Cardinal Gibbons, in an address to

country needs most of all is young
men who place. conscience above ex-

and duty above pleasure, with a
strong determination to create re-

whenever circumstances demand.
I'VE want young men of character,

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
A Curious Freak of an Iowa Cyclone

II knew what cyclones were when l
first proposed the utilization of iron
and steel in structural work" said
Norman B. Ream to me one day when
we were discussing wind-storms, for
l had personal experience with two.
Both of them were in southern Iowa,
and the one which I will now de-
scribe to you. was in the extreme
southwestern part of the State.
Il had occasion to drive across the
prairie to a town in southwestern
Iowa where l could take the train.
l had been busily engaged for some
days at a large cattle ranch across
the Missouri line.
81 was warned as I drove away
that everything indicated the proba-
bility of a cyclone that afternoon.
The atmosphere was oppressively sui
try and absolutely dead. There were
certain cloud formations apparently
overshadowing the valley of the Mis-
souri, River which had an ugly look
But | thought that I could get to the
town which was my destination be-
fore the storm came.
Il said to my friends that / had
never permitted a storm to delay me-
and / did not think l should begin
now to allow myself to be delayed
even though the signs seemed to por-
tend q cyclone.

whipped up my horse, certain that

on the platform reserved for the la

then, with the ceremonial which ]

his arm to Queen Alexandria, and the
Empress entered with King Edward.

Il was only just in time, for al
though the cyclone skirted the build

came of a sudden great noise. 1t
was the roar of the oncoming cy-

boards and various other articles

I was in danger of being injured by
those missiles. Fortunately both my
horse and l were practically unhurt,
although it required some lodging on
my part.
1T was all over in a moment or

to me that the cyclone had passed
over and on, following the road
way as il went. Then / saw a
queer sight. The steeple of the
church seemed to have sunk to the
ground, although it was intact.
when I ventured out to make an
examination I discovered that the
force of the cyclone and the suction
had caused the main part of the
church to collapse completely and
had let the steeple down to the
ground perfectly uninjured. Later I
saw where the cyclone had cut a.
path as clean as an ak could have
done through piece of woods.

Telling of her experiences at the
Court of Berlin, Madame de Heger-
mann-Lindecrone recounts, in Har-
per's Magazine for August, dra-
matte incident which took place at
a luncheon given by the British am
bassad0r for King Edward VII.
"The next day the luncheon in honor
of their English majesties, given by
Sir Edward Goschen, the English am
hassador, was full of emotion. King
Edward wore the uniform belonging
to his German regiment, which, be-
sides being buttoned tightly and APP
parently much padded, has a high
and tight collar. He had received a
deputation of most of the English
colony, and already looked wearled
before he went in to luncheon. rms
was served in the ballroom and was
a long and elaborate affair. The King
sat opposite the queen, and Sir Ed
ward and Lady Goschen sat at either
end of the table. All the princes, the
German nobility, and ministers were
present.
1.-THE King apparently had good
appetite, and talked with his nelgn-
bors right and. left and opposite, and
seemed to enjoy himself. When we re-
entered the drawing-room the King
lit an enormous cigar, and, seating
himself on a low sofa, talked and
smoked, when suddenly he threw his
head back against the sofa, as If
gasping for breath. The Queen, who
was on the other side of the room.
rushed instantly to the King and
quickly unbuttoned his collar and
opened his coat. The two English
physicians who had come with the
King were finishing their lunch in
another room. They were instantly
called in, and they begged the guests
to leave the salon, in order that the
King might have more air. The King
had not tainted, but, on account OF
the tight collar, the heat of the room,
the big cigar, and the violent fit OF
coughing, it was almost impossible for
him to get his breath. The physicians

Cold Summers of 1916 and 1917.
e Hartford Courant.

From the Hartford Courant.
The present season is a cold one in
New England, and what the re-
mainder of the summer may be we
dare not predict. 1t may interest our
readers to learn that such weather
conditions as now exist are not I'M
precedented. One who was of age in
the cold seasons of 1916 and 1917 has
written his recollections of them. The
summer of 1916, he says, twas prob
ably the coolest known here in this
century," In New England, from Con-
necticut to Maine, there were severe
frosts in every month. The crop of
Indian corn was almost entirely cut
off. Not half the usual supply of hay,
oats and potatoes was produced. The
ensuing winter was severe and the
following spring was backward. Our
narrator made a journey into New
Hampshire, passing along the Con-
necticut river, in the month of June,
and the uplands we're almost as bar
rem as in November. He encountered
one man who had been forty miles
for a half bushel of corn, for which
he had paid 81. Railroads and other
facilities of ntercommunication did
not then exist, and, while along the
seaboard supplies Of food could be
obtained, though at very high prices,
it was otherwise in the interior.
Cattle died for want Of fodder, and
many of the inhabitants came near
perishing from starvation
A kind of despair fell upon the
people, and in the grip of calamity
many lost judgment and hope, feel
ing or fearing that New England was
doomed 70 become henceforth part
of the frigid zone. AT the same time
Ohio, with its rich soil and mild
climate, presented an a1luring vision
as of a land of promise, and a STAN
pede took place from cold, desolate
and outworn New England" during
the summer of 1917. Families, with
i their indispensable household goods
went in covered wagons others start

families set out on foot, dragging q

Do Bull Moose Like Sugar?

From the Boston Herald.
Louisiana congressman have reg
ularly been among the stanchest of
high protectionists. They have been
Republicans in everything but the
name, and from that they shy on
account of the tales of the carpet
bag regime. Accordingly. the bust
ness elements of that State have de-
cided to rebuke the Wilson admin
istration by becoming Progressives.
and it is not unlikely that they will
actually elect several third party con-
gressmen in the coming November
polling. If so, it will be the most
significant triumph for the Roose-
welt party since its organization.
Such a victory may inspire his fol-
lowers to believe that they can di-
vide the solid South on economic is
sues, task in which the Republican
party, because of it's sectional tradi-
tons. signally fails.
But the Progressive movement
started in a revolt of Western sem
ators against the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill They were particularly hostile
to the New England leadership in
the committee which drafted IL. Their
first issue was resistance to the Aid
rich program, but with that the
Louisiana senators were acquiscent.
Is the Progressive organization to
forget all this, and as a move of ex-
pediency become the most extreme OF
protection parties? This is something
for Mr.. Roosevelt and his associates
to decide.

Work on the first Mormon temple
on British soil is now well under way
in Cardston, Alberta, the Mormon
centre for Canada. The structure will
be of granite from the Rocky Noun
tains of British Columbia. Machinery
valued at $4,000 has been installed
on the temple ground and cutting
will be done there as fast as the
rough material can be delivered. AS
each stone is cut and dressed it will
be placed in the wall.
The structure will cost at least
$500 900. This money will come mostly
from tithing sent to headquarters ab
Utah, and the contractors have the
assurance of the church that all
money needed will be forthcoming
when asked for. Bishop Nibley, who
has charge of the business affairs of
the Mormon Church throughout the
world, will have direct control of the
work, but will not be on the ground.
A local inspector and superintendent
of construction will direct the local
activities.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Lat
| ter Day Saints has no temples at
present outside of the State of Utah,
where the great Salt Lake Temple
stands. The Salt Lake Temple cost
| 81, 000, 900, and was forty five years in
| building. The other Utah temples

the time they were erected was very

that as good building can be done

temple will compare favorably with

Where Morgan Was Mistaken.

Where Morgan Was Mistaken.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion makes a scathing report on the
financing of the New Haven railroad.
AS the testimony was taken in public
hearings there is little or nothing in
the report that the public is not IA
uiliar with. Former President Mellen
believed that If ]. P. Morgan had
lived the floating loan would have
been funded, and he seems to have
taken the Micawber view that when
an I. o. u. was given for an obliga-
ton 1t was discharged. The funding
of the floating debts would have re-
duced the fixed charges of the COM
bination little, if any, and Mr.. Nor
gan's survival could hardly have
averted the present situation. Billiard
appears to have used the position he
occupied for temporary purposes to
wiring an immoral profit out of the
company, but that was a mere baga-
telle compared with the aggregate
increase Of the obligations of the COM
pany.
The fact is that the company was
foundered by the financiering Of the
most eminent financier in America.
Mr.. Morgan was ready to pay any
thing for any property necessary for
the creation Of monopoly, relying upon
the suppression of competition to
meet all the inflated fixed charges. He
pursued this policy in the case Of the
Steel Corporation, the International
! Mercantile Marine and the New
Haven road, and he succeeded only
once in three times.

An absolute surrender, conservation,
and devotion of self to all that is bet

of character building.
Many an individual has failed be-

not a man first-if there is not a
man behind your book, behind your
sermon, behind your law brief, or
your business transaction--if you are
not larger than the money you make,
the world will expose and despise
your pretense and discount your sue
cess; history will cover up your mem

may leave.
That has been the lesson of many
startling disclosures within the past
few years. The men whose reputa-
lions have melted away so rapidly
the men who have had such a drop

cunning, blufflng, or pretense can take
the place of manhood or be a sub

What is there left worth living for
when a man has lost the finest, the
most sacred thing in him, and whcu
he has forfeited the confidence and
respect of his fellow men? Is there
any quality which inheres In dollars
that can compensate for such loss?
Is there anything which ought to be
