At last the rains came to the valley

hours beside his sluicegate watching

and he remembered that Lieber had
told him that the floods-the great
foods-came from hundreds Of miles
up the river and generally under a

fallen with the rain and he was just

100000 DAMAGE DONE AT
YUMA-oNE MAN Is DYING

Yuma, Colo, May ga revised es-
innate of the damage caused by the
windstorm that swept through Yuma
Saturday afternoon places the figure at
not more than 100000, and many doubt
if it will even be that high. The gale
itself lasted not more than fifteen min
utes and for time after the storm
passed mild panic prevailed in the
town. First reports stated that many
persons were killed and large number
fatally injured, but later these were in
very large measure disproved. Not
more than six persons were really seri-
iously injured and only one of these is
expected to die. The other twelve hurt
suffered only minor bruises, contusions
and lacerations.
Benjamin Meckling, wealthy
farmer who was in the center of the
town when the storm struck Yuma, was
buried under one of the walls of gar
age that was wrecked, and his back
was broken.
He was removed to Denver hospital
in paralyzed condition and his death
is said to be only a matter of time. A
delicate surgical. operation may be at
tempted in an effort to prolong his life.
h. E. Greer, who was at first reported
to have been hurt fatally when he was
caught under falling brick wall, did
not suffer any broken bones and will be
all right in few days. He was badly
bruised up and his body is covered
with black and blue marks.
The work of making repairs began
this morning and within a fortnight no
outward signs of the big gale will be
seen.
The path of the storm was not more
than 100 feet wide, and it is estimated
the wind was blowing fully 100 miles
an hour with many gusty, swirling side
currents that caused most of the dam
age
Windows were wrecked by the suction
of the wind, while awnings were torn
from their moorings and roofs lifted
bodily from buildings, some being car
ried quite a distance. Light frame
buildings were jerked from their foun-
dations and in some cases turned COM
pletely around.

wAsHNa PILLOW FEATHERS

Try this method of renovating your
pillow feathers at home. Make cases
Of cheesecloth; rip open one end of the
pillow and sew the open end of tho
cheesecloth bag to the ripped end of the
pillow and empty the contents Of one
into the other. Now wash the ticking
and roll it up into sort of handle.
Shake the cheesecloth bag with the
feathers up and down in q tub of soap
py water. Rinse thoroughly in clear
water and hang on the line in such a
way that the ticking should not touch
the feathers. Shake the feathers every
half hour and when dry shake back into
the ticking. You will find that after
this process the pillows will be plump
and fluffy.

YOU NEVER CAN TELL

You never can tell, when You send
word .s
Like an arrow shot from bow
By an archer blind-be it cruel "
kind
Just where it may chance to 60.
1t may pierce the breast of your dear
est friend,
Tipped with its poison or balm;
To a strangers heart in life's great
mart
1t may carry its pain or its calm.
You never can tell, when you do an
act,
just what the result will be;
But with every deed you are sowing .
Though its harvest you may not see.
Each kindly act is an acorn dropped
In Gods productive soil;
Though you may not know yet the tree
shall grow
And shelter the brows that toll.
You never can tell what your thoughts
will do,
In bringing you hate or love;
For thoughts are things, and their airy
wings
Are swifter than carrier doves.
They follow the law of the universe
Each thing must create it's kind;
And they speed per the track to bring
you back
Whatever went out of your mind.

"Purple what?" exclaimed Gerry.
Kemp took a cigarette from his

Gerry shook his head. Kemp drew
a well-worn wallet from the capacious
inner pocket of his vest and took out
a ragged clipping. One could read. in,
the glaring moonlight and Gerry
glanced through the printed lines.
Then he read them through again.

As sat munching mangoes,
On the purple city's walls,

To the crawfish in the crawls.
saw the paper sunbeams.
Sprouting from the painted sun;
saw the sun was sullen,
For the day had but begun.
OF dusty desert sky-road.
Ten thousand miles and more
Stretched out before the morning,
And the sun sat in the door.
He sweated seas of sunshine,
AS he started up the sky,
And he drowned the purple city,
In a tear-drop from his eye.
No more shall purple pansies
Look up at purple pinks,
Nor purple roses rival,
The cheeks of purple mink.
Alas! for purple city.
And its purple-peopled halls!
Alas! for me and mangOes,
On the purple city's walls!
Gerry looked upon his guest with
new wonder as he handed back the
clipping. Kemp put it away carefully,
rolled a fresh cigarette, and blew a
thick puff Of smoke out into the moon

with crooked elbow and knee against

New Years Day.

Somehow after all the joy and ex
element Of Christmas New Years day
seems tame and almost uninteresting,
doesn't it? About all a little boy or
girl can do then is to say, Happy New
Year." and there aren't any stockings
and presents and Christmas Sunday
school entertainments, are there?
So you may be surprised to learn
that the custom of celebrating the
birth Of the new year is older and more
universal than that of Christmas. In
deed, all down the ages there are many
peculiar New Years customs.
