In districts where the construction
of permanent tramways would be out

FIFTY POUNDS OF PAINT.



Among the recollectons of Capt.
Charles 2. Low Is the memory of an
amusing bit Of comedy which occurred
on the Houqua, a clipper-ship, during
one Of his first voyages. One Saturday
afternoon, late, the sailors had just
finished holystoning the decks and
painting the bulwarks. The second
mate had a fifty-pound keg of black
paint in the paint locker on one side
Of the bowsprit under the topgal!ant
forecastle Unfortunately the sailors
owned a large Borneo monkey or
baboon, and he had been made fast on
the bowsprit within reach Of the paint
Like monkey, always full Of mis-
chief he upset the bucket of paint,
which ran down the scuppers as far as
the mainmast over the clean white
decks.
The second mate as soon as 1t was
found out, caught the monkey and
sWabbed the paint up with him till he
could hold no more, and then threw
him overheard; but this made bed
worse, for the monkey caught the side
ladder hanging over by the main rig
ging and came up, and before any one
could stop him, ran the whole length
If the bulwarks leaving the black
paint all over the fresh straw colo-ed
paint, and making an awful mess.
The man who owned him caught him
and hurried him luto the forecastle, put
II was "Al hands to clean ship" for
the decks had To be scraped and wiped
off and then painted again, for Sunday
must find the ship In perfect order.
AS for the monkey, the men turned
to and shaved him clean, and he was
the worst-looking animal that was
ever seen. The second mate was rs
angry man as could be for time, but
soon got over it after the ship was set
to rights again, and he never moIested
the monkey, who was great pet.

CENTRAL STATES.
SCORE OF PEOPLE KILLED BY
CLOUDBURST AT GANDYS-
WILLIE, KENTUCKY.

Chicago, June 9.--Dispatches from
various places in southern Illinois, In
diana and Kentucky tell of several
storms of tornado severity which
have caused some loss of life and the
destruction of much property. The
town Of New Minden, ILL.,, 25 miles
southeast of st. Louis, was visited by
tornado which killed four people
and injured a score of others.
At Gradysville, Ky, a cloudburst is
said to have caused the loss of from
10 to Is lives and washed away eight
residences.
At York, ILL.,, last night, % or 30
houses were destroyed and a number
of people are said to have been killed.
Because of the loss of telegraph

cially severe in southern Indiana and
at Farmersburg and Sullivan much
damage was done by wind and rain.

DARING OF DYNAMITE MAN.

Death Mag Come at Any Time, But
lie Does Not Fear IL.
"Some day guess twill get me. We
never know"
j. d. Boone, professional powder
man, dynamite and nitroglycerln han
dler, moved cautiously about Ere as
he talked. At his feet lay fifty pounds
OF dynamite-frozen. Three feet away
was a roaring fire He was at stone
quarry at Courtney, Mo-, where the
night before 500 pounds OF his material
had exploded. And he had built the
fire to thaw out more.
This is the dangerous part Of the
work" he said "The jar Of cinder
popping from the fire striking this
dynamite would make it explode. A
twig snapped against 1t or some OBJ
ject dropped upon It would bring the
end. Dynamite Is not exploded by
heat. 1t requires some jar-some frlc-
ton. When 1t Is frozen--and 1t freezes
sooner than water--lt Is fairly safe to
handle. But in thawlng the warmer
IL gets the more sensitive Ii Is. When
these sticks are warm a dime dropped
upon them will make them explode.
It's dangerous business"
No screen was between the dyna-
mite and the fire where the powder
man" worked. If he feared that fatal
cinder popping from the dry sticks in
the fire he did not show It. In a me-
thodical, careful way this grave quiet
man worked swiftly and silently by the
fire.
II began It with my father when I
was 10 years old" he said More than
twenty years now I've been n powder
man and-well. I'm here today, any
how"
But he would venture no prediction
for the morrow.-Kansas City Star
