The old man made no response. His
eyes were fixed on the floor. A CLOSE OBJ

hair were false. Seeing the paper in his

assistant to retire. "Your son writes
me that you swallowed small snake

now giving you some trouble"

his eyes flashed Indignantly.

BE CAhIIFUL Oh YOUR DAUGHTERS
HEALTH WHILE IN HER TEENS.
A very peculiar case was reported to this
paper regarding Miss Matte, the 1S-year-old
daughter of James Everett, editor of the
Dearborn Independent. The reporter called
at the house of Mrs. Everett in Aurora, Ind,
to learn the particulars and was very gra-
ciously entertained by Mrs. Everett.
He was anxious to hear about the case of
Miss Matte, and at his request Mrs. Everett
said: "Our daughter has not been strong
since her siege with the fever two years ago
She didn't fully recover and was just enter
ing delicate age. She became all run
was almost continually troubled with sick
headache. She studied hard, being 80 am
bilious, but finally became SO bad she could
not study, and we were compelled to keep
her from school. We doctored with her for
q long time, trying all remedies, but she
failed to improve.
Mrs. Mary Groves, of Jonesboro, was
visiting q neighbor and learned of our
daughters case. She became interested
and advised us to get pr. Williams Pink
Pills for her, as her son had been cured by
their use. We at once procured the medi-
cine, the first few doses helped her, and after
taking them for time she was greatly bene-
fitted, and was able to return to her studies
at school. Her energy is returned, her blood
in good condition, and she feels much
stronger. She has not been troubled with
headache since she took her first half box,
and is now using the last of the second box.
We feel very grateful to DR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and are confident that
they, and they alone, restored Matte to her
former health"

electric light towers were blown down,

smallest wire, and will be useless. In
addition to this quite number Of
houses in the residence portion OF the
city were blown down, and in several
cases narrow escapes from death are
reported.
The new and unoccupied residence
Of Burt Macdonald, one Of the promi-
nent residents, was blown dawn,
striking against the residence Of Will
lam Wing, and narrowly escaping
a room playing. The wind played
havoc with several lumber yards in
the Eastern portion of the city, blow
ing piles of lumber in every direction
and scattering ruin and waste on ev-%
cry side. The roofs Of a number OF
residences were torn off and blown a
great distance, anG in addition to do
ing much damage to the state univer-
sity, the wind blew off the entire roof
of an adjoining dormitory, letting the
rain drive full into the four-story
building, doing considerable damage
to the building and property of the
200 students therein, many of whom
fled for their lives when the roof was
carried away. The roof was blown.

four people were seated, but no one
was injured, though they were en-
tombed by falling debris. A church

The small town of ClarkSville, near

many houses were blown down, al

not killed, but several were badly
MANNED. With the terrific wind came
a driving rain that was little short of
a flood and swept everything before it.
Reports from the surrounding country
are to the effect that the storm was,
general in this section. The small
town of Buda, near here, was badly
handled by the storm, quite a number
of houses being blown down and one,
or two persons, killed, though their
names were not obtainable. Telegraph
wires are down and news is very:
| meager. The storm was over in an
hour and the sun came out as brightly
rs though nothing had happened.

A smile is as cheap as a frown, and
has occasionally turned out to be worth
vastly more in hard cash. Recent En-
glish newspapers tell of a lonely old
bachelor leaving all his property to
young lady known to him only from
the fact of living opposite, because for
several years she had smiled pleasant
" upon him when they casually met in
the street, and the smile had cheered
his lonely heart and won this practical
recognition in his will.
