A Plea for the Hobby.

The individual life needs to be pre-
served in order to give interest and va
riety to the common life. The woman
who follows fad too much is likely to
lind herself growing dissatisfied and
fretful as the novelty Of perpetual
change wears off, but the woman with
4 good, steady, trustworthy hobby has
a permanent means Of escape from
herself and from the weariness of the
world. Selfish? Not ut all. unless she
rides 1t recklessly and without regard
for other peoples gardens. 1t seems
to me that the most useful kind OF
selfishness Is that which keeps ones
>wn intellectual and physical life sound
and cheerful and vigorous in order
that one may be able to do some good
to the cheerless and helpless.-Henry

Awful Tragedy on Ohio River.

Ashland (Ky.) special: Three skiff loads
Of nitroglycerine, enroute from near Sis
tersrille to Maysville, KY, exploded at
Cliff Side Park. There were two men in
each skiff and but very little is left to tell
the tale. Some pieces of flesh and bone
were picked up by some boys on the bank,
but there is absolutely nothing to be seen
where the skiffs were but the murky Ohio.
Great damage was done to property in Ash
land, Catletsburg and Huntington, some
buildings having every window broken.
In Ashland several chimneys were shaken
down and the damage to plate glass is
enormous. The shock from the explosion
was 30 great that many thought it was q
terrific earthquake. A telephone message
from Huntington is to the effect that about
twenty large plate glass windows were
broken. The men In the skiffs were all
strangers, and nothing Of them will be
known until word is received from Sisters
vile. The nitroglycerine was intended for
use in railroad construction near Maysville.

Developments were favorable to
steadiness ana further strength in the
leading branches of trade. Seasonable
weather and large influx of live stock
show visitors created Il gratifying im-
provement throughout the prominent
retail departments, heavy disposition
being effected in winter apparel, foot
wear, table needs and Christmas
wares
Demands of country merchants held
up surprisingly, much of the business
being for urgent delivery, and this
stimulated activity in the wholesale
district, the buying being well distrib-
uted in the staples. Shipments of wool
ems, linens, mems furnishings, boots
and shoes and holiday goods were free.
Local dealers also made liberal selec-
tions of merchandise in anticipation or
increased requirements during this
month. Inferior advices indicate sat
isfactOry consumption in the necessi-
ties and the outlook encouraging for
an excellent holiday trade.
Railroad returns exhibit extended
tonnage in the movement of general
merchandise and farm products. Lake
navigation has almost closed, but sub
stantial additions are shown In receipts

newed indications of larger production,
