Further along in his remarks Mr.. Allen
reverted to the power exercised by the

Col. Dink Bolts of Calcasieu sat in his

Lem, as the boys called him, is one of the
really famous characters of our parish.
He is, indeed, one, but he won't wear a
necktie. That is no detriment though
for they tell me Jay Gould wouldn't wear
a tie, either. Jays reasons were other
than LENS, however.
Every time Lem wears pecktie some
thing serious happens to him. The first
time he wore tie his house burned down.
Now, this is no joke. 1 am telling you
what every one in Lake Charles knows TO

sawmill burned down. Then the festive
decorations about the collar were aband-

morning the necktie hater thought he
would again try his luck He put on a
bright fiashy decorator and started out.
But it was fatal While in the barber
shop getting shaved the dreaded fire boil
sounded, and it was announced that the
big sawmill of which Lem was the man

happy discovery. Ii enables the cabinet
to assume an encouraged dignity and
then insist upon reparation from Spain
without in any way committing itself on
the general question of Cuban politics.
1.-The letter was quite natural for Senior
de LONE to send and the impetuous and
high-handed proceedings of the Washing
ton government form an illustration of
the total contempt for good manners
which characterizes the state department.
In this case there energy is stimulated by
the opportunity to please the rabble of
their party without actually provoking
Spain to declare war"
The New York correspondent of the
Standard says: president Mckinley was
the coolest man in Washington and al
most exaggerated the slightness of the
personal offense in order to steady rant
ing congressman"
The Standard says editorially: THE re-
sponsibility for preventing the affair reach
ing dangerous phase appears to lie Who'll
ly with Spain. The sympathy of observ-
ers will be with President Mckinley rather
than Senior de LONE whose letter shows
he is destitute of the qualities required by
his profession. We confess we should like
TO know the facts as to the alleged theft
of the letter, whose opportune production
looks suspicious. But if its use were de-
signed to hasten the crisis the designers
seem to have gained nothing beyond a
change of minister's"

THREE LIGHTNING STORIES.
Melted "A watch I'm Pocket and
Hairpins in Use, and Bleached IA
NaDrOsS SHINE.


From the Denver Republican.
A party of commercial men lounged In
the easy chairs in the rotunda Of the
Brown Palace hotel last evening.
LAS 1 was going to remark" said the
cologne man, 81 was travelling in Texas a
few years ago, and spent day or two at
a place where a gang of men were build
ing a. new railroad. There were at least
two hundred of them On this particular
day a thunderstorm came up and "a bolt of
lightning struck almost in the center of
the men. A dozen or more of them were
stunned by the blow and knocked down.
One man. who was standing very near
where the bolt struck, and has clothes
burned little. He was all right In a few
minutes, and went about his work. About
quitting time he put his hand in has pock-
ct to look at his watch, and, much to his
SURPRISE found his pocket empty and the
bottom of it torn off. He went back to
where he fell when the lightning struck
and found a rough chunk of silver, all that
remained of his watch. The heat from the
lightning had evidently melted 1t, and it
burned it's way through the pocket and fell
to the ground"
eff this story won't convince you on the
spot have one that will" said the pork
packing man Of Kansas City
Before 1 go further let me state that
this story is an actual fact and no fooling.
In Arizona last summer Mrs. II. j. Allen,
wife of the financial agent of the United
Verde mine, was seated In a room with an
other woman sewing. A thunderstorm was
raging outside, when suddenly a clap of
thunder came ana a flash of light which
blinded the women sewing. After they had
recovered from the shock, Mrs. Allen found
that a bolt had come down the chimney,
and as il flew across the room 1t brushed
against her back hair and melted all the
hairpins that had held 1t uD a few mo-
ments before. A further investigation re-
vealed the fact that the bolt had struck
the corner of a bed in the adjoining rom
shattering the wood Strange as ii may
seem, Mrs. Aliens hair was not even sing
ed"
The other members of the party moved
uneasily in their chairs, excepting the Chi
cago man. Turning to his companions he
said:
while in Georgia year ago last spring
darby was struck by lightning and lives
to tell the tale He was riding home across
a cotton field during a thunderstorm when
bolt of lightning struck him between the
shoulders. 1t ran down his back, burned a
hole in the saddle, killing the mule under
him. He fell off the mule and walked home
in the train, bemoaning the loss of his suit
of Clothes which had been badly torn by
the lightning. Upon his arrival home when
he went to change his clothes his wife
made the discovery that the lightning had
made white stripe down his black back.
He carries that mark to this day"

BURIED BY SAND.
How Dunes Are Formed and Build
ings Are Covered.


From the Engineering Magazine.
Along the shores of oceans and other
large bodies of water, especially in the
region of the estuaries of large rivers,
there are usually immense masses of shift
ing sand. 1t is not within the scope of
this article to describe the formation of
these sand banks. 1t is sufficient to say,
therefore, that they usually begin as long
sandbars, behind which there are sheets
of still water. These shallow bays in the
course of time fill up with mud, becoming
salt marshes, intersected by thorough
fares, salt ponds and winding creeks. In
the meantime the long, fiat sandbars have
developed into sea islands, or beaches.
When the tide falls, the sand of the shore,
ground into powder by the waves, and
dried by the sun and wind, is blown in the
direction of the prevailing winds, usual
" inland. The sand moves like snow, I'M
til it meets an obstruction, when a dune,
or sand HILL forms, equal in hight to the
obstruction. A section through dune
shows a beautiful qualification, the sand
having been deposited in thin layers, al
ways varying, however, with the nature
of the sand, the velocity of the wind and
the distractions, large or small, which it
encounters. These dunes are not hurled
bodily by the breezes, but little by little,
forming and reforming, forward and back
ward, changing, in fact, with every ca
price of the wind, gentle and almost inn
perceptible during light sva breeze, but
a stinging, binding sand blast in times
of gale In spite, however, of all these
minor changes, the sand mass is generally
moving, perhaps, only a few inches a year,
in the direction of prevailing winds.

Letter Reported stolen From the
Envelope at Havana.
New York, Feb. 1O-The members of the
Cuban Junta are jubilant over the cap
ture of the letter of the Spanish minister
Dupuy de LONE. They gathered in large
numbers at their headquarters last night
and talked freely of the outcome of the
disclosures made from the letter.
T. Estrada Palma and Col Nunez were
not at the headquarters, and it is said
that they were in Washington prepared
to act on the giving out OF the letter and
push the claims of Cuba.
DR.. Castillo, who was in charge of the
headquarters refused to discuss the letter
All sorts of rumOrs were ahoat around
the Cuban headquarters. One of them was
to the effect that number of offers had
been made to get the letter out of the pos
session of the Junta, and that as high as
$40 900 had been offered for it.
How the Junta obtained the letter is be-
ing carefully guarded, and the exact facts
are known only to a few of the leaders
One account has it that the letter was
stolen In Havana. only the envelope being
forwarded to Madrid.
