Che Cost Of Success and the Cost Of failure
Ebe Mercbon Associo

To young men, success is best taught by object
lessons. They need to learn that it is just easy
to fill good pair of shoes as a poor pair. This
lesson impressed upon when my father
took me to the closet where he kept his old shoes
and offered any pair I wanted. I took the
best shoes there. That's right, my son" he said
you fill good shoes as well as bad ones If
our young men bore this idea in mind there would
be fewer failures

DEATH IN TORNADO'S FURY

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct 5.-The little
town of st. Charles, in Winona county,
was almost completely wiped out by
tornado. Seven people were killed and
2s were hurried, many of them seri-
ously
The dead are: John Fbens. Sr., Will
liam Ebens, his son; VIII Adams,
Oscar Crittenden, George Jesson, Ed
Murphy. Ed Peters.
The entire main street of the town
was literally wiped, out hardly busi-
ness place being left standing. Forty
two residences also we're destroyed,
and the total property damage is esti-
mated at 100000
The tornado struck the town from
the southwest and made clean sweep
through it, following almost entirely
the line of the main street and devas-
tating buildings on each side. Then
the residences further back from the
business center were struck. and
many of them blown completely away.
1t seems almost miraculous that there
was not a greater loss of life. Four
of the killed were in John Ebens' sa-
loon when it collapsed, and they were
buried beneath the wrecSage. Two
others were in a dry goods store
which was blown away. and they we're
killed by the falling walls.

SUDDEN BATTLE

Reports Come of Fierce Fight
Between Turkish and

BOTH SIDES LOSE HEAVILY

Sofia, Bulgaria. Oct. 5. - Serious
news has been neceived here from the
frontier Of fighting between Turkish
and Bulgarian trt,cps at Demir-4lapia,
both sides sustain ing heavy losses.
In Official qusr1ars all knowledge Of
the affair is denied, but the circun-
stantial details given seem to indicate
that there is some foundation, for the
accounts of the conflict. According
to one report, thefrurks attacked the
Bulgarian frontier post. Another YER
sion says the Turks pursued a number
OF refugees acre SIS the frontier.
It is asserted that the Turks have
frequently attempted to provoke hos
Titles, firing into Bulgarian territory
horses and sheep. The war Office
here is working at high pressure, and
$4,000 recruits will be called out three
months Before the usual time. Prince
Ferdinand has sanctioned numerous
other measures OF q warliSe nature.
All the cavalry with the exception of
a single regiment which is stationed
at Sofia has been sent into the from
tier districts. where are also strong
forces of artillery. Vigorous efforts
are being made to prevent bands from
crossing into sFurlSish territory.
Dispatches from the frontier re-
ceiyed at the revolutionary headquar-
ters report that the refugees in the
mountains are in a terrible condition
through their pursuit by the Turks
and cold and hunger. Many of them
are dying.
At the village of Kobcharina, in
habited by Turks, 400 houses are re-
ported to have been completely
burned, while most of the inhabitants
were killed.
A battalion of lRcdifs left Stlonica
for Demirhissar, where, It is reported,
a strong force of insurgents appeared.
Three battalions of artillery, with As
guns. have been ordesed to be held in
readiness to reinforce the Redifs.
II is reported that a Turkish con-
voy was recently attacked in the Flor
ina region and that so of'the SOLDIERS
we're killed.
