The crowring beauty Of a Chau

chief. She has dozens Of handker-
chiefs, and they are all just too sweet
for anything. She has embroidered
them herself, and they match her
dresses and often bear some beauti-
full little legend which starts you
talking upon what soon becomes a
very absorbing conversation. 1.-The
Chautauqua salute" she will tell
you, lis the waving of a pocket
handkerchief. When we come to-
gether our leader silently lifts his
handkerchief, and every one in the
big auditorium waves a handkerchief
at the same time. The effect is ever
so impressive; it is our national sa.
lutte, and we take great pride in hav.
ing pretty pocket handkerchiefs ready
for it. This one of mine is marked
'Mizpah,' which means, The Lord
watch between me and thee while
we are absent one from another. ~

Thirteen bodies were found frozen In

their lives by wreck in the Milwaukee
yards yesterday afternoon. The after
noon accommodation bound for Mil
waukee and the shop employees train
from Merrill were running side by side
on parallel tracks when the former
dashed through an open switch and
struck the first car of the shop train,
overturning it and the two following
cars. The engine and baggage car Of
the accommodation train were thrown
into the ditch, but the passenger coaches
kept the rails and the passengers escaped
with violent shaking up. OF the 100
workmen in the three overturned carr
seven were killed instantly, one was
seriously injured and twelve were 80
badly hurt that they had to be taken
away in ambulances. though all of the
latter will probably recover.
The unfortuhates in the first coach
of the shop train had seen their impend-
ing danger, and rush was made for the
windows. Seven were clambering out
when the car was overturned ON them.
and all were crushed and mangled
almost beyond recognition. Their bodies
were taken out by the wrecking crew
and conveyed to the morgue. but up to
a late hour but four had been identified.
Their names are: Paul Wagner, Stephen
Bobote, John Grundowski and Robert
Weise, all laborers. The accident was
caused by the carelessness of switching
crew. William Hartels, the foreman.
immediately gave himself up to the po-
lice. He says there is no excuse for the
accident. He simply forgot to close the
switch.
