That is why she stands there caressing the
doll. 1t is the only treasure she has left.
and for the hour her life is bound up in
that little bundle of rags.
HOMELESS.
A poor Swede woman stands gazing on
the wreck of her cottage. Did she lose
any member of her family? No. Has she
any children? Three. How did she save
them? A touch of the arm and we are
led to the wall of an eight by ten cellar,
and az we look down into 1t we understand
that she had the forethOught TO seek shell
ter there for herself and the three children.
The fearful eyes and the quiverng lips tell
of the poor woman's sorrow. She is a
widow, has three children. but no home.
The home that her husband left her when
he died is now scattered for miles out over
the prairie.
A YOUNG HEROINE.
LULU CARPENTER, the thirteen ear-old
girl who seized her baby sister in her arms
and rushed from the house when the cyclone
struck it, died to-day. The babY's life was
saved, but fragment Of a pine board was
driven through LULU's body. AS she lay
dying in the house of a good Samaritan to-
day her mind dwelt on the terrible occur
renee of Wednesday afternoon, and all her
thought was in relation 10 the safety of the
infant sister. AS her mind wandered in de-
lirium she would constantly repeat the
words: "Cling TO Lulu, sissie, and
and you will be saved" The case
of MINNIE STEIN, a bright little ST.
Cloud girl, is another one of peculiar sad
ness. Her father was killed little over
year ago in railroad accident. Her
mother was killed i'm Wednesdays storm, and
the home which MIR. STEIN had left his
wife and child was destroyed. MINNIE is
left fatherless, mOtherless and homeless, q
pennileSs orphan and the only survivor of
the family. Her grief is too deep and bit
ter for outward demonstration. Man has
his misery and suffering in this world;
woman has hers; but child grief eXeites the
deepest sympathy and commiseration. 1t
is the struggle ofehe tender young soul,
pure as it came from the hands of its
Maker, with sin and sorrow and blackness.
CYCLONE NOTES.
In every single instance where parties
sought refuge in cellars they were saved.
Commend us TO the cellar in cyclonic
periods.
Eyewitness agree in their statements
as TO the peculiar color and shape of the
cyclone cloud
The work of the cyclone commenced in
Cairley cemetery Wednesday afternoon, and
was concluded in the same spot when its
victims were buried yesterday.
The water was lifted from the bed of the
river by the cyclone aud dashed over the
town of Sank Rapids.
Mrs. STEGER, who saw the cloud when
it first assumed shape at st. Cloud, and
watched its progress until it struck Sank
Rapids, says that it was just fifteen min
uteS in making the distance.
Mr.. JOHN JONES, who is an invalid, sat
at his window and watched the progress
of the cloud. lie does not think that it
exceeded ten minutes in making the trip to
Sank Rapids.
A fund ought to be raised to help the poor
people of the two towns 90 rebuild their
homes.

my wife for wanting to go the cellar during
a Storm" said a prominent Minneapolis
gentleman who visited St Cloud yesterday.
But hereafter want her to go the cellar
every time the wind blows, and will go
with her."
1T may sound like mockery to say so,
but know there was a providence in this
thing" said a Sank Rapids man yesterday.
''No man could have witnessed the power
of the storm without being convinced that
nothing less than an Almighty God could
have welded such force"
The cyclone bores with big auger.
