jured. Two negroes UP in No. 7
were at work clearing some land
for Mr.. Harris when they noticed
the approaching clouds. BY the
time they could hitch up the wagon
the wind was almost blowing a
gale. AS they were going out of
the woods a tree was blown down
on the wagon, killing one of the ne
groes and mule outright, and
breaking several bones for the 9th
er negro, besides decorating the
side of the other mule with a Jagged
limb, The team belonged to Mr..
Harris and was beng used by one
of his foremen, Mr.. Rankin.
There were also two other deaths.
Two little negro boys were out
fishing on the lake when the wind
came up. The wind caught the
trail boat and capsized it, and the
boys were drowned. Their bodies
have been recovered.-Lake County

The regular meeting OF the Rhode ISL

In the small hall OF tho Y. NJ. c. A. yes
terday afternoon with a small attendance.
The meeting was called primarily for
the purpose OF hearing from the con-
vention recently held in Washington and
IL was expected that Rev. Anna Garlin
Spencer and Mrs. A. G. Dewing the
president of the association, would be
present TO report the proceedings at
Washington.
After some delay, however, 1t was
learned that neither Mrs. Spencer nor
Mrs. DeIing had returned from Wash
ington and Mrs. Jewett, secretary of the
association, finally called the meeting to
order and Mrs. Janette French of Paw
tucket, one OF the vice presidents of the
association, was asked TO preside.
After some minor matters of business
were disposed of Mrs French. who was
also delegate 10 the convention at
Washington, gave an interesting account
OF the proceedings of the same. In this
connection she described the picturesque
old First Presbyterian church at WASH
ington, where the sessions of the conyen-
tion were held. She then told of the
personnel OF the convention.

The Point of the Joke.

party OF Englishmen were in Chicago
sightseeing some time ago. They were en-
tertained at dinner by some Chicago Eng
lishmen who have lived in America long
enough to have a keen appreciation OF
the American idea of a joke During the
evening all the members of the party told
stories or sang songs and entertained ac-
cording to their several abilities.
One of the English visitors could see
nothing funny In the stories told by the
Chicago Englishmen. Every time one OF
them would tell a good American story
at which most of the party would laugh
uproariously this particular Ensllshman
would adjust his monocle TO his eye and,
looking wonderingly around the table.
would remark But, | say, l don't see
anything I'm that TO laugh at, v knaw."
One of the Chicago men finally reci.ed
an original poem. The poem told of an
Englishman who had come to America
and after being i'm this country only u
short time had died and gone 10 another
and much warmer country. Ten years
passed. and one day an imp pass
ing that way heard the Engllshman
laughing uproariously.
"Why, what are you laughing at?" In
quree the imp.
"Oh, oh, oh, such funny story as I
heard In America. Oh, II was so funny!"
laughed the victim, and he held his hands
10 his side and almost doubled up with
merriment.
"A story you heard! Why. you've heard
no story" said the imp. You've been
dead ten years"
Yes. yes, ! know, | know" cried the
man. but I've Just seen the joke"
This poem set the table In roar.
Amid all the laughing and shouting the
obtuse visitor adjusted his monocle and
dra Nled out But 1 say I don't see any,
thing funny I'm that, v knaw"
NO" replied the man who had read
the poem as quick as a fash. "Of course
you don't. You haven't been dead ten
years" And even tho obtuse Englishman
saw the point.-Chicago Tribune.

Safe Trusts Lock Expert.

II there is any man i'm the world that
could transform himself into an efficient
burglar, II Is the expert on combinations
up in the office of the safe trust" says
the New York Times.
This man knows more about locks and
vaults than all the bank robbers in the
country. He can open a safe I'm Boston
by telephone In five minutes, ordinarily.
If bank in Philadelphia loses its combi-
nation, there IL a tumutuous ringing of
phone bells I'm the trusts office, and
the boy at the switchboard shouts wildly
for the expert.
"Well, what Is it?" the opener OF vaults
shouts into the mouthpiece, his tone
showing that he is accustomed to such
calls This IL the - bank. The
presidents gone home, and the cashiers
sick I'm Mr. - Give me the figures,
please" The opener satisfies himself that
the right man is on the other end. Then
he looks up his records, IL he does not
happen TO remember the figures wanted
Ii is only matter of few minutes
before he r. back at the phone, and in
as many more minutes the vault In Phili-
delphia is opened.
IL happened the other day that Bos-
ton trust company was In trouble about
its combination. The safe concern was
called up, and the lock expert was sum-
moned TO the receiver. The usual request
followed but by some chance the opener $
good memory had forsaken him. and he
had no record of the particular lock In
question. The Boston officials swore
loudly over the wire. IL was no use,
though, and finally they had TO give It
up.
Not long after the wire had been vacat-
ed there was another ring. and the opener
found himself In conversation with the
same people. This time II was request
that he come TO Boston at once hiring a

had TO borrow all the cash they needed
from other companies The incon-
veniences they endured by reason Of in-
