Remarkable Intelligence and Heroism of a
Dog.
The large Newfoundland dog
Heck, belonging to the St. Elmo
Hdtel in the oil town of Eldred
Pa., was known throughout the
northern oil field for its great
strength and almost human intel-
ligence. The porter of the hotel
a kind hearted, but intemperate
person, was an especial favorite
with the dog. The porter,
small man slept in a little room
back of the office. The dog slept
in the office. On the night of
Sept. 18, last, the pdtter was
drunk when he'went to bed, and
soon fell into a heavy sleep. Some
time in the night he was awakened
by the loud barking of Heck who
was jumping frantically on the
porter's bed and seizing the pillow
with his teeth. The still drunken
and drowsy porter tried to make
the dog go away, but the animal
persisted in his efforts, and it
finally dawned on the befuddled
mind of the porter that the house
was on firet
His room was full of smoke and
he could hear tho crackling of the
flames. He sprang from the bed
but was still so drunk that he fe
to the floor. The faithful dog at
once seized him by the coat collar
the porter not having removed his
clothing on going to bed, and
dragged him out of the room and
half way to the outer door of the
office, when the man succeeded in
getting to his feet and unlocking
the door staggered into the street
The fire was rapidly spreading
and the hotel was filled with guests
not one of whom had been aroused
but the dog no sooner saw that his
helpless friend was safe than he
dashed back into the house bark-
ing loudly, and ran upstairs.
He first stopped at the door of
his master's room, where he
howled and scratched at the door
until the inmates were made
aware of the danger and hurried
out of the house as there was no
time to lose. The dog gave the
alarm at every door and in some
instances conducted guests down
stairs to the outer door, each one
of these, however, being a strang-
er in the house, which fact the
dog scorned to understand in look-
ing out for their safety. All
about the house seemed to have
lost their heads in the excitement,
and it is said that the hotel dog
alone preserved complete control
of himself, and alone took active
measures to save the inmates of
the house. In and out of the
burning building he kept continu-
ally dashing, piloting some half-
dressed man or woman down stairs
only to at once return in search of
others. Once a lady with a child
in her arms tripped on the stairs
while hurrying out, and fell to the
bottom. The child was thrown
on the floor of the hall some dis-
tance away. The woman regained
her feet, and staggered in a dazed
way out of the door, leaving the
child in the midst of the smoke
that was pouring from the office
door. Ihe brave dog saw the
mishap, and jumping in through
the smoke which was now almost
impassable, and seizing the cnild
by its night clothes carried it
safely out.
Notwithstanding this rescue,
the mishap that made it necossarj
led to the death of the noble ani-
mal. The mother of the child on
being restored to consciousness by
the fresh air, became aware that
the child was not with her, and
crying out wildly that "Anna was
burning up in the house I" made
a dash for the building as if to
rush through the flames to seek
her child. Heck had already
brought the little one out but it
had not yet been restored to its
mother. The dog saw the frantic
rush of tho mother toward the
burning building and heard her
exclamation that some one was
burning up in the house, and al-
though the building was now a
mass of smoke inside and out, the
dog sprang forward and as a doz-
>n hands seized the woman
romthe ins*.
and activity of Hecktht fire in
the hotel would not have been dis-
covered in time for a single in-
mate to have escaped from the
building with his life; and that
the noble animal understood from
the half crazed movements of the
child's mother that there was still
another one in danger, and to res-
cue whom he gave his own life, is
accepted as certain. The remains
of Heck were given a fitting buri-
al, and his loss is regretted as that
of a useful citizen might be.

Wood Flour.
A letter from the Catskills to
the New York Sun says: The
chief industry up here is produc-
ing wood flour, a kind of cousin
o wood pulp. It was first manu-
factured in the Catskills about
nine years ago, and now over
twenty mills are in full blast. The
process is exceedingly simple.
Any soft wood tree—poplar is the
favorite—is felled and drawn to
the mill. The

I don't take much stock in the
story, because they could buy soui
meal as cheap as poplar flour. It
wouldn't pay to mill pine, cedar

much as timber. But any wood
