The Fatal Apple Blossoms.

81 saw in the Star not long ago,
copied from New York paper said
lady living near Greeley, Pike coun-
ty, Pa, "a story about an apple tree
blossoming in October, and the fatal
results of it. The story was told as
coming from man, and he said that
an apple tree at his home had bios
somed some ten years before in Oct
tober, and shortly afterwards his wife
had died. It had not blossomed
again in October for several years,
and then within month his mother
had died. Then. there was another
lapse, and when he told the story
which was about the first of October
the tree was again in blossom and
he was greatly disturbed as to what
was going to happen next. Well
that story was mine and the reporter
put it in the name of man because
didn't want to appear in it. Two
weeks after l had told the story to a
party of friends, in which the report
er was, l went back home, and with
in a week the house took fire anG
burned to the ground. 1t was sc
sudden that we barely managed tc
get out with our lives, and our chic
articles of apparel were bath robe:
ana blankets. it was country place
and we had no means of putting ou
the fire, so everything was lost. Tht
only consolation We have is that .h'
fatal apple tree stood SO close to thu
house that it was burned to a crisp
and it, at least, will never again b.
the messenger of bad luck, howeve
much other trees may bring with
their October blossoms. One thing
am sure of, I was never superstition
before, but l confess to little Of
now, and l never want to see anothe
apple tree blooming in October if
belongs to me-"

The Stars and Stripes at Acre,

A good American had been making
some soul-stirring remarks about the
glorious Star Spangled Banner when
an Englishman who is pretty well
Americanized told a little story apro-
pos.
Yes he said, the Star Spangled
Banner is pretty good thing and you
don't have to push it along. either. It
does its own pushing, and the way
you'll almost said us Americans
glory in it. regardless of conditions
and circumstances, makes any man
feel good. remember once having
seen it applauded uproariously
on a peculiar occasion. 1t hap
pened thirty-fve years ago when the
British flag wasn't as popular in the
United States as it now is, and a
party of us Englisnmen were at Il
theatre in New York, considerably
further aown town tl.ln theatres are
now to be found on Broadway. The
play was Richard l., and if you re-
member-there is a scene in the play
where Richard, after putting his foes
to flight in terrific style, mounts the
walls of Acre and plants the British
cOlors there. Evidently the manage
ment knew the temper of the audi
ence, and felt that even under such
circumstances the British flag would
not be good thing, so what did they
do but give Richard the Star Span,
gled Banner, and, by all the gods, he
took it with him in the charge and
planted it on Acres walls. 1t was
ridiculous, of course, and we English
men laughed, but the audience took
| it quite as the correct thing, and the
way the people stolmed and shouted
and clapped was enough to have
made Richard turn over in his grave
| Historically it was away off, dramati
cally it was open to criticism, but pa
triotically it was bowling success.

in to the base of the brain, the in
jured man then fell to the bottom ol

INJURED BY
AN EXPLOSION
The Old Story Of Dynamite in
the Stove.
FORBIS AND LONG
Resign Their Positions as Trustees of the
State School of Mines Don't
Like Boards Action.

Butte, Dec. 21.-Dynamite exploded
in cabin near Bernice tonight and
two Finlanders, who occupied it were
badly injured. The dynamite was in
stove and the men were made a
target for shower of iron that struck
nearly every portion of their bodies.
The men left Butte some days ago to
prospect for themselves, and for
Butte parties. They took possession
of a cabin about four and and half
miles south and west of Bernice. 1t
had not been occupied for year and
half. 1t was in good condition,
however, and there was stove in it.
Tonight for the first time they light
| ed fire in the stove in order to
cook their supper. Almost the mo-
ment the light was touched to the
wood there was an explosion and the
men were blown out of the building.
One of the men who managed to say
that his name was Leander Michael,
who was not SO badly injured as his
companion and soon recovered COLI
seriousness, crawled on his hands and
knees over the hard ground and
through the freezing air for half a
mile to the county road, which leads
to the Lockhart ranch. He was un-
able to continue and feeling that he
would be frozen to death, he shouted
a sloudly as he could for help. He
shouted for probably half an hour
before his cries were heard, then
William Holmes, Charles Hoadley AMI
several other men who live in a
cabin half mile from where Michael
lay came to his assistance. Holmes
carried him to his cabin, while his
companions went to the relief of the
other man, who was also taken to
Holmes cabin. There the men were
made as comfortable as possible and
after short time were taken to this
city in a wagon and left at the sis
ters hospital.

cation don't like their way of doing
