The habit of finishing one task ere

phrase of Goethe 1t is the fate OF the
man who cannot concentrate on one

man who consults a time table at

whose life Is desuItory, whose appoint

regiment refuses to fit itself to hxed

of success, before any other formula

The Siio as a Forage Bank.

There is produced every year in this
country sufficient forage to feed liber-
ally all the live stock of the land, and
leave a good balance besides. The
shortage of supplies each year is due
to the spelling and wasting of forage
already grown, and the means of pre-
serving this forage will solve the
stock problem of the country. The
principal waste is now going on with
the corn plant. 1t is most noticeable
in Inc corn belt states where perhaps
so per cent. of the stalk and leaves OF
this most valuable forage is wasted
annually. AS economic stock produc-
ton is determined by the proper use
of forage, the silo furnishes means
whereby all farm forage can be pre-
served and placed in the best possible
condition for feeding. The silo is too
well known to require a description OF
this method, but its use is certainly
sadly wanting. It can be safely said,
oE any farm where 10 head or more
OF cattle are kept, silo is a proper
equipment, and of great economic
value.

The difference between pleasure and
happiness is, that the former relates
to the body and the latter to the
spirit, and the peculiar situation in
which we find them Is that civilization
makes more provision for the former
than for the latter. There Is plenty to
endow and strengthen the spirit, but
what caters to the body seems to in
elements, entertainments. sports, func-
tons of society, etc, all belong to the
latter class. Happiness has little
show when pleasure gets busy The
latter is crowded with victories 1t
walks all over happiness. Pleasure
gives the virtues the slip and sets
down the spirit as a sort of a slow
poke. Art, books, nature converse
ton, thought, belong to the spirit and
are the instruments OF happiness
Pleasure cares little for them. Ii
would rather Toll and smoke. and
laugh, and rah-rah, and encore. The
distinction is plain and he who ignores
it doesn't know the true path of life,
the path that leads to high manhood
and high womanhood. Pleasure is, of
course, a part of life, but to make it a
greater part than happiness is the
mistake that most of US make, and a
sorry mistake. too.

Dayton, Ohio.-That a fierce fire
which appeared to be sweeping
through the half submerged business
district of Dayton had DESTROYED the
Beckel house, where there were sup
posed to be more than 200 flood refu-
gees, was the consensus of opinion of
scores of watchers atop the National
Cash Register building, nearly two
Investigation of the fire at close
range was an -impossibility. More than
a mile of flood water interviewed be-
tween the point where staunchest
boats dared to venture and the area
of flames.
Traced by aid of maps, it appeared
that the Beckel house was destroyed
some time after 10 O'Clock.
Whether the scores of refugees sup
posed to have been there tried to es-
cape was only matter of conjecture
At midnight residents watching the
course of the flames from across the
stretch OF flood waters believed the
fire got it's new start during the after
noon in the store of the Patterson
Tool and Supply Company, on Third
street, just east of jefferson, whence
it ate its way west, apparently aided
by escaping gas and exploding chem
icaIs in two wholesale drug establish
ments.
Many Lost, Is Fear.
Soon after midnight it appeared the
flames were wavering. While many
persons conversant with the district
and who watched from a distance did
not agree upon the possibility that
the Beckel house had suecumbed to
the fire, all watchers expressed fear
that many of the marooned had per
ished in the flames that appeared to
have worked from east to west. a dis

far the greatest loss of life and prop

There, according to latest reports, 152
were killed. The remaining dead are

result were willing to admit.
Not fewer than zoo lives were lost
within the vicinity of the city proper
and not fewer than fifty persons in
surrounding towns lost their lives.
Nearly 500 were injured and seven of
these have died in hospitals.

Omaha, Neb, Mar. 25.-More than
200 persons were killed and 400 were

of other buildings and caused q none
tary loss of $4,000, 900, according to
reports available from the main path
of the tornado in and near Omaha.
Most of the casualties were in Oma-
ha, which was stricken as never be-
fore. Nearby towns in Nebraska and
across the Missouri river in Iowa also
suffered severely. Wires were snap
ped off in all directions and it took
many hours to gather and circulate
the news of the disaster.
Fire Added to Horrors.
Fires broke out in the debris nf
many wrecked buildings in the Ne
braska metropolis, and these were
menaces for some times as the fire
companies were hindered by fallen
walls and b1ockaded streets. A
heavy rain followed the wind, how
ever. and drenehed the hundreds of
homeless persons, but it also put out
the flames.
As the night wore on reports of adj
ditional injured began to drift in from
outlying suburbs. No disorders were
reported in the stricken zone.
Searchers continue to besiege the
morgues and hospitals throughout the
night Reports from hospitals gave
no additions to the death list and it
was said that most OF the injured
were improving.

Three-fourths of all that goes wrong in
this world is caused by some one not at
tending to his business. An order on a
railroad was not received, by an error of
a careless operator. What was the result?
A frightful collision, causing the loss of
many lives that might have resulted in
famous men and women.
The officers on great ship were so
elated over her success they decided to
make her plow thrsugh ice and show her
flying colors. The fateful ship went down,
with all on board.
The subjects can be illustrated by the
following little incident:
Jones was just putting on his overcoat
when he casually remarked TO Mrs. Jones
that he would be working overtime that
night ''Don't wait for me, DEAR" he
remarked. 81 maybe rather later than
usual. But it cannot be helped" At
breakfast next morning he was stonily
silent, and the stiffness of the room was
not even broken by the tick-tick of the
clock on the mantel-piece.
"Mary, DEAR" remarked Jones, pres
emily, "there is something the matter
with the clock; wound it up last night,
too"
''Oh, no, you didn't" said Mrs. Jones,
icily. "What you did wind up was Ted
dy's music box, and when you came to
bed at 8 o'clock this morning it was
playing Home, Sweet Home"
Poor truthful, scheming mani If he
had just been minding his own business,
he would have wound up the clock and
not that horrid tell-tale music-box.
