Effect of an Explosion.

It seems incredible that an explosion
could be of such force as to cause an
ordinary steel rail to wrap itself round
the trunk of a large tree; yet there
was just such result from the dis
charge of gelignite at Nanaimo, British
Columbia. Twelve workmen lost their
lives by this explosion.
The rail- was lying on the ground
fully thirty feet from the spot at which
the explosion occurred; yet it was lift
ed into the air, sent in the direction Of
the tree and twisted round the trunk
thereof, just as If it had been a piece
of piano wire. 1t was 80 tightly wrap
ped about the trunk that it cut deeply
into the green wood and caused great
splinters to start out on all sides.
The explosive responsible for this
unique occurrence is one of the most
powerful preparations known, COM

ing to do. Just like Dick Jennings, who
was a red-hot free-trader and used to
write free-trade editorials for the
you remember, and writes all those
protection arguments"
The mayor did not seem to be in
terested in Dick Jennings, or in the
ethics of his profession.
"Of course, you know I'm for you.
Mr.. Clayton, just exactly as I've al
ways been. I'm going to vote for
you"
This did not seem to interest the
mayor, either.
'And, maybe you know thought,
perhaps" he snatched at this bright
new idea that had come to him just in
the nick of time, that I might help
you by my cartoons in the Telegraph;
that is, might keep them from being
as bad as they might"
But that wouldn't be dealing fairly
with your new employers, Neil.' the
mayor said.
Kittrell was making more and more

ness, and he was basely glad when
they reached the corner.
We'll, good-by, my boy" said the
mayor, as they parted. Remember
me to the little woman
Kittrell watched him as he went on
down the avenue, swinging along in
his free way, the broad felt hat he
wore riding above all the other hats
in the throng that filled the sidewalk;
and Kittrell sighed in deep depression.
When he turned in his cartoon,
Benson scanned it moment, cooked
his head this side and that, pulled
his brier pipe, and finally said:
I'm afraid this is hardly up to you.
This figure Of Clayton, here-it hasn't
got the stuff in it. You want to show
him as he is. We want the people to
know what a four-flushing, hypnotical,
demagogical blatherskite he is-with
all his rot about the people and their
damned rights!"
Benson was all unconscious of the

inconsistency of having concern for
people he so desp1sed, and Kittrell
did not observe it, either. He was on
the point of defending Clayton, but he
restrained himself and listened to Ben
sons suggestions. He remained at the
Office for two hours, trying to change
the cartoon to Benson's satisfaction,
with growing hatred of the work and
a disgust with himself that now and
then almost drove him to mad destruc-
ton. He felt like splashing the piece
with India ink, or ripping it with his
knife. But he worked on, and submit
ted it again He had failed, of course;
failed to express in it that hatred of a
class which Benson unconscioVsly dis
guised as hatred of Clayton, a hatred
which Kittrell could not express be-
cause he did not feel it; and he failed
because art deserts her devotees when
they are false to truth.
We'll, it'll have to do" said Ben
son, as he looked it over; but let's
have a little more to the next one.
Damn it! l wish l could draw. I'd
cartoon the crook"
In default of which ability, Benson
set himself to write one of those saw
age editorials in which he poured out
on Clayton that venom Of which he
seemed to have such an inexhaustible
supply.
But on one point Benson was right;
Kittrell was not up to himself. AS
the campaign opened, as the city was
swept with the excitement of it, with
meetings at MONDAY and at night, Of
fice-seekers flying about in automo-
biles, walls covered with pictures OF
candidates, hand-bills scattered in the
streets to swirl in the wild March
winds, and men quarreling over
whether Clayton or Ellsworth should
be mayor, Kittrell had to draw a po-
litical cartoon each day; and as he
struggled with his work. less and less
the old joy came to cheer and spur
him on. To read the ridicule, the
abuse, which the Telegraph heaped
on Clayton, the distortion Of facts con-
corning his candidature, the unfair
reports of his meetings, sickened him,
disgust as he tried to match in carica-
ture these libels of the man he so
loved and nonored Ii was bad enough
to have to f1atter Clayton's opponent,
to picture him as a noble, disinterest-
ed character, ready to sacrifice him
self for the public veal. Into his pic
lures of this man, attired in the long
black coat of conventional respectable
ity, with the SNUG face OF pharisaism,
he could get nothing but cant and n.y.
pocrisy; but in his caricatures OF
Clayton there waS that which panied
him worse-disloyalty, untruth, and
now and then, to the discerning few
who knew the tragedy of KistrelPs
soul, there was pity. And thus his
work declined in value; lacking all sin
cerity, all faith in itself or its purpose;
it became false, uncertain, full of jar
ring notes, and, in short, never once
rang true. AS for Edith, she never
discussed his work now; she spoke OF
the campaign little, and yet he knew
she was deeply concerned, and she
grew hot with resentment at the
| methods of the Telegraph. Her only
consolation was derived from the
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1913-07-24

him.
Dearest" she said presently, in an
other tone, tell me, how is he? Do
you-ever see him? Will he VIM"
mo, l never see him. But he'll win;
I wouldn't worry"
That afternoon, in the car, he heard
no talk but of the election; and down
town, in cigar store where he
stopped for cigarettes, he heard some
men talking mysteriously, in the hol-
low voice Of rumor, OF some sensation,
some scandal. 1t alarmed him, and as
he went into the Office he met Man
ming, the Telegraph's political man.
Tell me, Manning" Kittrell said,
''how does it look?"
Damn bad for u.s."
For us?"
We'll, for our mob of burglars and
second-story workers here-the gang
we represent" He took a cigarette
from the box Kittrell was opening
And will he VIM
"Will he VIM" said Manning, ex-
stream of smoke that came from his
lungs. ''Will he win? In a walk, l
tell you. He's got 'em beat to stand
still right now. That's the dope"
But what about this story Of"
Jaw, that's all a pipe-dream OF
Burns. I'm running it in the morn
ing, but it's nothing; it's shine
They're big fools to print it. But it's
their last card; they're desperate
They won't stop at anything, or at any
crime, except those requiring courage.
Burns is in there with Benson now;
so is Salton, and old man Glenn, and
the rest of the bunco family. They're
framing it up. When l saw old Glenn
go in, with his white side-whiskers,
knew the widow and the orphan were
in danger again, and that he was going
bravely to the front for 'em. Say,
that young Banks is comm, isn't he?
That's peach, that cartoon Of his to-
night"
tsttrell went on down the hall to
the art room to wait until Benson
should be free. But it was not long
until he was sent for, and as he en-
tered the managing editors room he
was instantly sensible of the somber
atmosphere of a grave and solemn
council Of war. Benson introduced him
to Glenn, the banker, to SaltOn, the
party boss, and to Burns, the presi-
dent Of the street car company; and
as Kittrell sat down he looked about
him, and could scarcely repress a
smile as he recalled Manning's esti-
mate of Glenn. The old man sat
there, as solemn and unctuous as ever
he had in his pew at church. Benson,
red of face, was more plainly per-
turbed, but Salton was as reserved, as
immobile, al inscrutable as ever, his
narrow, pointed face, with its yulpine
expression, being perhaps paler than
usual. Benson had on his desk be-
fore him the cartoon Kittrell had fin
ished that day.
'Mr. Kittrell," Benson began, we've
been talking over the political situa-
ton, and / was showing these gentle
men this cartoon. 1t isn't, | fear, in
your best style; it lacks the force, the
argument, we'd like just at this time.

on, ito rest moment, to escape from
all this hateful confusion and strife.
He is killing himself! And they aren't
worth it-those ignorant people
they aren't worth such sacrifices"
He got up from the table and turned
away, and then, realizing quickly. she
flew to his side and put her arms
about his neck and said:

Eyes; that only makes it harder,
only makes it hurt the more"
Post, which, of course, supported
Clayton; and the final drop OF bitter
ness in Kittrelrs cup of woe came one
evening when he realized that she was
following with sympathetic interest
the cartoons in that paper.
For the Post had a new cartoonist,
Banks, boy whom Hardy had picked
up somewhere and was training to
the work Kittrell had laid down. To
Kittreli there was cruel fascination
in the progress Banks was making;
he watched it with a critical, profess
sional eye, at first with amusement,
then with surprise, and now at last, in
the discovery of Edith's interest, with
keen jealousy of which he was
ashamed
Meanwhile Clayton was gaining
ground. It was less than two weeks
before election. The campaign waxed
more and more bitter, and as the
forces opposed to him foresaw defeat,
they became ugly in spirit, and desper-
ate.
One morning at breakfast, as Edith
read the Telegraph, Kitrell saw the
tears well slowly in her brown eyes.

She clenched her little fists. "Oh, il

not in her impotent feminine rage say
