of the numerous cattle herded all over Ari-

very shy. But 1t is fact we'll known to

Superior was lost with all on board. and
in the same way the Western Reserve
beat herself to pieces within sight of the
Big Sable light.
LITTLE ICE DEVILS
But Superior has a harder fate in store
for many of those who take the last ill
fated trip of the season.
Sailors dread 1t more than the dense
snowstorms. in which they may run upon
the rocks for there hope does not die.
They dread it more than the fierce sletige-
hammer wash Of Eric in her fiercest
storms and more than the fearful dash

are scarce: Sailors call this peril 1.-The lit
tie Ice devils"
The ice DEVILS of Superior have n
great deal to their account. They come in
he'ce storms, when the frenZied wash OF
the waves sweeps from stem to stern of
the daring vessels that have ventured
out.
The air turns freezing cold. II it is night
and the unfortunate vessel Is barge or
a schooner, II is SO much worse for the
lives aboard her.
As the gale blows the crests Of the
waves in showers among the rigging the
water crystallizes into ice almost as soon
as 1t touches.
AS II by magic, the deck houses. the
boats at their davits and the masts and
spars rapidly become coated with ice.
Thicker and thicker it grows around the
rudder and along the sides of the ship.
Each dash OF the surf adds to the freez-
ing masses.
In the blackness and binding sleet of
the gale the sailors are almost helpless.
They know that tons upon tons of 1.-The

no sign of her has ever been found.
Why Lake Superior is and will continue
to be the graveyard Of the Great Lakes is
a mere matter of arithmetical calculation.
While the lives lost in Superior number
seventy, MichiganS casualties are only
half as great.

PRESIDENT IN; KANSAS. :
Makes Two Speeches and Lays a
Cornerstone at Topeka.

cornerstone at Topeka.
Topeka. Kan, May 2. - President
Roosevelt made two addresses in To-
peka last night; one ut the laying of
the cornerstone of the new railroad
Y. M. G. A. building, and the other at
the auditorium before the information
al convention of the Y. NJ C. A. Both
addresses were heard by immense
crowds of people and were received
with the greatest enthusiasm. After
laying the cornerstone for the Y. M.
G.. A. building the president was con-
Quoted to the residence of Gov.
Bailey, where he was entertained at
dinner. His last address was given
at $3.50 o'clock. The crowd was very
large, but SO excellent was the police
regulations that there was little or no
confusion. Flags were displayed in
great numbers on the store fronts.
The entrance to buildings were draped
with red, white and blue bunting.
President Roosevelt's train arrived in
Topeka an hour late. Over 10000
people assembled at the site of the
new Y. M. G. A. building to welcome
him. The delay only served to add to
the crowd. At 6:55 the booming of
cannon announced the arrival of the
presidents train north of the river.
Soon the train was switched from the
Union Pacific to the Santa Fe tracks
and run down to the new building.
Escorted by local cavalry company
and a score of mounted police, the
president reached the platform. He
made short address and then laid
the cornerstone.
