Broke a Great Amount
of Glass.
Fruit Trees and Groves In

Iowa.

NEWTON, Kan, April PA small

smashed thousands of panes of glass.
j. w. Weams had an arm broken his
wife was rendered unconscious and
was severely bruised and the little
daughter of j. G. Chandler was slightly
hurt. 1t is rot thought that any fatal.
tiles will result. The storm has ap.
parently spent itself short way out
side of Newton. and wrought no
further damage.
The storm lasted only l5 minutes.
Its path was mile and half long and
hundred yards wide. 1t struck
William Apeley's residence, situated
one miles southwest of the city, and
completely demolished it. The escape
Of the family was miraculous. the
wife and children being hurled
with a bed a distance of a quarter
of a mile. A half mile further On
northeast of the city, w. L. Barheisers
orchard was uprooted and his build
ings wrecked. The Boyd farm was
next in the path of the storm, mile
away. The house was totally destroyed
! J. W. Means and wife, occupants OF
the Boyd house, were badly injured.
The storm was accompanied by a
violent roaring and the clouds were
| densely black. A terrific hail storm
that Immediately followed, broke every
pane of glass in the exposed side o
buildings for distance of q couple OF
miles. Many cattle were killed and
whole orchards and groves were up
rooted. The damage to fruit in th'
immediate vicinity Of Newton will b
great. 1t is not thought that the storm
was of great extent although nj
definite reports have been received
from surrounding towns.

Hobbies Supplied to Order.

A certain gentleman whose offices
are near the Strand has built I'D a
huge business connection by profess
sionally advising people as to what
hobby to adopt.
His advice is always based as far
as possible on a pretty accurate
knowledge of his customers tenn
permanent and occupation. And a
queer fact is that several doctors
have discovered his worth and are
sending their brain tagged patients
to him for hobby treatment just as
they might dispatch them to den
fist for toothache.
AS almost every one knows, there
is marked fashion just now for
hobbies of all sorts, and to the
wealthy person who is too busy or
too lazy to start one for himself this
hobby merchant has become a per-
feet boon. Suppose you wish to
take up orchid collecting. You
simply call at his modest looking
little office one morning and leave
your order. The whole thing is
conducted with the strictest conf
dence, and within the same month
your Conservatives are stocked with
an orchid collection which is the
envy of the countryside.-L

POSTMASTERW WAS IGNORANT
Ought to Have known That Blackbird and
OiseaI Noir Were the Same.

Ought to Have known That Black bird and
OiseaI Noir Were tho Same.
In the mining camps in upper
Michigan people of every national
ity under the sun are employed, and
the mail that arrives at the nearest
point of delivery is as incongruous
as crazy patchwork. That is what
an amateur postmaster thought as
he looked it over in the candle box
in the rear of the board shanty
which served as a grocery store and
postoffice combined. He was look
ing for letter for a half breed,
who sat or soap box and waited.
"There never was such a name in
the world" said the postmaster in
a grumpy voice. WHO ever heard
of Blackbird for a name2"
dat eez so-dat my name-me,"
said the man who wanted the letter.
He spoke with a strong French ac-
cent. Peter Blackbird, my fader
he make it too"
And l tell you Blackbird amt
no kind of a heather or 9TH
erwise. Say, Frenchy, what you
done to pick up name like that2
Howsomever, if the letter was here,
it would be plain readin. Mebbe
it'll come next week. Who d'you ex-
.Ject it from, ennyhow9"
Me fader, an it zee money got
dat l len him-me."
"Well, get out now with your
jargon. If it comes, I'll save it for
you. Come agen when you can't
stay so long" And the letters were
packed away for the next conner.
In a week the half breed was back
as before, looking for a letter for
Peter Blackbird," and, as before,
no letter awaited him.
Can you read writin9" asked
the postmaster angrily, as he Tipped
the letters on the rough counter.
"Whaffor 1 hev letter come eef l
no read2" asked the half breed in
return.
Then you look here and see that
there isn't anything for Peter
Blackbird.
The woodsman took each letter in
his grimy hands and with infinite
pains and difficulty spelled out the
hard names to which the one he had
given seemed an easy one. At last
he seized one with yell of delight
and began tearing it open, when the
postmaster insisted on seeing it.
Hello" he said. This amt
your letter''
Yum, yum, yum, dat my letter.
tell you dat name in Eenglish, for
you not speak de French-dat my
fader hanwrite-dat my name"
He held it up, and the puzzled
postmaster looked at the inscrip-
ton and read this legend: pierre
L'Oiseau Noir, Camp Alger, Mich.
well, what the - has that
got to do with you2" asked the post
Dat Peter Blackbird in French
