EXTRA SESSION NOT LIKELY.
Speaker Baker Says Only Four I'm
portant Bills Are Pending.
Continued from page IL

LANSING, Mich, April Ill can
see only one reason for calling a spe-
cial session of the legislature" said
Speaker Baker this morning. That
will be for congressional re-appor-
tionment when congress gives us ait
other member, as It probably will at
this special session.
There are only three or four bills
pending OF statewide importance, and
even the little bills are being cleaned
up rapidly. The story OF a special
session April 20 is foolish on its face
as this legislature does not formally
adjourn till May o.

LIGHTNING KILLED WORKMAN.

A recent heavy thunderstorm
caused q terrible accident involving
the death of nine men and the injur-
ing of ten others, at Grand Quevilly,
near Rouen, France lately. About
fifty masons and carpenters were
working on a large building which
was in the course Of construction,
when a thunderstorm broke. In
stantly the roof of the building,
where about two dozen men were
working, was struck by lightning.
The roof and the principal walls coll
lapsed. Some Of the men were
killed instantly-some by the light
ming, and others were crushed to
death.

cigar with his eyes shut the opera
ton would lose it's zest. A man who
had undergone q slight operation
upon one Of his eyes had to stay in .
darkened room for a week with his

his doctor told him he could smoke
if he liked. He jumped at the
chance, and, to his amazement,
found it afforded him not the slight
est pleasure.
To be sure, men often smoke in

rosy glow of the lighted end to be
