Little Danger OF Life From Lightning

Why are so many people, brave
under all other circumstances, so
deathly afraid of thunder and lightn-
ing?
1t is not because lightning is so dam
gerous, for il isn't half as dangerous
as going out OF the house on an icy
morning, walking down the cellar
stairs, or a hundred other things we
do every day, without a thought Of
personal harm. More people are kill
ed each year by falling building ma
terial, more die from fright, than are
killed by lightning. The Census Bur-
eau shows only 100 people killed bv
lightning in this entire country during
the year 1906 and only 80 OF people
were killed in the cities. Heat and
sun killed 7o3 during the same year;
2o3 died from cold and freezing, and
4,3o5 were drowned.
But you will find it quite a waste of
time during thunderstorm to try to
ease the fears OF person who is
afrail, by telling him or her that the
chances OF being killed by lightning
are less than two in a million: they
oubt his mortuary knowledge And
after the storm has passed and nerves
are steadied, the woman who was so
frightened afew minutes before will
start getting supper on the gas stove,
smiling through her tears that the
danger has all passed, and only laugh
ing il you venture the remark that
twice as many people are killed by
gas stoves as by lightning Country

MIRACLE BURIAL VAULT

CONCRETE is used for many

In using sectional vault the

A Message From St. Mary'S in the Woods

McQuady, Ky, June Especial. y
All is gloriously beautiful here. Not
withstanding, the cool weather, so un-
usual for springtime and the early days
of summer, nature has opened in full
blast and beautifed every nook and
corner around ST. Mary's of The Woods.
This magnificent Catholic church that
was started one year ago last May is
nearly completed. 1t is a marvellous
piece of work 1t has been built under
the direction of Father Knue and the
members of his congregation have each
given so much of their money, time and
labor to the erection of both the church
and parrish house. Father Kaue says
everything is paid for as it is used and
there will be no heavy debt hanging
over the building when finished.
The church is built of stone. 1t

is 55x6O feet; has a tile roof,
large basement, handsome auditorium
and is furnished with water. heat and
lights. This edifice would have cost
$50, 900 if it had been built by contract.
Father Knue is practical mechanic.
He understands plumbing and did all
this class of work in the building. He
can do anything from driving nail to
running gas engine, besides having
the gift of imparting the belief of his
church 10 the people.
Visitors are always welcome to St.
Mary's of the Woods and the interest
of all friends is appreciated by the
members. They are most grateful to
the Breckenridge News for the kind
notices given the work of Father Knue
and his flock.
