Blocks Shaken by Conclusion.
New, York, Dec. 1O.-More than
score of persons were injured, five of
them seriously, and hundred more
were thrown into a panic when
bomb was hurled into the air shaft of
the tenement house at $50 East Sixty
third street. The house was badly
wrecked. The house was occupied
exclusively by Italians and it devel-
oped that threatening letters had been
received by many of them during the
past few months.
The explosion was terrific. The
conclusion shook buildings for blocks.
The sides of the air shaft, down
which the bomb was thrown, are
lined with sleeping rooms one one
side and bathrooms on the other.
Practically all of those injured were
asleep in the bedrooms on the south
side The bathrooms were wrecked,
the water pipes torn and broken and
the whole building on that side was
flooded before the water could be cut
off in the partially wrecked cellar.
Plaster and bricks, mixed with jagged
pieces of glass from the shattered
windows, were hurled into the sleep
ing rooms with frightful force and
some of those injured were found half
buried and unconscious under the de-
bris piled upon their beds.
The roar of the explosion brought
residents out into the street for
blocks around and in a few minutes
crowd of hundreds of half clad men
and women were gathered in front of
the house.
It was more than an hour before
the excited men and women who
thronged the surrounding streets
could be quieted and induced to re-
turn to their homes.

Are women practical jokers? The

deductive mind capable of making

she wrote letters to 10 or 90 OF her

compliments they could think of with

II have much pleasure in saying
that on my farm this year | had 500
acres in wheat and 40 acres in oats
My wheat averaged about p bushels
per acre and | had 200 acres cut be-

cents per bushel, thus realizing on
that wheat $500 per acre, not count
ing cost of twine, seed and labor. With
regard to the other 800 acres OF wheat,
it got touched with frost but is worth
60 cents per bushel. il will net me
$500 per acre, but | do not intend
to sell 1t at that price. as | can make
more money by feeding il to hogs.
MY oats turned out about 80 bushels

counting seed, Irvine and labor.

A PROFITABLE EXPERIENCE.
A Striking Illustration Of True Neigh
borIiness Was Shown in the Case
Of Mrs. Walker Of Georgetown.

Mrs. Walker had raised quite a
brood of chickens, expecting to secure
sufficient eggs, when they were scarce,
to help pay the interest on her mort
gage.
But cold spell came along. and just
at the time when eggs began to get
high Mrs. Walkers hens stopped lay
ing. Not one could she get even for
her own table.
She was almost in despair when Mrs.
Richards called, and when she sadly
told her troubles, Mrs. Richards didn't
look sad-on the contrary, she looked
very CHEEKY, and exclaimed. why
that's exactly the trouble had year
ago, but | managed TO overcome II.
What did you do?" anxiously in
CURED Mrs. Walker.
We'll, told my troubles TO Mr.
Johnson, our dealer, and he said Why

the difference in the appearance of the
chickens, and in one week my hens
were laying regularly, and / was get
ting large number of eggs when they
were selling at Acc dozen. My adj
vice is, order the same Pratts Poultry
Regulator (be sure it's Pratts, because
there are so many that are worthless)
and my confidence is SO great that III
also agree TO see that you are not
obliged TO pay for it if it doesn't do
what is claimed
Mrs. Walker followed her neighbor's
advice, got some Pratts Poultry Regu-
lator, with the Dealers guarantee)
and in a short time had earned enough
from the sale OF eggs to meet her mort
gage interest.
And now Mrs Walker is telling all
her neighbors about her good for
tune" and how it was due TO the use of
Pratts Poultry Regulator.
And Mrs. Walker has also been
greatly benefited by the valuable in
formation she found in Pratts New
