The storm originated near the town of
Ankeny, fifteen miles north Of Des Moines.
AS near as can be ascertained from those
who saw the sight two clouds, one from the
northwest and one from the southwest, met
and then dropped down on the earth and
wrought their havoc on all that was loose
and fast The storm moved northeastward.
Near the town of Bondurant it killed its
first victim, the members of the Bailie
family. The storm was seen from Bondu-
rant Many farmers who had attended the
church services had been unable to get
home before the storm and their lives were
thus saved The track Of the tornado at
this point was about a quarter of a mile
wide. 1t passed onward. going north of
the town of Santiago. AL along the course
the fences and buildings and crops and
trees were completely destroyed. In places
the bark was peeled from the trees. the
houses were lifted up and hurled down and
broken into splinters, the cellars were
heaped full of mud and debris, often partial
ly covering those who had taken refuge in
them. Those who fed to caves were in

proach of the storm that many were unable
to find that shelter. though the caves were

MIRACLES IN A LUNCH ROOM.
Walked Without Clutches After the
Third Bottle.

Among the hundreds who patronize
a particular lunch room down town
during the business hours of the day is
a middle-aged gentleman for long
time grievouSly afflicted in the neither
limbs. He always came in limping pain
fully, selected a quiet corner, ordered
modest luncheon, ate it, and limped
out again, often without recognizing
any other customer or acquaintance.
On a certain day last week he limped
in a little livelier than usual, bring
ing with him a couple Of friends They
got a distant table, chatting earnestly
the while. They had evidently been on
the right side of the market and were
feeling good. The crutches were be-
slowed in the nearest corner by the
waiter. An elaborate lunch was or
dered, including cold bottle. Half an
hour after another extra dry found
it's way in. In the meantime the party
grew pleasantly hilarious. An hour

DIVIDE THE TIPS EQUITABLY.
Walters in the Modern Hotel Pool
Their Issues.

Yesterday morning in an uptown
hotel" said a cosmopolite, II gave a
man a tip after breakfast, and he
promptly passed it over to the head
waiter / was familiar enough with
that sight abroad. but / had never
seen it in New York before, so I called
the waiter back and asked him why he
passed over the money. He told me
that it was a rule of the house that the
money should be put into a common
fund and distributed every week equal
" among the walters. He said that no
other system had ever adjusted the diff
ferences in the advantages that posi-
ton and acquaintance gave some of
the men over the others, while the plan
of combining the tips and distributing
them at the end of every week satisfied
every man.
This same system prevails in Ger
many and France, but one rarely sees
it here. In New York it is as much dis
couraged by the customers as it is by
the walters, and the former believe
that they lose the special service which
is the consideration of their reward
when they are not allowed to give a
man something more than every other
waiter will receive. In Germany and
Austria the cafes have a function called
Zahlkellner, or pay waiter, whose
duty it is to collect all the charges.
He receives all the tips, and the waiter
gets his share in the distribution.
have tipped these men and seen them
go straight off to the Zahlkellner and
hand him the money. None of them
would think of keeping it for himself,
for he knows that an honest account
ing from every waiter will bring the
whole to the higher figure. / have seen
the walters in Southern Germany go
up to the silver urn on the cashiers s
desk and drop their fees in there, to
he distributed equally among the lot
afterward. But / don't think the sys-
tenn would ever go here. An American
likes to feel that his % cents is going

him especially well, and is not be divid-

CORSICA'S FUTURE.

With Virgin Soil in Abundance and

Why should we send our superfluouS

there is In the Mediterranean, a land
locally known as 1.-The Green Isle" with
virgin soil in abundance, much more
sunshine than the Emerald Isle" in the
Atlantic, and desirable propinquity to

two thirds the size of Ireland. More

historic times the island supported her
couple of millions, but the sixth largest
French department has, according to

HIS PAPA'S BUSINESS.
The Doctors Son Advertised 1t i'm a

1t is peculiar belief among the
youngsters of many families that the
new baby sister or brother is the
gracious gift of the family physician,

the solemn assurance of papa and

story in order to tide over those events
that occur occasionally in the best
