: On July 13 of this year, as on July
13 Of every year since the thirteenth
century, the inhabitants of the prov
ince Of Baretous, in France, including
the mayors of three communes, per-
formed curious ceremony in expia-
tion of crime their ancestors
committed more than five hundred
years ago. In those early days the
people of Baretous fell upon the peO-
pie Of Roncal, in Spain, just across
the border, and massacred thousands
of men, women and children. To-day
their descendants humiliate them
selves before the Roncalese as token
of sorrow and regret.
Punctually at 9 o'clock in the
morning the ceremony began. The
BaretOus dignitaries, escorted by an
armed detachment, stood at the
frontier. A peasant, bearing a red
pennant as symbol of justice, was
at their side. At the stroke of the
hour the French mayors advanced,
wearing their scarfs of Office and
preceded by peasant carrying a
lance, with a white pennon as a flag
of truce. Behind these followed the
peasantry Of Baretous, some leading
three white heifers.
"Do you wish peace?" cried the
Spanish mayor Of Isaba.
EYES," replied the Frenchmen.
They laid their lance on the bound
airy stone. The Spaniards planted
theirs on French soil, then laid II

Charles Smith of Sparta, Ca, lately
had singular dream. During a re-
cent fire a clock was stolen from a
burning house. The following night
he dreamed that he was standing
near negro engaged in cutting
wood, and that, looking through the
open window of the-negro's house, he
saw the clock standing ON the mantel-
piece. In the morning he went to
the house to investigate the matter.
Finding the front door locked he
went around to the rear, looked
through the window, saw the clock,
and recovered it, just Is he had
dreamed.

CHASED BY TORNADO

II don't believe that fright ever
turned PERSONS hair white off
hand" said Henry Wetherell, an en-
gineer of the Jersey Central Ra ilroad.
"If such a thing could happen these
locks you'd not be as black as you
see them now, for l will venture to
say that no man ever went through
more fear-inspiring experience than I
did once. Tell you the story? Why,
certainly. But I am not very good
at a yarn, and ] can only give you the
bare facts without descriptive Orna-
mentation.
ut happened this way: The year
was 1873 or 1879, I forget which.
Anyhow 1T was sometime in July.
The weather had been pretty hot,
and II was just the sort Of day for
breeding tornado
'But I am getting ahead Of my
story already, not being very expert
in the way of anecdote. I was work
ing on one-horse road In Southern
Kansas The Superintendent wired
me to fetch my engine distance Of
about seventy miles to place called
Peterstown 1t was wanted to haul
lot of perishable freight, mostly
market produce, which had shunted
OF by some accident onto side track
and was in danger of spelling. A
suit against the company might have
followed, and the business hadito be
attended to in a hurry. There were
only seven locomotives on the road,
barring two or three that were dis
abled.
"Well, not to be too long-winded, I
got fuel and water aboard as quickly
as possible and started for Peters
town, taxing it rather easily, be-
cause the track wasn't in condition
to stand fast running we'll. l was
about an hour out from my starting
place, and had gone sixteen miles
perhaps when l noticed some queer
looking clouds on the western hOr-
lion.
1.-THE day was exceedingly sultry,
aud there was curious sort of glare
over the landscape which made it
look>sort of feverish. I can't think
of better word for describing 1t.
There was something unnatural about
the appearance of everything. My
fireman was a boy who had been
brought up in that region. and he
said that it looked like tornado
coming. He ought to have been .
good judge Of the symptoms, because
the whole Of his family, together
with all their property and live
stock, had been wiped out by such a
'twister,' as they call 'em, when he
was hardly old enough to toddle.
''By the time we'd gone, maybe
eight or ten miles further, q dense
bank of clouds had spread around to-
ward the southwest 1t was black as
ink, but beneath it was a blank
streak of white. l had never seen
anything that looked quite like it be.
FORE AS looked at it the bank rose
higher, and presently I saw some.
thing like a sharp point of cloud pro
ject itself downward from the black
mass All this time There was nc
thunder nor lightning, bnt only
look about the sky that was dreadful
to see, because it was so unnatural
like. 1t seemed az. If something aw.
full was going to happen. 1t was the
boy who called my attention to the
pointed cloud. and he said 1t was
tornado beginning.
II pretended nl,t to be afraid, and
