A BAD STORM.

Enid, Okla. May "a Hundreds of
persons were rendered homeless and
property damage estimated at $500, 600
was done in the Enid bottoms alone
by cloudburst which struck west of
this city last night at midnight.
AT IL O'Clock a bank of water three
feet high, and 233 feet wide, swept
down the bottoms, carrying with it,
everything that was in its wav. 1t
came upon Enid without warning,
while most of its citizens were asleep.
Within few minutes hundred
houses were partly or completely
submerged.
Rescuers went to work Immediately
and labored industriously saving per-
sons from perilous positions and aid
ing those driven from their homes.
Today it was found that several
hundred were homeless Many pitt
able scenes were witnessed by the
people who stood around waiting for
the water to suhside. Many had lost
everything they possessed. The citi-
zens are busily engaged relieving the
distress but the means at hand are
inadequate.
Tie rainfall the past few days has
been the heaviest in the history of
Oklahoma. and indications are that
more will follow.
Reports of losses in the country
west of here are meagre but it is be-
lieved that heavy damage was done.

Socialists tell us the wage system is

the contention and solve it as nearly

BILE
To do so, we believe there should
be as ssoci ations of mployers and en-
ployed. The principle of unionism is
natural and noble. and good for the
man who works, and the man who
plays. Experience has shown that
without the check of the one. the
other becomes tyranical, reckless and
irresponsible. and has proven that the
one is supplementary: and necessary
to the other
Business principles can be just as
successfully applied to the wage ques-
tion as to the solution of any other
problem. When labor unions advance
to the plane when their written con-
tracts are as good as the government S
bonds and when the employers learn
that labor is a force to be treated with
as valued ally and not as a negative
or scorned quantity, then the day of
better things will have dawned.
Intelligence, which is another name
for business, settled the Denver trou-
BILE. An intelligent and fair-minded
committee from the typographical
union met an equally intelligent and
air-minded committee from the bust

gentlemen and not cheap political
skates and vagabonds. and consequent

heSitated, but at that moment Ara
belle, who had made the entrance in
advance of him, stood prepared, the
arms crossed, the glass ball in posi-
ton on her head. With bitter oath
but half-suppressed, Ventura turned
and STROBE upon the stage.
Ventura was in position, the muzZle
of his pistol covered the mark, still
ness as of death reigned in that
dense mass of human beings in front.
Arabelle smiled. On whom was she
smiling? On whom save the man
who rivaled him in her love? She
could smile on man who dared to
make such a proposalI Heavens! she
would perhaps assent to it!
The silence was terrible, but it was
soon broken; quick, sharp report
rang out. Arabelle tottered and fell
heavily to the stage; the bullet had
pierced the center of her forehead.
When the arms of Ventura were
loosened from the corpse which he
held with an iron firmness to his
breast, he was raving mad!
Crime? Accident? One knew not
how to decide. At Paris sensations
pass quickly, and after the first ex-
citement had subsidized the characters
of this tragedy were soon forgotten.
Since that time he has passed most
of his days of confinement here, be-
fore his plaster mask. Once and once
only his aim failed, and the head was
shattered. For eight days thereafter
he was violent, but otherwise he has
been harmless and inoffensive, as you
see.
We returned to the pavilion, and
found Ventura cleaning his weapon.

pointing to the mask, said, in a Low

the palm of your hand over the top
of the goblet, bending down your
fingers at a right angle. Bear down
hard on the rim and suddenly
straighten out your fingers, never re-
laXing for an instant the pressure
downward
This action will make partial
vacuum between your hand and the
water, and you may then raise your
hand gently, and the goblet will stick
to it and rise from the table clinging
to your palm.
Would you like to know the rea-
son? Because, by eXhausting some
of the air in the upper part of the
goblet, between the water and the
rim, you have made the air pressure
lighter there than it is outside, and
the outside pressure, bearing on your
hand and the goblet, keeps them to-
gether.
1t is exactly the same principle
that enables you to lift brick with
wet leather sucker. You press the
sucker down hard on the brick with
your foot, and that drives the air
from between them; then lift the
sucker by it's string and the brick
comes up with it because the out
side air keeps them from separating.

TO MEND FAMILY MANNERS.
A Generous InfuS sion of Formally In
ito Home Social Intercourse,
Never Harms.

Family manners are apt to suffer
from too much candor. We speak
with great plainness in the circle of
our own kindred; we comment too
freely on foibles; we express the
contrary opinion too readily and with
too little courtesy. A slight infusion
of formality never harms social in
tercourse, either in the family or
elsewhere, says the New York OBJ
server.
Beyond this too common mistake
of an overbluntness and brusQue free
dom in the manners of a household,
in some of our homes, there is a
greater fault, even lack of demon
stration. There is the deepest, sim
cerest love in the home-the BROTH
ers and sisters would cheerfully die
for one another if so great a sacri-
fee were demanded-but the love is
locked behind a barrier of reserve.
Caresses are infrequent, words of af-
lection are seldom spoken. 1t may
be urged with truth and some show
of reason that in the very homes
where this absence of demonstration
is most Marked there is complete
mutual understanding and no posi-
bility of doubt or misgiving, and, so
far as it goes. this is well. But often
young hearts long u-lspeakably for
some gentle sign of loves presence,
the lingering touch of tender hand
on the head, the goodnight kiss, the
word of praise, the recognition of
affection. Older hearts, too, are
sometimes empty, and many of us,
younger and older, are kept on short
rations all our lives, when our right
is to be fed with the finest wheat.
| and enough of it, too.

MERCHANT WAS TRICKY.
How n French Business Man Saved
Expensive Cable Tolls in Jap
anese Failure.

Recently a wealthy merchant in
Paris, who does an extensive business
with Japan, was informed that a
prominent firm in Yokohama had
failed, but the name of the firm he
could not learn, though he was most
anxious to ascertain whether it was
the one with which he did most of
his business in that city.
He could have learned the truth by
cabling, but instead he went to the
man, well-known banker, who had
received the news, and requested the
banker to reveal the name of the firm
to him.
That's a delicate thing to do" re-
piled the banker, for the news is not
official, and if l gave you the name
L might incur some possibility"
The merchant argued, but in vain,
and finally he made this proposition:
81 will give you,' he said, "a list of
ten firms in Yokohama, and l will ask
you to look through it and then to
tell me, without mentioning any name,
whether or not the name of the firm
which has failed appears in it. Sure
ly you will do that for me?"
Eyes" said the banker, for if I do
not mention any name l cannot be held
responsible in any way"
The list was made, the banker looked
through it, and, as he handed it back
to the merchant, said:
'The name of the firm which has
failed is there"
''Then I've lost heavily replied the
merchant, ''for that is the firm with
which l did business" showing him
a name on the list.
'But how do you know that is the
firm which has failed?" asked the bank
er, in surprise.
Easily" replied the merchant. "Of
the ten names on the list only one is
genuine, that of the firm with which
l did business; all the others are ficti-
tious."

PORTRAIT PILLOWS.
A New Fancy for Home Adornm eAt
That Is Becoming Very
Popular.

Here is something new in pillows
portrait pillows they are called. The
face of a noted poet or statesman
looks up at one from a background
| of one of his own quotations. We
may see Whittier and Burns, Kip
ling and Goethe in this array of good
| folk who are willing to lend them
selves to our ease and enjoyment,
says the New York Herald. One is
bound to be soothed in resting upon
this happy thought of Stevenson:
THE world is so full of a number of
things,
1 am sure we should all be as happy as
kings"
An excellent portrait of Stevenson
is framed in this quotation, and in
the four corners are clusters of the
red Mulberry berries" as they are
called, of Samoa.
On the Roosevelt pillow is the
rugged countenance of the president
with his words:
1.-The only man who never makes
mistake is the man who never
does anything"
Then there is the toast pillow, a
comfortable adjunct to the bachelors
den. Round and smiling, happy Pick
wickian gentlemen are brewing
steaming punches or offering one of
these merry toasts:
"a long life and a happy one,
A true wife and a pretty one,
A cold bottle and another one"
"a glass is good, and a lass is good,
| And a pipe TO smoke in cold weather.
The world is good, and the people are coed,
And we are all good together"
Here's to the light that lies in woman's
eyes,
And lies! and lies!! and lies.!w
These pillows are artistically got
up in velours and leather. Those in
velours, however, seem better suited
to the use for which they are intend
ed. The designs are wrought in a
combination of coloring and pyro-
graphic work This fire painting"
as it is called, upon velvet is a work
somewhat new. Hand painting upon
velvet has never been satisfactory.
The paint in time cracks and loses
its color, and the whole effect is in
artistic. A new method of applying
color to velvet has been most happy
in its results. By chemical process
the dye is removed from the velvet
in the required designs, then the for
eign colors are applied.
This same fire painting" has been
seen this winter in elaborate orna-
mentations on portieres and heavy
draperies in velours. A popular de-
sign is large Japanese lily, which,
with the graceful twistings of its
long stems, forms a beautiful border
for such hanginge. When this is
wrought in dull green's on a rich red
velvet the effect is charming. An
other style of decoration in this line
is an applique of leather upon velvet.
| This is used for smaller table covers,
mats and even for sofa cushions. A
notable design which has been copied
for portiere and table cover decora-
| tions is a conventionalized poppy in
burnt leather, applied to the velour
Strips of kid in contrasting colors
reach from poppy to poppy and are
finished with slashed ends.

\ single tremor of the hand of Ven
tura, and-but the hand of Ventura
never trembled.
Evidently Ventura loved this SPLEEN
did woman with love approaching
idolatry. 1t sufficed to prove this to
see once the fierce fires which flashed
in his eyes when in the green room,
waiting their turns, some gallant be-
came too friendly or attentive to the
lovely Arabelle. Jealous? OF course,
and the poor fellow suffered atrocious-
ly, for his companion, as conquettish
as she was beautiful, seemed to take
malicious pleasure in eXasperating
his passion.
The director of the Alcazar d'Au-
tonne had observed this, and had said:
Take care, mademoiselle. That
man holds each night in his hands
your life
Arabelle laughingly replied, as she
dlSSu lllOSG Dtdubllul SnOuiutIS.
HE kill me? No. He gets too much
gold from my head to ever think of
spelling it."
Each night she stood before the
pistols muzzle with the same calm
tranquility, her soft glances calming
the revolt of her lover as the eye of
the master subdues the rage of the ami
NAL.
One evening, scarcely eight days
after the arrival of Ventura at Paris,
a gentleman of elegant appearance
entered the green room and went to-
ward Arabelle, who, with a slight cry
of mingled surprise and pleasure,
seized the extended hand and kissed it
passionately. Guido Ventura, who had
been conversing with the director,
turned about upon the entrance of
the stranger and witnessed this ten
der reception. His face assumed a
deathlille pallor and his eyes flashed
with fearful rage.
The new arrival was a rich Amer
lean, whose attentions to Arabelle
had caused some slight scandal dur
ing the time which they had re-
manned in New York. 1t was to avoid
this man that Ventura had Cancelled
his engagement there and had come
to Paris. And now behold him here!
Who but Arabelle could have in
formed him of their destination?
That night, upon their return to
the hotel, a violent quarrel took
place between Ventura and his com
panion.
But the most terrible scene of all
occurred eight days later. During
that week the American was lavish
of his gifts and attentions to Ara
belle. Ventura endeavored to induce
the director to refuse the American
entrance behind the scenes. But to
no purpose.
On the evening in question, as Ara
belle was preparing her stage cos
tune, Guido saw a note fall from
the corsage of her dress. He picked
it up unobserved, and perused 1T
eagerly. 1t was from the American,
filed with expressions of endearment,
and proposing fight on the morrow.
Five minutes later the call boy an
nounced their turn. On their way to
the stage, Ventura beheld the Amer
lean leaning negligently against a
scene. Ventura glared at him and

An Irish Refrigerator.

An Irish woman was looking at refrigera-

ago: After examining into the merits and
qualities of a number of them, she pur-
chased the one that the salesman assured
her would keep food the best. Some days

them to take that refrigerator back, as it
would not keep anything better than the

put enough ice in it to keep the things cold.
