opinion the man escaped few mo-
ments before the explosion occurred
Fire Chief Kenlon and officers from
the bureau of combustibles also ex-
pressed the belief that the explosion
was caused by bomb after axamin-
ing fragments of metal found in the
street in front of the Morgan offices
DR.. VIM. F. Doyle, chief of the buerau
of combustibles, pointed out that the
small hole found in the street in front
of the Morgan building, and the wide
ly scattered scars on the facades OF
nearby buildings ALSO indicated that
the blast was caused by bomb rather
than by an explosion Of dynamite OF
other explosives.
Five members of the Morgan firm
were in the building at the time OF
the accident. Thomas w. Lamont
Dwight NJ. Morrow, Eliot c. Bacon
and George Whitney were in a con-
ference on the second floor of the
Broad street side of the Morgan build
ing. They were shaken up by the

capped without injury:

Texas lagoons prepared last night fol-
emergency of storm and flood today
while weather bureau warnings tolc
of a vortex of tropical hurricane
dragging its attendant circles of roar
ing gales slowly toward the mainland
The traffic lanes in the gulf itself
were clearing fast as ship masters
apprised by the wireless of the ad,
vent of high running seas and wind
ran into port shelter.
Swelling tides en- the Louisana-Tex-

and store stocks moved at Corpus
Christi last night, even the big steam
tankers in the oil trade made way for
the hurricanes passage and turned
their course to harbor in the Missis-
sippi delta.
Though the weather bureau fore
cast the point of the storms probable
contact with the continent somewhere
along the coast stretch west of the
Mississippi mouth, any moment for
sometime this afternoon, its signals
were spread east as far as Tampa.
Ships at sea sought shelter there, at
Mobile and the smaller ports of the
Eastern Gulf section, reporting high
seas and rising winds as they did so.
The erratic nature of hurricanes, the
bureau said, made it always possible
that the present disturbance would
swerve from the northward course
charted for it since its entrance to
sea Saturday off Yucatan. Hourly its
progress was checked and noted by
the instrument readings at the bu-
reau's widely separated stations, lest
some atmospheric freak should speed
its northward travel beyond the IL
miles per hour Of its noted rate.
This factor of changeability gov
erned the bureaus forecast when last
night it widneed the scope of its
hurricane warnings 10 include terri

the varying probabilities might throw
the track of the storm center to an
emergence on land nearer the Missis-
sippi's mouth.
But for all the gulf coast east and

Now the Lord Of the Castle was SO
pleased when Puss gave him the golden
apple that was stolen by the silver bird,
as told you in the last story, that he
presented Puss Junior with snow white
horse. And after that Puss rode away,
down the steep path from the castle, I'M
til he came to green meadow.
And as his horse was thirsty he let him
drink in the little stream that flowed by.
and while he stood there, resting the
reins upon the horses neck, little fairy
dressed all in green suddenly appeared
from beneath a buttercup and said to
him:
did you say to the Blue Breasted
Pigeon that Fairy Land was only dream
country?"
Not exactly" replied Puss. 81 asked
her if there was really Fairy Land?"
well, now you shall see it for your
SELF" said the little fairy. Come with
me, and 1 will show you the Fairy Glade
in yonder wood" And then she few up
and sat beside Puss, for she had little
wings of gauze, you know, and could
fly as well as any bird.
Well, by and by, they came to a lovely
spot in the woods. where a band of fair
les were dancing IN ring, In the center
Of which was a throne made all of roses.
And in the midst of the lovely flowers sat
the queen of the fairies, and she was very
beautiful, and when she saw Puss Junior,
she waved her wand and all her little
subjects stopped dancing and stood
around him.
And do you know, when she waved her
wand, Puss and his snow white horse
grew smaller and smaller until they
fo1r
themselves. But Puss didn't feel him
self grow small. No, indeed. He didn't
even know he was SO little, and he
jumped Off his horse and bowed very
low before the lovely fairy queen.
"Ah, my noble Sir Cat" she said, 81
see you wear the golden feather And
then Puss told her how he had gotten it
and then he told her how much lie
wished to see all of Fairy Land.

Things Containing Alcohol. But Not
Supposed to be Drunk, or Treat
cd With CarbOlic Acid.

Local druggists are continually be.
ing asked for larger quantities o.
ginger, parcgoric and other drugs con.
tanning alcohol than the law allows
thcm to sell. There are many persons
who are desirous of drinking lemon
and other extracts, and patent mcdi.
cine of all kinds in order that they
may obtain effects which they have
been accustomed to get by the use of
whiskcy. Of such persons druggists
to be particularly wary. When
a man or woman asks for a large
amount of a drug which contains al
cohol, he is pretty sure to undergo
a cross examination concerning his
intended use of his purchase.
The excuses some give are at times
very shallow, according to the drug
gists; for example, one woman asked
for large quantity of paregoric, say
ing that she wanted to "rub it on:
she had never heard of it being used
in that way, she said, but thought it
would be good because of the fact that
it contained a large per cent of alco-
hol, She did not get what she want
ed.
To prohibit persons drinking things
which abe supposed to be applied ex~
ternally and which contain alcohol,
druggists, acting under government
ders, are making bay rum and SIM

aims alcohol unfit to drink by in
Producing poisonous adulterants in
sufficient quantity to cause extreme
discomfort or violent illness.
formaldehyde and carbolic acid are
used in treating the preparations.
