A WRECKING TIME.

One day about year and half ago
the sun was bright and beautiful. The
wind blew a little, but not very much.
About O'Clock the sun went down and
the wind began blowing so hard that
the trees rocked back and forth. Then
we heard low thunder that grew
louder and louder. Soon a storm be-
gan with hard rain, lightning and hail
that was like heavy stones. Trees fell
everywhere and sidewalks were covered
with hail. The church towers fell and
many windows were broken. At last it
grew quiet and the windstorm was over.

SOME MAYBE TRUTHS.

~ I have always been told that the wind
is worst in March. This may be true,
but I have noticed for myself, tho
eleven and one-half years have been
living, that the worst windstorms come
in the fall months. I have also read
in books that east winds bring rain.
This also I have found not to be e1-
actly true for these winds hardly ever
bring rain. The worst storms come
from the west or northwest. For in
stance, the tornado we had year ago
last August came from the west and
northwest and so have many others, tho
this is the only one I have experienced.
Great black clouds coming from tho
east or southeast generally blow over
ON the opposite direction bringing rain.
