SELECT YOUR TREE.

You have read the warning humid
red times over not to seek the shelter
OF a tree during a thunderstorm. but 10
you have needed u and stood out In
the open and got wet. now Is your
time To object 10 the warning.
Statistics have been gathered BY an
Official connected with the State gov.
eminent OF Wisconsin to prove that
lightning has struck more people in
the open than under the trees. II has
struck four houses and Ave barns
where 1t has struck one tree. In one
year in the United States sixty-tour
persons were killed in churches TO
fourteen under trees.
The locust tree has been supposed
to attract lightning more than any
other. II is now shown by statistics
that no particular variety of tree en-
joys that distinction. A small tree Is
as apt 10 be struck as tall one.
bush is as apt TO be struck az tree
There Is nothing about a farmers
barn TO attract lightning any more
than about his house.
A steamboat In motion rs az safe from
lightning as a canoe tied to stake
A man sitting beside an open window
is as safe as one lying on a bed.
Lightning will not strike on a Hill any
quicker than down In a valley. There
is no rule to go by la lodging the
danger. You simply have to take your
chances, and you are in more danger
of swallowing a fish bone than YOU
are OF being struck by lightning.-New
York News.

THE WOMAN WHO wEEPs

IF there were more tears there
would be more marriages" said the
matchmaker. Whatever men may say,
they like a woman who has not lost
the ability to weep in true feminine
fashion. In spite of their alleged
strength, men always want some one
In whom they can confide What SYM
pathy can they expect from a woman
who knows not how to weep, and re-
CARDS tears as undignifed. No man
really likes to see a woman cry, but
all men prefer a woman who can and
does cry-a tender hearted creature
who, although brave enough, does not
try to encase herself in a kind OF ad-
ditional outer skin, or suit of mail
that renders her proof against senti-
ment. 1t is very questionable if this
stoicism is good for women in any
way. 1t is a relief to shed tears, and
many man would be glad If it were
not regarded as cowardice for him to
weep. 1t is one of natures methods of
assuaging grief, and the inability to in
dulge in tears leads many a man to
drink as a means of giving vent to
his feelings. New York Tribune.

at bay the most vicious kickers by his calm
and inflexible demeanor. A sample Of his
courage and gameness was demonstrated
in a certain American League city in the
west while acting In the capacity of UNI

were made by the management and a
crowd of bowling bleachers against some
Of Joe's decisions, while the people in the
grand stand were with him. The next day,
which was Sunday, one Of the city's news
papers asserted that Cantillon dared not
