Cellars seemed of little or no protec-
ton, since, while some of the houses
above them blew away, those to the
west were crushed bodily into tneir
depths. Think of two mothers, as
late as noon to-day,
SEEKING FRANTICALLY FOR LOST
CHILDREN,
seeing three who corresponded in size
with those they sought, but all so
marred by dirt and blood and wounds
whether to say mine or not. The
scenes around the demolished houses
We're heartrending; men, women and
children crying bitterly and almost
bereft of reason. An absolute doubt
exists In many cases as to where the
site of their home was; over the dread
full uncertainty and a haunting dread,
and through it all the breeze sighing
gently, the moon smiling calmly and
men working bravely. The rising
sun showed the bitterness of the desc
lation. Queer freaks there were, of
course. Here stands WALL and on it
hangs an unbroken looking-glass,
while heavy stove, crushed into
fragments, lies on the floor near by.

Down near the river stands the large

from its western end. To the south

turned and twisted as if of straw.

the track and into the water. The
owner of the mill was lifted fifty feet
vertically and hurled against a bank

was left unbroken. Rochester, as
every one knows, was a beauti-
ful city, and as much on ac-
count of its trees as anything. A
score of years will not restore its pris-
tine loveliness in this direction. Some
of the streets in the best part of the
city are impossible, and looking up
or down them one sees nothing but
tangled mass of trunks and foliage
jammed across the roadway. Scarce

all possible, and residents are sub

a day or two, and then leaves for

Recently Mr.. Randall made an in
vestment in the mineral lands IN West

the Cincinnati congressional vetes to
Carlisle, Cox is supported by Hill

Hurd and Ben LeFevre, and the bal
ance of the Ohio delegation is be
lieved to be for Randall.

WHAT rs SIZE WORTH


Here Is maiden arrayed in her beauty, sta
Fairest and sweetest of madens on earth,
Plain her attire, and those who admire
Oft Will inquire Pray, what is she worth?'
Worthy of love, and the hearts alteration,
worthy Of loyalty, reverence, truth; '4H
Worth all that you would give to renew
Inc freshness and dew OF your innocent
youth. 'T IN
Little of silver or gold Is her portion; i.
POOR Is her lineage humble her birth;
Yet in her pride unto kings she's allied,
And none may decide the amount she is
worth.
Just as she is in her innocent beauty
Fitted for fre-side comfort, we know
She, the home-dove, other treasures above,
ls worth all the love that our hearts can be-
stow
Here Is another in silks and in satins.
Laces and furbelows finely arrayed
Proud or her birth and her stat IN on earth,
What is she worth, this immaculate maid?
Selfish and sordid tits easy to reckon
Her wealth and importance; but, ah me! 80
small
Her heart and her mlnd-if you're not too
She's worth, you will find out-just nothing at
For the heart is the test; and the man or the
maiden
Whose friendship with gold or with silver is
bought,
Despite their pretense, and their dollars and
cents,
thought!

Selling Old Corn.

Tim Bunker" the veteran agri-
cultural writer of Connecticut, used to
claim that it was ruin to sell old corn.
That is, ruin TO the farmer. AS usual,
:'Tim'' hit the nail squarely on the
head. Many farmers, by careful man
agement, succeed in holding a good
share of their old corn until it is nearly
time to harvest the new crop. Corn is
then up at a good price, and it is usual
ly considered good policy to sell out be-
fore the new crop is pushed upon the
market. 1t is poorpolicy to sell corn at
all if it can be fed out upon the farm,
and it is certainly very poor policy to
sell good hard corn, even if it does
bring a few cents more per bushel,
and then fatten your own stock upon
new corn. Hogs should be fattened
before the cold weather sets in, and
there is nothing that will do the work
UP so expeditiously and cheaply as old
corn. A bushel of it seems to 60 as far
as two of the new crop. There is no
gaseous fermentation going on in the
old corn as there is in the new, conse-
quently it is a safer feed for any stock.
Old corn can also be ground, If desired,
and mixed with other food.
Again, there is always risk in sell
ing out the old crop before the new is
fully ripe, as in our latitude we are al
ways liable to frosts, after the first OF
September. We can never feel abso-
lutely sure of crop of corn until it be-
gins to harden in the ear.
The main difficulty with the majority
of our farmers is, that they have so
managed as to be actually obliged to
sell crop, whether the price be re-
munerative or otherwise. How fire.
quently we have seen farmers sell corn
in the fall for twenty-five cents per
bushel, selling themselves short in order
to meet obligations overdue, and then
buy in the spring for forty cents pei
bushel. Instead of buying stock and
feeding cut their grain upon theil
farms, they are obliged to keep theiI
stock sold down in order 10 pay the in

Many a rundown farm owes its present

What a Jealous Hubbyo Found.

Last Wednesday afternoon promi-
nent business man, residing in the ex-
IRENE western part of the city, was seen
occupying one of the benches in Lincoln
Park, busily engaged handling several
hundred pieces of small paper. A
reporter happening in the vicinity, and
having the pleasure of the business
mans acquaintance, asked him what he
was trying to do.
II found these bits of paper in the
dining-room of my house, and / am OF
the opinion that some fellow has been
writing to my wife, and as ! am anxious
to see what the letter contained, came
to this place to put it together"
"Can l assist youp' asked the re-

work was accomplished, when the
husband was astonished by the follow
ing; 900.
