Louisville. Ky. Feb. 7.-Death for nearly score of people. losses of hun dreds of thousands of dollars in prop arty and the crippling of many lele- graph wires resulted between noon and dusk Friday from series of small cyclones and tornadoes which swept Dixie" from the Tennessee line to the Texas Panhandle The storms were accompanied in most cases by hail, darkness and terrific lightning flashes and sheets of rain.
 Most of the towns where the losses of life occurred are isolated so that news from them has been coming in but slowly. Known deaths thus far. however, are:
 Stuttgart. Ark.--Mrs. Garfield and child or Will Story, while Mrs. Story is reported fatally injured
 Sulphur Springs. Tex.-Mrs. c. Caldwell
 From Rolling Fork, Sharkey county. Miss, just before the telephone wires into Jackson were snapped, the word came that four had been killed, while Booth, Miss, reported to Birmingham that six had met death there From other towns, such as Ennis and Waxa- hachie. Tex, and Roscoe, La, many dwellings were said to have been de- molshed by the wind. Arkansas and upper Louisiana rice fields were in- lured to the extent of many thousands of dollars, while the larger cities had rains and darkness Illuminated by lightning bolts that made the atmos- phere quiver
 About dusk Chattanooga was lost on the wire running south from Louis vile via Nashville and has to be picked up from Memphis. The local operators heard the faint words: Terrific storm here black as night hail falling and then the saunders ceased to record. Knoxville was lost similarly shortly after that but later | both towns were lo9ped in when con l ditions there ceased in violence. In Louisville the entire day was dark and rainy. but there was no inti.
 nation of cyclone or of heavy wnd

 FridN afternoon by tornado which
 passed over this section of the state, but that wire communicates is i'm possible with the stricken locality At
 Kayose, mining camp west of Brf,lng. ham, on the Southern railway Friday. five houses were blown down, but only one man was injured a Mir. Logan. The property loss in the territory north of Birmingham appears to have
 been very large Telephone communi'
 cation to the north was impossible Friday night.

Shot a Rat.

The other day, on a Sunday after
noon in July, Paul T. Brady saw a
huge wharf rat run out of the St.
Johns cellar and make bee line for
the Brady home. In his early days,
Mr. Brady had been crack shot with
a shot gun, so he fastened inside and
brought out the family airloom,
slipped in a shell and creened around
the corner to look for Mr. Rat There
he sat, gnawing at the cellar window
screen, and Mr.. Brady up and let him
have it. Mr.. Rat toppled over as dead
as a door nail
Splendid" shouted the ladies from
the St Johns, who had seen the
slaughter. The rat measured fifteen
inches from tip of tail to end of snout
and Mr. Brady has been given a gold
medal by the family who like to see
him still young enough to wing good
game.

The Generous Baby.

A beautiful blonde baby girl, ex-
quisitely dressed, about fifteen months
old, was on ferry boat the other day
with her mother and another lady.
The little tot cried for a moment,
then when bottle was produced, lay
over on the seat, with her head in
one lap, and kicked up her little bare
legs in sheer happiness at the feast.
Then when she had enough she of
fered some to mamma, then some to
the lady near Each pretended to
take pull, but didn't, and smacked
their lips to please baby. Then the
cute little innocent, firing of other
forms Of amusement, the crowded
boat laughing the while, got down and
toddled up to young man on the OPP
posite seat, and offered him the bottle.
He shook his head and blushed. The
baby cried "Da! Dap and insisted,
while the young man turned redder
than a lobster and the crowd almost
exploded. 1t was funnier than
circus.

Base Ball

The Slaughter of the Innocents"
would be a pleasing title for the game
of baseball July 10th between the P.
A. c. and the Rabbits" a team
hailing from Babbitt, N. ]. This town
has been made famous by its soap,
which cleans up all known dirt, and
its ball club, which cleans up all the
amateurs that stand up against them.
That it clawed up Palisade, marked
its face by rubbing in the Rabbit
brand good and hard; was evident to
all who saw the finish and the small
Cd score, 20 to 5. The P. A. {. boys
were literally made monkeys of, and
this isn't a joke. The soap makers
made so much fun and runs that the
home boys were literally "lathered.A
Talk about being soft soaped, that
wasn't a marker to the cleaning Pal
isade got. 1t was like playing against
John McGraw's Giants. The results
couldn't have been any worse. The
cause was the superior playing of the
visitors and the infantile efforts OF
the home boys. Each man had an
excuse Logan pitched with cramps
in his stomach from eating sardines
and oil and vinegar salad. Bernie
Brady had cut the grass on the field
and it wasn't in him after that. Ed
gar Darby smoked cigarette during
play. Garfield May was too old and
decrepit Emory Douglas wasn't so
old, but wasn't in practice. Harry
Lane had a crouch on of some kind
and sat down in the field while the
balls peppered around him. Jimmie
Druck had butter fingers. Ray Dwig-
gins had the fumbles and "Lar' Dwig-
gins the hdgets. This is how it hap
pened. The Rabbits" stole home
from third with the catcher standing
upright with the ball in his hand, too
bewildered to touch the runners. It
was too comical for any use. Buckley
Wheeler's club could have beaten the
F. A. c. boys that day.

FALSE ALARM.
The Jacksons Hired Girl Comes in
Late and Creates Excitement.

When the w H. Jacksons retired
on the night of July Il, the impress
sion prevailed that the maid was in
her room So the burglar alarm was
set. But the maid was out. She
came in about midnight, just as some
Palisades Park young ladies were go
ing along Anderson Avenue. As the
maid entered the side door she set
off the burglar alarm.
And gee whiz! how it did ring. 1t
woke up the family and also startled
the maid as she entered. She looked
every minute to see the big eyes of
the burglar, so she retreated scream
ing to beat the band. Some one cried
"Burglarsl burglars" Then the
young ladies from Palisades Park
caught the infection and screamed TO
beat two bands. The entire neigh
borhood was soon astir, and whistles
blew the loud alarm for Carney, who
came running in response to the cry.
"Eere | ami Here l am' he said
coming up painting like porpoise. He
had a park officer with him, and both
were near out of breath. OF course
they couldn't catch any burglar when
there wasn't any around. The Jack
sons took the incident good naturedly
and the neighbors all laughed and
laughed and then laughed some.

How He Wanted His Chicken.

The Editors family was away on
their summer vacation. The first
Sunday when he was thinking that
the dinner hour was gone by full
hour, and when a nice hot broiler
would be about right for the cold bot
tie (of buttermilkD in comes the
cook:
How do you want your chicken,
SIR" she asked.
We'll, right now, if you please"
Eyes, but cold or hot?"
ooh, never mind, cold. I guess"
And he scored a bulls-eye.

The End Seat Hog.

On a Paterson car leaving the
ferry one day recently there was a
man on the entrance end of each Of
the sixteen seats, and no one on the
other side of them on any seat. 1t
shows that the end seat hog is as
natural as any other, and that most
men want the end seat or nothing.
The car gradually filled before leav-
ing, but each passenger had to fuss
and tumble and crawl over the end
seat man for a seat. The company
would be wise in abolishing the cross
seated cars altogether.

Clock Dial Regilded.

The ferry clock on the New York
at One Hundred and Thirtieth street,
has had its face and hands re-
gilded, so that now it shows up bright
enough to be seen from Broadway
and beyond. No excuse for missing
a boat now. The reason there isn't
a clock on the Jersey side of the ferry
is that the cars don't run by the
clock
