With only rose-tinted cheeks and ath-
letic grace TO show her outdoor life in
the mountains and garbed in the height
OF fashion, the mountain maid peered
Iaushingly at the Magistrate through a
monocIe suspended from her neck by a
broad ribbon and then smiled at Young
Cannon.
The girl was arrested in Arch Street,
when Special Policemen Creedon. NC
CullOugh, and HeOhane, of the Flfteenth
and Vine Streets Station, were attracted

When arrested she told the police that
she had met Cannon three weeks ago
in Washington. and that they had been
living here in order that Cannon, whose
parents are wealthy, might show theul
that he could earn his own living instead
Of being sent to college. as they planned

Gasoline. Tank vs.. Small Boy.

The following incident which hap
pened at St. Peter, is good pre-4th
of July reading, and for that reason
is given here in full as reported by
the St. Peter Herald of last week.
There is much danger for the young
sters in their effort to outdo one an
other in noise production and par
ents have a task before them in the
next three days.
Hurled a distance of nearly sew
enty feet by bursting oil tank,
Russell Balmes, 8-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph Balmes, was
seriously hurt last Saturday evening.
He sustained bad burns and bruises,
and it is miracle that he was not
killed.
A premature Fourth of July cele-
bration, which the youngster was
conducting, was responsible for the
accident. He had been shooting fire
crackers in the alley back of his
home, and it is supposed that he de-
cided to experiment with an oil tank
owned by M. Smith, local agent for
the Standard Oil Company. Mr..
Smith and Mr.. Balmes occupy ad-
joining homes and the tank wagon
stood near the alley between two
barns. 1t is an old tank, and is used
by Mr.. Smith only in muddy weather.
The last time he made use of it was
to haul a load of gasoline oil to
Cleveland some six or eight weeks
ago. 1t had been drained and was
supposed to be empty, but it is
thought that just enough fluid re-
manned in the tank to generate a
powerful gas.
No one witnessed the accident, but
the general supposition is that young
Balmes climbed to the top of the
tank, unscrewed the cap, lighted
fire cracker, and dropped it in. A
terrific explosion followed, and the

tent, and one end of the broken
ridge pole was driven through the
mattress on which Mr.. Swenson lay.
Oddly enough he was not awakened
by the crash, and knew nothing of
his miraculous escape from death I'M
til several hours later.
Between St. Peter and kasota
telephone and electric light poles are
down, and the line Of broken tele-
phone poles extends to a point about
half-mile south of the elevator.
Some Of them seem to have been
pulled from the ground, others are
snapped off like matches, and one,
after being broken, was driven back
into the. ground in an upright posi-
ton. The telephone service at Ka-
sofa is badly crippled, and the ST..
Peter system was damaged, although
to lesser degree.

Wednesday July 2, 1913

The, Brooklyn Eagle portrays the
celebration of the 4th in vivid car
stoon which should be copied over the
land. At the door of the American
Home, rapping with skeleton fingers
gon the panel, stands a hooded and
sshrouded figure labeled "The Murder
Ous Fourth" In one arm is a bundle
of rockets and cannon crackers. Over
the door is draped flag which says,
NSane celebration" and above the door
the legend "No Admittance." After
the 4th papers will be full of the list
of celebration casualties. We hope
by publishing today a list of last
years results to arouse caution which
may be the means of averting trou-
bic this year.
The campaign of the National Fire
Protection Association for a rational
celebration of Independence Day be-
ban in May, 1910, when the members
responded promptly and enthusiast
cally to the appeal for a combined
attack upon the annual orgy of fire
and noise. The effect of the work
Of large and powerful national Or
ganization working as unit through
out the nation is registered in the
gratifying statistics shown. Last
year was Americas sanest Fourth,

Storm Works Havoc at St. Peter

A tornado that carried destruction
and devastation in it's wake swept
over portions of st. Peter and Ka-
sofa about 1890 o'clock Thursday
morning. It's force was greatest at
Kasota, where it demolished the ele-
vator of the Kasota Elevator COM
pany, entailing a loss of fully S14O-
OOO.. Three barns were razed, many
small buildings were destroyed and
hundreds of trees were uprooted or
blown down.
Such was the cyclonic fury of the
wind that the huge building of the
Kasota Elevator company, a struc-
ture that was 168 feet long, Al feet
wide and 10 feet high, was lifted
from it's foundations and shifted a
distance of fifteen feet. The cupola
and some forty feet of the super
structure were torn away, and the
main line of the Omaha road, which
passes the building, was buried be-
meath twenty feet of debris.
Louis St. Peter, watchman at the
elevator, gives vivid description of
the storm. incidentally, he had a
very narrow escape from death, hav-
ing visited fhe top floor of the ele-
vator not more than five minutes

Fire losses on the Fourth last year
as compiled by the Chicago Tribune
were $576,525, which compares with
the daily average, for the first five
months of the year, of $77S,3S2
Thus is demonstrated that the Fourth
under the changed conditions, with
every one alert in the cause Of fire
prevention, can be made safer day
than any other in the year, as re-
CARDS fire. It also proves that fire
prevention really will prevent, and
will reduce the fire losses, when it
becomes a general and active work
throughout the country instead Of a
mere propaganda.
1t is, perhaps, too much to expect
a complete return to sanity; but
some effort at least may be made
by all cities and towns toward lead
ing their. people into more moderate
and more intelligent forms of cele-
bration. If explosives must be used
the authorities can limit their use
to the public parks during certain
hours of the day, where the folly
hunters may kill and MAIN them
selves and each other to hearts con-
tent, without injuring other people,
or destroying property by fire. The
firing off of explosives among the
closely built shingle-roofed frame
houses, which compose the greater
part of our cities, is wholly in accord
with the reckless spirit of Ameri-
cans regarding fire.
If before every Fourth of July all
cities and towns were given
thorough cleaning of. rubbish, and
all use of explosives then restricted
as to time and place, the police and
public wardens might have at least
a fighting chance to minimize the
disastrous results of our public folly
during the years it may require to
inspire in our people desire for a
kind of celebration. And
such a desire must be inspired. 1t
is the duty of every city to arrange
for its people suitable amusements
or exercises calculated to educate
them in rational observance of this
historic holiday. Habits of folly can
be most easily eliminated by sub
stitution of something better. The
things a city can do to interest its
citizens in a sane and wholesome
celebration are unlimited, and the
which in the past two
years have taken steps in this direc-
ton are already receiving national
praise for their wisdom and their
high sense of civic responsibility.

trees were felled in practically every
yard. DR.. K. A. Kilander had a doz-

home tree broke hole in the roof.
One tree was blown down in German
Park, .and in its fall carried the
electric wires to the ground.
After totally destroying the Kaso-
ia elevator, the tornado swept on
into the village and carried destruc-
ton with it. C. C. Johnson, living
in the east part of town near the
Milwaukee depot, noticed the gath
ing storm. Going to his stable he
led out all the stock, and events
proved that his precaution was wise
ly taken. He had scarcely complet-
ed his task when the cyclone struck
his barn, large structure, and re-
duced it to a pile of twisted timbers.
A small dwelling house near the
Milwaukee track, owned by c. w.
Babcock and used as an office for
the quarry foreman, was damaged
somewhat, and outbuildings all over
town were blown down. AS in St.
Peter, hundreds of shade trees were
destroyed.

Start Of Many Breeds
Contributed to Fine
Show Room Displays
The Number of Birds in Certain
Variety Attracts Attention
of Beginner.
By JUDGE r. J. MARSHALL.

Each breed has its friends and sup
porters. The more Of these support
ers or boosters that get behind a Ger
tain breed or variety, the more popu-
lar il becomes, and that is the princi-
pal reason why some breeds become
so wonderfully popular, while others
apparently just as meritorious are
scarcely heard about Clubs are form
ed for the sole purpose Of boosting.
aa they call il. their favorite variety.
New buyers are largely influenced BY
the so-cailed popularity of a certain
variety and the kind Of display it
makes at the various fairs and shows.
First impressions are most often made
at fairs where the beginner Is often
found and becomes interested. He
looks about, is impressed by the
breeds most strongly represented and
shown In the best and most attractive
manner. II he finds a breed repre-
sented with but two or three pairs he
gives but little attention and passes
on. But just let him find a large ex-
hiOit shown by one, two or three eX-
htbitors in very attractive shape and
in fine, healthy condition and the
chances are ten to one that our friend
viii get stuck on them, as the saying
goes. and he concludes that they must
be about the best chicken to be found.
Let there be a lot of half starved,
siCkly looking scaly legged chickens
upon the other side and see how
quickly our visitor will turn up his
nose and give them the go-by. APP
pearanCeS go a long way toward max
ing lasting impressions in the pOul-
try business, as the young fellow told
his father when he was out looking

POULTRY, PET and LIVE STOCK

for a wife So my advice to you OF
any who are in the poultry business
and want 10 get recruits or customers
and want them upon your special va
rieties. is to get up all the interest pos
sIble among breeders of that variety
and get them To make fine displays
and the more Of them the better the
competition, which is all the better
for trade. I have shown 80 birds Of
one kind, where one-half that number
would have filed that class. but
wanted the visitor to get the impress
sion that there was something doing
down my aisle, and you can bet
there was I made my display pay
me well In dollars and cents. The
superintendent at one particular fair
where I exhibited regularly said he
wanted me to put my exhibit facing
the. main entrance. Why2 Simply
because I brought a large exhibit Of
one variety, all in first class shape,
clean and the picture of health. As IA
result l made many sales, got many 4
beginner to think that the Barred
Plymouth Rocks were the only fowl
worth having, and l started many on
the road to success. l mention these
simple facts to show the reader that a
little extra effort in the way of ap-
pearanCeS or snow Will pay every
time. It will pay the poultry breeders
just as well as it will pay the dry
goods merchant to make his fine show
window displays. 1t is not the num-
Der Of breeds we keep that counts for
success, but the care and attention
we give to each. I have known breed
ers to make a speciality of some one
of what we call very unpopular varie-
ties. and with careful breeding and
equally careful exhibiting and adver-
Using make a real success. They
went into it to win and they were not
disappointed. So after all ii is not so
much what variety one selects, so
long as 1t is a good, practical breed,
and we make up our minds and i'm
press upon the public that It is as
good If not the best. variety on the
list We keep up our end of the bust
ness in producing good stock and lose
no opportunity to impress upon the
public what we think about 1t. I as
sure you they will do the rest. You
must net rest upon your oats, but
keep eternally pushing forward.
