Cyclone Kidnapped a Child.

Des Moines.-Kidnaped by cyclone
eighteen years ago. to discover himself
only within the past few days. Charles
Bennett of vallisca. Iowa, has put the
strange story OF Charlie Ross clear out
Of commission.
Imagine baby carried miles and
miles by whirling, shrleking storm
cloud. deposited in strangers yard,
there found, nursed into life and finally
discovering a thousand miles away the
real parents from whom as babe he
was separated eighteen years before.
There you have the remarkable tale
Of Charles Bennett. Was ever q story
stranger?
Benefits parents lived In Harrison
county Missouri. Old settlers there
well remember that fatal cyclone which
swept over the county eighteen years
ago. 1t left ruin and disaster In It's
wake.
When the storm struck the Bennett
cottage It literally tore the house to
flinders. The father and mother were
separated and the baby boy was picked
up by the storm cloud and let down in
the back yard of T. W. Hudson, a far
mer. who was getting ready to move
for Louisiana.
Hudson took the youngster with him
to Louisiana. There he reared him as
his own. And 1t was not until the sup
posed father and son quarreled the
other day that Hudson told Bennett
| the remarkable story Of his life.
Bennett set forth to find himself. At
a little town in Harrison county he dis
covered clew to his parents. There
nm old settler named Hank" Barnes
told him the story. He discovered soon
after sister. Mrs. Benjamin Richard
son. at Vallisca, and a brother in Fair
field, Nebraska. The mother, who has
long mourned the son as dead, is In
California. and thither the victim of
the cyclone will betake himself.

MORE BOOSTERS ARE WANTED.
Every Citizen Of Colorado Should Be
Committee Of One to Stand Up
for State,


Denver-"California is one of the
best advertised states In the Union
and the greater part of this advertis-
ing has been done since the California
promotion committee, which aims to
advance every section of California.
was organized In 1902" remarked
James Young Of the Colorado State
Commercial Association. He said:
This promotion committee has been
In existence only five years, but the
work 1t has done has brought results,
and the consequence Is that on every
side in the East the word has gone
forth that California Is the Mecca OF
those dissatisfied with their homes in
Other states
Colorado has more resources than
Californians ever credited their state
with. There is one thing, however,
that California has that Colorado has
not at the present time and that Is the
public spirit of practically every one
of Its citizens, which Is aiding the Cali
tornia promotion committee in their
work of building up the state. When
this same public spirit actuated the
vi Npipi Nh'N hiu 'hu
work of the Colorado State CONNER
cial Association, then the state will
have a greater era of prosperity than
the Pacific Coast commonwealth.
"The California promotion commit
/ tee. instead of being composed of n
few men. is composed OF every citizen
of the state. and the publicity work
of the committee, in consequence, is
something immense. The citizens of
California, when they are interested
in an enterprise of any moment or
when they have what, in newspaper
parlance. is called a story, immeditely
inform the promotion committee and
that committee does the rest. AS a
result the papers are filled with the
happe nings of California cities and
California enterprises. written up in
newspaper style and printed free of
charge by papers in all parts of Amer
lea as straight, legitimate news. which
1t is, in addition to being good adver-
tising for the state.
"The Colorado State Commercial AS.
sociation aims to do the same work. or
even better work. as there is more op-
portunity here. and desires the coop
business men and men OF all classes.
Any enterprise of moment is worth a
story, any unusual crop report would
be gladly printed by the papers, any
happening out of the ordinary is worth
writing up and could be printed In the
Colorado or Eastern papers. Thus at
tention would be called TO Colorado
and settlers. investors and tourists
would have their attention directed
this way to the great advantage OF the
state.
"The methods that have won out in
California are worth trying In Colo
RADIO, and the results would more than
repay business men and others for the
time II would take them TO let the
publicity bureau OF the Colorado State
Commercial Association know OF the
many interesting events that come to
their attention"
