Facts Worth Knowing.

The following from the Mime
apolis Tribune may be valuable
to you some day. Cut it out and
paste it in your hat. It says:
When tornado comes never
run always run north or
south. The chance of tornado is
about one half in 100 years, but
when they do come there are
forewarnings that are very
plain. The air feels gummy,
clammy. 1t is hard to breathe.
Gusts of wind come up suddenly
from the south and die away as
suddenly. It grows tensely
silent, then with a long roaring
sound the tornado sweeps down
and it is time to run. Never
run east no matter what happens.
The tornado always comes from
the southeast and travels by a
circular path to the northeast,
and a 25 mile run is generally
enough to tire it out. By run
ing west or northwest you are
far more certain to get outside
the pathway Of the wind storm.
Go into the cellar of a frame
house and get into the southwest
corner. Then the flying ruins
Of the house as it is swept away
will be piled up in the northeast
or east side of the cellar, and
leave the occupants uninjured.
Brick houses collapse and are
therefore DANCE erous to
hide in. Tornadoes generally
come about 6 p. m. almost never
at night. The conditions caus-
ing a tornado are hot weather,
low barometer and hots winds
from the south for several days.
The longer this lasts the greater
the danger. The air is full Of
slow sailing clouds, and feels
sticky, and people are nervous.
This uneasiness is felt by a per-
fectly we'll persons, and it is a
sign that something is wrong
with the atmosphere, and will
right itself in a pretty violent
manner.

Every once in a while occurs trag-
edy that startles US by seeming i'm
possible conditions. One of these
lately brought to light is that of the
shooting of a father by girl Is years
of age in the Black Hills country
Lena Bouts the Is year old girl who,
in the latter part of May, shot and
killed her father, Frank Bouts, a
prominent contractor, at their home
in the extreme western portion OF Pen
nington county, together with her four
brothers and two sisters has arrived
here in charge of Miss Alice Jewell,
and been placed in the Sioux Falls
Children's Home. The Bouts children
are aged respectively 3, 5, s, IL, Is
and Is. Lena was assisted in COM
mitting the crime by her il year old
brother, Nicholas. The weapon used
was the father rifle. The boy cooked
the weapon, as he had seen his father
do, and, while he steadied it, Lena
fired it from rear window at her ia
ther. killing him. The facts concern
ing the home life of this family show
them to have lived more like barbara
ans than civilized beings. Their home
was log house of two rooms, desti-
tute of floor. In one corner was a
spring, the water from which kept the
ground in the interior soft and muddy
to depth of six inches or more, one
or two planks serving as means OF
walking across the room without the
necessity of stepping into the mud.
Such clothing as the children poss ss-
ed was crudely manufactured out OF
old gunny sacks and the like, being
barely sufficient to cover their naked
ness. Bouts occupation was the cut
ting Of ties for mines, and in this work
he compelled his wife and children,
| except the three younger ones, to as
sist. The children say that their sister
Ida could hew ties as good as any
man. He frequently struck and kick
ed his wife and children, even the babe
in arms not escaping his brutality.
Some Of the children yet carry upon
their bodies the marks Of his cruel
blows. Bouts was arrested several
times and taken into Justice court for
maltreating his family, but this SEEM
ed to do no good.
