STONES m THE ROAD.
Telling Everybody of Your Little
Trials and Troubles Is n Per-
nictous Habit.

The two boys were drawing their
small wagon, full of packages from
the grocery, slowly up the road toward
home. The older one pushed forward
steadily, but the younger was con-
stantly hopping first on one foot and
then on the other, and complaining
that the pebbles on the road hurt his
bare feet. At last his brother turned
upon him with a mingling of reproof
and contempt:
Course there's stones in the roadi"
he said, There's always stones in the
road, and every feller that comes along
has to get over 'em the best way he
can. You don't have to howl and tell
everybody whenever you strike one;
that doesn't help any,"
But many an older one than Bobby
has failed to learn that lesson, and we
all have acquaintance whom we can
not meet without hearing a full ac-
count of the last pebble they have
struck. The maid has gone, or the
furnace doesn't work, or they couldn't
sleep last night with the toothache.
Discomforts, all of them, but the road
is full of such things, and telling ev-
erybody only fills the air with COM
plants, and helps not at all. Get over
the small troubles silently. - Well

ther from the dwelling than the
housekeeper would be likely to place
it if n trip to it were necessary every
time any refuse was to be disposed
of. In this arrangement large can
is stationed as far as possible from
the house, with n wire strung tight

bracelet secured to the wall near
the kitchen door or a convenient win
dow. On this wire runs small re-
ceptacie, with a cord wound on a
reel to control it's journeys to and

The small can has hinged bottom,
which is ordinarily closed and held
in position by latch, but as the can
slides down the inclined wire this
latch comes in contact with the trip
ping rod above the receiving can,
when the weight of the garbage i'm
mediately drops the bottom and al
lows the can to empty itself. The
bottom is then automatically closed
by spring contained in the hinge

LOSS OF LIFE HEAVY.
Many Vessels Wrecked in Storm on
South African Coast-Fifty Bod
les Washed Ashore.

Cape Town, Sept. Eighteen ves-
sells, mostly sailing craft, have been
driven ashore in gale at Port Eliza
beth. Five of them were dashed to
pieces and all the members of their
crews were lost. Two tugs also are
reported to have foundered, and a
score of lighters are ashore.
Sir John Gordon Sprigg, the pre-
mier, said in the house of assembly
Monday afternoon that he feared the
loss of life from the gale would be
enormous.
The storm broke shortly before
midnight Sunday night and was ac-
compahied by deluge of rain and
brilliant lightning. The night was
very dark. Several tugs went out to
the assistance of the endangered
vessels, but nothing was visible from
the shore at Port Elizabeth, except
the continual flashes of rockets as
signals of distress. Daylight re-
vealed the beach at the north end
of Algoa bay strewn with vessels ly-
ing high and dry, while others were
in the surf and being swept by the
huge breakers. With the exception
of four vessels which foundered with
all hands, every sailing vessel in the
roadstead was ashore by midday
Many steamers, after weathering the
storm all night, steamed out to sea
at daybreak. Fifty bodies have al
ready been washed ashore.

The Johnson men were opposed
only in the selection of the commit
tee on resolutions and members of
the new state central committee and
in some districts these contests were
closer and more bitter than expected.
The johnson men secured il of the 81
state committeeman, with three COLI
tested cases now pending, and n
greater proportion of those on the
committee on resolutions.
The johnson men during the day
made no concessions and in some
cases gave no quarter" to their OPP
ponents. This caused the minorities
on the two committees named at first
to fight, but the fighting was soon
over. When the roll of the committee
| on resolutions was called the MEM
bers of the First, Third and Eleventh
districts opposed the endorsement of
Bryan and the Kansas City platform,
and other Johnson planks, but the
johnson platform finally carried
without changes and will he so re-
ported to the convention and adopted
without any minority report or other
| obstruction. 1t has been customary
always first to appoint n sub-commlt-
tee of three or five to draft platform
and report the same to the full COM
mittee, but that was found not neces-
sary, as Mayor Johnson handed the
| full committee his draft" and the
full committee soon completed its
work.
The platform, as it came from May
or johnson was agreed to by vote
of 16 to of the committee on reso-
lutions. The resolutions favor new
municipal code for Ohio cities, with
home rule as the cardinal principle
and the federal plan as secondary and
denounce what is called municipal
] government by boards" They also
denounce the proposition of perpetual
franchises and favor such charters be-
ing subject to popular votes.

sidered as n special thrust at John r

an appropriation for these men. So
far as Smith Bennett is concerned, he

GRAHAM'S GREAT FEAT.
The Noted Swimmer SUCCESSFULLY
Breaks the Waves of the
Lower Rapids.

Niagara Falls, n. Y, Sept Car
Isle ID. Graham swan from the whirl-
pool, below Niagara falls, through the
lower rapids to Lewiston Sunday aft
ernoon. Graham made better swim
than he did on the 9th of September,
1901, when Maude Willard attempted
to navigate the upper rapids in Gra-
hams barrel, and was suffocated. Gra-
ham Sunday wore a life preserver
about his waist and a neck float He
entered the water at 3:17. The swift
running current whirled the swimmer
to the center of the stream, and for
nearly half an hour Graham battled
with the waves. AS far as the Devils
Hole it appeared comparatively easy
for Graham, and then he plunged into
rough water that many times hid him
from sight. Only once, however, was
he in danger. A current suddenly
tossed him toward the shore, danger
ously near big boulder that showed
threateningly above the surface. BY
desperate swimming he just avoided
the rock and was carried on down
stream. Below the Devils Hole, where
the river narrows, Graham had an
other hard battle. For time he was
completely hidden from view, and the
hundreds of spectators on the bridge
and along the banks grew greatly ex-
cited. Graham soon appeared in the
smoother water, where the river
widens, and the crowd cheered him
heartily. He declined to enter boat
and swan to the shore just below the
new trolley bridge. After a rub down
Graham said he felt no bad effects
from his hazardous swim.

Sandusky, Sept. 3.-Mayor Tom l..
Johnson, of Cleveland, won n decisive
victory Tuesday in the preliminary
meetings of the democratic state con-
vention which meets here to-day.
Ever since he was selected as chair
man of the convention by the state
central committee, it has been the
general opinion that this occasion
would be made the initial public OPEN
ing of his candidacy for the next
democratic nomination for the presi-
dency. In that respect his success
has been phenomenal. No Ohio candi-
date for the presidency ever had more
unanimity of sentiment in his favor
among the delegates at a state con-
vention than was shown at the meet
ings last night by congressional dis
tricts for the selection of officers and
members of the various committees.
The committees on credentials,
permanent organization and rules and
order of business are almost unani-
mously with him for anything he
wants. One of them gave him the
double honor of agreeing on report

HUNDREDS ARE LOST.
They Perish in Another Eruption
of Mount Pe1ee.
The village of Morne Rouge, Island
of Martinique, Ia Destroyed
LA Carbet Swept Away
by n Tidal Wave.

Castries, Island of st. Lucia, British
West Indies, Sept. 2. - The British
steamer Korona arrived here Sunday
evening from Fort de France, Island of
Martinique. She reports that terri
BILE eruption of Mont Pelee occurred at
nine o'clock Saturday night, and that
people who arrived at Fort de France
from the northern part of the island
reported that the village of Morne
Rouge, near the district previously
devastated, had been destroyed, and
that lie Carbet, village on the coast
which was destroyed at the time of the
great eruption, had been swept by
tidal wave. About 200 persons lost
their lives.
In addition to the 200 persons re-
ported to have lost their lives at lie
Carbet and Morne Rouge, many other
persons are said to have been killed
all over the northern districts of the
island. The governor of Martinique
is believed to have started for the
scene of destruction.
Mont Pelee has been in constant
eruption since August IS. There was
an enormous fall of ashes from the
volcano the night of the 25th. There
was very severe eruption the night
of the 2Sth, when the volcano rum
blings were heard at great distance.
The mountain burned fiercely that
night, and out at sea passing vessels
were covered with ashes. The night
of the 30th there were three separate
eruptions.
1t is impossible to approach the
ruined town of st. Pierre from the sea.
The people of the village of lie Carbet,
on the coast, are terror-stricken and
| flying to the interior. Hot water is

the crater. Horrible detonations were
heard, the ground rocked and quaked
and articles on tables were thrown To
| the floor. The governor of Martinique
has ordered every available boat to
remove people from the coast villages
to Fort de France.
Awe-Inspiring Scene.
AT eight o'clock on the evening OF
Saturday, the 3Oth, the sky was cloud
less. Suddenly and without warming
one-half of the horizon was obscured
by pitch black cloud of dust. This

light surprising the most elaborate
