A big swapping turtle, which sudden
ly made It's appearance in the post Of
fee at Mlddletown, N. Y, while the
clerks were busy asserting mail, ere
ated a sensation which will not soon be
forgotten. Where the tortoise came
from is a mystery, but it is supposed
to have been in one Of the mail bags.
It was first discovered on the floor
hurrying toward one Of the employees,
who quickly took refuge on a table,
while others Of the department gave IL
a wide berth, as the turtle appeared in
an ugly mood. A colored man finally
arrived and captured the unweIcome
visitor for soup.

As l have mentioned, narrow dell or
"gOyle," as the West-country folk would
have 1t, ran between the cottage and the
sea. 1t was a ruinous place in the win
ter-time, sprinkled with trees knotted and
bent under years of conflict with the
winds, and hoored with dead bracken
and patches of gorse. In the summer it
was, doubtless, pleasing enough; but in
that December weather it seemed shriv-
eled and forlorn. Indeed, it was not a
spot we greatly favored.

Five days before the great storm
struck Pensacola and Mobile in Septem-
Der it's existence and progress were an
nounced by the weather bureau in these
words: "A tropical disturbance was
reported Saturday afternoon as devel-
oping south Of the Grand Cayman.
probable direction northwest by way
of Yucatan channel" The next day
its passage through the channel into
the Gulf was noted, and its presence
in the Gulf was reported the day after.
On Sept. %, the fourth day, the fore
cast said that 1t seemed probable that
the storm would be felt somewhere be-
tween the mouth Of the Mississippi and
the west coast of Florida within TWEEN
ty-four or thirty-slx hours It reached
Pensacola the next day, and on the
sixth day news Of the great damage
done in Pensacola and Mobile was tel
egraphed all over the country. Resi-
dents in the Gulf ports gave little heed
to the warnings, and many lives and
much property were consequently lost.
Similar conditions prevailed at the time
of the inundation of Galveston. The
people were warned Of the storm, but
went about their business as usual.
1t is not possible to beat back the sea
when 1t is dashed into fury, but ship
ping can be anchored m a safe harbor
and persons and property in exposed
positions can be removed to places Of
greater safety. The weather bureau
was not established to give employ
ment to various persons who liked to
amuse themselves by making guesses
about the approach Of storms. 1t is
conducted by practical and experienced
men trained in the science Of meteor
ology. Their predictions are based on
ell-established principles, indicated
by long series of experiments. An err
roneous forecast Is the exception, and
is due to the appearance Of unexpected
forces to defect air currents and
change barometric pressure Nearly, If
not quite, all great storms are foretold
many hours, and sometimes many DAYS,
in advance. 1t is much safer to heed
the warnings of the weather bureau
than to laugh at them. The farmer
who cuts his hay when pleasant days
are predicted is more likely to get it
cured and safely under cover than his
neighbor who ignores the daily bulle-
tins from Washington.

when my husband was 81 and l
was II, and he was getting $14 a
week, he seemed to love me. But, af-
terward, as his fortune increased, his
affection for me diminished. And he
got so rich after while that he said
he wished l were dead" 1t is the
story told in a New York divorce court
by the wife of e. H. Tucker, a wealthy
insurance broker. 1t Is, in substance,
the pitiful story told in a thousand Ill
vorce courts all over the country. 1t
is the pathetic tragedy which, In these
days of wonderful prosperity and
rapid fortune-making, has blighted
homes unnumbered. Money, honestly
got and wisely used, is good to have.
But there is not enough of it in all
the world to recompense the loss Of
the sweet joys Of the humblest home
that Is lit and warmed by love. Pros
perity is a precious blessing to those
worthy of 1t and able to stand it
But all the wealth of the mines and
farms and factories cannot give such
genuine and enduring satisfaction to
the soul as does the wealth of love
and faith and sacrifice that makes the
home the cornerstone Of civilization.
The real life is not outside ourselves,
but within. The real possessions are
not what the hands may grasp, but
what the heart may hold. A lot Of
men will not believe these vital truths
are anything but empty distractions.
In their infatuation for the material,
the practical, they recognize no values
that are not marketable and see no
substance in anything they cannot
clutch in their palms. They must
wreck home before they can know
what 1t is made Of. They must en-
bitter and blast their lives before they
can learn what Is worth while In them.
To be rich and still retain the simple
virtues and the honest lOves-there Is
the real prosperity.
