Curious Incident Of an Explosion That
Wrecked Fifty Homes,

NuT'0uO S0CiooHt OF an Explosion ! nat
Wrecked Fifty Homes.
1t happened that In the last month
Of the reign Of Charles l. certain
ship chandler Of London was foolish
enough to busy himself over barrel
Of gunpowder with lighted candle in
his hand. He paid the price of his
folly. A spark fell into the gunpow-
der, and the place was blown up.
The trouble was that the man who
did the mischief was not the only one
to perish. Fifty houses were wrecked,
and the number Of people who were
killed was not known.
In one house among the fifty moth
er had put her baby into its cradle to
sleep before the explosion occurred.

"Billy Williams Last Romp
With the Tiger

II recent issue of the Savan-
nah (Ga.) News, space was given
to BILLY Williams Last Romp
with the Tiger" lecture deliver
ed by the Evangelist in that city
a short while ago. 1t is so full of
truth, so we'll said, so impressive
in every sentence, SO convincing
in every utterance against the
grea; destroyer of men-in other
words it is so strongly put against
whiskey dealers and the drink
habit, that we are anxious for our
subscribers to see it. Surely such
talks as this will bear fruit.
Re-copied out of The Banner of
Gold his lecture is as follows:

ten or fifteen years by the way of
hell to get to heaven.

There are two things man cannot

drown his sorrow.

"The drunkard is diseased man.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 23-One OF
the most ambitions campaigns ever
planned by any fighter was being
mapped out here today by Willie
Richie. lightweight champion OF the
world. Two motives were back OF the
plan. First and foremost was the
money angle. The other was the do
termination of the champion to dis
prove the charges OF cowardice hurled
in his direction when injuries prevent
ed the fulhllment Of two engagements
here with Harlem Tommy Murphy.
A fight a month at $4,000 per
fight from April TO November is the
campaign planned by Richie. He
may accept several ten round engage
ments In New York and Milwaukee,
providing he can get his price--S10,-
900 for thirty minutes work. Most
OF the battles, provided the champion
does not meet with a setback, will be
staged in San Francisco and Los An
geles.
II Richie IL victorious In his battle
here April 3 with Harlem Tommy
Murphy. he intends going right on
down the line. fighting at least once
month. He hopes to clean up $l15,-
900 before the end OF December. Then
he may go to Australia and fight Herb
Mccoy in Sydney on New Years Day.
Snowy" Baker offered Richie ST.
500 and two round trip tickets to
meet Mccoy on Easter Monday, but
the champions engagement with MUIR
ply prevented his acceptance.

Probably every reader Of this paper
has noticed in reading the Veterinary
columns in Farm Journals this advice:
i"Clean up and disinfect" It Is q
phrase that is used perhaps more than
any other in recommending measures
to prevent and exterminate contagious
diseases. This being the case, it is
worth while knowing something about
what to use to accomplish this clean
ing up and disinfecting. OF course
there are great many different dis
infectants on the market. Everyone
Is familiar with carbolic acid, corro-
sive sublimate, formaldehyde, etc.
However, there is very serious OBJ
lection to these materials. for they are
rank, irritant poisons. Many people
refuse to have them around because
there is always more or less danger Of
q disastrous accident A mistake in
picking up the wrong bottle. or an Inn
proper use Of one of these is apt to be
Q very serious matter.
It Is really fortunate that there Is q
disinfectant that will do everything
that those mentioned will and yet IL
practically free from these serious OBJ
jections. Kreso Dip No. is admitted
by psychologists to be . powerful
disinfectant, cleanser and purifier, yet
practically non-poisonous to higher
animal life. Every stock owner ought
to be posted upon this subject Book
lets and circulars can be obtained at

A man alone will accomplish little
All of his thoughts and acts have
direct relationship to others.
Men succeed only as they work to-
gether.
Without companionship ambition
drops; courage flags, reason totters,
ambition vanishes and the man dies
Nature puts quick limit on the
horrors of solitary conference.-the
unhinges the reason of the prisoner,
and he addresses comrades who have
no existence save in his fevered mag
ination.
The man who does useful work Is in
direct communication with other peo'
ple-he works for others, and the
thought that he is doing something for
somebody sustains him.
The "lifer" is always sustained by
the hope of pardon-as long as he
lives he is a part of the whole, and
should it ever come to him that his
case is a hopeless one and he is alone,
his usefulness is gone.
Soldiers who are towards by them
selves often fight bravely when placed
on the firing line with others.
We succeed only as we band our.
selves with others. Each man is a
molecule that is needed to make uD
the all.
Every man who has accomplished
much in the world of art, literature,
architecture, finance, has been aided
by a good woman.
A man alone is only half man.
Men and women inspire each other.
They put each other on their good be.
havior.
A group of men alone are rogues.
Women alone are silly.
There is nothing more divine than
The comradeship of a man and a won.
an mentally mated. They double their
Joys and halve their sorrows by shar.
ing them.
Moving at a like pace, they move
forward hand in hand.
Under these conditions everything
is beautiful to them. Even hardships
take on a new view, and become op.
portunities for heroic endurance.
Only lovers laugh. Others grin and
bear it, and some there be who bear
it but are unable to grin.
Joyous and jaunty labor is beauti.
full, but labor sullen and sour eats
out the heart, slants the brow, and
puts lime in the bones. More than
that, melancholia is contagious. ]

put business to the bad.

When you relax and laugh you elm

and hold you harbor texins.
Yes, men need women and women
need men.
To mate and be loyal to your mate
is divine it is natural.
For that which is natural is divine.
The divine manifests itself through
man.
Promiscuity is perversion and its
end is dissolution, disease, death and
the grave.
That which God has joined together
no man can put asunder.
That which God has not joined man
should not try to rivet together.
