MISSOURI STORM STORIES.
Houmi Carried Over a Fence and Hall
Drifts Four Feet Deep.
The houso of Janioa rtryant near
Barrlsonville, waa picked up a few
days ago by a tornado carried over
ft barbed wiro fence and set down In
a pasture about "3 yards distant. Mr.
Bryant and his family were In the
souse, and none, of thorn wore hurt.
That tornado was followed by a ter
rtflo hailstorm. A man who was driv
ing along the road saw It coming and
got out of his buggy and crawled un
der a hedgo fence, where ho wrapped
bin arms around a post. The wind did
not get him, but the hall which came
after it boat him Insensible.
He was found some time later and
carried to a nearby house, where It
was found that the hailstones had
made him a mass of bruises from
head to foot.
In some places the hall was found
banked up to the depth of four feet
along the roadside. Cass Count

Tattooing In London.
In London and many of the conti
nental cities tattooing Is at present
ery popular and In the city named
two or threo men who have acquired
considerable skill in this novel art are
rapidly making a fortune. One of thorn
claims to have already tattooed 15.
000 persons, of whom 1.500 were
women. On two of these women he
has done his best work, reproducing
on one with his needle the famous
"Descent from the Cross" and on the
other tho"Ecce Homo." He has also
drawn numerous portraits of men and
women and has Inscribed many mot
toes In the Abyssinian, Chinese and
Arabic tongues. Moreover he has tat
tooed marriage rings on the fingers
at many women, who desire In this way
to give a proof of their eternul fidelity
to their husbands. Automobiles being
now In fashion, several persons who
are fond of this new sport have had
their carriages tattooed on their rrms
and It Is even said that in some canes
die name and. address have heeu
added, with the object, of providing
adequate marks of idntiflcatlon in cas-j
ot accident.
ABOUT KINGS AND QUEENS.
Members of the court of King Char
les II., of England, were innocent In
some of their amusements, if not In
others. Among their favorite games
were "blind man's bufT'and "hunt the
slipper." Pepeys 'mentions that one
day he found the duke and duchess of
Tork and all the great ladles seated
upon the carpeted floor playing "I love
my love with an A because he Is so-and-so,
and I hate him with an A bo
cause he is this and that."
Queen Annie of England and her
husband George, Prince of Denmark,
had great similarity of taste. The two
subjects that interested them most
were horses and dinner. A Jacoblto al
lusion to these pardonable weaknesses
runs thus:
There's Mary the daughter, there's
Willy the cheater,
There's Geordle the drinker, there's
Annie the eater."
That King George II. of England was
not popular with his subjects Is evi
dent from the following epigram,
which was published in London on the
death of Queen Caroline:
"O cruel death! Why hast thou been
unkind
To take our queen and leave our king
behind?"
Five Hundred Children Apiece.
One of the Federal Judges has es
.mated that, if the stories told in the
- eourts by tho Chinese, about being
horn in the United States wero all
true, every Chinese woman who was
avlng in the United States twenty
ive years ago must have had at least
Sre hundred children. One of the
wretched features of this situation to
that, since wives of bona fide Chinese
natives of the United States have be en
leclared entitled to admission, o:ic!i
ne of these fraudulently adm'ttrvl
Chincmen may bring over a slave irl

mands a market price of from two
thousand to three thousand dollars.

Bathers' Safety Appliance.

trade In life preservers and kindred
devices by the General Sloeum dlsas-
ter. In some lines of goods business
has acquired such stlmuhms that ad
vanced prices are being asked. A
- aovelty is a "safety swimming sleeve.'
The swimmer inflates the sleeves by
blowing into a rubber tubing which
..connects them, the escape of air is cut
off by a screw such as is used on a
bicycle. The Inflated sleeves go under
or over the sleeves of a bathing suit,
-just as the bather prefers. The rubber
.tubing which connects the sleeves
bang about the neck. The ma-niifnc-
iturer of the contrivance calls it "Ufa
insurance against surf or still wafctr-"
A Scotch Oddity.
The natives of the northoast coast
,of Scotland observe a curict;a cimUm)
at funerals. After the burial servic
.the coffin is carried outside the hous
i and planed upon the two chairs on
-which it rested within doors. Aa soon
as the pallbearers lift up their burden
.and begin their Journey to tho grave
yard these chairs are at once thrown
isharply on their backs. In this posi
tion they are kept until tho Interment
' ihas taken place, when they are taken
Indoors again. Any attempt to place
the chairs on their legs, or to take
them lo before the proper time, Is at
Ance frustrated by the relatives of the
dead.

Tattoo Man and Yankee Whistler
Wont to the Rescue.
One of the side tents of a show on
the common, in Athol, was the scene
of an exciting encounter between
George, the rocUey mountain bear, and
the monster boa constrictor, Admiral.
Miss May Cole, the snake charmer,
was feeding her pots, when the bear
attempted to Interfere, whereupon the
snako resented it by winding itself
about the bear. The hissing of the
snriKe and the growls of the bear
startled tho oceupents of the tents
Miss Cole, In attempting to sepnrate
the combatants, was bitten on the arm
by tho snake. Her arm was dressed
by a physician and It Is thought no
Bcrious results will 'follow.
Slg. Royal, the keeper of the hear,
Capt. Kuhn, the tattoo man, and Walk
er Derby, the Yankee whistler, all took
a hand in separating the bear and
snake and rescuing Miss Cole.

Etiquette of Cuban Smoker.
In many countries, especially in
Spain and Cuba, where the etiquette
of the smoker Is most Jealously
j guarded, a man who is smoking must
i be sure, when asked by another man
for a light,, to present his cigar or
cigarette for the purpose. To offer a
match is to imply the social inferiority
of the man who asks for the light, so
that between two strangers such an
offer 1b a deadly insult, and sometimes
sufflecint to cause a duel. When, how
ever, the. difference in social grade Is
so marked as to bo visible In clothing
and accoutrements the match may be
offered without offense. When the
lighted cigar is offered it must, not be
thrown away until the man who has
offered it nas taken at least one "uff.
Otherwise the insult Is greater than
would have been the offering of the
match. Philadelphia Record.

No National Holiday.
A national holiday Is a holiday of
which the observance is by law en
Joined upon the nation. There are
no holidays in the United States, for
the reason that the fixing of legal holi
days Is not a federal matter, but one
thai comes under the Jurisdiction ot
the various states. Thus the procla
mation of the President designating a
day of thanksgiving only makes it a
legal holiday for the District of Colum
bia and the territories, and in tboss

"We don't have many orders

re-
nuirked a Georgetown cobbler ,and It's
Just aa well, because there is no

ask $3 for them.
"No, there arn't any people who
care to pay that price for shoes when
they can buy the machine made ones
for $5. Such customers as 1 do
have are people who have feet that
are hard to fit and who are willing to
wear the same style right along, re
gardless of what others wear, so ani
as they are comfortable.
"I'll tell you, though, shoes are much
more expensive in this country than
they are in the old. Why, on the other
side of the water you can easily have
a pair of shoes made for f 3 or 14. But
not here no, sir! I have one cus
tomer, however, for whom I have made
shoes for over ten years. He Is will

Fight with a Snake on a Scaffold.
Fred Morehead had an encounter
with a big blacksnake which he will
remember for some time. Mr. More
head had taken the contract to paint
the iron bridge which spans the Hock
ing River just south of Haydenville
and was engaged at his work when
he encountered the reptile.
He was painting the under side of
tho structure from a swinging scaffold,
and pushing his brush filled with paint
into a crevice where the under beams
rest on the abutments he received an
introduction to the ophidian which
was not to his liking. When his
snakeship was disturbed he quickly
darted his wide open mouth and
darting tongue toward the intruder.
Having no weapon but a large putty
knife, the painter gave battle, and In a
short time the reptile's head was
severed from Its body. The snake
measured five feet in length. Logan,

Bells to Prevent Storms.
An Instance of the absurdity of
some of the notions held by our an
cesters waa the notion that the ring
ing of church bells had a counteract
ing effect In a thunderstorm. It was
snpoose that the vibration of the
air caused by the movement of the
bells resulted in the dissipation of the
electric fluid in the air. The belief
was so common at one time that tho
priests had the bells rung as soon as
signs of an approaching thundertorm
was seen. Science now holds a con
trary opinion. Not only does tho
sound have no possible effect on the
air, but the vibration created by the
sound of a bell upon a cloud charged
with electricity may cause It to dis
charge Its contents upon the ringer
of the bell in the church tower.
Miniature Railway.
Germany possesses a miniature but
most useful railway to which no par
allel Is found in this country. Its
peculiarity Is that Us trains have no
drivers. It Is used for carrying salt
from the salt mines at Stasfttrt. The
trains consist of thirty trucks, each
carrying half a ton of salt. The en'
Klnes are electric, of 24- horse-power
each. As It approaches a station, of
which there are five along tho line, the
train automatically rings a bell and
tho station attendent turns a switch to
receive It. He is able to stop It at any
moment. To start It again be stand
on the locomotive, switches tho cur
rent and then descends again beforo
the engine has gained speed.

ABSENT-MINDEDNESS.
A Suggestion for Cure Concentration
la the Secret for Presence
of Mind.
The little bride who started to the
alter wearing her "gumshoes" over
her satin slippers was an awful u
amplo of the absent-minded woianii
who is with us today in a most x
apgrated form. She turns on !;
water when 1.1. e meant to light the
gas; locks the safe, but forgets to put
her Jewels In It; leaves her umtmil;
at the shop counter and sets tho
whole deportment More on e.lgo look
ing for it; orders threo yards of rib
bon cut off and then discovers that
she only wanted three-quarters of a
yard, and otherwise turns the world
topsy-turvy.
Now, there Is some excuse for a
man who is absent-minded. Men ars
supposed to be so busy thinking about
the big things of this life that they
have no time to bother with the little
ones. The noble creature who Is mak
ing a million in Wall street cannot
be expected to remember to bring
home a spool of thread and a piece of
blotting paper. As yet he may have
gotten only as far as a twenty-dollar
salary, but that million is already
buzzing in his brain, to the exclusion
of small gnats. Hesldes, It Is a wo
man's duty only to think of the little
things; and there isn t a mortal v.o-
man living who would not give two
fingers to be able to remember ami
attend to each detail In the right wr.y
and at the right moment. It saves rn
much time and energy, and mental
worry to keep one's wits a!uu.t on.-.
Yet with all the Jokes vihich k:
been written upon the abscr.;-!.ii'.''fl
ones, thero has never hotn a ul'i-'.o
cure offered or suggested.
Absent-mindedness is a hal.lt. Wo
have gotten in the way of living
ahead of ourselves. Wo try to t'.:I::k
ahead of what we are doir.?, ciul
thereby become Jumbled. We read tho
evening papers In tho morning, buy
our summer clothes in January nnl
have our fur coats made over in July
The woman who lives and thinks
ahead of herself dosn't gain time;
she only loses equilibrium. While she
Is making the coffee for breakfast she
is planning a new hat; while she U
buying the hat she is thinking of the
frock she will get to match it; while
the frook is being fitted, she is de
ciding to give a tea where she may
wear it. She never thinks of the
thing she is doing at the moment
when she is doing it. And yet that is
the secret for the cure of absent
mindedness, blues and every kind of
nervousness.
It sounds wonderfully easy, but it
Is not. Try It for a whole day. Keep
your mind on what .you are doing
every single moment, even H it s
only threading a needle or sitting
still In a street car. Don't dream,
don't get ahead of yourself. Do every
thing that you nmlertuke to do as if
that was the one and last thing you
were going to accomplish in this life.
If you merely stoop over to pick up a
scrap from the floor put your er.tiro
thought upon the act of the r.ionient
and see how much mors easily cad
quickly It Is accomplished.
Concentration Is tho saeret of prc3-
ense of mind. Tho woman wo has
presence of mind is, of all her sex,
most to be envied, for she gains
thereby poise, force and rcsorvo
power, which the absent-minded wo
man never can attain.
Culinary Conveniences.
Culinary conveniences are constant
ly increasing and the Inventors keep
faculties and wits steadily at work
devising contrivances that will lessen
labor for tne cook and add to the com

Sturgeon Becoming Scarce.
A sturgeon, weighing 375 pounds,
was captured Viy a gllnet fisherman
near Astoria a lew days ago, and sold
for 20. It has been less than twenty
years since sturgeon of that size were
almost unstable, and thousands of
pounds of the big fish have been cart
ed oft the Portland docks for ferti
lizer, after the consignees had refused
to pay the steamboat freight on them.
The prodigal waste of these fish a few
years ago, when their value was not
appreciated, has depleted the supply
to such an extent that they are now
almost extinct. It requires nearly as
much time to produce a 375-pound
sturgeon as it does to produce a six
foot saw log, and the tim6 Is ap
proaching when the big saw log, like
the big sturgeon will pass out of ex-
istnee, with nothing growing up to

Manchtirlan Freebooters.
Recently, It Is reported the Hung-
hutze, or Chunchuses, of Manchuria,
the so-called ' "redbearded robbers,'
who have caused the Russians so
much trouble, succeeded in stealing
a quantity of Russian amunition at
Tacheklao. These freebooters have
leagued themselves Into a body called
the "royal army." They are under
tho leadership of Li Ynen and they say
they have sworn not to rest until the
Russians are expelled from the prov
ince. They carry a flag closely resem

A word, however, touching the fa

gentle reader is not aware, perhaps,
that his kind Is numerous enough to
maintain a weekly "organ," a thirty-

of firms which stand very well with
