Water Front All Broken Up.
For hours the gale swept the water

its path. Docks and wharves were
wrecked and carried away; craft brok-

lighter construction were blown down
like paper boxes, but so far no cas-

True Economy.

1t is charged OF western state sen
ator that he was able to save $4,000
in nine years on a salary of $1,000
year. This would seem to be an i'm
possibility to the man who blows his
money recklessly for food and such
things, but we should not be too hasty
to blame this man without knowing
all of the facts in the case
There are many ways that a thrifty
statesman has of supplementing his
salary For one thing he must surely
be paid literally to smoke the brand Of
cigars with which he perfumes the air
Surely no man would smoke them for
nothing.
If he gets 81 900 year as salary and
$4,000 year for smoking the cigars,
the problem of building up a comforta-
BILE fortune should be a simple one.
Then in addition his wife may do her
own work, and he may wear eelluloid
collars For all we know, the man
may, after all, be a model for the
young.

TRAGEDY AT CALGARY
Whole Family, Including Prema-
turely-Bo Child, Found Dead
In Their Home.

Calgary, Alberta, Jan. PA trag-
edy the full details Of which proba-
bly, never will be known, has wiped
out the entire family Of Edward Fer
dinand, proprietor of a tannery here.
Neighbors having seen nothing OF the
family for several days notified the po-
lice, who on breaking into the house
found Ferdinand dead in bed, the dead
body of a newly-born infant at his
side. While the dead body of Mrs.
Ferdinand lay on the floor near the
bed.
IN another bed were two young boys,
still alive, but so badly frozen that
they died while being taken to the
hospital. The supposition is that the
family was overcome by coal gas; that
tho wife recovered sufficiently TO at
tempt to fix the pipes, gave premature
birth to- a child and died. The boys
probably were overcome by the gas
and were frozen after the fires had
gone out.
