FLANK BLOWN THROUGH TREE
Evidence of Freakish Force of Wind
During Tornado That Tore
Through Georgia.

Each day brings to light some new
freak of the tornado which caused
death and destruction in this part
of the state few days ago.
AS an evidence Of the freakish
force of the wind a big pine tree and
a large plank on the property of the
Hon S. NJ. Roberts, about twelve
miles from here, are now joined as
if done by an expert carpenter.
Although the tree was a large one
the plank was picked up and driven
through the center as neatly as if
shot from a gun. Not only was the
plank shot through the tree, but it
went through without tearing the
tree.
The plank was picked up in the
yard of Mr.. Roberts saWmill and
other planks in the pile were not
molested by the wind. So singular
does Mr.. Roberts consider this ac-
ton of the tornado that he has post
ed a notice telling how the plank
was driven through the big pine and
ordering that it shall not be cut
down.-Atlanta Georgian.

Ills Two Temptations.

Billy Rohelon, brakeman on tho Long Island railroad. has two qualities that gc far toward making human success name1ys
 He fs honest and red-headed
 Biily's quality of honesty keeps him on the straightway tracks, and his red-head- ed determination furnishes plenty of mo- tor power for speed.
 The other day he was suddenly con- fronted by two great temptations.
 He found bagful of diamonds, pearls and cash. Tho contents of the bag were worth $S0O00.
 That was temptation No 1.
 And this is the way Billy Robelon met 1t: He went straight to headquarters and made every effort to discover the owner. who proved to be Mrs. Schwab of New York. Q very wealthy woman.
 Then the son of Mrs. Schwab did a inc thing. He gave Billy bunch of money and offered him a lifetime job working for Mrs. Schwab at s1oo a month.
 That was temptation No. 2
 This was the situation: Robelon is 22 years old and has . wife and baby. That s100 a month lifetime job looked good to him. It was moro money than he was getting. He might lose his job. He knew how hard 1t was sometimes to get a new job
 That was one side of the problem.
 He and his wife talked 1t ovsr He wanted to get up in the world all right, but he wanted to get up on merit. by his every honest. earnest mans desire.

BIG CAVES FOUND IN LAVA BEDS.
Discoveries In Klamath Region a
 Source of Wonder to Tourists.

From the Portland Oregonian.
 The Modac lava beds in California, near the Klamath county line, long a place of historic as well as scenic interest. have grown more prominent lately from reason of new discoveries, especially as to the caves, of which there are a great many ia this region, all among lava beds of the ruggedist description.
 AS one traverses Tulu lake. the south ern margin of which rests on the lava field. about 40 extinct volcanoes can be counted In the region south Of the lake. Many of these ara weathered and ancient, covered with shrubs and trees, and others are absolutely bare, and the reddish lava about their craters has 8 modern look.
 Following the lava flows from these cinder cones are vast crevices and crink- led ridges of lava and caves of great extent and of various forms. A man who lives in this region, and who has spent 30 years as cowboy, claims to have discovered cave many miles in extent, which he calls the Mammoth Cave of California, and steps are being taken to make a thorough exploration of It's vast subterranean recesses.
 A party of IS persons from Klamath Falls has just returned from a four days outing in the lava beds, and report most interesting outing in that land of dead volcanoes.
 Several new caves were discovered by the party, one of which, some 200 feet in length, 50 in width, and with a level ceiling 70 feet above the floor rho most important discovery made by the party. however was of a two-story cave, which Is, indeed, one of tho wUxffs marvels. A hole was found some 10 feet in width in the bottom of large cave. A lan- tern was lowered on rope untfl 1t was evident that there was another floor with surrounding cavity sorne s or % feet below. A small pine tree was cut, divest- cd of its limbs and brought into the cave. This was lowered until 1t touched the lower floor. and by 1t the party de- seconded to great corridor 90 or 70 feet wide. extending apparently parallel with the corridor above in both directions from the point of descent. The corridor is not less than 800 feet in extent and is obstructed at the ends by loose material fallen from above. No thermometer was at hand to determine the temperature, but 1t is cool enough to contrast greatly with tho degree above ground, and icicles five or six feet in length depend from the ceiling fin many places.

ing. The superintendent of the Tide water oil company, in Bayonne, N. J., where the so-called petroleum butter factory was to be located, explains that his company has sold land upon which butter factory is to be erected by dairy company, the butter to be made as it ordinarily is, from cream.
 The mere fact that an oil company had sold tract of land for a butter fac tory gave rise to the preposterous story that petroleum butter was to be offered to the public Any chemist with the slightest knowledge of the constituents of mineral oils knows the utter impossibility of producing an edible compound from petroleum Vas cline is the nearest approach to butter of any petroleum product, and the cost of It's production would make it i'm possible to offer 1t as a substitute for the creamerys product.

Oh, scissorsl

From Evcrybody's Magazine.
 The first grade teacher had been able to spank Tommy with the greatest en- thusiasm, but his next teacher had not reached the point where she felt she could do justice to him in spite of his naughtiness.
 Send him to me when you want him spanked" said the first grade teacher one morning after her colleague had re- lated his many misdemeanors.
 About eleven o'clock Tommy appeared at the first grade teachers door. She dropped her work. seized him by the arm, dragged him to the dressing room, turned him over her knee and did her duty.
 When she had finished she said, Well, Tommy. what have you to say?'
 Please, miss, my teacher wants the scissors"

 Some day he will be division superin- tendent or maybe traffic manager and then-superintendent or president of tho road. Just as sure as he lives he will succeed.

 This Is not Q Sunday school book story but leaf out of the real life of real man.
 But it is pleasant to record that, like the hero of the Sunday school books, the hero meets his reward.
 Since Billy Robelon faced and con quered his two temptations he has been promoted to be conductor.

MURDER MOTHER TONGUE.
University President Says Our College
 Graduates Are llliterate.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 That the American people are murder ing their mother tongue and one of the great opportunities for reform at the present time is to teach them to rever- ence and prize the English language, and also to speak and write it decently, was the opinion expressed by President Faunce of Brown university, at Chautau- qua, N. r.
