THE TASTY WORD.
Wounds That We Cause Even to Our
Dearest Friend.

Wounds That We Cause Even to Our
Dearest Friend.
To think before you speak is so wise
an axiom that one would hardly think
it needfu1 to emphasize it by repeti-
tion. And yet in how many cases the
hasty temper flashes out ia the hasty
word, and the latter does its work with
the precision and the pain of the swift
stilletto. Singularly enough the hasty
word oftenest wounds those who love
one another dearly. and the very close
ness of their intimacy affords them OPP
portunity for the sudden thrust. We
know the weak points in the armor of
our kinsman and our friend; we are
aware of his caprices, and ordinarily
are tender and compassionate even of
his vanities and his small fancies and
whims; but there datvns a day when it
is written in the book of fate that we
shall be as cruel as we are loving. We
are cold, or tired or hungry. We are
anxious over unpaid bills, or our ex-
pected letters have not arrived, or one
of the children is ailing, and we dread
the outcome of the malady. So polite
ness fails US, fortitude is vanquished.
philosophy is in allegiance, and we say
that which we repent in sackcloth and
ashes But though the hasty word
may be forgiven, it is not at once for
gotten. 1t has hawed the crystal of
our friendship; the place may be ce-
mented, but there is a shadowy scar
on the cleaning surface Oh, if the
word of haste had been left unspoken;
if the strong hand of patience had held
back the sword as it was about to
strikei-Detroit Free Press

MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION.

Four Persons Killed and Two Fatally In
jured in OIL City, Pa
On. CITY, Pa. April 5.-A terrific ex-
plosion occurred here at $50 o'clock
yesterday evening, by which four per-
sons were instantly killed and two
fatally injured The dead are: Joseph
Kaullis, German laborer, aged so;
Mary Kaullis, aged 6 years; Joe Kaul-
lis, aged years; Mary Tasmer,
aged years Mrs Kaullis and
her babe, 6 months old, were
seriously hurt and are now lying
in dying condition at the hospital.
The cause of the explosion is mys-
terry. When it occurred Kaullis was
on the back porch of his residence, and
the children were playing in the yard.
His wife and youngest child were in
side the house. There was no gas
burning in the house, either for
fuel or lights. The bodies of all
were terribly mangled. and lie
entire rear portion of the house was
blown into kindling wood. The only
plausible theory advanced for the dis
aster is that Kaullis found glycerine
can and brought it home. and it was
accidentally exploded.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., April 5.-Not-
withstanding the rain which fell nearly
all day, heavy vote was cast in the
state election. It is claimed that the
voting will show large republican
gains. At republican headquarters
the officials claimed everything. The
vote polled is the largest in the
history of the state, and it
is the first plurality election.
The republicans are very confident
that they are overw edlmingly victor
ious. They are positive that they have a
majority in the general assembly, as
surfing the election of Wetmore as
United States senator, and that Brown
is elected governor by a comforta BILE
plurality.
Browns plurality is estimated from
1900 to 1000. Returns from fifteen
out of thirty-six towns give him plu-
