HER LOSS HIS GAIN.
The Small Gamin Was the Only One Who
Came Out Ahead.

Came Out Ahead.
Dramatts perSOnae, a small street
gamin leaning idly against tree. On
the opposite side of the street young
woman, carrying her pocketbook In her
hand. Coming toward her the ubiqui-
tous man who rescues damsels in dis
tress. just as these two met on the
muddy crossing. the young woman
dropped her pocketbook in the mud.

Of thimbles, pennies, scissors, samples
and dimes were scattered broadcast.

licitously.
NO. That is, nothing but penny"
"Oh," and lifting his hat, be walked
on, not having received so much as a
'thank-you" for the service. But then
she was very pretty.
There is climax to this story. When
the young woman had ceased looking
for lost property she went on her way,

street from his post OF observation

penny under the stone where he saw

MOLTKE AND THE CHURCH.
His Wife Was an EnGlish Woman

Too.
Moltke's wife was of English origin.
but in his criticisms on England Mime.
Moltke's descent made no difference to
the general. When he had to be mount
ed for some review and the duke of
Wellington provided him with horse
he wrote to his wife: 1.-The Lord in his
wrath made the duke of Wellington
master of the horse He understands
nothing about horses, SO he provided
me with an animal that had run Mt the
last races. I never rode a more un-
comfortable one" In Moltke's letter
to his wife and other relatives this de-
scription of the service in an English
CHURCH is described:
1.-The prayers last for about an hour,
In the course OF which clergyman and
congregation alternately speak The
consequence is that one passes about
half the time upon ones knees, which
seems an easy task, seeing that one is
provided with good velvet cushion and
an easy chair at ones back. but in other
respects it is really a chastisement.
After these the chapter of the Old Testa-
ment was read which describes how
Gideon sizys the five Amorite kings,
puts them in cave and hangs them on
trees, and how many towns he had de-
stroyed, killing the inhabitants to a
Man. and other certainly not very edi-
flying things Of the same character.
The sermon comes last Of all, quite as
can accessory rhetorical exercise"

and Thrive.
Much Is said about American dys-
pepsia, but there is one native race Of
America that Is certainly not greatly
troubled by the modern curse, soys Pop
ular Science News The sturdy little
Esquimaux defy all the laws of hygiene
and thrive. The Esquimau, like the or
dinary dweller in America, eats until
he is satisfied, but there is this differ
ence-that he never is satisfied while a
shred Of the feast remains unconsumed.
His capacity is limited by the supply.
and by that only.
He cannot make any mistake about
the manner of cooking his food, for as
rule he does not cook it, nor, so far
as the blubber or fat of the arctic AMI
NAL Is concerned, about his method Of
eating it, for he simply does not eat it;
he cuts it into long strips an inch wide
and an inch thick and then lowers the
strips down his throat as one might
lower rope into a we'll.
And after all that he does not suffer
from indigestion. He can make good
meal off the flesh and skin Of the wal
rus, provision so hard and gritty that
iItcutting up the animal the knife must
b continually sharpened.
The teeth of a little Esquimau child
will meet in bit of walrus skin as the
teeth of an American child would meet
in the flesh of an apple. And that when
the hide of the walrus is from one-half
to one and one-half inches in thickness
and bears considerable resemblance to
the skin of an elephant. The Esqui-
mau child will bite and digest it. too.
and never know what dyspepsia means.

The methods of these ancien, days

SWEPT BY A TORNADO.
Ten Are Dead at Lowry, Mimi, an,

Ten Are Dead at Lowry, Mimi, and
the Town Is Demolished.
Dispatches received at Duluth say that
cyclone obliterated the town of Lowry,
Mimi, and that possibly ten people were
killed and several injured. Lowry is sit
uated ON the 500 Line seven miles from
Glenwood, on the Northern Pacific Rail
road. The cyclone Travelled from south
west to northwest.
The cyclone struck Lowry shortly after
6 o'clock in the evening. Evidences of
the cyclonic cloud were seen in Duluth
about o'clock. The sky was overcast
with clouds that circled as they moved
rapidly northeast, and there was yell
low cast that was ascribed to the sun pen
etrating through them. People looked i'll
wonder on the scene, but nobody ascribed
the conditions to cyclone. The clouds
moved high in the air and circled with
a perfectly steady motion. Every building
in the village was damaged. Seven dwell
ing houses, the station, a church, an ele
vator and butcher-shop were totally
destroyed. The railroad tracks were
twisted and telegraph wires torn down
and part Of mill was carried away.
From Lowry the storm continued in a
northeastcrly direction to the farm of
Robert Peacock. where it made clean
sweep Of all the buildings. Mrs. Peacock,
her daughter Nettie and boy named
Robert MacGowap were all injured, but
will probably recover. The next point
in the path of the storm was Thomas An
drews' house, where the family took ref
uge in the cellar and escaped with bruises.
All his furm buildings, including n new
brick house, are total wreck. From
here the tornado moved about due east
to Samuel Morrow's, where it left death
in its path. The family were preparing TO
enter the cellar when the storm struck.

lake region and New England the week
has been very favorable to crops, the
high temperature being especially favor

excessive heat and absence of rainfall
proving injurious to most crops On the
Pacific coast the week has been very IA

In the principal corn States of the CEN
trail valleys corn has made rapid growth,
but in the Southern States it is suffering

Excessive rains have retarded harvesting

to that in shock. Good progress with har-
vesting has been made in Nebraska and

In one story she tells how typhoid
fever broke out among the fairies.
When the fairy doctor came. he talked
TO the fairy godmother about microbes
and germs, and told her to boil tde

mind. asked if hair was sidewalk

The flower that bends down to the earth

But never again will it return
The same as it was plod.

and sudden. doesn't make sense, be-
cause the word 'plod.' which rhymes
so nicely with God, doesn't mean what

In this embarrassment she seems
strikingly like real poets.
