BY telegraph to the Dispatch.l
CHICAGO, July 5.-A special 20 tie Times
from Mason City, Iowa, says A terrible,
devastating cyclone swept down yesterday
upon number of towns on the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad, and it is
impossible at present to estimate the damage
done. The extent OF territory over which
the storm swept was about one hundred
miles in length and nearly mile in Width.
To the farming community the blow is a
severe one. No deaths have as yet been re-
ported, but the loss to the crops, horses, and
cattle Is enormous.

Those Famous kentucky Women.

''See those two girls coming down
the street talking together?" said my
cynical friend as~we were promenadlng
Fourth street. "Well, as we pass them
no doubt we can overhear-a scrap OF
their conversation, and I'll bet you /
can tell what they will say"
what will they say?" L asked
you'll hear the words says he,
says l. or says she,' 4" he replied.
Sure enough, when they got near
enough to overhear them one of the
girls was talking glibly, and the burden
of her remarks was ''says he'' this and
''says L" that.
"Now, I have been a close observer
in this matter, and L have made this
general formula in regard to conversa-
tioD," continued the cynic. ''If you
hear one hundred bits of conversation
between two women, there are sixty
chances that they are talking about
says he,' says i or says she,' with
the probabilities largely in favor of
says he.' Then there are thirty-nine
chances that they are talking about
matters of dress, and only one chance
in the hundred that they are talking
about something else"
"How about the men?''..I inquired.
"Well, L haven't got the percentage
down so fine there, but 1t is safe to say
that II you hear one hundred sentences
from one hundred different men, such
as you meet daily on the street, you
VIII hear at least seventy-fve oaths.
Of course, L mean If the men are talk
ing TO men,"

How CIothespins are Made.

Clothespins are made in the lumber
regions. They are usually made OF
white ash, sometimes of beach, black
and white birch and maple. The wood
is taken to the factory 10 logs and cut
into lengths of thirty-one inches by
circular saws. These lengths are then
cut into blocks and the blocks again
cut into sticks. The sticks are placed
under another saw, and cut into the
required lengths. Next the turner
takes hand at them and from there
