AFTER THE STORM is OVER
Good and had Results of Last Nights
Racket and Rain.

The rain last night was lust what
the doctor ordered. The only COM
plant that could be made was that
too much noise attended the delivery
of the goods. 1t was an extreme
ly severe electrical storm. The light
ming flashed, the thunder roared-it
sounded like unto 4 naval lombard
ment-and the heavens wept, and
they wept long and copiously. The
benefit to vegetation is inestimable.
and today the grass that previous to
the rain had not shown any signs of
life has bobbed up smiling to spend
the summer in our midst.
The most damage was done by
lightning. Many telephones were
burned out, while the police and fire
alarm system was completely dis
abled, and in order to prevent more
serious consequences or possible ac-
cidentsw as cut out of commission I'M

also burned out. among them the one

tune moment, as the latter portion of
the edition was being run. aud occas-

Mrs. William Beebc, who lives in a

in a kennel moored near the shore.
The storm blew the kennel away, and

Very Hard to Understand,

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
1t is very seldom that a police judge
looks sorrowful or al a loss what to do,
but when Bernard McQuade and Hugh
O'Donnel went before Judge Holt in the
police court the case appeared to present
no adequate remedy within his power.
Both boys had been in the work house
before and were in trouble again.
Don't you know that YOU are throw
ing yourselves away?' asked the court
of ODonnell
Yes, sir; I know it,
"Why did you get in this trouble.

"Oh, I just started out on a drunk"
do your parents live here?'
Yes. my mother is a widow. 7 have
been working and can get employment. 1t
was just my drinking
McQuade had his hands swathed in
bandagcs to cover up the wounds made
by cut glass, when he smashed in the
window of Il Second street saloon where
the boys had had trouble and been put
out.
Did you have drinks there?" asked
the court.
Some fellows treated us and we called
for beer and were served by the bartend-
er. We only had one there. We started on
Whiskey."
"Wherc did You get your whiskcy?"
"A man named Johnson gave ii to us
and we drank it in Il hallway"
"McQuade." said the court. your case
is as bad as the other boys, or worse
You have kind parents who have paid
several fines for you, and are willing and
anxious to give you an education. Have
you good home?'
Yes
"Have YOU any fault to find with it?"
None
"You are just deliberately wrecking
human life. and think you have a right to,
because that human life is your own. |

The boys were led out and the court
ordered steps taken for the issuing of Il

where the window was broken and where
the boys secured their beer

FRANK GouLD's DOGS.
owns the Most Valuable Kennel of st
Rernards in Existence.

From the Chicago Journal.
While George Gould goes in for
pointers his younger brother, Frank,
IS an enthusiastic fancier of rough and
smoooth-coated St Bernards AS a
matter of fact, Frank now has a more
valuable collection of dogs than George,
his Kennel of st. Demands at Lynd-
hurst, the family home near Irvington-
on-the-Hudson, being worth over $685.
oo0. The kennel is easily one of the
finest collections of st. Demands in ex-
istence. 1t includes LIE Prince, La
La Princesse, Santa Monica, and Mar
blecraft. Most of Mr.. Gould's excep-
tlonally valuable dogs were imported
by c. A. Pratt of Little Rock, Ark,
owner of the Argyle kennels from
Leeds, England. LIE Prince and Mar
blecraft are valued at $4,000; La Primo
esse at $1,000, and Santa Monica at
So, OOO
Chantrel Prince is the pride of the
Gould household. He is the canine
beauty that Walter johnson, keeper of
the Gould kennels, risked his life to
save when in Chicago recently.
Frank is now a member of the re-
Gently organized ST. Bernard club of
which Colonel Jacob Rupert is presi-
dent and Mr. Pratt is vice president
This youngest member of the Gould
family promises to become as ia
nous as his brother in the world of
wholesome sports. He has the same
love for animals characteristic of the
other Gould boys. and now that he is
in possession of his own private for
tune of $4,000 600 he can afford to give
his hobby full play.

Fair Chances for a Husband.
From the Ladies' Home Journal.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
The number of male infants born
yearly exceeds that of females by l
to per cent, the proportion varying
slightly from year to year. The mis-
haps of boyhood, however, reduce the
number of boys to some extent, but not
so much as to make the adult females
outnumber the males. For every Amer
lean woman, therefore. there ought to
be husband in posse if not in esse,
and the fact that there is a large per-
centage of unmarried adult women in
the country, and a greater proportion
ate number in some sections than in
Others is attributable to causes which
have disturbed the balance of popula-
ton. In all new countries-and COM
pared with Europe the United States
is new country-there among their
new friends in the West: hence some
of the Eastern states show a surplus
of females.
