The wind and storm that covered
the middle west few days ago
travelled east doing considerable
damage. Trains were stalled, rail-
roads blocked, and wires blown
down. In many of the large cities
traffic was stopped, fires broke out
and families were rendered home
less.

LITERARY JAllBIRDS.
Authors Who Wrote Their Master
pieces Behind Prison Bars.

Byron's famous poem, "The Pris-
oner Of Chillon," is supposed to be
written by Downward, the Geneva
patriot, while he was incarcerated
in the chateau of Chillon, on the
shores of the lake. But the poem
was really written at lightning
speed while Byron was imprisoned
by inclement weather for a night
and a day in the neighborhood.
Nevertheless some notable liter
AIRY achievements have been really
written in Jail, undoubtedly the
most outstanding being two Of the
worlds greatest classics, "The Ad-
ventures of Don Quixote" and
"The Pilgrims Progress" If only
those two books had belonged to
the literature of captivity they
would have been sufficient to make
that literature distinguished and i'm
mortal.
Thomas Cooper, the Chartist,
whose life reads like a romance and
whose name is held in reverence
by modern reformers, wrote a re-
markable poem while he was lying
in prison on account of his political
agitation. This poem bears the re-
markable title of "The Purgatory
of Suicides" and when it was pub
lished it created a very considerable
stir in the literary world, for it had
emanated from the brain of a man
who had begun life as a cobbler and
had made himself master of the
Greek language and literature.
Another remarkable poem written
in prison is "The Ballad of Reading
Goal" by Oscar Wilde, whose ex-
traordinary and most somber book,
ode Profundis," was also written
there. These two books are among
the saddest records of the history
Of literature.
1t ought not to be forgotten that
one of the greatest letters ever writ
ten was peuned in dungeon in
Rome. This is the epistle of St.
Paul to the Colossians, a piece Of
literature, quite apart from its sa-
cred character, which is very hard
to beat.
1t is very seldom that news
paper has been edited from the in
side of cell, but even this feat
was accomplished by the late la
mented ". I. Stead, who during
the two months he spent in prison
for an oifense which many people
condoned and which a number ad-
mired wrote scores of articles and
practically conducted his paper
London Tit-Bits.

We may get as many crops Of
corn or wheat as we want, but not
80 with our health crop. The great
Creator has given us only one crop
Of health, and He expects us TO take
care ~ II. " we destroy IL by any
useless and foolish means. we have
defeated Gods expectations, and we
will never get another one.
Doctors are only health members,
rs cobblcrs are shoe members, and
they cannot give us new crop Of
health. They can only mend up
our old one.
Enemy Of Health
Now, there is one thing which is
very destructive 10 our health crop,
and which should be avoided by
every one. This destructive thing
Is tobacco. The best way to avoid
tobacco is never to begin. Never
take the first chew or smoke. The
first leads 10 second, and TO q
third, and before you know il, to-
bacco has captured you as its
slave; and when il once gets you
firmly in its clutches il is a hope
less case, unless you have nerve
and backbone enough TO say, ~ will
quit" and stick to il.
Tobacco User Repulsive
There is one influence Of tobacco
that every one should understand.
II blunts the senses and makes the
user careless Of the rights and feel
lngs Of others. The tobacco user
will spit on sidewalks, floors OF
public buildings. and even on the
floors Of private homes. He will al
low cigarette and cigar fumes to
blow in the faces Of clean. decent
people. He will force whoever hap
pens 10 be near TO inhale the sick
ening fumes OF cigar, pipe, or Gig
arctic. He will take no pains To
remove the bad odor that fingers
about his person and clothing. He
will think only Of the qualification
Of his own selfish appetite, and not
Of his duty toward others. In fact,
tobacco causes its user TO care al
most absolutely nothing for the
rights and feelings Of others, thus
making his presence offensive To
all who are not burdened with the
tobacco habit. Now, young man
starting out to succeed in life can
not afford TO allow such a habit to
capture him and lead him TO de-
siructlon.
Cigarettes A Menace
One great menace to our country
is the fact that everywhere young
lads are taking up the cigarette
habit. In cities and towns we see
boys ten years old, and even young
er. putting away at the dangerous
cigarette. Even when told Of the
Of the habit they
will not take heed. for they see
their fathers and other men smoke
and prosper. and why cant they?
They do not understand the fact
that cigarettes are much more de-
structive 10 young lads than they
are to older people. Go where you
will in this great country of ours,
and the trembling fingers, pale faces,
saueaky voices, and blear eyes OF
young lads, tell the same pathetic
story. This is a most serious blight
upon American boyhood; and II is
sapping the vitality from the youth
of our nation.

PAYS HIGHEST TRIBUTE
Position on Panama Canal Issue Is
Hailed as a World Example
of Straight Dealing.

LONDON. March 6.-Laudatory COM
nents on President Wilson's address to
Congress are published in most of the
new spapers of this country today. The
government organ. the Westminster Ga
zette, pays the highest compliments to
President WILSON for his attitude in re
Gard to the question of Panama canal
tolls. II says:
1t is not always convenient to hail
statesman of another country as Just
ludEc' when he advocates Your cause
against a section of his own countrymen.
We cannot refrain, however, from en-
pressing respectful admiration OF the
courage and marliness with which Tresi-
dent Wilson handles the Panama tolls
question.
The President of the United states
sets, an example of straight dealing
which may be recommended TO diplo-
mats of the old world. Other states
doing the thing he has done but most of
them would fetch about for diplomatic
phrases or make-believe arguments to
save the faces OF their governments or
TO conceal from their own public that
they are proposing q change Of policy.
'-it.is a great example. If the people
of tho United States respond to il, as
We feel confident they Will do they Will
have done much more than adjust the
difference between them and US with re-
gard to the -Pauncefote treaty. They

Another question put up to the corpora
ton counse! deals with whether property
should he advertised for special assess
ment due when the advertisement Is
made and which may or may not be paid
before the tax sale is held.
THE presumption Of the law says Mr..
Syme, is that property owner will pay
mis- tax at the time it is due. I am In
formed. and believe. that many times
owners pay the assessments when the tax
Is due and before any sale of the prop
erty. but the property has been advertised
AS delinquent. I am of the opinion that
no property should be advertised for sale

The Daily News styles the message as
one of the most perfectly phrased docu-

admits that the United States might have

American coastwise shipping, just as
Great Britain has the right to abstain
from participation in the PanamaPa-

would be mistakes.

to the exposition it adds, was shown BY
the memorial passed by parliament We'd
nesday urging reconsideration of the de-
cision not TO participate. which was
signed by men representing the greatest
trading and manufacturing interests of
the country.
The editorial concludes: How is it pos

it is worth while even risking offense to
