There never was road yet that

less you stand still you've got to travel
one way or the other. There's con-
siderable crowd goin' both ways on
this highway Of life, and that bein'
the case it's just as easy and a whole
lot pleasanter to have company.
Whether a mans goin' to heaven or
goin' to the devil it's better to be So
ciable. l never did have any use for
the fellow who flocks by himself to
practice either his virtues or his vices.
Now, take it for granted that you
want to go in the right direction, and,
if so, you'll find the only real crowd
that's goin' your way is in the church.
They're in the church primarily, I
guess, because of its promises. but
apart from that they're in it because
Jordan, as the old song says. is

DEATH LIST IS LARGE
Thirty-seVen Lives Lost in the
Southern Storm.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 16.-With the
known death list already reaching a
total of thirty-seven, and with thir-
teen others reported dead, with scores
seriously injured and many others
painfully bruised and with the prop
erty damage running to $1,000,000 or
more, the havoc and destruction of
the storm which, swept Middle and
West Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia
and portions of Arkansas and South
Carolina grows hourly as reports are
received from remote points and as
normal wire communication is gradu-
ally being resumed.
The storm was probably the worst
that has visited this section of the
South in years, being intense in it's
destroying fury and widespread in it's
area. Halves of counties were laid in
waste and ruin. Towns were de-
stroyed, plantations were greatly
damaged and from all sections of the
storm-swept area come reports of loss
Of life, ruin and desolatieu.

another. The Sivert expedition, which

dismal failure, the entire crew losing

from cold, but it has been later ascer
tanned that they must have been poi
soned. A search party found three OF
the men sitting dead at table tha,

TOO MUCH TOBACCO.

In that'll promote matrimonial har-
mony like a good cigar smoked at
home. You never heard of man
with a cigar in his mouth breakin' up
the furniture or draggin' his wife
around the room by the hair of her
head, did you? No. | guess not. Nor
it don't induce him to sneak out into
the kitchen and kiss the cook, either.
Its influence is always in the direc-
ton of virtue. Many a crisis. domes-
tic and otherwise, has been prevented
by the contemplative restraint of a
good cigar. You needn't smile, little
girl. That's no joke. OF course you
can always get too much of a good
thing. Too much tobacco will work
harm in time, but so will too much
ham and eggs, and the man who
smokes at home isn't half as likely to
overdo it as the man who has to go
out in the woodshed or to the corner
saloon or to the club.

DEN MARK.

The Danish rigsdag has adopted ma

the erection of forts north and south
of Copenhagen at various points On
the coast of Sjealland to prevent a
possible landing and surprise by hos.

be razed and the fleet will be fur rther

parties have been split wide open by
the same disturbing factor. Now that
the defense bills have been passed, it
is expected that J. C. Christensen

deal of agitation against his retention
in the cabinet because of his alleged
connection with the scandal arising
from charges of corruption against
Minister of Justice Alberti last year
