The water ran out of the bay about 500

shocks that night and two the next
morning, but it's all over now. That

since 1885. so guess it won't come again

needed some work done on my teeth,
and would have had no opportunity to
see the dentist, put my trip off until
this week or next. Besides, there was
a gale blowing outside and as it's only
a small boat, 40 or so feet long, IT
bounces around like a cork. I didn't
care to be sick. Am going over to see
a dentist of the English army. He is
the only other dentist down here and
came thru with the New Zealand
troops when they captured Apia, which
used to belong to Germany.
We had a big time the 4th. Sold

In a recent issue of the Evening Tri-
bune, of MarysviIle, O., the following
story was carried about a brother of
DR.. A. H. Morey, of this city, who is in

Frank L. Morey, of the Naval Dental

Tutuila, Samoa, June S0.-Will tell
you of our recent earthquake. which
you probably read about in the papers.
We had some shock, believe me. The
first came at $50 p. m. We were eat
ing supper on board the ship, which is
tied to the dock. ALI at once the old
ship began to shake and things went
every way. When we went out on
dock, things were surely rolling around
on the beach. We we're safer on
board. so stayed there, but the old dock
was dancing up and down like a Jump
ing jack and lights were swinging
every way. People were running from
their homes, as most every one was a
sufferer. ~
The shock lasted for two minutes
and forty second. That was a long
time when we expected every minute
to see the old island disappear. There
were all sorts of land slides and the
whole top o ia mountain rolled down
into the sea. A large meteor fell just
outside the bay with a roar and hiss of
steam as 1t nit the water.
No one was killed or even hurt. I
didn't mind the earthquake, in fact,
rather enjoyed it as there are no tall
or brick buildings here to fall and in
juTe one, but about ten minutes after
the quake, the bay began to go dry and
our old ship sank and sank until the
lines that tied her to the dock, pulled
her to one side and they had to be cut.
TO water ran out o fthe bay about 800
feet and off the edge of the corral re2s
into the deeper channel. We all made
for the hills then, for it always comes
back with a rush. 1t did this time,
washing out many native houses and
chasing the people from the edge of
the bay back to the hills.
The quake knocked down a couple of
churches built of stone and cement but

to know that in the meetings being
held in tho Casino a little over 500
have como forward to signify their
intention to live Christian life and
the most important days of the series
are yet to come. Bridgeport does not
yet realize that these are the most
largely attended evahgelistic meetings
ever held in the city. The last evan
gelistic effort over rs years ago was
led 10y Fay Mills, who held services in
the South Congregational and Meth

Mr.. Moody then in the height Of his
influence, held two services in the ar

until the coming of DR.. Rees.
This is the last week Of the cam

year when men are thinking of relig-

MARGARET ANGLIN

It was her ambition to become a
professional reader that led Miss Mar
garet Ang1in to become an actress :.
The fair Canadian player was born
forty-one years ago today in Ottawa.
Her father, Hon. Timothy Warren
Anglin, was then speaker Of the
Dominion House Of Commons, and her
mother. who was McTavish, was
visiting In the House Of Parliament
when the stork arrived unexpectedly,
giving to Miss Anglin the distinction
of having been born in the Speakers
chamber. She received her early
education In q convent school, and,
having achieved some success as an
amateur reader, she determined to be-
come a professional. She was then
only seventeen, but, after some opposi-
ton on the part Of her family, she
was permitted to enter a New York
school Of elocution and dramatic art.
Charles Frohman promised theatrical
engagements to the four pupils Of the
school who should best acquit them
selves at the public performance of
the institution, and, much to her sur
prise, Miss Anglin was among those
chosen. She leaped to distinction in
q night as Roxane. the heroine Of
"CyrAno de Bsrcsrac."

ground as soon as the soil is moderate

the plants are allowed to remain long

crispness and delicate flavor, and, in
order to secure a constant supply, sue

ish seed is sufficient to plant 100 feet
Of row. A large percentage of the
seed terminates and, If the sowing is
done carefully, later thinning may be

''THE GOLDEN CIRCLE

Tho German plots to bring about
the disunion Of the United States. and
tho widespread qualifications OF this
conspiracy through the activities OF
spies and agents scattered all over
America, are reminiscent Of the old
organization known as the Knights Of
the Golden Circle This organization,
which had for it's object the overthrow
OF the government Of the United States,
had a large following in the years
prior TO and during the civil war. The
northern states were honeycombed
with these plotters. just fifty-four
years ago today many OF the knights
were arrested In Reading, Pa, but
othsrs conttnued their activities un-
til the close OF the war. They were
in part responsible for the draft riots
In New York and for many other dis
turbances- Shortly after the arrest Of
the Reading plotters the western

TIMELY HINTS FOR
THE HOME GARDENER

Washington. D. c., April 3.-Rad-
ishes and lettuce are favorite plants
in small gardens because, while these
are attractive additions to the table,
they are in a way Injuries on which
many housewives hesitate to spend
money.
Lettuce does not withstand heat
well and thrives best, therefore, in
the early spring or late autumn. In
order to have the leaves crisp and
tender, it is necessary to force the
growth Of the plant The usual
method of growing the plant for home
use is to sow the seeds broadcast in
the bed and to remove the leaves
as rapidly as they become large
enough for use. 1t is better, how
ever, to SOW the seeds in rows IA to
16 inches apart, and when the plants
come up to thin them out to the de-
sired distance. With the heading
type this should be about IL inches
apart. This will result in the fornaa-
ton OF rather compact heads and the
entire plant may then be cut for use.
For an early crop in the North, the
plants should be started in hotbed
or cold frame and transplanted as soon
as hard freezes are over. In many
sections Of the South, the seeds are
sown during the autumn and the plant
allowed to remain in the ground over
winter. Frequent shallow cultiva-
ton should be given the crop and, if
crisp and tender lettuce is desired du-
ring the summer months, some form
Of partial shading may be necessary.
For head lettuce, Big Boston, Han
son and California Cream Butter are
good varieties. The loose-1eaf let
tuce, Grand Rapids or black-seeded
Simpson are recommended.

LONDON WINDOWS DIRTY.

London, April 3.-London is city

true of the windows of the large Of

they have confined their work to the
windows nearest the ground. Most OF
