Nineteen Steers Killed by Lightning.

What is generally conceded to be the
seyerest electrical storm of the year
thus far for this section set in shortly
after midnight of last Saturday and
lasted an hour or more. The thunder
biffed- banged with earth-shaking force
and the lightning flashed with terroriz-
ing effect Fortunately no human lives
were extinguished and but few if any
buildings damaged. The destroying
force Of the raging elements seemed to
confine itself to live stock, cattle in
particular. From various quarters
came reports of one, two and three
head of cattle being killed, but heaven
artillery evidently centered its charge
on nineteen head of three-year-old
steers owned by Louis GRADER Of this
city. These animals were pastured
near Harker, about five miles west Of
here. They were discovered, and not
before Monday morning, lifeless under
large tree. So close had they hud-
died that. one though dead remained
standing, held in that position by its
fallen companions.
Mr.. GRADERS loss is quite heavy as
he carried only $500 insurance on the
animals.

In nearly all the contests Of wills
between husband and wife, she secret
ly hopes that his will prove the strong
er, but she will fight It out to the last
ditch TO find out, for she is determin-
ed to know: and she is confused and
distressed in soul If John falls down.
No woman wants the timid, fearful,
yes my dear" sort of a man for a
husband. She is far happier when she
is married to a masterful
Psychologically this reasoning may
be correct, but there is doubt of it's
ability to inspire the submissive hus-
band with courage to brave his spouse.
Come to think about it. aren't most
husbands, after all, suffering In SOME
form or another with that afhiction-
known as "henpeckitis?
The average lord OF creation boldly
boasts that he rules the roost. But

brands that have come down through

to persuade the 160-pound husband
that he is managing" things while, as
a matter of fact-the constructive, ge-
MUS originates in the more delicate
and sensitive brain of the 12O-pound
wife.
1t is just as well, too, that affairs
are thus regulated. For in those Sc
cret heart-to-heart sessions men some
times hold with themselves they ac-

that the intuition of woman is often
a surer guide than the brute logic of
