to Ellenda!e by Lyle Andrews in his
big touring car when the storm struck
us amidships at the Morgan place in
Hudson. The storm came 40 quickly
that there was no time for prepars-
tion. The black cloud that hung Just
north Of Glendale was apparently
passing southwark, when without
warning it turned square upon US.
There was barely time to put on the
side curtains, when the storm burst
forth in al its fury. Several inches Of
hail fell, which was accompanied by
high wind that lasted but few min
utes and which must have been the
edge of the small twister, that struck
the Ankeny place. The roads in .
few minutes were rivers Of water, and
being drenched to the skin We turned
about and headed for Oakes. The
journey was continued two hours af-
terwards, going on the Fullerton road.
On the road west there was good
wheeling but soon as we struck into
Kent and Kentner townships the roads
were extremely bad. There was little
rain at Fullerton, Monango or Merri-
court, and At Guelph threshing was
continued.

ut was Saturday, August 22nd. The
day was fair and oil seemed we'll with
US when about one o'clock we saw q
black cloud coming out o, the north
west, 1t came very fast but as it

then to almost white. We saw nothing
that resembled q strong wind in it,

myself going down, down in complete
darkness.
"The next l can remember (which
was rs near rs we can figure out, about
20 minutes) was making very feeble
efforts to move but rs my conscious7
ness returned think my efforts grew
more feeble, for as it dawned upon my
mind what had happened l felt sure
was the only one left and my desire to
live seemed very small. l laid still
again but soon l heard q groan. This
gave me courage and my efforts grew
stronger, but upon this part do not
care to dwell; suffice it to say, soon
got from under some object, found 4
chair bottom near at hand and with
this over my head to protect me from
the hail (which was pouring in sheets)
l managed to get to my companion a
few feet away, whom as soon rs l
talked to him, seemed to recover in q
moments time and was on his feet and
hunting for the rest, finding them one
after another and bringing them to
me, bruised, bleeding and near'y
frozen.
"But our good neighbors soon found
us, brought US to their home and did
all in their power to soothe and COM
fort US, and with the aid of many
other kind friends who were near at
hand we were tenderly put into dry
clothes and warm beds. DR.. Fred

wants and we found (please God)
though badly bruised and wounded we
indeed had very much to be thankful
for.
"Then came Sunday, which God says

lame and wounded don't think ever
experienced more real joy than on this

to give 4 kindly sympathetic word. a

Friends, this may not have seemed
much to you, but words cannos express

who are placed in our position. Oh It

Chase, BIackburne and Daily Are Sox
Stars-Cubs Soft for Reds.

OIdTS-SuDS DOH TOT KEGS.
One swallow doesn't slake thirst,
and neither does one ball game prove
the caliber of diamond crew, but,
Galatians men yesterday in the ini-
tial battle against Cleveland plainly
showed that the stuff is present of
which winning teams are composed.
There is pepper, fight and the nerve
to stick in the face of odds. There
are no qliitters in the lineup. The
men seem willing to work together
without regard for personal averages, s
which has not always been the case
with South Side teams.
The infieId and battery can be
classed among the first rank. The
outfeld is only average, but it may
make up in batting what it lacked in
artistic execution.
One encouraging feature is the
work of Hal Chase around first base.
Many of the wise ones opined that
Hal was through last year and had
been for some time. The shift from
the Yanks to the Sox resulted in re-
awakening him to certain extent,
but he was not the same Chase who
earned the title of Prince Hal
Yesterday he did everything that
could be expected, and a whole lot
that the large majority of first base
men would never have gotten away
with, The manner in which he went
about his work was enough to cause
thrills among Sox fans, who have
been eagerly awaiting a star first
baseman since Jiggs Donahue pass
ed on.
Chase was there with his marvel
Gus ground covering and had his snap
throw perfect. His ankles are strong
again and he moved around with as
surance. He acted like youngster
breaking in, with all the finish of
veteran The combination can't be
beat.

grass At the sound Of the shot the
others came plunging through tho
bushes.
"Keep back-keep back there"
warned Georges s companion. "He may
make a rush. Say, he's big fellow"
But from the bear came no motion.
He lay on his side, gurgling weakly,
trickle Of blood flowing from his
mouth. One of the men raised his gun
"Better give him another"
"No, no; hos done for"
George Clayton stepped nearer.
"Lord, what whopper! I haven't
seen bear" he said reminiscently,
"since our Babe ran away. That was
some smart bear. He'd do all sorts
Of tricks Roll over, and stand up, and
say his prayers"
At the sound of Clayton s voice the
animal stirred uneasily, opened his eyes
and raised his head inquiringly. Then
he slowly scrambled to his feet. Shouts
of warning came from the spectators;
a rifle cracked, but the bullet whizzed
harmlessly above the creatures head.
Weakly, laboriously, with every ef-
fort of his fast waning strength, tho
great beast raised himself on his
launches, his chin dropped and his paws
met over his nose.
"Woof, woof," he grunted gently.
The great, hairy body collapsed in a
thudding heap. A quiver, gasp, then
the mighty limbs stiffened in slow
contortion Old Babe was dead.
George Clayton dropped his gun and
bent over the PROSTATE figure. His
face was working strangely.
"Boys, it was hint was Old Babe,
come back after all these years, and it
was me-" the words Jumped in hn
throat, "it was me that killed him"

"No, madam" responded the Jap
anese THAT is, or rather was, Chinese

feet to grow to their full size"
And then, after bow, he added in
the politest Of tones:
"Not that they could ever hope to
