Newcastle Boys Tell
Exciting Stories

II you like to hear exciting
stories all you have to do is to go
up to New Castle and walk along
the streets. Since the schools are
dismissed for an early spring yaca-
ton boys and girls are everywhere
on the streets and all of them are
telling each other and anyone else
who will listen how they escaped
the cyclone.
Harold Poe said that he had been
skating and playing polo with the
other boys that afternoon, but that
they had decided to play marbles
so had just taken off their skates
and started the game when they
heard the queer noise and saw the
awful cloud coming; then shingles
and boards began flying through
the air and somebody shouted,
Run for the cellar" So he ran
but had only gone half way down
the cellar steps with his other folks
when the storm swooped upon
them, their house crashed in, and
after the short downpour of rain
was over they crawled out to find
what was left, and everything was
gone. The first thing Harold look
ed for was his skates because he.
said he had bought them with his
own money few days before and
they cost two dollars and forty
cents. One OF them he found half
way down the square, but the other
one probably is somewhere between
Newcastle and Hagerstown. Now
poor Harold doesn't have any home,
any clothes or even so much as
button hook of his own, but none of
his folks were killed and he has a
friend named Virgil Shee who took
him in, and so they proceeded to
enjoy life and vacation Tuesday
afternoon by investing ten cents in
hot chocolate.

SCHOOL STUDIES
FAMOUS PICTURES

st. Mary's school has taken UP
the study of famous pictures and
Dorothy Conner of Grade 5, tell us
the good points of Christ and the
Doctors"
This picture is representation
Of Christ's visit to the Temple, at
the age of 12 years. The Temple
can be distinguished by few pill
lars, and a half drawn curtain. The
boy Christ is in the center of the
learned doctors. They have their
eyes fixed on the boy. Christ has
one hand resting on the reading
desk and the other pointing to the
book about which they are talking.
He has a face of singular beauty,
intelligence and charm. He is
dressed in a simple white robe and
the light shining on Him gives
prominence to his position. He is
answering their questions, and ask
ing them other questions about the
Messias. The group looks very
natural and have gathered together
to talk about the Messias. They
are looking in wonder and astonish-
ment on the boys face for they
know not he is Jesus the Savior.
The picture was painted by
Henry Hoffman, in 1871 and is in
the Royal Gallery, Dresden, Ger
many. 1t ranks as a masterpiece
of German art.-Dorothy Conner,
Age 10, Grade 5, st. Mary's School.

THE TELEPHONE.

The word telephone" comes
from the Latin word ''tele" mean.
ing afar, and phone" meaning
voice sound.
In 1897 Page, of Salem, Mass,
noticed that bar of iron suddenly
magnetized and then de-magnetized
would give forth certain sounds.
This is now called Pages effect"
Bourseul of France discovered
the fundamental idea but did not
use it. He proposed a device by
which a vibrating disk under the
influence of the voice would make
the same vibrations in another disk
at the end of a conducting wire.
In 1860 Refs Of Frankfort, invent
ed an instrument which he called
a telephone. He is entitled to the
credit of having the principle, but
the honor Of development and of
the making actual use of the tele-
phone must be given to Alexander
Graham Bell who March Z, 1876,
received patents for the telephone.

MEANING OF OUR
NMATiONL SYMBOL

The American Eagle stands for
our country. In the first place it is
the most powerful bird in the
world. It's white head stands for
purity, and also peace. | really love
it. These birds are scarce now.
Most of these birds have been
driven away They are very pretty
to my notion. They are pretty be-
cause we have pretty country
And may it stand for the brave,
powerful truth and purity to the
end. Also may it stand for a free
country. And may we still keep
our same red, white and blue

STAYED AT HOME

Little Dorothy Lawrence Is hav-
ing to sit propped up in big rock
ing chair, so wrapped up with tight
bandages that she can't even wear
her own clothes and had to put on
one Of her fathers big roomy shirts
instead. She says it hurts awfully
badly to have broken collar bone,
and now she wishes she had stayed
at home during the tornado. When
they heard the cyclone COMING
they were afraid to so down in
their cellar because it is so large
that the whole house could Lave
easily crushed them, so they ran
outside but before they could reach
safety, Dorothy was hurled info>the
gutter and her collar bone broken,
while their house remand standing
after all.
But she is very thankful that she
escaped the two large pieces Of
sheet iron from the roller mill, ona
of which dropped in her front yard
while the other was caught up in
the branches of tree, close by.

Dog Saves Boys Life

kink was my pet dog. One day
crawled out on the car track and
the street car was coming. Kink
saw the car coming. She grabbed
me by the waist and dragged me off
the track. Another day ] crawled
out and swallowed a piece of glass.
Kink heard me screaming and ran
to the house. She pulled grandma
out in the yard. Grandma beat me
on the back and it came out of my
throat. After that We gave her to
man that lived in the country.
Kink would play catcher in ball
game. Finally she lost all her
teeth. So they had to kill her.

NEWCASTLE BOY
DESCRIBES STORM

At about 8 o'clock Sunday after
neon some young men were stand
ing in the door of drug store, dis
! cussing dark gray cloud which
shifting about on the western hori-
ZOn.
What a peculiar cloud that is in
g the west" said one young man.
And notice the white smoke that
hangs about it, said the other.
Suddenly a darkness gathered over
the whole town and in the distance
a was heard low rumble.
Boys, from the descriptions
have heard, that is cyclone" said
the young man.
I Just then an old man came
along and said, mo, that isn't a
cyclone; they don't have them
around here and that roar you hear
/, is train on the Big Four Rail
\ read E.-
4, But the roar grew louder and
louder and the funnel shaped cloud
grew blacker and was bearing down
upon the city with terrific speed.
By this time the other people or
the street were getting very uneasy
The cyclone had now struck the
outskirts Of the city and was hurl
ing trees, timbers and houses high
in the air. People were panic
stricken and were running here anG
there i'll the streets not knowing
which way 10 go.
Ia five minutes all was over, one
hundred people had been killed o.
injured; three hundred homes de
stroyed, and over q million dollars
lost.-Hargy Kamp, Newcastle

Children of Newcastle
Need Immediate Help

Junior Folks, il you could see
how so many of the Newcastle
children have lost everything they
had, and could realize how things
really are over there. l know you
would be glad to help in any way
you can. AS you go down street af-
ter street, one place you find a
little shoe in the mud, in another
place a drabbled stocking caught
under a broken window frame, a.
few crayons scattered under splint-
cred rafters a little red chair
crushed under a fallen chimney or
perhaps the body Of doll, half
showing beneath mass of rubbish,
where one little arm bangles help
lessly over a jagged brick.
Some of the children have rela-
tives who can give them clothes
and plenty to eat, but many OF the
children's fathers and mothers do
not have anything. And so, Jun
ior Folks, if you have any money
at all that you could give to the Red
Cross people, or drop into the ket-
ties on Main street, you can know
that in giving it you are giving
some little boy or girl new clothes
or something to eat, and l suspect
you will be mighty glad ever az
ter.

Hunt For School Books

Monday morning many of the chill
dren came back to South School to
search among the ruins for their
school books. In the principals
room there was such a huge pile of
bricks all over everything that they
couldn't even find the desks, but
in fhe lower grade rooms the debris
was not SO bad. In Miss Carson's
room when one of the boys found
three or four bricks on his desk
and five or six more on his seat, he
picked up one of them and said.
Well, ! guess if 1 had been here
when this thing came down l
wouldn't he here now" And the
sad part is that out of that very
rocm there are some children who
Won't Gene hack any more.

THE FIRST MESSAGE

The first message sent in Ger
many by electricity was sent by
SOmmering who invented a way of
pressing a button at one place and
at another place which was con-

Now he let a tube full of water
represent the letter "A" another
"B" etc. and he could very easily

 The Sergeant testified that Dr. Mathews, the prominent presbyter- ian minister, who has obtained con siderable notoriety owing to his ec- centric efforts at reforming the city, provided money for the detective to conduct a gambling joint and blind pig.
 The man testified that while con ducting this establishment he had paid Powers protection money on two occasions, the last time with the marked currency.
 This sensational testimony coming so soon after Dr. Mathews connec- ton with Billingsley was estab- lished in the Gill trial is exciting some wonder.

Commercial Club, May 29, 1917:
 Whereas, the United States Postal Regulations provide that the eighth zone rate shall apply on parcel post between any two points in Alaska and from any point in the United States to any point in Alaska, and
 Whereas, such regulations place the Alaska merchant on an unfair basis of competition with the larger merchant of the states in the deve- lopment of their trade territory, tending to retard the development of Alaska communities;
 Therefore, It is hereby resolved by the Alaska Bureau, Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Com mercial Club, that the Postmaster General be respectfully requested to give favorable consideration to a graduated zone rate for parcel post between points in the territory of Alaska, based on the same mileage rates as now apply between points within the United States.
