Caught After Loru Chase.

DeSmet.-After having the patience
to wait a year the Kingsbury county
authorities secured the evidence
which has Just enabled them to land
an individual named Jack" Killen be-
hind the bars, where he will serve a
term of thirty days for the theft of a
watch from NJ. H. O'Hara, a farmer
of Kingsbury county. The theft was
committed last summer. Immediate
ly following the robbery Killen was
arrested on suspicion, but the watch
could not be found and as the authori-
ties were unable to secure the neces-
sary evidence against him they were
forced to release him from custody.
Killen remained in the country and
he was watched by the officers, with
the result that he was rearrested as
he was striving to pawn the watch
with a DeSmet firm. He evidently be-
lieved the theft had long since been
forgotten.

VISITED BY SECOND TORNADO
Several Farm Buildings Blown Over
No Fatalities Reported.

Canistota.-A tornado, which trav,
eled nearly the same course as the
destructive twister of two weeks ago,
passed near this city Wednesday, de.
molishing a number Of farm buildings,
killing some live stock and injuring
two men. So far as known here, the
twister first touched earth at the John
Addy farm, northeast of Canistota.

On the R. II. Armstrong farm, oc.
cupied by Arthur Burton, the twister
caught up Burton and his hired man
and carried them for a considerable
distance, finally dropping them into 4
pile of debris. Neither man was Sc
riously hurt.
The destruction was wrought by
the conventional funnel-shaped cloud,
apparently extending right down TO
the earth at points where it hit with
full force. The roaring wind which
featured the advance of the storm
was followed by a heavy downpour OF
rain. AS the country around here is
quite level, the approach of the storm
could be plainly seen, both in this
town and out through the country, and
citizens generally showed no hesita.

The engineer Of the Northwestern

twister and stopped the train several
miles in the clear.

Color the Animal to Suit Yourself

Copyright, by Mcclure Newspaper syndi-
cate.)
Long time ago, the deer had no
horns. He was a great runner, and so
was the rabbit. All the animals wanted
to know which could run faster, and
they arranged a race. But the rabbit
was caught trying to cheat, and SO the
beautiful horns which they had made
as a prize for the winner were given to
the honest deer.
The rabbit said to himself, Il must
get even with the deer for taking the
norns," and SO he fixed up a plan.
First the rabbit stretched a big
grapevine-as thick as your arm
across a trail and gnawed it with his
sharp teeth until it was almost cut IN
two. Then he went back on the trail
a little distance and made a running
jump at the vine. He did this again
and again, and finally the deer came
along and asked him why he was doing
it.
Cant you see?" said the rabbit. 81

sharp, that / can bite through that

said the deer, who didn't believe what
the rabbit had told him.
Watch, them" said the rabbit, and
made a great Jump and bit the grape
vine through just where he had
gnawed it before.
IF you can do that l can, too" said
the deer. So the rabbit stretched an
other grapevine as big as the first
across the path. but this time he did

but when he struck the %gravepine 1t
only threw him backward on his head.
He tried It again and again, but could
not bite through.
LET me see your teeth" said the
rabbit at last. So the deer opened his
mouth and showed the rabbit his
teeth. They were long, like a VOLTS
teeth, but not very sharp.
mo wonder you can't do the trick!"
said the rabbit. Your teeth are too
blunt to bite through anything. Let
me sharpen them for you and make
them like mine. Mine cut through
things just like a knife!"
The deer thought that was the right
thing, and so the rabbit got a rough
piece of stone and began to file away
at the deer's teeth. He filed them until
they were down to the gums.
THAT hurts!" said the deer, but the
rabbit told him it always hurt a little
just as the teeth were beginning to
get real sharp. So, the deer kept still.
Now try it again." said the rabbit
at last. And the deer made a run and
jump at the grapevine, but this time
he found that he could o bite into 1t
at all.
Now" said the rabbit, you've paid
for your horns!" and he ran away
through the bushes.
Ever since then the deer's teeth have
been so short and blunt that he cannot
chew anything but grass and leaves.

Some Rowing Hints.

Here are a few hints which you
should remember when you go row
ing:
Do not, when learning to row., al
ways watch your oars; you will never
learn to scull or row IL you do.
Take great care when getting in or
out of a boat not TO upset it.
Don't change seats In midstream,
but always wait until you are close
to the bank.
IL you hire a boat, make sure that
everything Is in good condition.
You should not go rowing without
knowing the rule OF the water"
A row-boat going against stream or
tide keeps to the shore or either bank,
and keeps inside all boats meeting it.
A row-boat going with stream or
tide keeps in the middle. and outside
all boats meeting 1t.
