These pictures. made Immediately
AFTER the tornado had struck this city,
give an accurate idea of the tremen-
dous damage done by the storm. The
sections Of the city where the damage
was worst were completely destroyed,
and it is small wonder that the early
estimate placed the death list at sew
eral hundred. Many escaped in what
seemed almost miraculous manner,
and the total number of deaths was
about eighty. The financial loss
amounted TO nearly S1O,OOo,oOO.

Pugnacity of Arctic Dogs.

Arctic dogs seem TO love lighting Tor lis
own sake, and so long as II is a hight
they are said to be Indifferent as TO why
they fight, how they tight and whom they
fight.
TWO dogs seeing another dog enjoying
meat can that has been empty for
months, will spring on hun, roll him over
and seemingly tear him 10 pieces. For
tunateIy, the wool is SO long and thick
that the attacking dog gets his mouth too
full vi hair 10 De able TO bite his antagon-
istS flesh.
The dogs know that their Vulnerable
points are the ears and belly. When a
dog is attacked by TWO or three OF his
companions he will run into snow bank,
shove his head in and lying on his Slom-
ach, lie: MS toes choke themselves with
the hair they tear out OF his back.
Sometimes a pack OF dogs will divide
irro cliques OF three or tour. For several
days everything proceeds smoothly IN
each friendly gang. Then one OF the set
ofeudS his mates and they give him
thrdShlng and exclude him from the gang
until their feelings have Gained down.
The dog thus sent 10 coventry keeps
away from his companions until he thinks
il sale to return. l. hen he will approach
them fawnIngy, waggng his tail as an
expression OF his wish 10 be again re-
celved into the gang. II his companions
arc still unrecohciled they greet HIM with
snarls and swapping teeth, and he retIres
to coventry for another spell.
A single dog, or team OF dogs, is al
lowedt to depart peacefully but not quietly
TOR the dogs ielt at home all howl dole
fully. But when the team comes back
its welcome IS rough and tumble ilght,
begun as soon as the men commepce 10
unharnesS il. The moment the harness
is Oft all is quiet.
AS soon as single dog appears in
sight OIL his return the other dogs gather
to attack him. Ii is then question Of
speed; If he can get TO his usual stop
ping place he is safe.
The cunning OF the Arctic dog is extra
ordinary. De Long records that on going
out one night he was surrounded by a
dozen dogs in state OF great excitement
Looking about 10 ascertain the cause,
De Long saw a good sized dog Cghead-iIrst
in barrel lying al an angle with only his
tail and Hanks visible He had gone in
for some waIrus meat and The other dogs
had not driven him out for the reason
that they were not able TO determine
whether he was a bully or coward.

a swallow tail coat that had TO be held TO
keep il from sweeping the floor.
This udicrous picture was too much
for The court, but the judge. between his
spasms Of laughter, managed TO ask the
boy his reason tor appearing Ia such
garb.
With wondering look, the lad fished in
an inner pocket and hauled the summons
from il, pointing out sentence with
solemn mien as he did So "To appear
in his fathers suit" il read.

A Chance For Investment.

We have received the following letter
offering an opportunity to invest in sure
thing. Being bit short of funds at pres
ent, we are forced to decline, but if any
of our readers wish TO 90 into the propo-
sitiou we will turn the chance over to
them. This is the plan, as described in
the letter aforesaid:
Dear Sir-Knowing that you are always
interested in and open for any investment
in good live business proposition, take
the liberty of presenting to you what
seems to me to be an excellent business
proposition and in which, no doubt, you
will take lively interest. Please advise
me the amount OF stock you wish to sub
scribe towards forming company for the
exploitation OF this idea.
The object OF this company is TO oper-
ate large cat ranch lear Bristol, Pa,
where land can be purchased cheaply.
To start with, we will collect about say
one million cats, each cat will average
twelve kittens a year. The skins will
sell from 10 cents for white ones to IS
cents for the pure black. We will have
about twelve million skins to sell at an
average of 80 cents apiece, making our
revenue about $l0,0OO.00 day, gross.
A man can skin fifty cats a day. He
will average 81 100 day for his labor. 1t
will take about one hundred men to op-
crate the ranch, therefore, the profit will
be So, 800 90 day.
We will feed the cats or rats and will
start rat ranch adjoining the cat ranch.
The rats will multiply four times as last
as the cats, and if we start with one hun
dred thousand rats, we will have four rats
day for each cat, which is plenty.
We will feed the cats on rats and in
turn will feed the rats on stripped car
casses of the cats, thus giving each rat
one-fourth OF cat.
1t will be seen by these figures, that the
business will be Self-acting and automat-
ic. The cats will eat the rats and the rats
will eat the cats, and we will get the
skins.
Awaiting your reply, | beg TO remain,
Yours very respectfully,

Suppose You Try Smiling.

Your burden is heavy. haven't doubt.
But others have loads they are carrying about.
And they are not whining.
Some people are glad il but half OF the way
Lies out Of the shadow. or part OF the day
They see the sun shining.
Suppose you try smiling.
know you are lonely but other hearts ache,
And bravely refuse TO be bitter. or break
Because OF life's sorrow.
They think Of the Joy in the land far away.
And hasten the slow-passing hours OF today
With hopes OF tomorrow.
Suppose you try smiling.
This funny old world is mirror. you know.
Turn its way with sneer. or face Of foe.
And you will see trouble.
But meet il with laughter and look full OF cheer
And back will come sunshine and love, true and
DEAR
Your blessing TO double.
Suppose you try smiling.
All places are open TO those who are glad.
Too many lack courage. too many are sad.
Those near you need cheering.
So sing with your burden-the way is not long,
Andifyou look upward your heart will grow strong
And skies will be clearing
Suppose you try smiling.

The United States Supreme Court has
just finally decided the case of the heirs
OF former Mayor Samuel McCue, OF
Charlottesville, Va, against the North
western Mutual Life Insurance Company
in favor OF the defendants. holding in ef-
feet that the policy of $4,000 held by
McCue could not be collected by his
heirs, because of the fact that he was
hanged for the murder OF his wife. The
case has been fought through the Virgin
ia Federal courts since 1905. The Su-
preme Court announced that public policy
demanded that death by the law should
render life insurance uncollectable.
