Indispencable. Three camels presented themselves at the dock where the ark was tied up, whereas but two animals of a kind had been called for.' “One of you fellows- will have .to step aside!” shouted Noah very per- emptorily. But the three ships of the desert smiled knowingly. “I,” said the first of them, “am the camel which shall pass through the eye of a needle sooner than a rich man shall enter the kingdom of heaven.” " said the second, “am the camel which so many people swallow while straining at a gnat.” “And 1. said the third and last “am the camel whose back was bro- ken by the last straw.” Whereupon Noah, perceiving that posterity could ill spare any of these and would be lost for illustrations without them, ciously made an ex- ception in their favor.—Puck.

CINCINNATI FIHE L0SS $2,0 000 008 Entire Block in Factory Dis- | trict Destroyed. TWO PERSONS ARE KILLED Fireman Meets Death Under Collaps- ing Wall and an Eighteen-Year-Old Boy Is Crushed by Falling Trolley Pole—High Wind Aids"in Spreéading || Flames Despite 'Desperate Work of 'y & Fire Fighters. Cincinnati, Dec. 22. —Flre in the fac- tory district here‘_xesulted in ‘the death of two persons, the injuring of several firemen and property loss estimated at $2,000,000. One of the dead is Fire- man Robert D. Grear, who was crushed beneath a falling wall. The other is Walter Morris, eighteen years old, who was fatally hurt by a falling trol- ley pole. Buildings comprising an en- tire block were consumed. The block from Ninth and Syeca- more streets to Broadway was swept by the flames. The firms burned out are: Krippendorf & O'Neal Shoe com- pany, Taylor-Poole Leather company, Cahill Shoe company, Twinlock com- pany, Sycamore Street Stable com- pany’s barn, Griess-Pfleiger Leather company, Victor Safe and Lock com- pany, warehouse of the A. & J. Nurre company, picture frames and holdings; E. O. Duncan paper box factory and the Wildberg box factory. The fire, it is believed, started in the engine room of the plant of the Krippendorf & O’Neal company. Hard- ly had the fire been discovered when the flames leaped from almost every | window from cellar to roof. Fight to Save Adjoining Property. When the fire apparatus arrived it was seen that the shoe factory was doomed and the firemen turned to the work of trying to save adjoining buildings. They practically surround- ed the fire with water, but it had too great a start and, aided by the wind, it continued to spread from building to building. While the fire was at its height a wall of the Krippendorf building fell and buried Robert Grear. His body was recovered. Four other firemen, Humphries, Geiger, Morgan and Cap- tain Tinley, were also caught by the falling wall and all severely injured. Shortly afterwards the list of in- jured firemen was added to by the names of Luhn and Hall. Luhn was at work in a stable in the rear of the Griess-Pfleiger company when he stepped into a hatchway and fell two stories, breaking several ribs and suf- fering other injuries. Hardly had these two men been taken to the hospital when an iron electric light pole, 200 feet from the apparent danger zone of the fire, top- pled over and crushed Morris. He died on the way to the hospital. WRECKED IN RECENT STORM Two Boats Sink With Loss of Nine Persons.
