bolt of lightning.
The victims were fishing in Lake
Michigan at the foot of MontrOse
boulevard on the north side. The "a.

were seated and all were thrown into
the lake.
A policeman, attracted to the pier
by crashing timbers, found it impos
sible to rescue any of the victims. The
heavy timbers of the pier had been
shattered, and the whole structure
toppled into the water. He hurried to
a patrol box and called for assistance
Nearly half an hour elapsed before
aid arrived. The work of recovering
the bodies was extremely difficult, but
finally all were carried ashore.
The storm broke the hot wave.
Owing TO the terrific thunderstorm
prevalent the work of Identification
was extremely slow.
Oppressed by the extreme heat the
boys had gone in bathing. When the
rain began to fall and it became eyi

coming, they rushed to a shelter they
had built on the pier. Willie Ander

The Hens DeIusion,

Ephraim Knox lived in the center of
his native village, and his hens wan
dered here and there at their own sweet
will, to the frequent annoyance of his
neighbors. Ephraim, however, was no
respecter of persons, and considered his
hens ''as good as anybody" and de-
sirable visitors.
When 1t was decided that the town
library should be built in a vacant lot
next door to him. Ephraim was filled
with pride and joy, and he and his hens
superintended operations from the first.
Ephraim's brother Seth was not de-
voted to hens. One day he was passing
the site of the library with friend and
stopped to view the progress of affairs
Ephraim's hens were there, cackling
away as if their lives depended ON it.
Seth looked at them in disgust.
"What in the world are those hens
making such a noise for. do you sup
pose? There amt any grain in there"
said the friend.
''Well," remarked Seth, dryly, "they
we had the oversight of most every
thing in town. You know the corner
stone of the building was laid yester-
day, and l calc-late that speckled hen
over there thinks she laid itr'
