised affairs to 1t as they did to
things that might change--misfortune
fever, volcanic eruptions or the god
Of rain.

use in appealing to death, the Great

AS 1t Sounded to Him.

Shirley Brooks, one of the most brill
liant Englishmen of his time, assocl-
ated with Thackeray and the famous
Mark Lemon in the editorial manage
ment of Punch, had n mind filled with
poetry and he often wrote admirable
verses himself. But he had no knoWl-
edge of or love for music. Nevertheless
in his role as reporter for some Lon
don newspaper Brooks one time had
been called upon to write of concert
critically. He wondered how he was
going to get away with it, and this
is how he did it:
cover the deep abyss of bnss there
fioated, like a poised lark, tsilyery
cloud of treble, amid which the shrill
tremolo of the higher strings seemed
quiveringly to glitter like the arrows
of a sunshaft through the mist Of early
morning"

WITH HER SOLDIER HUSBAND
wife Of General Grant Accompanied
Him on SIls Campaigns Whenever
IL Was PosaibIs.

Like Penelope Of old, JulIs Dent
Grant was welded to soldier named
Ulysses. Also like Penelope, her bus
hand 1ourneyed around the world. But
there tie resemblance ceases Mrs
Grant herself is quoted by historians
as saying:
Having learned lesson from my
predecessor, Penelope, I accompanied
my Ulysses In his wanderings around
the world"
Julia Dent Grant was born In st.
Louis, the daughter Of Frederick Dent
a prominent man Of that city, says the
Detroit News AT the age Of eighteen,
shortly after she had completed her
studies ut an exclusive school, the
charming girl met Ulysses Simpson
Grant then only lieutenant. He was
stationed at Jefferson barracks In ~.
Louis. 1t was not long before the
young people were deeply in love. Az
Ter the war with Mexico they were
married.
Like that of most wives Of soldiers,
Mrs. Grants life was one Of constant
moving about, until she fell Ill, and
was not able TO accompany her hus-
band TO California, WHITTIER he had
been ordered. She spent two years at
the home of her parents and at the
end Of this time Captain Grant re-
signed from the army, that he might
he near her.
The Civil war brought him back into
the service and 1t was during this time
that Julia Grant revealed her brave
and hardy spirit. She was with her
husband whenever 1t was possible, aud
spent all of her time On or near the
scene az action.
She saw him twice inaugurated
