STORM ON THE LAKES.
fail End Of the Texas Cyclone Wrecks
Vessels.

Cleveland, Sept. 13.-TwelVe lives
lost on two vessels hat %foundered,
four steamers terribly frightened, a
dozen freighters badly battered and
several members of their crews injur-
ed, six almost drowned on breakwa-
ters-these are some incidents of the
passing over Lake Erie of the terrific
storm that wrecked a dozen Texas cit
les and blotted out thousands of lives.
The two ships that were unable to
weather the storm were the steamer
John B. Lyons and the schooner Dun
dee.
The Lyons foundered six miles
northeast of Conneaut, eleven of the
crew of sixteen being drowned. The
remaining five drifted ashore in a
boat near Girard, Pa, after a desper-
ate struggle for their lives.
The Dundee sank eleven miles west
of Cleveland and Kate Hoffman, the
cook, was drowned. The captain and
six members of the crew were rescued
from her rigging after clinging for
hours to the ~spray-wet shrouds.
The steamer City of Erie of the
Cleveland & Buffalo line arrived yes
terday afternoon with a hole ten feet
long and nearly half as wide stove in
her bow, high up above the water line.
She was beaten back by the wind ind
obliged to cross TO the north shore for
safety. The water washed through her
cabins and her passengers we're panic
stricken.
The big steamer Northland did not
attempt to get into Cleveland harbor
at all, but went on to Detroit.
h passengers on all these steam
ers were terrified by their experience.
Life preservers were tied on and many
prayed desperately to be saved. Scan.
tily clad men and women left their
state rooms and hauled in the saloons
in panic stricken groups.
Several big f%reighters had narrow
escapes from laundering. The steam
er Glidden, which was towing the Ill.
fated schooner Dundee, managed to
make harbor after losing her consort,
although she had a hard time doiD.
it.
Six men engaged in making repa.r
to machinerey in use on repairs to
the west breakwater4had a narrow es.
cape from drowning. They chung for
hours to the breakwater, with the
waves dashing over them, and they
were almost ready to give up when
rescued. The gale reached its highest
about 1910 Wednesday morning
when it bew 60 mics an hour. Last
evening the wind died away to a brisk
breeze and ships that had been storm
bound again left port.

l. OF MANS LIFE

The supreme courts have recently de-
cided that the life Of the average man
is worth just what he is able to earn.
A mans earnings depend to a great
extend upon his health, and it is al
ways within his power to improve his
condition. The stomach is the meas-
ure of health and strength. Every man
may be bright, active and happy, II
his digestion is normal. If it is not,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will make
it so. 1t puts the digestive organs in
condition to properly digest and as
simulate food. Try it for constipation,
indigestion, dyspepsia, biliousness,

HE WAS ARM ED.


Highwaymen Compelled to Obey n Ger
man Tourist.
In the days when highwaymen were
more numerous and successful in Mex
leo than they are at present, it was the
common practice of the natives to
travel unaTmed and to submit tamely
to robbery. With foreigners a differ
ent sentiment prevailed. The author
OF "Mexicans at Home" tells a good
story of a German who Travelled in
that country. This gentleman always
carried arms, with every intention of
using them rather than allow himself
to be robbed. On one occasion. when
he was travelling by diligence in the
interior-he being the only passenger
armed-the coaChman suddenly pulled
up and announced hat robbers were
in sight. The German prepared to de
fend the coach. but the other passen-
gers begged him not to do so. as this
might compromise them. Consequent
ly. when the robbers came UP he
jumped out, and going to the side Of
the road. called out that they were
quite welcome to rob all the other
passengers, but hat they would
please first take down his port
manteau and place it beside him. This
they did; and when they had robbed
the others. he ordered that his port
manteau should be replaced, which
was done. He hen took his seat in
the coach. and the journey was re-
sumed.-Youth's Companion.
