burst up continually from the gulf,
while On the land pillars OF nre rose
in the air from the acres OF blazing
sugar cane. At the same time people
and cattle ran pellmell toward the
beach in a wild effort to escape. The
steamers in the gulf lowered rowboats
to pick up the hundreds of people who
were drifting helplessly on rafta or
swimming while holding planke ana
pieces Of timber. All were uttering
ptteous cries.
Hundreds stood along the shore. un-
able to find any means of escape. Some
OF them waved towels and clothing
attached to bamboo poles to attract at
tention. Many Of the people were only
half conscious, suffering from burns or
injuries. Detachments Of ambulance

HUNTING COONS AT NIGHT

(From Rural Sports !" by E. w. Spencer)
Buckeye homes had pretty lawns gardens had their flowers
And in the orchards fields and delightful honr
Each brought its many pleasure and delight
But best OF all rural sports hunting night
One ate long after dark dogs and gun
And started hunting lark down Possum Holler Run
And the Clear was fair and BRIGHT
And it just the time of year for hunting night
Before reached the old sawm thedogs began to yelp
And crcing around the hill we hurried their help
High tree and forked limb the lay plain in sight
And times shot him while hunting that night
But like Immortal Washington Braddocks fatal day.
1t seemed that surely born that way
For shot at him straight hunters might
He seemed bulge ALL that that NIGHT
The tree very large to climb the topmos limb
And SO we studied for time way capture him.
At last my chum resolved he'd try to scale the dizzy hight
And rahy said that he would die that npht
He climbed until length reached His Coonshp limb
And then with pole and all his strength he drive at at him
The sticks and flew wide went out Of sight
For he but crows nest dry the that night
