SEATTLE, Wash, March i. - Re
ports from wellington say that TWEEN
ty-three lives are believed TO nave
been lost in the avalanche that over
whelmed the Great Northern's Spo-
kane express this morning. Two pas
senger trains, seven locomotives and
Supt. O'Neil's private car were buried.
O'Neill escaped injury.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 1.-Great
Northern officials have received word
that train No. 25, that runs between
Seattle and Spokane, Wash, was
swept off the track and buried by
snowslide at wellington, Wash, at
4:40 o'clock this morning
Information is meager and it is not
known whether there are any fata1i-
ties. Local officials do not think that
any one was killed, as the train had
been stalled at Wellington for three
days and they are of the opinion that
the passengers were at hotels in the
city.
Later advices state that the Great |
Northern transcontinental mail and |
express train No. q and four electric |
motors used to pull trains through |
the Cascade tunnel were also swept |
from the tracks and carried 100 feet
by the avalanche. The mail and ex-
press train does not carry passengers
and as it had been stalled for several
days, it is not thought there was any
one aboard.
Traffic is at a standstill between Cut
Bank and White Fish, Mont, and be-
cen fLeavenworth and Seattle,
Wash Rotary snowplows have been
started from st. Cloud and Minol for
the west to help clear the tracks.

While snooning in his office.
The vision came to view,
For he saw an angel enter.
Dressed in garments white and new
Said The angel: I'm from Heaven.
The Lord Just sent me down
TO bring You up to glory
And put on your golden crown.
You've been friend to everyone.
And worked both night and day.
You've doctored many thousands
AAd from few received your pay.
so We want you up in glory.
For you have iabOred hard,
And the sood Lord is preparing
lonr eternal just reward
IHen the angel and doctor
Started up toward Glory's gate.
But when passing close to nades
The angel murmured. Wait:
i have here Il place 10 show you.
It's the hottest place in hell.
Where The ones who never paid yor
In torment always dwell
And behold the doctor saw there
His old patients by the score.
\nd grabbing up a chair and fan.
He wished for nothing more.
V ut was bound TO sit and watch then
As they'd sizzle, squirm and burn:
AM his eyes would rest on debtor,
Whichever way they'd turn.
Said the angel, Come on doctor,
There, the pearly gates | see"
But the doctor only muttered.
This is Heaven enough for me-"
He refused to 20 on further.
'ut preferred to sit and gaze
At the crowd of rank old deadheads
As they lay there in the blaze.
Just then the doctors Office clock
Cuckooed the hour of seven.
And he awoke to find himself
In neither hell nor heaven.

since that time A. c. Cruce has
spoken in that section and explained

will carry everything. Mr.. Baliew

Was torn to tatters, and her friends de"

She was the sort by whom fool men were

And that if they were she they'd have

Than to give cause for rumors undenied.
In fact, they came to the conclusion then
That Miss Ben Adhem should not be

Held in their friendship as she once had
been,
But that she should be spurned with
glances keen
And that, while some reports might moi
be true,
OF course "a person never really knew!"

HINTS FOR FARMERS
A Place For EVERYTHING.

Recently l stepped into a farmers
barn and looked about, writes CORE
spondent Of Farm and Fireside. The
harness was thrown on the hall floor
in a promiscuous heap. The saddles
were over in a corner, and / noticed
the mice had been working on them
A currycomb and brush and three
horse blankets lay near by. The hall
way seemed to be a general "catch
ALL" ! even noticed a hatchet and saw
living loose. and several halters were
stretched across the floor.
The owner of all this material was
as slovenly with his farming as with
his barn. There was no air of pros
perity about his place.
A short time afterward l was in the
barn that belonged to this mans neigh
Dor, and it showed Il different view
The owner seemed to have a place for
everything. In the hallway was the
harness, but each set hung on its own
peg. A box near the stalls contained
brush and currycOmb. At one end ol
the hallway found miniature work
shop and bench, and every tool was in
it's place. Horse covers and halterS
hung Oh nails in their corners, anc
everything about had the appearance
