Tornado Wrecks Houses.

Maryville.-Three people were In.
jured, one seriously, and a dozen
houses and barns destroyed around
Clearmont Thursday night, nineteen
miles northeast of here, in one of the
worst tornadoes that ever visited
Nodaway county. A large schoolhouse
was carried a quarter of a mile and
smashed against a dwelling. AS a
and child were preparing to
enter a cave, their house was lifted
owe the cellar door, slightly injuring
them. A barn was completely de-
stroyed. The tornado did not strike
the town of Clearmont, but wreaked
havoc among farm houses up to the
Iowa line, ten miles distant.

POWER is WITH FARMERS,
They Are in Position to Demand and
Compel a Square Deal.

The Rocky Mountain News sounds
a note of warning to those who flatter
themselves that they can retain the
benefit of protection for their own in
dustries while Withholding protection
from the agricultural interests. The
warning is especially addressed to the
Sugar trust, which is accused of an in
clination to grab more than its share
of the profits of beet sugar production
at the expense of the Colorado beet
growers. The News reminds Mr..
Havemeyer that the tariff on refined
sugar is in force by the consent of the
farmers of the United States, and that
the farmers have the power to take off
that tariff. Hence he had better deal
fairly in the matter of the farmers in
terest in sugar beet prices. The admo-
nintion may well apply to others than
Mr.. Havemeyer. There are people
urging free trade in raw materials"
that are the farmers finished prod
ucts; but with no idea of relinquishing
protection for their own finished prod
ucts. They foolishly imagine that they
a keep for themselves the protective
tariff shield against foreign competi-
ton and at the same time expose
American farmers to unrestricted COM
petition. 1t cannot be done. In the
matter of votes the American farmers
hold the balance of power. They are
in a position to demand and compel a
square deal.

Novelties in Ponuees,

Among the novelties at present are
the familiar rajah and pongee silks,
but there is enough originality about
them to offset "reminiscences. They
are called mirage silks, and advisedly,
since they are two-toned effects hav-
ing the deeper tone serve as a back
ground for delicious paler colorings.
A pleasing frock of brown mirage has
the skirt plated about the hips and
tucked simply at the bottom with no
other trimming. Accompanying it is
a blouse of the guimpe order, cut
down to show a round yoke of en-
broidered grass linen inset with tiny
bands of cert valenciennes insertion.
The loose short sleeves fall over long
er sleeves of the linen, which are fin
ished with narrow cuffs of insertion
edged with tiny rufles of lace, appear
ing at both the top and bottom of the
insertion. Although one of the smart
est of the seasons silks, the fabric
in this instance is used in such sim
pie and practical fashion that it loses
its pretentiousness while retaining it's
charm.

An Adventure in the Hog Pasture.

that Mark had reached the fence. He
sprang toward the hogs that stood be-
tween this and him, and beat them
over the head. They gave way, and
he started to run, when he was jerked
back by something that tugged at his
hand.
In the excitement he had slipped q
finger through the ring in the end OF
the chain and could not withdraw 1t.
He was chained to the pig! The dam
ger of the situation really came to the
boy for the first time. He struggled
madly to release his finger, but the
ring had slipped above the knuckle,
and his struggles only served tic
blacken and discolor the finger.
If he was to escape he would have
to fight his way through. He could
not run. The pain in his finger from
the continual Juggling of the pig was
becoming ex~eruciating. Slowly he
moved toward the fence. o about a
hundred yards distant. dragging the
pig. The drove of hogs moved with
him in a solid and constantly narrow
ing circle.
To increase his difficulties, the dis
,tracted pig began to run about him,
winding his legs in the chain and
threatening to overthrow him. Carl
was becoming terror-stricken, frantic.
He struck a hog which was disputing
his way, and saw his stick lily to
pieces. He looked up and cried aloud
in terror. The fence was SO near, yet
he could not reach 1t.
He could see Mark running about
excitedly on the other side OF the
fence and-whistling? Yes whistling.
He was calling Mack.
Carl turned eagerly toward the
house and his heart gave a great
bound. Help was coming! Up the
long slope that led from the house
Mack was coming like an arrow sped

The domestic hog, grunting lazily
about his pen, is as harmless a
creature in appearance as can be
imagined. In their wild state. accord
ing to the reports Of travellers, hogs
are fierce and cruel, dnrelenting in
their fury, and will attack men when
reused. Circumstances occasionally
arise which show that this wild strain
has not been wholly lost, wen In the
most obese porker.
Mark and Carl Perkins, two Chica-
go boys, aged IL and IA, while spend
ing their vacation last summer on
their Grandfather Trigg's farm In
central Wisconsin, had an-experience
with hogs which they will not soon
forget.
Among the many delights which the
farm afforued, the one which gave the
boys the most pleasure, during the
early part of the summer, was pick
ing wild strawberries in a pasture q
half-mile from the house. The most
convenient route to this field was
across the hog pasture, a ten-acre lot
which lay between the strawberry
pasture and the house.
On these berrying trips they were
often accompanied by Mack, a farm
peared on the scene with his rifle.
One afternoon, the week after their
arrival, they started for strawberries,
carrying with them two tin pals and
a lunch which their grandmother had
put up for them.
Boys" their grandfather called
after them, "see if there are any
gophers in those traps l set on the
hill! The little pests are going to kill
all the grass if l don't manage to get
rid of them somehow"

Secret Of Japan's Success,

haven't come out yet" said Carl.
The boys went on to the straw
berry pasture. After their pals were
filled, they sat down to rest, and sud-
denly remembered that they were
hungry. They brought out their bread
and jam and cold chicken.
Lets go back by the traps" said
Carl, after they had finished their
lunch. There might be a gopher in
one now"
The traps were near the center of
the field. When they were near them
they heal a pig squeal. The squealing
grew louder. We'll, that's queer"
said Carl. 1T must be hurt"
Maybe it's lost" suggested Mark.
They could hear hogs all over the
pasture granting in response to the
squeals of the pig.
Come on, Mark" cried Carl. 81
see it. It's in a trap!" He began to
run, holding the pals carefully so as
not to spill the berries. Take them"
he said. handing these to Mark,
while / get it out. Its leg may get
broken"
He stopped to bend the spring, but
the pig made such frantic efforts to
escape that it jerked up the stake
which held the chain and hobbled
away, with the trap clinging to it's
foot.
"Carl, I'm afraid of the hogs!"
cried Mark.
They were indeed acting strangely.
They we're running toward them from
all quarters OF the pasture, uttering a
noise that was more like a oar than
a grunt.
"Hogs?" said Carl, scornfully. "Hogs
won't hurt you. See, / a drive them
away with this stick" He picked up
a stick and raped a hog smartly over
the back. The animal squealed and
ran to n side.
Mark was treasured. His conf.
dence in his older brother was unlim-
tied. Together they set out after the
crippled pig, chasing it hither and
thither, in and out of the drove of
excited hogs. Finally Carl caught the
end of the chain and stopped its prog
ress, at which the pig squealed more
wildly than ever. The old hogs were
making a d~eafening uproar round
them. Even Carl began to get nerv-

fence"
"Shall I take the berries?" asked
Mark.
While Carl hesitated, a snout struck
the back of his leg, and he heard his
trousers rip.
Run quick!" he cried, and the next
instant was knocked down.
A babel of hoarse grunts and the
swapping Of tusks surrounded him,
above which rose the shrill squeals OF
the pig. Carl had chung to the stick,
and, half-rising, he laid about vigor-
ously, and soon had a circle cleared,
round which the hogs stood with snap
ping, foaming Jaws.

FOR SMALL DINNER
SINGLE ROSE AN EFFECTIVE
TABLE DECORATION.
Colonial Vase Particularly Well Adapt
ed for Long stemmed Flowers
Squash and Pumpkin Pies
Cushion Novelty.

= For decorations on small tables In
tended for the service of two or four,
a vase of Favrile glass, in which is
placed a single orchid or pink rose,
makes an attractive decoration. Roses
are undoubtedly the most popular flow
ers for all sorts of decoration. The
trouble with them, however. is that
they are so expensive, and orchids
are almost out of ones reach. The re-
vival of the colonial vas is particular
ly well adapted for flowers with long
stems, such as roses and pinks. Among
the new pieces for low table decora-
ton, none is more effective than the
glass baskets used for the center and
filled with flowers falling carelessly
over the rim. There are also smaller
ones for bon bons. The tall, beautiful
compotes in white and gilt and in cut
glass are used for bon bons and jellies.
The continued use of grapefruit as
grapefruit glass more popular than
ever. The glass resembles a tall
champagne tumbler, or compete with
a long stem. Into the bowl of this
glass is placed a smaller one, around
which shaved ice is packed. A plate
with a DOYLE is used under each glass.
Squash pies seem more common per-
haps than pumpkin because squash
cooks quicker. To have delicious
pumpkin it should be cooked a long
time, and it is far superior to squash
for pies. The pumpkin should be care
fully selected.> of medium size, and
very solid. Pumpkin baked in the
shell the anne way as Hubbard
squash is drier and richer than when
it is stewed.
For pies, pare and cut a medium
sized pumpkin in small pieces, and
put in a kettle with a pint of water.
Boil slowly for an hour or until the
water is fully evaporated. Stir occa-
sionally to prevent burning. Drain and
put through a colander. To each pint
of pumpkin add a pint of milk, three
beaten eggs, five heaping tablespoon
fuls of sugar, a teaspoonful of ginger,
two teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, and a
pinch of salt. Or to each cupful of
prepared pumpkin add a very little
nutmeg, cinnamon, Glove and salt, one-
half teaspoonful of ginger with a half
cupful of sugar, one beaten egg, and
about three cupfuls of rich milk.
Pumpkin pies should always be deep
ones.
Prepared pumpkin without any ca
soning will keep for several days in a
cool place. If placed in glass fruit
jars, filled to overlooking, sealed while
hot, and kept in a dark, cool room or
cellar, it will keep as well as any
canned fruit.
A novelty in the way of pin cushions
is in the form of imported china fig
ures, representing ladies with and
without hats. The bodices are of
china, but the skirts are real. They
are patterned after old-fashioned silks
with sprays and garlands of tiny roses,
and are trimmed with lace and ribbon.
One could imagine that the lady had
on hoops. Under the skirt is hidden a
pin cushion. and the pins are supposed
to be put through the skirt. The price
is $1,000.

from a bow. Would he be in time?
Carl turned and began to- kick
savagely at the hogs. The frightened
pig ran between his legs, and whirled
about, wrapping him hopelessly
in the chain. He struggled to
keep his footing, but fell under
the rush of the hogs. For a
brief moment they ran over him, and
he covered his face with his hands,
expecting with each breath to feel
their teeth. Then to his amazement
they left him, and he was lying alone
in the sunshine, unmolested. Even
the pig had escaped by freeing itself
from the trap.
The explanation for this came from
an uproar at n side. In the midst
of the drove Mack raj spinning like
a top, swapping right and left, a
bleeding snout here and an ear there
showing that these leaps were not
futile. At last the dog made a lunge
at a particularly large hog. and
fastened so securely that his hold
could not be broken. The squeals Of
his victim sent the entire drove fee
ing in terror down the hill.
Carl got up slowly, crossed the
fence, and sat down. The world
seemed to be travelling round in a
circle. Mark, the clouds, the trees
and the twa pals of berries all seemed
a part of a huge merry-go-round.
I'm glad you didn't spill them," he
said, thickly. Grandma" Then it
suddenly became dark.
