kipiing's View of It.

"The Englishman," said Mir. Kip ling, will die for liberty, but he doesn't care straw for equality. The French man. on the other hand, doesn't really know what liberty means, but he must have equality. As for the American. he is indifferent to both liberty and equality, and goes in heart and soul for fraternity. This is really the banc of the American nation; so long as 0 man is good fellow he can do any, thing, and people will approve, or, at least, will tolerate it."

That Terrible Tornado,

Nathaniel Ruggles, of St. Louis, writes his mother, Mrs Levi W. Beck ley, at Canaan, that he was right in the midst of that terrible tornado. He, with his wife and little girl, were all in his store when the storm burst upon them. It took four men to hold the front door from blowing in. Bricks and water came crashing in through the skylight in rear of the store, so they all ran for the cellar. as they thought that would be the safest place, taking no thought or care for the safety of bis goods as long as their lives were spared. The roaring of that wind was Some thing he hoped he should never hear again. To say that they were fright ened is no comparison, and to add hor- TOT to the scene, the gas and electric lights went out, and buildings were on fire in all directions.
 The scenes on the streets the next morning were beyond his power to de- scribe, Everywhere was ruin, wreck. age and death. Twenty three dead bod ies were taken out of building few doors from his store. Piles of brick, steeples to churches, telegraph poles, dead horses, awnings and signs, and the dead and dying all lay in a mass to- | gether. Thousands came from all di. rections to view the awful scenes. About 500 people were killed and 400 lay in the hospitals wounded. He also writes that he thanked God that then lives were saved, and that they escaped uniniured.
