A Record HaiIstorm,

One Of the worst hailstorms ever
known in the United States occurred
Sept. s, 1898, in Nodaway county, Mis-
souri, The path of the storm was
about three miles wide and eighteen
miles long, its greatest violence being
felt over a region of four square miles
east of Clarmont. At one point in this
region the fall of hail was so heavy
that a drift unprotected by artificial
means remained lying on the ground
for four weeks after the storm At the
end OF that time people in the neigh
borhood We're found gathering the hail
for the purpose of making ice cream.
During the storm cylindrical pieces OF
ice were picked up four inches long
by about two and half in diameter.
The growing corn was practically all
destroyed. In field of eighty acres
only one stalk was left standing.-Chi-
cago News.

A stately lily, white as driftei snow;

To hearts that faint when storms Of sorrow

And white winged Hope points from the

To where the stately lily lifts its head.
