OnIy Three Dead.

HattiesbuFg, Miss, Feb. 15.--That yesterdays cyclone was of not very fatal nature and did not cover so great a territory as was at first supposed was shown today by a complete tour made of the affected area.
 Three deaths resulted from the dis aster.
 All of the injured are doing well except Edward Campbell at Moss vile, whose condition is still serious
 Contrary to previous reports. the vil- lage of Service was not much dam aged. Soso a town adjoining Service which it was feared had been des- troyed, was left untouched. The cy- clone passed half a mile outside the place.
 Property damage will reach about a quarter of D million, most of which loss was sustained at and near Moss vile.

Only Three Deaths.

HattieSburg, MISS, Feb. lb.--Makfng a trip through Jones and Jasper coun- ties Mississippi, early today, the As sociated Press correspondent here could find records of only three deaths as a result of the cyclone which yesterday swept through that section of the State.
 The greatest damage was done at Mossville. where two old negroes, Alec Kirk and his wife. lost their lives. The e-year-old child of Ike Holloway at Service, Miss, was also killed, These three deaths are the only ones verified. Wild rurnors of many dead negroes ly- ing alongside railroad tracks through Jones and Jasper counties were inves- tigated and found to be without foun :. dation. There were many persons in- jured in the cyclone. but few of them were injured seriously.
 The property damage will be large, but at tbis time 1t is difficult to esti- mate 1t. Besides dwellings stores and out houses. much timber was destroy ed.rand 1t Is thousht at this time that the damagek.will amount to at least d quarter of<a million dollars, possibly more. All of the streams in Jasper and Jones counties are flooded today and it is with difficulty that the roads are travelled. A number of bridges have been washed away and commun- ication by road between towns hasa in consequence. been cut of in many instances.
 Reports of much damage at Soso. a small village, were investigated and found to have been greatly exaggerat- ed. Several negroes were reported killed at that place, but this proved to be untrue.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. Is.-Flood con- ditions are reported at various points on the Ohio River and its trihutaries and the danger line will probably be passed here within a few days. Darn- age has been reported at Springfield, Dayton1 Hamilton and other points.
 Over half a mile of track on the White Water division of the Big Four Railroad near Harrison, O.. slid into the flooded White Water River early today. tieing up trafiic on that di- vision. The lower part of Harrison is under water and a score of families have been compelled to move from flooded homes.

STORMS AFTERMATH
ONLY FOUR BUTLDTMGs LEFT IN
 nfossvILLE.
The Inhabitants Claim That Their vil- la@e Was seattereds Over at Least Four Miles of
 Territory.

Mossviile, Miss. Feb i5.--Four whole buildings. and two halves of buildings are the only houses standing today in this little village. The remainder of the structures here were blown down, and many of them blown well outside the town by yesterdays storm. which was one of the most violent in the rec ords of South Mississippi wind storms.
 The loss of life here was small com pared with the great property destruc- tion. Two old negroes, Alec Windham and his wife, ars dead and Edward Campbell. white. ts probably fatally in- jured. of the dozen other persons. palnfulIy Injured at this plecas aH are rapidly recovering
 The buildings left Standing hers are two residences a cotton gin and a. school house. The btilldin9s which the storm cut n two are tlie ali1f and Ship Island Railroad depot and . residence.
 The station master happened to be in the half depot which was standing and was scarcely disturbed as the other half of the station went down in heap and flew away by piece meal. gi
 The inhabitants of MossviIIe claim that their village was scattered over at least four miles of territory, this statement being based upon the ident- tacation of hatchet picked up by a farmer fouf miles from here as part of-the stock of the general store of the village. The contents of this store are plainly visible, scattered over at least q milo of ground in the direction taken by the wind. The most stirring evil dences of the force of the wind are uprooted oak trees of considerable age in the main street of the town.
 The tornado also partly wrecked the towns of Soso and Service and it is reported that q fourth small town. Epps. was badly damaged. owing to swollen streams, washed out bridges and fallen wires, few definite reports have come from these places. At Ser vice 1t is known that a small daugh- ter of Ike Holloway was killed, and 1t is reported that man and woman and two children were also killed.

Pittsburg. Febss 15.-Spreading ruin and disaster in it's path, the annual dood of the rivers and small streams of this section holds Psttsburg in its grasp tonight.
 At 10 o'clock, the water had reached . stage of 2s feet. and was rising a half foot an hour. Tie weather bu- morning and possibly a foot higher when the crest of the flood arrived late Sunday afternoon.
 while the weather conditions tonight are much colder and show hurries are experienced at intervals. the changed conditions will have absolutely no ef- feet on the high water. At the head quarters, the rivers continue to rise. and scores of cities and towns in Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and west Virginia are partially in
 Tn the Pittsburg district alone, the damagg. t is estimated will Amount to several million dolIara The record flood of last year. when the water reached a stage of s6 1~2 feet. caused damage estimated at e10.000. 900. but sufficient warning was given to save much property.
 A conssrwafive estimate places the number of men thrown out of work by the food here at 10000. This great in crease to the army of unemployed is expected to rssult in much suffering. The men are employed in the miils. manufacturing plants. business houses and coal mines located in the food zone. For weeks. charitable organisa- tions have been soliciting funds for the unemployed and today additional ap- peale were made for contributions to assist the food victims.
 The high water was responsible for numbers of narrow escapes and thrili- Ing rescues. but iap to late tonight no fatalities have been reported. During the Hood last year q score of persons met death directly or indirectly on ac- count of the high water.

Suppose you have picture OF the Annuncia'

a garden when the angel came to her: that is
in accordance with the Protevangelium which
says that Mary was chosen by lot from among
the virgins OF Nazareth to spin the ro!ai
purple Of the Temple veil: one day. as
she was returning from the fountain with her
pitcher Of water, the angel met her and SAID
"Hail. thou who art full of grace! and when
she went back to her spinning he came asa'h

main divisions: those which represent its ac.
tual journey and those which show the Holy
Family resting either by the way. or In the
land of Egypt. The paintings which deal with
the latter theme-commonly known as the ke-
pose-include some Of the most beautiful works
Of art. especially during the last three centu-
ries Many details have been introduced from
the legends OF the flight in which the apocry-
phal History Of the Nativity Of Mary" is par
ticularly rich. This is one Of them: The HOLY
Family rested by the road beneath date palm
and Mary desired to eat Of the fruit; but 1t
hung high above her head Joseph. bein8
weary, was not able to climb the tree. But the
Child Jesus knew his mothers wish, and at his
command the tree bent down its branches
Then he thrust his fingers into the sand. and
a spring OF water gushed forth. The next morn
ing Jesus thanked the obedient tree. and prom
ised that one Of its branches should be carried
by the angels and planted in Paradise.
The Triumph Of the lnnoeents.
The landscape is half shadowed by night
hut the moonbeams weave a fmy radiance
over plain and the distant hills where the
watch fires are growing red. In front marches
Joseph, with his basket Of tools on his back'
a sturdy son of toll. The mother. noble
woman of Palestine. carries the child IN her
arms, happy and fearless. But who are these
little children that run and float beside the
travellers? They are the spirits of the muir
dered innocents of Bethlehem. set free to fol-
low the infant Saviour. and knowing that
through him they have entered by the gate OF
death into eternal Joy. Three tiny ghosts IN
the rear have not yet felt his presence nor
caught sight of him, and the pain and terror
of mortality are heavy upon them. But the
others are radiant and rejoicing as ransomed
souls; and at their feet rolls the river OF NE
breaking into shimmerng bubbles In wnicn
the glories of heaven are reflected Joseph
does not see the spirits. doubt whether even
Mary sees them clearly. But Jesus recognizes
his former playmates with Joy. He leans from
his mothers arms to greet them, holding out =
handful Of wheat, the symbol Of the bread OF
Heaven
It is all mystical, visionary. unreal! Or 10
It a true picture to the eye Of what faith be-
holds in the religion Of Jesus? Surely II this
gospel has any meaning 1t 10 the bringing OF
iirht and blessing to the suffering little ones
Of earth; deeper compassion and tenderer
care for them, and the promises Of heaven
