Three Rules For Fishing.

one day rs the Rev. Mark Guy
Pearse Of London was strolling along a
river bank he saw an old man fishing
for trout and pulling the fish out one
after the other briskly. You manage
it cleverly, old friend" he said. II
have passed q good many below who
don't seem to be doing anything"
The old man lifted himself up and
stuck his rod in the ground. well, you
see, sir, there be three rules for fish
ing, and tits no good trying it If you
don't mind them. The first is, Keep
yourself out Of sight; the second is,
Keep yourself further out Of sight, and
the third is. Keep yourself further out
Of sight still. Then you'll do it."

A DOMESTIC EXPERIENCE.
The Reason One WOmnn's Cook Was
Dissatisfied with Her PIncc.

"This is Il queer age we live in,"
sighed n young housekcepcr. "We've
just lost a very good cook for q very
absurd reason, think. She came to
us about four months ago and was
satisfactory in every way-neat, in
dustrious, respectful and last, but
foremost, an excellent cook.
AS she was so very quiet / could
not tell whether or not she was as
we'll pleased with us as we were with
her, but about six weeks ago the trou-
BILE began. She asked me suddenly
one day why we entertained so sell
dom.
"'Ella,' l said, we don't care to en-
terrain except few choice friends
now and then. 1t costs more than we
can afford, and we really don't care
for it,
Your house is just as handsome as
anybody's,' she went on. Other peo-
pie that I've lived with entertained all
the time, and their houses weren't
near as pretty or as nice as yours.
You never have anything but club
meeting once in awhile. Why don't
you have teas and receptions, Mrs.
Blank?'
81 reiterated my two reasons-that
we couldn't spend money in that way
and that we preferred simple amusc-
ments. Ella didn't seem satisfied, but
the matter was dropped. Last Mon
day she asked to spend week at
home with her sick aunt, and, as I
couldn't we'll refuse, she departed. To-
day received postal card from her
couched in these words:
Dear Mrs. Blank-My aunt is better,
but 1 m not coming back. I've got q moro
stylish place."

PERPETUAL MOTION.
one Inventor Has Accomplished It
by IIarnessins "a Cyclone.


by IIarnessinS a Cyclone.
1t was during the portion OF his ca
rcer when he lived in the valley of tho
south fork Of the Big Suntlower river
that Henry Plymshaw, the inventor,
made his most notable invention. This
invention had to do with cyclones.
One afternoon Inventor Plymshaw
saw splendid specimen of funnel
cyclone coming over the prairie, and he
called to me and said he would go out
and study it, since it was evident that
it was going to one side. The instant
the cyclone sighted us it came straight
in our direction. We weren't prepared
for this exactly, so all we could do was
10 run. We were just on the point Of
giving up when Il most extraordinary
thing happened. Curious thing. Sort Of
natural too. And there it was. Only
one leg, and that down fifty foot well
in the middle Of sheep pasture. If it
had had two legs, no doubt it could
have scrambled out, but it couldn't
make it with one. Couldn't do any
thing except revolvc. And it did do
that. | never saw a cyclone revolve like
that one. Mad apparently because it
had missed Plymshaw and me and got
caught. SO it just buZzed around like Il
top. Nothing in the world. to stop it.
Most mcn-mcrc men of action
would have been satisfied at getting
away and not having to revolve with
the houses and lots, but not Plymshaw.
No He got to thinking. and what was
the result? Put Il belt around the stem
OF that cyclone Just at the top of the
we'll, set up Il dynamo, strung wire and
ran all the machinery and electric
lights in that part of the country. Reg
ular Niagara for power. Going yet.
Nothing to stop it, you see. Wonderful
what Il thing mind ISL. V. Mari in

PECULIAR
ACCIDENT
Train Hurled From Track by a
Tornado.
WRECK TOOK FIRE
Two Persons Killed. Three Fa-
tally and More Than a Score
Seriously Injured.

Waseca, MINI. Two persons we're
killed, three were fatally injured and
more than a score of others hurt in the
wreck Of a train which had been
hurled down an embankment by tor
nado.
Train No. 7, westbound, on the
Chicago and Northwestern Railway,
consisting of locomotive. baggage car
and two crowded passenger coaches,
was struck by the tornado while run
ming at the rate of 35 miles an hour,
two miles from Meridian. The pas
senger and baggage cars were hurled
Is feet down the embankment to the
fence guarding the right of way. A
brakeman had been lighting the
lamps when the crash came, and the
wreckage was ignited by the spilling
oil.
The engineer is reported to have
seen the tornado in apparent pursuit
of the train and scarcely an instant
before the cyclone wind struck the
cars, the train gave lurch in a sud-
den squirt to evade the funnel shaped
ury.
Fully an hour and a half elapsed
before wrecking train arrived. Tie
locomotive did not leave the track,
the baggage car and passenger coaches
having been twisted off as if by giant
hands and hurled downward to til g
bottom of the embankment. The
baggage car wss shattered to splint-
ers. Two dead bodies we're jammed
in the wreckage and their bodies were
cut out with axes. Ii is feared that
more bodies may be found underneath
the debris and wrecking gangs sent
from Waseca are at work on the
crushed cars.
The brakeman who was lighting the
lamps in one of the passenger coach
es, which the tornado struck, cannot
be found tonight. It is feared his
body may be in the wreckage. Pas
sengers saw him hurled against the
underside of the coach with terrific
force and at the same time the lamp
he had been trimming was crushed.
Oil from the vessl was ignited by the
flames on the wick and to the horror
and terror of death by violence was
added the danger by fire for the vic
TINS who were imprisoned in the
wreckage. But the men who were the
first to pick their way out of the splin-
ters extinguished the flames before
attempting aid the surviving.
