Mrs. Bagley was not timid; still. tran1ps
were scarce in that neighborhood. and
the one approaching the house did not
present a reassuring appearance. The old
lady glanced toward the barn and down
the lane rejecting uneasily on her hus-
bands habit of being late for meals.
The tramp, also, had reconnoitered the
barn-yard and noted the absence of a man.
He slouched confidently round to the
Kitchen door, seated himself on the step,
peering impudently from under his scragglv
brows at the neat motherly woman. and
snined at the agreeable odors from the
stove

Bagley, bravely breaking the embarrassing
silence and going straight to what she
hoped was the only point.

Mrs. Bagley hastily took the coffee not
from the stove. poured out a cup of the
steaming beverage and handed it to her
self-invited guest, praying that Hiram
would appear before anything worse de-
veoped

PLAN FRATERNAL CONGRESS-
Modern Woodmen Endorse Scheme for a
General Convention in New York.
NEXT HEAD CAMP IN PEORIA
Committee on Head once Reports
that Another Adjustment In
Rates VIII he Necessary
in Few Years.

MILWAUKEE,, June 2S.-The head camp
OF the Modern Woodmen Of America today
endorsed the plan for a fraternal congress
to be held soon in New York City for the
purpose Of bringing to the attention of the
government the advantage of fraternal in
surance over old line insurance.
The law on the liquor question was
modified so that bookkeepers, mechanics
and others employed by breweries and dis
tilleries who do not in any way handle
liquor and propretors of departments
stores who sell liquor IN unbroken pack
ages are not barred from membership.
After a hot fight Peoria, Ill., was Sc
lected as the place for holding the next
meeting of the head camp, Modern Wood
men Of America. The convention voted
that the percapita tax to meet the general
expenses remain unchanged at 81 per year.
The convention also decided to make no
change In salaries of officials.
An automobile flower parade and carni-
val pageant were features of today's en-
tertainment.
At tonights session the committee on
head office reported that the society could
not with safety postpone for more than a
few years another readjustment of rates.
resolution was adopted providing that
federal and state banks only be used as de-
postories by the head banker.
The report of the extension committee
providing for the taking in of considerable
new territory was acted upon adversely in
that the convention decided to vote against
the whole state of Arkansas, confining the
territorial extension to Tennessee, except
ing some areas to be outlined by the execu-
tive council, and all of Texas, with the ex-
ception of that portion lying south of the
Cotton Belt railway from TeXarkana to

QUEER FREAKS OF TORNADoES
Twister in New York state Yanked
Houses in the Air and Set
Them Down Again.

The terrific tornado that swept over the
southern part Of Binghamton, N. Y, was Of
the western "twister" variety-a funnel
shaped, whirling column, taking a swath
from 100 to 200 feet wide, and wrecking or
damaging everything in its path. The tor
nado originated near the western limits of
the city, the north side of the Susque-
hanna river, and, crossing the river diagon-
ally. cut through the Fifth and Sixth wards
eXpending its fury on the side Of Houses
hill, in the eastern part of the Sixth ward
1t followed a day of oppressive heat and
humidity and came with an awful roar
Only six houses and five barns were totally
wrecked. but about twenty houses were
nearly ruined and 100 were more or less
damaged. About 100 small buildings were
wrecked and several hundred trees were
uprooted.
The damage to most of the houses was
caused by explosions from the air pressure
inside. when the whiring tornado outside
the house caused a partial vacuum. AL
though all but one of the damaged houses
were occupied not person was killed and
no one was badly injured. A house recently
vacated was lifted up and whirled
around in the air. The roof was deposited
In the cellar and the remainder was scat
tered for quarter of a mile. The house
of Bernard Smith was blown down the side
hill seventy-five feet, turned bottom up and
completely wrecked. The adjoining house
of George Johnson was shifted TO the Smith
house foundations, where II remained bot
tom side up, the roof in the cellar. Seven
people were asleep in these two houses and
none was seriously injured
Mrs George TomplIins had gone into the
sleeping room of her son Ray and was sit
ting on the edge of his bed Their house
exploded from within, blowing the entire
front off smoothly and hurting Mrs Tomp-
kins and the boy out on the lawn. where
they were left sitting unharmed The ex-
plosion also blew almost every article OF
furniture from the house, all Of which, ex-
cept the front and roof was left intact.
The house of James Hartigan was blown to
the adjoining lot where it is lying on its
side demolished. The Hartigan small boy
was supposed to be dead in the wreckage
but he finally was found under a bed
unframed. Mr.. and Mrs. Hartigan were in
their parlor then they were in their neigh
bors yard, only slightly injured, having
been blown out of the house.
The house of Mrs. I. c. Wead was lifted
from its foundations and carried some dis
tance, but was not badly damaged Mrs,
Wead said: I'VE were sitting on our front
porch watching the lightning when the
next thing we knew we were In our back
yard, and Smiths house was in our yard
and Johnson's house was In Smiths cellar"
Two large moving were blown
through the side of barn into the street
apparently from the pressure within, and
except for the one side. the barn was not
damaged. An incubator full of eggs was
left intact, not an egg broken, while every.
thing around in the rooms was completely
wrecked.-New York World
