Monday night. All day the weather
had been threatening and about twelve
o'clock the storm broke. The wind
blew hard and the lightning was ter
rife. The rain fell in torrents and
the hail riddled everything exposed
TO the south and east. 1t is estimated
that the damage done to the state
buildings on the hill will be over 800.
Hail stones were picked up which ac-
tually measured three inches in diam
eter and after the storm had subsidized
an army of property wners were
kept busy for hours placing boards
over the broken windows to keep out
the rain, Reports have been SEM out

BELONGS TO THE PREHISTORIC
City That at One Time Had Many In
habitants One OF the Show Places
of New Mexico.

A lost city of 10000 homes has been
found in a great canyon barely 40
miles from the city of Santa Fe, n NJ.
II is reputed to be the first known
city of the Cochiti tribes Of Pueblo In
dams of the Southwest. The place Is
called Rito de los Frijoles or Tyu-on-
VI, and Is one of the worlds wonders.
Here, in little caves In the sides
of gigantic cliffs, dwelt the pre-
historic cliff jewellers of America In
communal dwellings, that were al
most immune from attack by either
man or the giant beasts of the stone
age.
The valley Is about II miles long
and about half mile wide, with the
sheer walls of the cliff towering per-
pendicularly for thousands Of feet. For
some distance they are red or brown
ish in color, and then In places they
are dazzling white. Almost the en-
tire surface is honeycombed with thou
sands Of volcanic blowholes. that once
upon a time belched forth sulphur
fumes and steam of the earth's core.
The people used these holes as doors
to their homes. and enlarged the inte-
riors to suit their families. Some
built three-story buildings In front Of
the caves, but little remains Of these
feats of masonry.

STORK'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND
Record Of Birds Appearance in 1916
May Be Found In Chronicles Of
the Country.

The white stork of the continent of
Europe, which is encouraged in most,
and even protected In some, of the
countries to which 1t resorts to breed,
and round which much story and leg
end have gathered, has been known
for centuries to be an occasional WIS.,
itor to the British isles, chiefly to Nor
folk, but very rarely to Scotland,
though 1t has never been known to
nest or even attempt to do SO In Brit
ain.
However, record of its having
nested in Scotland appears in Good
all's edition of the "Schotchchonicon."
This work was begun by John For
dun, who died about 1884, and was
continued by Walter Bower, the abbot
Of Inchcolm. 1t is in Bowers chron-
icles for 1416 that the story appears.
The translation runs thus:
"In the year of our Lord, four
teen hundred and sixteen, there died
on the morrow of the birth Of st. John
the Baptist, Master James Biset prior
Of st. Andrews. In this same year,
a pair of storks came to Scotland and
nestled on top Of the church of st.
Giles Of Edinburgh and dwelt there
throughout a season Of the year; but
to what place they few away thereaf-
ter no one knows"
Commenting on this, Lord Lagle
Clarke says: ''The church of st. Giles,
on which the storks nested, was q new
stone edifice commenced in 1887, to re-
place a former church destroyed In
1885, and some of it doubtless forms
part of the cathedral of today"

Turning the pages of Thackeray's
notebook for THE Virginians," even
If one could not afford to own such
treasure for manuscript collectors,
would be highly interesting to anybody
familiar with the novel. There are
sever6l pages Of notes on the history
and manners Of the period, including
a reminder of Queen Caroline's bad
spelling, description Of King Georges
manners, notes about stage coaches,
Indians, colonial warfare, and various
other points that the author felt 1t
would be well TO remember as his story
developed Here and there he made
a pen-and-ink sketch by the way, rang
ing from a portrait of the duke Of
Cumberland to a sailor In the costume
Of 1851 and two men in wigs and capes
watching a horse race. Some Of the
material in the notebook was evidently
discarded by the author In writing the
novel.

"rrue have not accumulated for

view-as a rule.
'But l will admit that l do have

would not say that, but times when
am depressed, when things go wrong,
when adverse happenings have all but
discouraged me; times when totally
forget what we should in such days
always remember, namely, that there
never yet was a storm but cleared off
some time, to leave everything bright
and sunshiny as before; there are
times, ! say, when even /, usually so
cheerful, am downcast.

Many New Benefactors Are
Needed for Fatherless
Children of France.

The Nebraska organization of the
fatherless children of France com,
mittee hopes to make the month oil
March a phenomenal one in secur-
ing "benefactors" for the appealing
children across the seas, who have
been made orphans by the war. It
costs $36.50 a year, payable in quar-
terly, semi-annual or annual pay
ments, to become such a benefaetor.
The French government adds an
equal sum to the American contri-
button, and, on this meager amount,
the frugal French women manage TO
keep their children at home and
send them to school.
II is astonishing in how many In
stances this task has fallen on the
already bent shoulders of the grand
mothers. Members of the Nebraska
committee through whose hands
countless letters from the French
children have passed, have been
touched by the frequency of the dec
laration, 1--WE lived with grandmam-
