BLOWN TO PIECES
AT A CANNON'S MOUTH.

Standing in front Of an old-fash-
toned brass cannon, ramming the wad-
ding down, Paul Paulson, a member Of
the Escanaba division Of the Michigan
State naval reserves, vas literally
blown from the muzzle OF the gun
when the charge exploded premature
ly. The reserves had been called out
to attend a celebration given in honor
of the organization of the Changers in
that section and were about to fire an
honorary salute to Mayor Rose, of
Milwaukee, the principal speaker of
the day, when the accident occurred.
Fully 10000 people were in attendance
when the tragedy occurred and at
least 1000 of them were eyewitnesses
to the death of young Paulson. So in
terested did the farmers become in the
work OF loading the old-fashioned
piece that they crowded in among the
gun crew and hampered them in their
work. Several times they were or
dered back, but without avail. The
work of inserting the fuse and prim-
ing powder brought many of them so
close to the breech of the weapon that
they crowded about the wheels and
powder boxes. Paulson was at the

l have worked hard because I like
the doings OF things.
As I grow older 1 am beginning to
think more Of my fellowman.
1t has always seemed wiser to me
to sleep on the roof than in the base
ment.
To achieve what the world calls sue
cess, a nan must attend strictly to
business and keep a little ahead Of the
times.
Success is the accomplishment of
any one task as well or better than the
same task can be accomplished by an.
other.
People seem to take more stock in a
man who talks than in a man who
acts. But this is a day devoted to
isms, and it will pass.
1 have always been too busy to think
much about myself. The doctors are
beginning to tell me that the other
fellow ought to have a chance to do
something.
Every tide has its rise and fall, and
one would be living in a FOOLS para
disc not to take the ebb into consider
alton in figuring out his future re-
quirements.
We have had monkey dinners and
the idle and foolish vaporings and
routs Of society. Now is the time for
less champagne and trufles and more
roast beef and milk.

department and out again or who VEN
ture into the maelstrom of skirts and
parasols to purchase an occasional
pair of purple sunset socks. If wom-
en- didn't spend money the merchant
would be a rare curiosity to be seen
only in the dime museum.
The small items are the ones that
count up the fastest and count for
practically nothing. When a woman
gets a hat mad on and futters into
a millinery-shop to go insane for an
hour or two, there's no limit to the
number of hats she may select. AS
long as she keeps from fainting she
can continue to pick out, even though
her hair net may fall by the wayside
and her false puffs give up the ghost.
At a fashionable milliner's establish
ment few hats are listed under $40. A
single plume may cost 5000. A WON
an can spend $1,000 for skypieces
without great fatigue of mind or body.
And If she has a fortune she freuuent-

When it m to jewelry, there is
of course no end to the outpouring of
gold. Diamonds and pearls, fligree
and emeralds, rubies and turquoise all

ton.

How much money is a oma likely
to spend? All that she doesn't save,
and saving isn't her particular spe-
cialty or profession. Is it important
that she shall spend $1,000 a year on
silky raiment, fine feathers. tootsie-
coverings Of gold and bronze, silk no
siery and sweet nothings of ace with
ribbons run through? 1t nay be i'm
portant, but to most Of us it's not
true. Mrs. Howard Gould says that
she requires $4,000 a month, or $780,
900 a year, in order to live decently
as BELTS a lady of fashion. The news
of it rather dazed some who have
dashed about in grand style and much
fashion on 50 a week, and put money
in the bank during the dashing.
If it were not for the women coin
fingers, what would become Of this
great country of, ours, anyway? There
would be no need of tariff discussions
and the infant industries would die
from lack of n~ourishment. How many

HURRICANE IN SOUTH
CAUSES GREAT DAMAGE
Florida and Cuba Storm Swept
S7,ooo,ooo Damage Done
at Key West.
CITY IS UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Nine Cigar Factories Destroyed
P1undering Begins as Soon as
Wind Slackens.

AS a result of the hurricane which
struck the southern coast of Florida
Monday morning Key West is a mass
of wreckage and the damage to prop
erty is estimated at So, 1000, 900. Mar
tlal law was proclaimed by the mayor.
and the Key West guards are patrol
ling the city. The United States gov
ernment has been asked to dispatch
troops there without delay to assist in
patrolling the storm swept area. Con
altlons are chaotic and few persons re-
main in their homes, hundreds of
which either have been totally wrecked
or damaged. 1t is thought that many
lives have been claimed along the
coast.
The storm reached it's height at 1
o'clock in the afternoon. when the
wind had an estimated velocity Of 100
miles an hour. There was a hard,
steady blow from 8 a. m. to 3 p. m,
when the wind began to die down, and
by 4 o'clock the center Of the hurricane
had passed.
Besides the several score of resi-
dences either wrecked or blown from
their foundations, nine factories were
partly destroyed, including the Ha-
Vana-American, Martinez. Nichols, Ruy
Lopez, Manuel Lopez, Fleitas Toreys,
Cortez, and Wolf cigar manufactures.
Two Of the city fire engine depart
ments were destroyed and the fremen
narrowly escaped. The top of the
First National Bank was blown off, the
postofice damaged, and two running
gears Of the government coaling sta
ton were wrecked.
AS soon as the wind had subsidized,
plundering began. The city police
force was unable to cope with the sit
uatlon, and the mayor decided to take
stringent measures to suppress the
footing, his proclamation Of martial
law resulting. Almost every national
tty is represented among the city's pop
ulation of more than $4,000, about
one-half Of whom are employed in the
cigar manufactures, sponge fisheries,
and salvage companies.

LOVE LEADS TO PENITENTIARY.
Woman, Convicted Of stepdaughter's
Murder, Accuses Husband.

AVA -
Murder, Accuses Husband.
On behalf OF Mrs. Rae Krauss, of
Hartford City, Ind, now serving a life
sentence in the woman's prison for the
murder of her stepdaughter, Crystal
krauss, Attorney J. A. Hindmann has
dled a cross complaint in the divorce
proceedings brought by William r.
krauss. In the complaint Mrs. Krauss
says her husband murdered his own
daughter and they agreed that she
should be punished for it because the
court would be more lenient with q
oma and because krauss, who Is
wealthy and prominent, could use his
influence to get a pardon for his wife.
The complaint alleges that she was
"cajoled, threatened and coerced" by
her husband into signing a confession
which she wrote, and that he has not
i've up to his part of the agreement
made at that time. namely, to get a
pardon for her. She said that she as
5umed the role Of murderess out of her
love for her husband.
The death of Crystal Krauss was
n of the greatest mysteries in In
diana. The girl was IS years old and
was popular. Her ~stepmother seemed
fond of her and the two we're insep-
arabic Her death was caused by
strychnine poisoning, the most dam
aging evidence being given by a milk
mans boy, who said Mrs. Krauss sent
him to a drug store to get ten cents
worth of StTychnina. The next u15-n,
ing Crystal Krauss was dead.

and gloves a woman can spend q for
tune every year. "a pair-of corsets Of
good make will ost S25 and no cor
set is considered fit to wear after a
month or six weks-that is, by the
coin-distributor Who loves to let the
money fly away Or fly by, as the case
may be. Handkerhiefs must be edged
with real lace, gloves must be of the
finest quality and discarded instead Of
cleaned, hosiery must never be worn
after a toe has peeked through or a
heel has developed little windows.
U~ndermuslins must be handmade,
trimmed with real lace edge or done
with finest hand embroidery. Negligee
hutters and fril1s can be most expen-
sive, and dressing robes and kimonos
are no trifing matter.
Mrs. Howard Gould isn't the only
woman of eXtravagant tastes. There
are others, and we hear about them
frequently. Miss Guilia Morosini, the
New York girl of prominence, says
that she cannot dress well on less
than 5000, 600 a year. 1t was a common
report that she spent half that amount
for gowns for the horse show one
year..
Mrs. Russell Sage is another money
finger. It is said that her husband
earned 5000 a day, and she has been
giving money away at the rate of
$1,000 a day, going him $4,000 better.
In one year she donated S14, 000, 900 to
charity. At the death of her husband
Mrs. Sage was estimated to be worth
500, 900 600. The Gould family con-
trolls $50, 900, 900. Mrs. Hetty Green's
fortune ranges between $500 Joe 900
and $50, 900 900.
Once again: How much money can
a spend? The reply to the
problem is: First show us the WON
an. There are Katherine Goulds and
there are Hetty Greens, the spend
thrills and the misers. What would
bring joy to Mrs. Gould would create
misery in the thrifty soul of Het. The
talent of one is to waste and the abil-
ity of the other is to save.
Few ome can say how much
money a can spend. The ma
iority have never had a chance to find
out. Perhaps it is just as well since
the genuine supreme ecstacy of ex-
travagance is to buy something you
don't need when you cannot possibly
afford it. Yes?

The last stage was to obtain the gliding machine, mount an engine on this and
set it to dre one or more prUMers The action of the screw was to force the machine
along the goundf rt and then as speed increased and air resistance grew greater, the
whole apparatus would be fitted bodily IF the ground, provided the upward air pressure
vas able to overcome the downwar pressure due to the weight Of the appTatus. AS
long as a certain minimum speed is obtained and a certain minimum air pressure kept
