MONDAY CLUB
IS WRECKED BY
GAS EXPLOSION
Members Had Just Left Place
When Blow Up Occurs
CALL FIREMEN TO
EXTINGUISH BLAZE

With a report that could be heard for
several blocks Illuminating gas which
had accumulated in the pantry of the
Monday Club, at No sl7 French street,
exploded yesterday morning. Houses
within radius OF block were shaken
to their foundations and occupants We're
jostled from bed, many thinking one or
more powder mills had exploded
The interior OF the club house was
wrecked, all the windows demolished
and the walls bulged to such an extent
that it was possible to see through the
openings. Fire followed the explosion,
but the prompt arrival Of the Delaware
Fire Company averted a serious blaze.
The gas had escaped from a leak in the
pipe, but what ignited it is a mystery.
The club house was unoccupied at the
time Two Of the members had just
left and were less than a block away
when they heard the crash and hurried
back to find the building in flames.

A Good Enn Eood.

Cowpeas are not only relished by
henr, but it Is excellent egg food for
them. One successful poultryman
gives his experience: The peas, aft
er maturing, were harvested and
stored in dry lofts, and thrown to the
fowls In scratching pens, where they
were scratched over and searched for
during the day. After a few days the
egg supply was visibly increased and
within a few weeks almost doubled
that from an equal number of hens
kept in separate quarters and fed on
other grains. The hens seemed to
like the small branches and leaves.
and would eat every particle except
the hard, stiff stems. The general
health of the flock was excellent, and
not single hen showed the least
symptom of aiIment during the winter
season. Considering the ease with
which cowpeas may be raised. it
seems that everyone should give them
a test as food for the poultry.

PRESCRIPTION
For a Long Life.

This is the prescription for a long
life given by an old gentleman in Con-
necticut, who is ninety.nine years old
and still well and cheerful, Live
temperately, be slow to anger, dcn,s
worry, take plenty of exercise in the
fresh air, and, above all, keep cheer
full"
Should the system get run down
digestive organs weak-the blood thin
and sluggish, take Vinol, which is q,
delicious combination of the medicine
bodybuilding properties of Gods
livers, with the useless grease elimt
mated and tonic iron added. We re-
gard Vinol as one of the greatest
body-builders and strength-creators in
the world for aged people.
Mrs. Mary Tyey, of Columbus, Ca,
says: IF people only knew the good
Vinol does old people, you would be
unable to supply the demand; it is

Is your Bible within easy reach?
All right: then proceed with this an
ecdote from Life: A man who was
staying at home during the past sum-
mer, not having received his weekly
letter from his wife, thought he would
be smart and send her a quotation
from the Bible that would surely
bring letter by next mail Not hav-
ing Bible handy, he depended on his
memory and wrote as follows: my
Dear Wife: Proverbs 25: 24.--John."
He did not get any more letters.
When his wife returned he asked her
why she had not written. She showed
him his quotation. He looked at his
Bible and said: "Oh, Lord! l quoted
the wrong verse; it should have been
Proverbs %; 25."

Beside the Bonnie Brier.

England is, above all other coun-
tries, the land Of the pipe, and more
specifically Of the brier pipe An edi-
tor of the London Daily Chronicle who
smokes one himself lighted up the 9th
er day and went for smoky ramble
through London by tube and omnibus
and pavement-in New York it woulo
have cost him a smaIlfortune in fines.
He discovered that the fads of recent
years have passed. There were no
clays even among the breakers of the
roadways, though Tennyson used to
smoke a clay pipe. There were no
corncobs, though Kipling made the
Missouri meerschaum popular for
time There were no calabashes,
though the Boer war made these as
fashionable as they were dear Even
in the firSt-rate restaurants nobody
smoked a meerschaum at luncheon. In
short, England has come back to it's
old favOrite, the brier, and holds to it
despite the inroads of the cigarette.

poor men. Everybody feels towards
them like the old skipper.
This skipper, after undergoing sew
eral hours of suspicious cross-ques
tioning from two inspectors regarding
his cargo, was at last leaving the
wharf, when a young official, unaware
of his previous grilling, accosted him.
Have you anything to declare

Furious, the old skipper glared al

sides to tell the Judge what instruc-
tons they wanted him to give to the

in his own charge, the attorney for the
defense said: Il respectfully ask your

fundamental principle of law in this
country that it is better for SO guilty
men to escape than one innocent
man to be found guilty" Yes, that is
true said the Judge, and l so in
struct the jury; but ] will add it is
the opinion OF the court that the SO
