SLEPT WHILE FIRE RAGED
Dr, George Watson, associate osteopath
with Dr. R. F. Parker, attributes his
es-
cape from 1g burned to death it the
great fire Sunday morning, to the fact,
that because of the severity of the weather
his brother-in-law and sister changed their
sleeping n quarter* rti
and were able to give
him warning just in time to permit his
getting safely outof the fast burning build-
ing.
Dr. Parker's quarter's were in the
Schinbein block, but he and Mrs Parker

us al lY slept at the Grand Central Sat-
urday night, rather than go out in the
storm, they decided to remain where they
were Shortly after retiring, there was
the smell of smoke. The doctor arose to
investigate Crossing the hall to hie
office, he could see the glare of fire through
the window. There was no time to waste.
Quickly he and Mrs. Parker partially at-
tired themselves. Warning was given to
others in the block and when the doctor
eanta to Watson's room, he was astounded
to find him in bed sound asleep, while the
smoke was pouring up through the floor.
On being awakened Dr. Watson quickly
took in the situation and wasn't a bit
"fussy" in the selection of his attire.
Dr. Parker and Dr. Watson saved prac,
tically nothing. Mrs. Parker lost nearly
everything. A brother of the first -named,
Dr. F. A. Parker, was out for the evenin g

Included in the loss of Dr R. F. Parker
was a new 8850 player piano, -but as with

but, al.o in the morning and evening, and
thus save the extra expense of having five Jobb

to secure a physician to reduce the frac-
ture, and the unfortunate woman suffered
intense agony, until the arrival of the doc-
tor.-Alildmay Gazette.

BIG HEARTED SCHOLARS
The Methodist Sunday School have
given generously to patriotic and relief
causes this winter. A few weeks ago
Supt. Buchanan asked for a collection
for the Belgian relief and the response was
$53. Two weeks ago they were asked for
to assist the Halifax sufferers and gave
$31, and last week when asked for an
offering for the Armenian relief they gave
$28. Very few, if any, Sunday Schools of
their size can boast of such generous giv-
ings.
Mr. Buchanan may well feel proud to
be the head of such a big hearted Sunday
School. He has been their much beloved
superintendent for the past ten years.
God loveth the cheerful giver.
