MAXWELL.
A report came in from the tile yard
one day recently of a little occurrence
that might have been serious. but as Il
was, nothing but a scare resulted. 1t Is
the custom to loosen the clay by
charge of dynamite deep down IN the
bank On this occasion it seems the
charge was not placed deep enough
and instead of rendering the big bank
as is usually the case, the surface was
blown to the sky. One of the workmer
declares that shower of clay KEEP,
coming down for fifteen minutes. bu
the Others says his time piece was dis.
! turbed by the conclusion and did MOI
| record the time accurately. AT any rate
descending chunks of clay penetrated
the factory roof, leaving holes alnios'
as large as a mans body, and it's
lucky thing that no one was driven in
to the ground.

! to the comfort of the patrons, and the
store force to attempt to exterminate
them, and their presence caused nc
small amount of alarm. Between walt

the clerks had lively time. After the
| rush of business was over, quiet at
| tack was made upon the intruders with
| a pc IL of water. Slowly and cautiously
they were given a shower bath which
