DUE TO ACT Or GOD.
Peculiar Claim Made to Excuse Acct
dent in Minneapolis.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. I'm
the quaint wording of the law, the
Croker hotel holocaust was due to
an act of God. A heavy wind, which
could not have been foreseen, and
which, according to the weather bu-
reau. reported the velocity of fifty
four miles an hour at the very mo-
ment the Peck walls toppled. caused
the accident, killing six people.
In all ordinary exigencies the
walls would have stood. Ten ex-
perts in building and structural work
gave testimony to this effect before
the coroner's jury at the Hennepin
county morgue. Mr.. Houghton, the
building inspector, took the stand
and testified that he looked at the
Peck walls every day, from Thursday
after the fire, when the steam died
down to the time they fell. He said
he had not seen single indication of
danger.
THE wall that fell looked to me
TO be the safest of the lot" said he.
Never before had ! seen brick

Under a spreading blacksmith sign,
The village blacksmith sat;
He heard the chuf-chuf and said,
Where is my business at9
The road is full of hOrseless things,
And bikes and such as that
The smith was deeply in the dumps;
All that was plain to see.
His wink-eye winked knowing wink
Up at the chestnut tree,
And then he said, "These horseless
things
Have put horse on me-"
And through his crisp and curly hair
His sinewy hand he ran.
Says he, "I'll get some different tools.
AS well as any man
I'll mend a punctured rubber tire
III charge whate'er can"
Week in, week out, from morn till night
His bellows blows no fires.
Instead il feeds a rubber tube,
That blows up rubber tires;
He has a tank of gasoline,
And cement, pipes and wires.
And children coming home from school
Rubber in the open door,
They rubber at the rubber tube
A-rubbering round the floor,
They rubber at the rubbermith,
Who rubhers fires that tore
He can't go, Sunday, to the church,
For that's his busy day.
Some city chaufeur's in the lurch.
And here is work--and pay.
The chauffeur buys some gasoline
And chuf-chufs on his way.
But never mind, his daughters there
Up in the choir stand;
And as she holds the hymn book high
Shown diamonds on each hand;
For daughters buying jewelry
And Dad is buying land.
Repairing and pumping aud mending.
Onward through life he goes,
Each morning sees tire break.
Each evening sees it close.
Something mended, somebody done.
Puts money in his clothes.
Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy
friend
On the lesson I'll mediate
All must at times get different tools,
This world will never wait;
If we would live the strenuous life,
We must keep up to date.
