My comrade was more fortunate. He,
with four others, succeeded in getting

hair-breadth escapes. This river is a
very deep and rapid stream. Two of

her frugal meal in the fireplace. They
remained out in the brush while their

But what was their disappointment,
and more so that of the old Auntie, for
when they sat down to eat they could
not eat; they had been without food
so long that their stomachs would not
retain the food.
Ny comrade said to me that the old
Auntie felt so bad for them that she
wept like q child. This old friend

them up in the brush as best she could,

SOME IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS

State.
CYCLONE AT BETHLEHEM.

rDE MAIN BUILDING on THE FAIR GROUNDS
DESTROYED.
A cyclone from the southwest struck
Bethlehem the other day. The main build
Ing of the Bethlehem Fair and Driving
Park association was destroyed. After
moments wrcste with the whirlwind the
timbers collapsed and sank to the ground.
The loss is $4,000. Lightning struck the
cable tower of the Pennsylvania Telephone
Company and set the postofiice building in
which it is situated on fire The fire depart
ment rushed out in the storm and extin-
guished the flames The storm ruined the
bottling establishment of f. ID. Sawtelle,
whose loss is $4,000. Many trees were up
rooted and electric light, telegraph and
telephone wires were blown down. The
steeple OF the First Presbyterian church was
also blown down. Cut hay in the fields and
growing grain near here is almost total
loss and makes the damage by the storm al
most beyond estimating. The visible ruin
in and about town is said to amount to
about Sl5O,000.

A Great Sturgeon.

w. II. Vianen, the pioneer fisher
man of the Frazer river, had on cxhi-
bition today sturgeon fourteen feet
long and weighing nine hundred
pounds, which was caught in an oola-
chan net last night. Notwithstanding
the size of this fish and the interest IL
created Mr.. Vianen did not at all
feel proud of his catch, for the reason
that it cost him the tidy little figure Of
5000. The sturgeon got tangled in
the oolachan net and ripped 1t into
pieces in a very few minutes. The
net was new one and probably the
best one OH the river. Surgeons sell
at three cents pound and the 900.
FOUNDER is valued at $27, which leavcs
the loss almost total. Though glad at
any time to make heavy catch Mr.
vianen hopes he may never again win
isherman's honors at such price.

Horrors of the Sea.

Many asccrtained facts Of we'll nigh
incredible horror would seem 10 sug-
gest that the sea communicates some
thing of its own cruelty to those who
live on or near it. Was there ever q
tale inspired by the imagination Of
the romancer moro dreadful than the
true story Of the "Palatine," whicb
left Holland for America in 1749, car
rying as passengers many rich Dutch
people who intended to settle near
Philadelphia. For six weeks in pleas-
ant weather the amply-provisioned
essel sailed up and down the DelA-
ware coast, while the officers and
crew cut of the food supply of the
passengers, the pangs of hunger COM
pelling the unarmed and starving
wretches to buy at exorbitant prices
the miserable fragments which their
tyrants chose TO deal out to them.
Twenty of them died of starvation

Congress made it felony punishable

In the wav of headgear for little heads
the mothers should be careful not to make
choice of large flowers for garniture, 80 that
the child may not seem to be wearing her
big sisters hat. In the illustration is given
very good example of a becoming hat for
a little miss-a yellow straw ornamented
with garland of daisies and bows of straw
colorcd ribbon. Certain flowers have
young look about them when full blown,
and they are the ones to make choice of for
chidrcn's hats All wild flowers go well
with youthful faces and are particularly
becoming for such rs have the wild wood
land air about them. No one would think
of getting orchids or peonies or tulips or
poppies or tiger-lilies on child's hat. Would
not daisies or heather or wild roses or forget
me-nots or pansies or apple-blossoms be
more appropriated A very becoming bit Of
headgear for some children is the wide
brimmcd fancy straw with Sclian crown,
which Is of silk or wooden stuff, striped
something like liberty cap and has
silk tassel that falls gracefully over the
brim.
Long skirts of the Kate Greenaway style
should be used with great discretion even in
cold weather. Such gowns are really not
fitted for walking purposes at all, and
many cold gets its first lessons in stiff
and awkward carriage by being rolled up in
these so-called picturesque costumes. Every
child in good health has far more vitality
than he or she has any use for. and il must
be worked of in swift, motions and semi.
boisterious play, the limbs. particularly, be.
ing left free and untrammeled. Short
skirts, therefore, should be the rule Us the
warm weather comes on, and gowns should
be straight and loose and not loaded down
with heavy sashes. Very pretty effects are
attained by trimming the skirt and cuffs
with bands of velvet ribbon of darker
shade than the dress, the ribbon also being
used to stimulate the yoke. You will find a
charmingly picturesque little gown repre-.
sented in the illustration. 1t may be made
