HORROR OF FEARFUL STORM
THAT SWEPT OVER SOUTH
Storm Lasted for Nearly Two Days,
and in Places T~ister Doubled
on Its Tracks, Finishing
Work OF Destruction.

New s.-Mississippi, al

tornado this year, has again borne the

In Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and
with serious loss of life in Arkansas

In half dozen communities mar
tial law has been declared, so terrible
was the destruction and so helpless
were the stricken people left by the
disaster. Serious disorders have oc-
Cured In some places, including
Amite, La. Looting and other crimes
have been reported, but these in
stances have been on the whole rare.
Several places have issued appeals
for aid and in Mississippi Governor
for the homeless.
The tornadoes lasted in all period
of nearly two days. 1t was Thurs
day night that damage by tornadoes
travelling eastward was first reported
from points in Texas. This was fol-
lowed during the next twenty-four
hours by similar reports from Arkan-
sas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ten
nessee. Friday night Alabama came
within the flight of the storm and
Saturday reports of serious damage
by the winds in Georgia were record
ed. An incomplete list of the dead
and injured in the storm, made up
from telegraph reports from various
points through the south, places the
number of killed at 30S and injured
at 1901.
Utter misery of every sort was
found at Purvis, Miss, by relief par
ties. Despite the fact that of the
$500 inhabitants which this little
town boasted there were only 900 left,
still there were not sufficient accom-
modations in the wrecked village for

acted at this village puzzled those
who witnessed it. Instead of enter
ing the town at one side and passing
out at the other, the storm whirled
and sec'sawed about. Once or twice,
judging from the lay of the debris, the
wind veered so much as nearly to
double on its trail. The result was
terrible for the inhabitants, many of
whom were caught and either injured
or killed, after they had apparently
escaped. -
The usual freaks were played by
the wind. Twenty-seven prisoners
were in the little town jail The roof
was lifted off, but so terror-stricken
were they that not one gained his
freedom. None of the prisoners was
seriously injured. The wreckage
which remained on the site OF lum-
ber mill near town consisted largely
OF splinters, from the size OF TOOTH
picks up to small sticks.

HEN LAYS coLoRED EGGS.

Hiram Stillings is telling his friends
about a favorite hen with a poetic soul
and an inspiration toward higher
things than the ordinary egg of COM
merce. He has dubbed it the Easter
Egg Hen, because it lays colored eggs.
When a bit of a chick, last year, the
fowl suffered a broken leg, and was
taken into the kitchen to be nursed.
1t became a great pet, and when it
got well spent most of the time in the
house watching the women folks cook.
One day the hen saw Mrs. Stillings
coloring eggs for Easter. For several
days the fowl wore a thoughtful air,
and it is clear now that it had taken
a firm resolve to lay only painted eggs
when it grew up.
Now, this hen ate onion skins and
indigo and calico print cloth, which,
as everybody knows, can be used to
color eggs. And in good time it began
to lay eggs.
Each egg that it laid was colcred,
and each egg had a different design.
Mr.. Stillings refrains from declaring
that the hen laid hard-boiled eggs,
simply as a matter of policy.-Steelton
