1t is forgotten that while to the low
est scale of human life poverty is q
hard lot somewhat tempered by habit,
to higher grades of society poverty is
really crime. They dare not show to
their neighbors and acquaiptances any
outward evidences of their poverty
they dare not reveal the terrible pinch
ings and struggles they go through to
keep their little home together or the
anxiety they suller in raising the little
rent they have to pay weekly for a
humble lodging in a respectable house

The Storm at Duluth.

From the Tribune.
The unusual conyulsion of the ele-
ments Sunday afternoon, accompanied
as it was by wind, hail and rain will
be long remembered. Ordinarily the
hailstones all fall at the beginning of
such an outburst, but this time they
continued to drop almost as long as
the rain itself and some of them were
as large as good sized marbles. The
water soon began TO rush down the av-
enues in torrents which entirely out
leaped the boundaries of the cutters,
whether of paving stones well jam
med and rammed" or otherwise, and
rushed across Superior street very
much as they pleased, making pedes-
trianism for time impossible and
covering the sidewalks with dirt.
The Clark house creek ran even
with the sidewalk for a while but soon
subsidized.
The cellar Of the Metropolitan dry
goods store was inundated to the depth
of several feet.
Wieland's basement was again flood
ell.
Water ran in on the lower floors of
the St, Louis hotel in considerable
streams. 1t is reported that the Iaun-
dry room of this house was flooded.
Policeman Gillan's house was car
ried off its pins by a big gust of wind
and carried some twelve feet. Officer
Benson and a half dozen more who
were in it at the time thought the end
of the world was just at hand. Furni-
ture and crockery was broken, the
frame Of the building badly racked
and damage approXimating $500 done
From Lake avenue westward, all
the avenues were for a while the chan
nels Of rapid streams which ignored all
conventional boundaries. As one
merchant said, who was seen shovel
ing about a ton OF sand from his side
walk, Its lots Of fun to do business
ou corner" The work he was at
was certainly no Boyce play.
y general expression was, IF the
storm extends westward through Da-
kota, ii will play havoc with the wheat
crop" Happily, however, there are
no reports Of damages in that locality.
The downfall in the evening was of
short duration, but the skies were
black and .theatening until after mid
night.
The effect of the storm at lake av-
enue and Fourth street was disastrous
to the residents in that vicinity, sever
al houses being flooded. One party
was forced to cut holes in the flooring
to prevent the flooding Of the entire
lower story.
