THE MARTINIQUE TORNADO.

From the Washington Post.
The devastation and destruction caused
bv the tornado which last week swept
over Martinique, so far from being ex-
aggerated in the first accounts, were not
adequately described in them. 1t Is be-
lieved now that nearly 800 persons were
killed outright, while about 1,0OO were
injured In st. Pierre, the capital,
tbirtv-four were killed and many build
ings were leveled to with ground. For
ests in the track of the storm were up
rooted, and about vne-third Of the coffee
and the sugar plantations of the islands
were completely destroyed. All the
shipping in all the harbors, and 1t was
from many countries, was utterly swept
away. 1t was the worst tornado since
1917.
Martinique is one of the most beauti-
full islands in the West Indies. 1t is
about forty-five miles long by ten to
fifteen miles wide, and has population
of 200, 600. 1t is of volcanic origin, there
being six extinct volcanoes on the island,
and its highest mountain, Mount Pele,
is over 4. 900 feet high. The hillsides are
clothed with forests, and between the
rocky ridges there are fertile and well
titled valleys. Here tropical nature has
her sublimest and calmest moods. Here
gradeur and loneliness are shown side
by side. This is the island where Jose
phine, Napoleon's Empress, was born.
This is the island where Paul and VIr-
einius lived, loved, and died. But, I'M
fortunately, it is right in the track OF
the storm.

KANSAS NEEDS.
From the Atchison Patriot.

From the Atchison Patriot
One need 90 no farther for an evidence
of Kansas prosperity than the demand
for Iaborers in all sections of our state.
From almost every county IN Kansas
comes the story that farmers cannot ind
help to harvest their crops. Hundreds
of men and teams of horses can find
profitable employment by going few
miles into the country and applying to
the farmers.
The success which has attenned the
agriculturalists' labors has put them III a
mood to hustle, and larger areas OF land
than ever will be put under cultivation.
What is now needed to make this a
boom year and a substantial one, is more
men. Farmers are encouraged and with
the sale of this years products will have
money to pay help and improve their
properties.
This is an unusually good time for peo-
pie to come to Kansas They will find
great advantages if DESTROYS of securing
homes. Land can be bought now for
less money than few years hence. The
abundant crops renders the cost OF living
for man and beast less than most any
where else in the world. Come to Kan
sas and enjoy the fruits of prosperity.

PATRIOTIC UTTERANCES.

The proposition that was suggested by
some irresponsible priest some time ago
of having all colonies of Catholics com
ing to this country accompanied by a
priest of their tongue and nativity so
that the colonists might be counseled
and instructed in their native language
and in loyalty to the native country and
government, does not meet the approval
of intelligent Catholics in this country,
whether official or parishoner. Cardinal
Gibbons address On the occasion of con-
ferring the pallium upon Archbishop
Katzer, of Milwaukee, on Thursday last,
was at once warning against introduc-
ing the spirit of nationalism into religion
and an eloquent appeal for loyalty to
law and country. 80 one country,
he said, "we owe allegiance, and that
country is America. We must be IL
harmony with our political institutions.
1t matters not whether this is the land
of our birth or of our adoption. 1t Is
the land of our destiny. Here we intend
to live and here we hope to die" With
such principle at work throughout the
entire social economy Of a nation there
could be no fears for its future.

A Beautifully Dressed Man.

'Eurekal | have found it," as some
body cried when he found out something
ages ago as he took his morning tub.
The thing | found was a beautifully
dressed man. He did not burst on my
view glorious in cuffs and collars. He
was not in Life Guardsman uniform, nor
was he artistically undressed for the ten
mis- court. Possibly he was not one Of
the upper ten" for he was riding IN an
omnibus near Victoria, and l gathered
from his conversation that he was going
to his work; but whoever he was his
tailor was an artist to make "a thing OF
beauty" and therefore, according TO
Keats, "a JOY forever" out Of man
whose personal advantages consisted OF
youth, good health and blue eyes.
The tailor took these eyes for his key
note, so to speak, and produced a sym
phony in light electric blue. 4 suit of
smooth serge repeated the color Of the
eyes. The ground of the shirt was an
octave higher, and the pattern an octave
lower in tone The neckte struck the
KEYNOTE again, while the highest note
of all was represented by a small, but
very blue steel chain. Bronze hat and
shoes, to match the hair, completed a
costume which was simply perfect. II
was with much difficulty we RETAINED
from asking his tailor's address.-Cor.
