DEATH LIST RUNS HIGH
More Than Hundred Victims OF
English Storms.

London, Nov. 13.--The gale which
has been sweeping over Great Britain
and Ireland for the past two days
continues undated at many coast
points. Over the Welch lowlands the
torrential rains are increasing, caus-
ing disastrous floods. Reports OF
wrecks and casualties continue to
flow in. l'he death list, made up of
threes and tours. has an aggregate
approaching 100. The mailboat Nord,
from Dover for Calais, which ran
down the lightship of the works OF
the new Dover pier, has succeeded
in returning to Dover. The mails and
passengers are safe. The crew OF
the lightship was also landed, after
passing "a terrible night at sen in a
small boat.
The British steamship Stelveo has
been beached at Dover. She is high
and dry across the parade.
A French bark struck off Hendon.
Nineteen of the crew were drowned.
Numerous other wrecks have been
reported, but the weather in most
eases prevents the Identification OF
the craft. Two vessels in distress
were sighted lasp evening off Dunge-
moss, but the weather was so severe
that the life-boat was. unable to put
to their assistance. One of them
sank. The other, a steamer, reached
West Bay, where a tug is now stand
ing by her.
The Swedish bark, Trio, was driven
ashore at West Hartlepool, Durham,
and was broken up. Three of her
crew were washed ashore alive, while
the remaining seven were drowned
in sight of thousands of spectators,
who were powerless to help them, all
attempts at rescue with rockets car
rying life-saving lines having failed.

The Need of Men.

God give us men! A time like this
demands
Strong minds. great hearts, true faith
and ready hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not
kill,
Men who possess opinions and
will:
Men who have honor, men who will
not lie;
Men who can stand before a dema-
gogme,
And damn his treacherous batteries
without winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned. who live
above the fog
In public duty and in private think
ing;
For while the rabble, swith their
thumbwOrn creeds,
Their large professions and their lit
tie deeds,
Mingle in selfish strife-lo Freedom
weeps,
Wrong rules the land, and waiting
Justice sleeps.

The numerous relatives and
friends throughout Marion,

regret to learn. of the death of
Prof. Horace Hager, who die d
Oct. 25th, of typhoid fever in
Dallas. Texas at the home of
his mother. The deceased was
born in Rails County in 1859,
moved to Kansas in 1874 wi tn
his father and family and locat-
ed near st. Mary's Mission,
where he received the greater
part of his education. Of the
family, his mother, four brot H.
ers and three sisters surviv e
him. Horace was intelligent,
high minded, generous, a man
of exemplary habits, the pride
of his mother, who is a sister of
Judge Bell of this place. He
stood highly as a teacher and
leaves a host of friends who
deeply sympathize with his
mother and family in this sad
hour of their bereavement.

The disappearance of Demo

Missouri cities is a matter Of
little concern. With the eX.
ceptiOn of the Kansas City
Times, which was straight"
for Il brief period, Missouri has
not had Democratic Platform
metropolitan newspaper since
1896, but the country weeklies
and smaller dailies Of the state
have shown their ability to
look well after the party's in.
terests without the assistance
of the big daiIies. whose editor
al columns, in most cases, are
controlled by the counting
room. The country newspa
pers reach the people. The
people have learned to trust
them, and while the city dailies
are read for general news, the
editorial department is no long
err, as was the case in the long
ago, accepted as Democratic
gospel.
1t would, Of course, be ad.
vantageous to the party to
have an honest newspaper re.
preventative in each of the
great cities of the state, but by
no means necessary to party
success.
In 1896 the party's battle in
Missouri were fought by the
country press Result, sweep

In 1900 victory was again
achieved without a metropol.

OF the Kansas City Times, to
defend the party's platform.
And this record can be kept

newspapers, but it cannot buy

"A Chinaman In San Francisco" says
Q gossiper In the Philadelphia Record,
showed me once an ivory ball as big
as your two fists, with six smaller balls
inside 1t. 1t was the most wonderful
thing / ever saw. The Chinaman said
that the balls had been begun by his
grandfather and that he was the third
generation to work on them. He told
me how the work was done.
1T begins with a solid block of ivory,
which Is turned into a ball and then
carved In latticed pattern with tiny
saw toothed knives. Through the lat
tice, with other knives that are bent in
various shapes, the second ball Is cary
ed, but Is kept fast to the first one by
a thin strip of ivory left at the top and
by another left at the bottom. Then
the third bah, with still finer knives, Is
tackled through the first and second
ones, and so the work goes on till all
the balls are finished, when the strips
that hold them firm are cut away, and
they all revolve freely, one inside the
other.
This Chinaman said 1t was a COM
mon thing for families to have such
balls for hundreds of years-grandfa-
Their, father, son and grandson working
on them when they had nothing else to
do. They are priceless, of course. Some
cheap balls are made of vegetable ivo-
ry, being carved while the material is
soft, like a potato. These, though, are
not worth more than a few dollars at
the most"

The Evolutiop of the Pock.t-

The ancient wore a single pouch at
his belt. The modern has-how many
pockets In an ordinary costume for out
doors? Let us count them: In the
trousers five, In the waistcoat five, in
the jacket five, In the overcoat five,
making 20 in all, full score of little
pokes or bags, and arranged so conven-
iently that they are scarce noticed.
Truly this is an evolution! How long
may 1t be before we have pockets IN
our hatbands-where the Irishman car
ries his pipe. the American soldier his
toothbrush and internally the pettifog-
ger his legal papers. the papers that
his predecessors In England thrust into
the typical green bagT How long
before there may be pockets in our
gloves-for there are, / believe, patents
covering this invention-and In our
shoes? The cane also. with its screw
top, begins to be useful receptacle.
Two centuries from now, so the man
with a long foresight can clearly see.
the main idea underlying the wearing
of clothes will have entirely changed.
The chief purpose of garments will no
longer be considered to protect the
body. They will be regarded first of all
as textile foundations for innumerable
pockets.-Tudor jerks in Woman's
Home Companion.
