for some time.

wind tore thru the downtown streets
at a rate of seventy-two miles an hour.

mained thru the night, with occasional
gusts that would howl thru the streets
with the force of a cyclone, tearing
down signs smashing in plate glass
windows, and in many sections of the
downtown district hurting pedestrians

delivery wagons. Extra "details of pe-
lice were stationed at the downtown

BAD YEAR FOR DUCKS.
Water Fowl Shooting on tho Chesa
peake Not What Il Used to 30.

From Country Life In America; In
1858, the year or the great blizzard. the
mighty northwest storm OF March II
fairly blew the water out Of the broad
shallow eStuaries OF Chesapeake bay.
and the tirece cold that came with 1t
Troze the naked mud OF the bottom
the garden soil of the juicy grasses that
have made the Chesapeake redhead
eanrasback ducks known TO connois-
seurs OF the world. When the tides
came back they raised bodily this froz-
en- floor OF the river. tearing up tea
grass and tape grass by the roots. This
ruined the feed over many square
miles Of the choicest duck pastures In
America,
In the very next year another convul-
sior OF nature. the disastrous flood,
bore down the SusQuchanna river un
precedenteG masses OF earth and debris,
that covered what feed was left and
about completed the destruction. The
year after the blizzard the ducks ap-
peared In normal numbers. but found
not what they came for and the Chesa-
peake shooting has never fully recov-
cred from these two disasters. The
wise ones OF the duckinS waters have
| figured II out that after q year or two
| only young birds were left, and these
| did not even know the way TO the
| Maryland pastures.
II was a curious sight, in the early
nnettes, and later. too, when stray
| bodies OF migratory ducks reached the
fayorite coves. altshted With confidence
and appetite. and after thirty seconds
| OF frutttsSs diving. lit out from those
| waters as IL they were boiling.

best. For instance. In walking we move
with our toes pointed out aud our heels

places his feet in this position when nrss
seated upon horse. The correct posi-
ton for the feet In riding is to carry
them parallel with the Sides Of the horse.
The reason for this Will be readily under

Seed Is Natures Gem.

Outing: In natures great treasure
house the seed is the one priceless gem
Compared TO it. the great deposits Of
coal, the mines of silver and gold and
OF diamonds and precious stones are as
nothing. Man counts his wealth in dol
lars and cents. in mining and railroad
shares, and in houses and lands. while
his primal necessities are limited TO
food and clothing. Without these all
other tokens of attiuence are void.
These, indeed. are the sources of true
wealth. and the grass of the field sup
plies them all directly or indirectly.
The cereal grains, wheat. rye. oats,
barley. rice and Indian corn-wtiich are
the seeds OF true grasses. are convert
iols directly into food. The succuleut
leaves and cuim of the wild grasses
furnish susteuance to millions of cattle.

been his NANNY" in Kentucky years
before the civil war. The jurist was
Judge Murray Floyd Tuley, and the old
negresS was Ellen White. Judge Tuley
is II years of age, Ellen White is &C.
More than seventy years ago Ellen
White, then Il slave owned by the fam
lily of Judge Tuley in Kentucky was
given charge of her masters little boy
and his sister. She was faithful
| nurse, and they grew to love her. In
| return the negro woman became great
ly attached to the children. When the
boy was about II years of age circum-
| stances separated the children from
their negro NANNY" and until now
| she never saw either of them. Ellen
White did not forget them, though, and
| 1t was through her great desire to see
them again before she should die that
| she was found by Judge Tuley
About year ago the postmaster at
| Chicago received d letter from Leaven-
worth addressed: TO Whom 1t May
| Concern. Care Postmaster Chicago"
Tie letter stated that the sender.
Ellen White. was DESTROYS Of learning
the whereabouts of Murray Floyd
| Tuley and his sister. who. she had
| heard, were in Chicago. She asked that
the letter be given publicity that the
| Tuleys might see it or hear of it If they
We're alive. The Chicago postmaster
being a friend OF Judge Tuley, informed
him of the receipt Of the note, and the
| jurist recognized in the sender his old
negro NANNY" He decided then to
seek the old woman out at his earliest
opportunity.
Accompanied by Mrs. Tuley and the
| three Misses Mccarthy of Chicago.
Judge Tuley stopped in Kansas City
on his way to California to spend a
short vacation. After seeing that the
members of his party We're made COM
Portable, Judge Tooley took an electric
line and went to Leavenworth. He
soon found the old negress.
1t was q joy indeed to be able to
see my old nurse" said Judge Tuley
and the poor old woman seemed al
most ticiiled to death. She Rugged me
and kissed me in a way that showed
that sixty years had not affected her
love for ne when l was a boy. Tears
came into her eyes when she saw me-
She recognized me instantly. and for
several hours we sat there and talked
