she added another layer Of powder and then
a third and a fourth.
Finally, she wrapped the shoulders In a

the shoulders.

TEDDY 'JR., FINDS JOB HARD.
Gets Backache, but Hopes to Become
Used to II After a While.

"That's enough to break your little
back when you aren't used to It," re-
marked Teddy" Roosevelt, Jr, when
at the sound of the noon whistle he
emerged dirty and grimy, but smiling,
from the mills Of the Hartford Car
pet company at Thompsonville after
his first effort at real work. Then as
suring the correspondent that he
would not mind it after a while he
hustled along to eat lunch with Avin
H. Higgins, vice president and general
manager of the company.
Teddy was up at o'clock in the
morning and at five minutes to was
vending his way with 1920 other mill
hands to his new job. After bowling
his acknowledgements to a dozen type
writer girls in the Office, he covered
up his cheap shoddy work suit with
overalls and went along with William
Lyford. general superintendent, to the
uninviting wool department. For
ten and a half hours each day he will
sort dirty wool according to grades,
then wash, bleach and spin 1t, all for
the stupendous stipend of IS week.

THOUSANDS DROWNED.
City of Hyderabad In India Over
whemed by Flood.

whelmed by Flood.
The catastrophe that overwhelmed
Hyderabad, the capital of the Nizam's s
dominions, and left in its trail thous-
ands of dead, was one of the most
sudden and appalling of many vista
tions on India. In the Nizam's do
minions are many tanks or lakes, the
largest of which communicates with
the River Musi. Tremendous rains
caused the lake to overflow, which in
turn burst its banks.
A flood of water sixty feet high
swept down upon the city, carrying
everything before it, and completely
devastating several quarters of the
city. Thousands of tons of water
crashed in a dense mass against the
houses, burying under the ruins the
natives to a number that cannot be
even estimated.
Z After the food subsided, vast quag-
mire of black mud, out of which arises
a poisonous stencil, marks the spot
where thousands OF people lived
Bands of natives are now searching
this pool for the bodies of their rela-
tives and the scenes are sickening.
Many of the bodies have been re-
covered and all of them are badly
mangled. Many more are buried in
the debris of masonry and twisted
iron. The flood actually wiped out a
district of a mile long and half mile
wide.

SCORES FIGHTING
FOREST FIRES.
Flames Are Raging on Both
Sides Of Laurel Ridge,

Greensburg, Pa, Oct. 1.-TWO forest
fires are raging on either side of the
Laurel Ridge and are being fought
by half hundred men. One fire
started at o'clock Sunday afternoon
near Kingston, on the Ligonier Val
ley railroad, midway between Ligonier
and Latrobe. Forty acres of wood
land have already been burned over
and the fire threatens to enter the
town of Bradenville. 1t is thought
the Pennsylvania Brick company, near
the burning woods, will be consumed.
Shortly after the fire started, from
an unknown cause, 25 men were sent
from Latrobe to fight the flames.
Starting in Kelley's hollow the fire
swept up the side of the ridge and
headed toward the northeast, towards
Johnstown % miles away, and con-
nected the entire distance by forests.
At Laurelville, on the other side of
the ridge, fire started in twenty acres
of forest at $3.50, and is being fought
by a large force of men and boys.
Both sides of Loyalhanna creek for
several miles are in flames.
