John Terrier Lived Through Fire Imprisoned for Days in Wine Cellar of San Francisco Hotel URING the early hours of Thursday morn- ing, April 19, while the flames were licking up everything inflammable within the walls of the Hotel St. Francisa,a little fox terrier remained locked up in the wine cellar of the hotel, deserted and forgotten by the attachés of the hotel when they were forced at midnight to abandon the doomed structure. When the beautiful and costly building on Union Square became a blackened ruin and the conflagration was fight- ing its way toward the Western Addition, the litle fox terrier still lived, unharmed, though terror stricken from the tortures to which it must have been subjected. But with the dying out of the flames that con- sumed everything within the four walls of the building, troubles were by no means at an end. James Hall, who had charge of the wine cellar of the hotel, was the owner of the little animal, and he remembered, while the hotel was still a seething furnace, that the dog was locked in the cellar. Though powerless to rescue it, he lost no time in getting back to the hotel after the fire to dis- cover the dog's fate. But he could not get near the wine cellar. For days afterward the ruins were so hot that all thought of probing about in the ruins was out of the question. Five days later Hall succeeded in getting into the wine cellar, and one of the first things to greet his startled gaze was the little fox terrier crouched beneath some machinery. The heat in the wine cellar must have been intense, but the little ani- mal had managed to escape the flames and came out of the ordeal unsinged, although nearly dead from thirst and hunger. With tender care Hall nursed the dog back to Rood health and spirits, and not many days after his rescue he was as cheerful and lively as before the fire. —San Francisco Chronicle. save the little fox terrier, the dog’s | Up-to-Date Auto Jargon NTENDING purchasers of automobiles are frequently more mystified than instructed by the explanations of salesmen, but New York’s automobile row has one salesman who carefully avoids technicalities. Said he to a prospective customer: “You see, when the piston comes up and com- presses a lump of gas a spark jumps in and touches it off and the engine gives a poke, which tums the erankshaft around. Then the piston comes back and chases out the bumed gas and takes in a fresh charge as it goes back; then it comes up and the load getsa spark and the piston is blown back and the crankshaft gets another poke just as before, Every time a spark is let in the engine gets a poke and gives it to the crank- shaft, you see. It’s perfectly simple and simply perfect.” —New York Sun. To the Poorhouse N GERARDY, the well-known ’cellist, at a dinner in Philadelphia praised American wit. “You are all witty,” he said. ‘‘From your mil- lionaire down to your gamin you are quick, nimble and sparkling in retort. “Your gamins’ wit is sometimes cruel. It caused a friend of mine to flush and mutter an oath one day in New York. “My friend, in a hurry to catch a train, ran out of his hotel to catch a cab, and a ragged little boy opened the cab door for him and handed him his valise. “He gave the boy nothing. In his hurry, you see, he forgot. “The disappointed urchin smiled sourly and called out this order to the driver: “Nearest poorhouse, cabby.’”—New York * Tribune. ALL S.
