southwest quadrant OF what the
meteorologists call an area OF low
pressure-that is 10 say. storm
area. Previous TO the formation OF a
tornado, winds on both sides OF the
area OF disturbance have usually been
found to be blowing in opposite di-
rections for several days. until the
difference OF the temperatures on op-
posite sides may vary as much as 90
degrees. When these two opposing
forces at widely varying temperatures
meet something very decided happens
atmospherically-namely, a tornado.
The conditions necessary TO the
formation OF this kind of storm are
most beautifully realized In the Hat
areas for 500 miles 10 either side of
the Mississippi from the gulf 10 the
great lakes. where the warm winds
from the South, gathering momentum
over the great prairies. meet Icy
blasts from Canada and over the
great lakes.
The storms OF greatest violence. OF
course, are those on the plains. Tor
nadoes practically never occur In
New England, Nevada. Idaho. Utah
and the other states that are shell
tered by ranges OF mountains. An
occasional small disturbance which
might be termed tornado may per
haps occur. There was one at Wal
lingford. CT. in 1878. but Il was only
a miniature OF the real storms on the
plains which recently wrought such
great destruction and havoc.

WARNS AGAINST MORMONS
"A Whte-Slave Traffic Under Guise of Religion Says
Rev. ]. A. Francis

Boston-Holding aloft the Book
Of Mormon" the Doctrines OF the
Covenant" and the Pearl Of Great
Price" the Rev. James A. Francis
sounded a note of warning at the
Twentieth Century Club
He called Mormonism "a white
slave traffic under the guise OF reli
gion," and denounced II as a great
secret society for political purposes
In answer to his appeal, about l6
hands were held up in token that as
many members OF the club had been

FOR THE BUSY READER
Freshets Throughout State-Many
Roads Washed out and Bridges
Carried Away-Hollls cele-
bration in Manchester.

Manchester, y. H.-Many places
were hard hit in this state by the
3reshet OF last Friday and Saturday,
roads were washed. bridges carried
away, and railroad traffic seriously in
terfered with. The villages OF White
River Junction and West Lebanon
were probably put TO more inconyen-
ience than any other places in the
state. By the giving away of dam
and boon at Sharon a few miles
above White River Junction several
million feet of logs were liberated and
coming down carried away the high
way bridge at White River Juno
ton across the White river which
was the only means OF communica-
ticn between the two villages by
teams. The water main which sup
plies West Lebanon with water was
broken, and the water supply of both
villages shut off, Electric light
wires were also broken and the two
villages were left without either water
Or lights.
The highway bridge, which was OF
wood, came down against the Tassun-
sic railroad bridge where 1t lodges
and was guyed at one end to lessen
the strain. Thousands Of logs also
piled against the bridge and also the
long Northern railroad bridge across
the Connecticut, both structures be-
ing loaded with freight cars TO help
hold them in place. Scores of resi-
dences on low ground were partially
inundated, the occupants being forced
70 vacate until the water subsidized
and causing losses in each individual
case of from 800 10 $500. No
trains were allowed to cross either
of the railroad bridges, and the SER
vice was badly crippled. The cool
weather of Friday caused a rapid fall
in the water, and repairs were made
as rapidly as possible.

Guard VIII Attend Meet.

Jefferson City.-Adjt. Gen. John B.
O'Meara, Brig. Gen. Harvey G. Clark
of Nevada and the colonies COM
handing the five regiments National
Guard of Missouri will depart Sun

teenth annual convention of the Ma

a reserve of the regular army and to
allow commissioned officers and en-
listed men a small amount of pay for
attendance each year of As drills.
This measure will be given the In
dorsement probably of the associa-

measure to obtain its passage.

REALLY OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE
Young Man Painfully D%IsIIIusioned
When He Realized the Age
Of His charmer.

A small theatrical company touring
the provincial towns had as juvenile
leading lady an actress who delighted
the audiences everywhere. She was
so bright and fresh and girlish that
the male portion of the audiences
promptly fell in love with her. One
evening a youthful admirer sought out
the manager of the company, a fine
looking, bearded man, and proceeded
to fish for an introduction to the
charming little lady. He had, he said,
enjoyed her acting SO much. st must
be very pleasant to know her" he sug-
gested. 81 expect you who see her
so often are very fond Of her?f
We'll, yes" admitted the manager.
Yes, I suppose l am rather fond OF
her"
Perhaps you've known her for some
timer" suggested the admirer.
Yes, quite a long time" agreed the
manager.
But it can't be SO very long" pro
tested tho other; she's little more
than a girl" Then q horrid suspicion
occurred to him. "You-you're moi
her husband, are you?" he faltered.
mo, oh, mol" said the manager
I'm her son!"

HYMNS ARE POORLY WRITTEN
Good Poets Have Not Composed Re-
Iigious Songs We Sing, Says
EngIishman.

1t is a melancholy thing to read an
English hymn book. Doubtless for
most of us sacred associations gather
around the hymns we sing, so that we
abandon ourselves to the feelings
called up by these associations, and
do not notice what we are singing,
writes Prof. w. H. D. Rouse in the
English Review. Yet if in a critical
mood we examine them we cannot but
be overcome with melancholy.
They are so well meant and so badly
expressed, so pious and so ridiculous.
They are sentimental when they
should be impassioned, %groveling in
stead of penitent, incoherent when
they ought to be simple.
1t is not true that great poets are
irreligious; on the contrary, their
glory it is to see a soul of goodness
in things evil, and this is the essence
of religion. Yet our hymns are obvi
ously not written by poets. There is
surely no reason why religion and illit
eracy should be unequally yoked to
gether, and it were better to sing nc
hymns at all than to sing trash.

WAY to Woo Sleep.

The following method is described
as one which is almost certain to WOO
slumber with ucces On going to
bed you assume a comfortable atti-
tude in which every muscle is relaxed,
but not the attitude in which you are
accustomed to go to sleep, though
something resembling it. Every move
ment, coughing, yawning, are strictly
~repressed, especially the desire to
turn over. The same attitude is main
tanned without change, constantly re-
sisting the longing to move or turn
over.
AS a rule, by the end Of Is or 20
minutes Of this persistent mainte-
nance Of the same attitude you will
find yourself growing very drowsy
and then, just as the desire to turn
over becomes absolutely uncontroll-
able, you turn with the least posi-
BILE effort, and assume the position
in which you habitually go to sleep
and natural sleep follows at once.
This method, it is claimed, seldom
fails and should be given a thorough
trial, at least before %resorting to q
drug to bring sleep.

They Were Cheap.

An elderly lady from the country
one day decided to adopt two children
from the county orphan asylum.
She walked several miles before
reaching the car line. 1t was the first
time she had been on a cal. She
stared wide eyed at everything she
saw, then her gaze stopped on a sign;
she read thus:
THE Ohio Traction Company-Chil-
dren under twelve years of age three
cents, or two for five cents"
WELL" she said, that's the best
bargain ever. Calling the conductor
she said: Young man, I'll take tive
of those children for five cents right

ERROR EASILY TO BE SEEN
Miner Went at Once to the Root Of
the Trouble, as He Had It
Sized Up.

A miner. who was proud OF his boys
attachments at school, n evening
picked up a home lesson book and
read from It a quotation which ran
like this: Some books should be tast-
ed, some swallowed, and some ohewed
and digested.-Bacon." Turning to
his boy, he said;
What's this, sonnie? Thou doesn't
eat books at school, does tina? know
you are very clever, but you cannot do
those nanny-goat tricks, I'm sure. I'll
warrant thatll be one Of those print
er's errors, sonnie."
100, no, father" said the boy. Met
aphorically speaking, We eat books
Now, you cannot fool me like that
said the father. 81 didn't go to school
worry long, but / ken that's one of those
printers errors Why. sonnie, car
thou not see? He's put the word Ba
con in the wrong place. 1t should be:
Some bacon should be tasted. SOM
