EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

I've been meditating today on the
surprising amount of pleasure to be
gotten by juggling about a few pieces
of wood; in other words, rearranging
the furniture in a room.
The spring fever, the call of the red
gods. the spring passion for change
and wandering is strong in your blood
some morning, and as it is impossible
for you to find an outlet in travel you
are forced to seek a vent for these &C
tivities within the home Consequent
~, it being the morning to clean the
living room, you promptly decide that
that room has remained in status quo
too long, and forthwith you advance
upon it and proceed to try out your
old knowledge of perturbation and
combination with the amount of floor
space and wall space ard the pieces of
furniture for your algebraic quantities.
Happily you find the sum much
easier than in your student days and
visible objects much easier to deal
with than paper and pencil and elu-
sive Y. Y, rs
You begin, of course by sitting on
the couch, surveying the scene and
taking stock of those eXasperating
pieces of furniture that for some IN
around. The desk must stay right
there between the two windows be-
cause that is the only good light, and
the secretary can't be moved because
it is the only piece OF furniture OF Just
the right shape to cover that marred
place in the paper, and, of course, the
reading table must remain in the mid
die of the room, but the couch and the
two bookcases and the tea table and
the big mission chair and the three
smaller wicker chairs can all be Jug
gled about to suit your fancy.
So, with the aid of your maids stout
arms you let that fancy run riot, try
ing this effect and that piling the
books all out of the bookcases. pulling
the pictures down from the walls,
dragging the couch hither and thfther,
and juggling the chairs about like the
little pellets in pigs in clover
Finally, by dint of many appeals to
your maids judgment. by exhaustive
demands on your own taste. and by
aid of the wise decision handed down
by a neighbor who dropped in to Dor
row a dash of cinnamon-her grocer
being unaccountably late with her
order-you make the fna, decision
and proceed to restore order out of the
chaos you have created
Just about here your enthusiasm

Strange how very different and un-

now that couch, why it looks just like
a visitor sitting there in that corner,

Strange, too how an arrangem ent

renewing action of the years can be
recommended again to YOU. Two years
ago, when you made John help you
take all the books out of those book
cases, you declared you'd never have
them there again. And now you've
put them back. All, we'll that was
two years ago. Isn't that reason
enough for your change of mind2 And
truly, they do look different now Per-

are dear little manager. The chill

do of anything new, and altogether
you are sure that you have had very
profitable and interesting morning,
and feel quite as elated and excited
and incidentally as tired-as if you
had been in town shopping and spent
a lot of money. And just think, all
that pleasure and excitement quite,
quite, free gratis.
Some terribly artistic person has
recently informed US that IN every

work of the pier built to uphold loco
motives and loaded trains. All about
we're strange freaks of the explosion.
In the train shed Of the terminal
nearly the whole southern exposure
of the glass roof collapsed showering
passengers with broken glass. One
man was struck by twenty-pound
fragment and so severely cut that he
died. An engineer in shunting his
locomotive was blown from his cab
and died of a fractured skull. A tug
boat captain was hurled from his
wheel house and fished out of the
water Is minutes later, swimming
amout the southern side Of the de-
molished pier. Inside the passenger
station there vas damage visible ev-
erywhere. Two ferry boats of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, the
Sommerville and Plainfield, lay IN the
terminal slips and third, the Lake

All of them careened violently and
all of them were showered with their
own glass. Many of the wounded
passengers in these boats came to
New York for treatment at hospitals.
In New York the terror was lntensl'
fed by uncertainty. For half an
hour nobody knew what had hap
pened or where it had happened.
Those in rocking skyscrapers thought
the lower floors had been torn from
under them. Those in the street
thought the massed towers above
them had been toppled down. Liter
ally acres of glass were broken.
There were incipient panics in bus1-
ness buildings and factories as far
north as the Bronx. The jar crossed
many telephone and fire alarm wires
down town and all sorts of compl1-
cations ensued. Fire engines were
dashing hither and thither in quest
of non-existent fires. Terrified ten
ants made matters worse by turning
in alarms that had not sounded OF
their own accord. Ambulances could
not come fast enough and express
wagons were commanded for duty IN
their place.

Dickinson, N. D., Feb. 1.-Five hun.
dred people were in attendance the
second day of the State Dry Farming
Congress, notwithstanding a fall Of
six inches of snow the night before,
and the sudden cold spell. There
was great interest up to the last hour
of the speaking. This Is considered
the greatest of any farmers meet
ing ever held west of Fargo. Thomas
Shaw, soil culture expert for the
Great Northern, gave. two addresses
during the day. w. c. Palmer spoke
on corn growing; Col. R. A. Wilkin-
son on the development Of North Da-
kota farming; Superintendent F. :.
Liniield on the work at the Bozeman,
Montana, station; and several Others
made short addresses. The grain and
vegetable awards were interesting.
The Dickinson experiment station had
twenty-five varieties IN the competi-
tive list: forty ars of grains, sheaves
of grain, alfalfa hay and grain. Stark
county has the distinction of organiz'
ing the first county dry farming con-
gress in the United States, which was
perfected by the election of Thomas
Underhull as president, and Fred
Maser secretary. Each town in the
county has a vice president and the
plan is TO hold weekly meetings dur.
ing the present month. Morton coun'
ty is also organizing and will hold a

of New Jersey and in the widespread
ruin that followed seven men are
known to have been killed and seven
luore ere missing, hundreds were
wounded and varying reports lrave
from fifteen to twenty more unec'
counted for. Thirty-two seems to be
q conservative estimate of the dead
and the property damage will hardly
fall below $75O,OOO. The cause OF
the explosion probably will never be
known. The Jersey Central termin-
al was wrecked: three ferry boats In
slips were torn and splintered, lower
Manhattan across the river was shak-
en- from the street level to the top
of the Singer tower; severe damage
was done In Brooklyn and Staten
Island and to the immigrant deten'
ton station on Ellis Island; the shock
was felt at Amityville, Long Island,
IS miles distant and in New Jersey
at Long Branch. forty-five miles away.
The damage is so widely scattered
that 1t is impossible as yet to more
than roughly estimate it but In Man.
haitian alone it is placed at 100000
and on Ellis Island at from $1O,Ooo
to $25,OOO. In all, three-quarters OF
a million appears to be a fair esti'
mate. The lighter receiving the dy-
Mantle, the Katherine W., owned by
James Healing of Jersey City, van

men including the master, Edward
Traver. Alongside was the lighter
Whistler which was so shattered that
she sank with her crew of two while
the Swedish steel barkentine 1ngrid
was stripped of her rigging and the
lives of two deck hanks snuffed out.
Fragments of one mans head was
found swinging high on tangled pieces
of rope. The Katherine w. was tied
to the outer end of the pier and a
crew of dock hands was unloading
the consignment of 50-pOund boxes
from two freight cars to the lighter
when the crash came. One report
was to the effect that the cargo was
consigned to contractors for blasting
along the Palisades; another that 1t
was bound for Havana. With the
explosion the Katherine w. simply
disappeared; not a splinter of her has
been found. Only the Whistler's

DEMOCRATS. LOCK
h0RNS0N TARIFF

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1. - The
democratic members of the senate and
house appear to be getting ready to
lock horns on the permanent tariff
board measure, a situation which 60.
publican leaders are said to be doing
little to discourage. The fact that the
democratic of the two branches of con.
gress may be found in opposite camps
was disclosed today when the senate
republican leaders began canvass to
determine whether they can master
enough votes to pass the house bill.
IT was said that more than half of the
democratic senator's announced that
they would, oppose the tariff board
measure. 1t wass tated also thetta
democratic conference would be held
in a few days and an effort made to
line up the senate minority against
the bill. When It passed the house &
few nights ago, this result was ACCOM-
plished largely by democratic support,
under the leadership of speaker-elect
Champ Clark.
