Washington, March 25.—President ‘Wilson received a reply to a tele- gram from Mayor Dahlman of Omaha stating that assistance was not need- ed but the offer was appreciated. The telegram stated that the Omaba peo- ple were responding nobly, and Mayor Hartman of Fort Omaha and his men had come promptly ot his assistance and were doing great work. Much Damage in Chicago. Chicago, March 25.—Five persons were killed, fifty injured, thirty-two buildings wrecked and scores of struc- tures damaged by a storm which swept over Chicago and the suburbs Monday. The storm was accompanied by hail, rain, sleet and lightning, and a gale which blew at a rate of seventy miles an nour for a time was felt most severely in the northwestern section of the city, where houses were overturned, windows broken, trees uprooted, and electric lights and trol- ley poles blown to the ground. Nearly fifty swmall fires resulted and hundreds of men. women and children fled from their homes scantily clad. Considerable damage was done to Desplaines, Park Ridge and other suburbs. It is estimated that the property damage resulting from the storm here and in the suburbs is over a half million dollars. Housing Problem Here. Omaha, March With a death list probably aggregating 150, the list of injured reaching at least 400, Owmaha and the surrounding country in Nebraska and lowa last night faced a problem of housing thousands rendered homeless by the tornado. The number of buildings destroyed are said to be in the neighborhood of 1,200, and the property damage is ex- pected to reach several million.. Belated reports have tended to in- crease the enormity of the havoc wrought, and indicated a much wider territory had been in the path of the storm than at first was shown. Next to Omaha, where the deaths probably will not exceed 200, Yutan and Ralston, Neb., reported sixteen and fourteen deaths, respectively, and Council Bluffs, twelve. The city commissioners passed an ordinance appropriating $25,000 for relief work and citizens at the meet- ing donated $25,000. The citizens” elief committee, organized of fifty citizens, and the executive committee of seven is to work with the seven city councilmen. Governor Morehead notified Mayor Dahlman that he would send a spec- ial message to the legislature asking for an appropriation of sufficient funds to care for the homeless throughout the state. The public buildings ‘have been turned into sleeping quarters for the night.

One for the “Town Farmer.” Much fun has been “town farmer,” but Charles Allison of Great Bend turned a trick recently that opened the eves of the country tarmers. He marketed a load of alfalfa seed which brought $1,350, although; 2lfalfa is not selling at a high price. There were 1,000 pounds of seed in the load. It was second crop alfalfa, and that portfon of the field which Allison had worked with a spring tooth har Tow after each cutting this year gave him seven bushels of seed to the acre ~Kansas City Journal. 17,000 From 16 Buffaloes. E. O. Robinsou leased Melville island, in Australia, 20 years ego and imported 16 buffaloes, which he placed on the Isiand, and 16 more, which he turned loose on the mainland. There are now about 17,000 buffaloes on Mel« ville island and at least 200,000 on the mainland of Australia. It 18 said that butfaloes have swum across the inter- vening 30 miles. The natives had nev- er touched a buffalo till Robinson came.. Now they have as much beef aa they can eat. Robinson shoots 1,000 buffaloes each year for their skins Domestlc Discipline. “Can’t we get Johnny to take his medicine?” asked the father. “1 think we can,” replfed the moth- er, “if we drop it into the preserves and then pretend we have forgottem $o0 lock them up.” - 7o Tem poked at the; LARGE REWARD. FOR HO Entire Fortune of Eccentric Man Left te Yaung Girl Who Withstood . Temptation, A wenlthy man died in Brussels leaving nearly the whole of his fortune to a young woman who was entirely unacquainted with him. He was a very eccentric man, and set out, like Diogenes, in search of an honest man. His “tub” was an om- nibus, and his lantern a small coin. In the omnibus he took his seat near the conductor, and always showed himselt very obliging, passing up the | money of passengers and returning the change, but to the latter he al- ways managed to add a franc, or a halffranc. Then he would watch those to whom it came. They would count it carefully; notice the extra coin, and invariably slip it into their pockets. No one thought of the poor conductor, whose meager salary of three francs a day could ill spare such a loss. But at last a young woman passed hers back with: “Conductor, you have given me half a franc too much.” “Dlogenes,” delighted, followed her home, made inquiries, and as the an- swers were satilsfactory, made his will in her favor, though he never gave her warning that her half-franc was going to bring her a million. PEN MIGHTIER THAN TONGUE Neat Excuse of Brilliant Writer for His Inability to Deliver Ex- pected Speech. Not long ago & flourishing indus- trial town decided to honor a dis- tinguished writer who in his plays and novels has given us so many vivid pictures of his life and characteris- tics. Like many clever writers and talkers, he is no orator, and when he consented to be the chief guest at a banquet—people wondered how he | would get through the after-dinner speech. The toast of the evening, proposed in facile and florid phrase, ‘was enthusiastically honored, and as the great man reluctantly rose to re- ply some of the guests doubtless re- called the flashing epigrams in his plays. He paused a moment, .and then, glancing round the .crowded room, pulled a fountain pen out of | one of his pockets. “Mr. Chairman | and gentlemen,” he said, as he non- chalantly fingered the pen, “this is my only means of expression. I thank | you.” o Burial Place of Porter Clay. In the old cemetery at Camden, Ar- kansas, the body of Porter Clay, broth- er of Henry Clay, has reposed since his death in 1850. He was admitted to the bar in Kentucky, became state auditor, but began to preach in the| | Baptist churches, and in time conse- ! crated himself to that work. Finally | he removed with his family to Illinois, where a dispute with his church au- | thorities compelled him to resign a | pastorate. Soon afterward he became a wandering evangelist, going to Cam- den in that capacity and founding a church. He died there in 1850, two years before his illustrious brother. During all the years that have passed the women of this little church have cared -for his grave. At first they marked it with a headboard, but the | New Century Club of Camden erected & stone slab over the grave. Acetylene and Gasoline. The flame of acetylene gas is in- tensely white, and when examined by the spectroscope is found to resemble sunlight more nearly than any other artificial illuminant. Its extreme whiteness makes the naked light somewhat trying to the eyes, but when the light is softened by a suitable | globe this objection is largely over- | come. Whether this light or that pro- ! duced by a gasoline vapor lamp is the | easier on the eyes we are not prepar- i ed to say, nor can we offer an opinion ;a8 to the comparative cost of the two ! .; systems of lighting. An acetylene gas 1 plant is by no means difficult to oper- ate, and when ordinary precautions are taken there is absolutely no dan- ger. i | Lockjaw Superstition Exploded { There is a peculiar, but at the same | time widespread, superstition about | lockjaw that should ome be cut be- i tween the first finger and the thumb é thig terrible disease is sure to follow. | However, an eminent British scien- tist, who is an authority on tetanus, | to give the disease its scientific name, | has just given a vigorous contradiction | to this superstition. A cut between | the thumb and finger is no more like- | Iy to cause lockjaw than a cut between jany of the other fingers, he says. It {1s not the position of the cut that | brings on the disease, but the germs | that get into the wound. i Bite or Sting. { “Keep away from that” sai@ a waiter at an uptown restaurant to a | man who was standing in front of a newly arrived case of turtles and who was sucking his finger as if in pain. “What are you doing, anyhow?” “Well,” said the man, “I was trying to find out which was the head und | which was the tail of that beast over l,!.here in the corner, and perhaps you can tell me, for ¥'d like to know whether I've been bitten or stung”— Chicago Record-Herald. .

It 18 not at all surprising that there should be a big’difference of opinion among all players and wise baseball managers as to whether a left hander can play second base. The debate has been going on for some time. In fact, since 'Hal Chase expressed his desire to play that bag, and now that Chance has said that he is going to put Chase on second base if he can get in the game, and he says he will, the debate bas become all the warmer. Connie Mack, Willie Keeler, Clark Griffith and many other ball players declare that Chase will have no trou- Hal Chase. ble in playing that sack, while there rre some who were of the opinion that 2 second baseman could not make the plays which came around that cush- ion if he had to throw with his left hand. 5 ’ “I think Hal Chase can play any po- sition on the diamond with the excep- tion of the battery work,” says Con- nig Mack, manager of the Athletes. “The reason he will be able to play second’base is that he is the quickest man with his hands I have seen on the ball field in my time. He may be a trifle weak in that position, but then, again, be will make some plays down there that a right hander can not| make. “I think that he would be much bet- ter than some of the right handed second basemen we have in the gama right now. T saw him play that bag in . Philadelphia, and my players said that they thought he ceuld play any- thing on the ball lot. There have not been many men who have made a suc- cess of playing the infield who have been left handers. But then, again, there have been exceptions. 1 think Chase. is one ot them. He will shift with the players, and 1 think he can touch base runners. “If Chance finds that he can play there is no doubt in my mind that he will have another good infielder and Wwill not have to worry about his sec- ond base trouble.. Chance could not &0 through the country and pick up a man who could play as well as Chasa at second base, could be? If Chance finds that he cannot play, why Chase could do just as well in the outfield, but I look for him to be the regular second-sacker.” Southpaw Pitching Staff. Manager Joe- Birmingham at Cleve land is going to depend on a south- paw pitching staff. Birmingham be- lleves that Gregg, Cullop, Mitchell and James will be regulars next season.

What has become of the old-time pitchers who were known as “cold weather” twirlers. According to New York papers, Jim Thorpe has done everything but jump over the Brooklyn bridge. Manager Joe Tinker has announced that he would carry nine pitchers with : him throughout the whole season. First Baseman Jake Daubert of the Dodgers believes that Manager Bil Dahlen will have a winner this sea son. Sport writers pick the Giants te repeat in the National league. They say the Pirates lack pennant fighting qualities. A baseball writer claims that it the national commission gets a chance te run Mexico it will make = major league out of it. The Georgia School of Technology now has under construction in Atlants the finest athletic stadium in that sec tion of the country. 5 Manager Miller Huggins of the Cardinals believes that Ivy Wingo wil: be the best catcher in the National league this season. ~ Jacinto Calvo, the young Cuban se cured by Clark Griffith, is looming ug fine, and Griff believes that the young ster will make good. ‘Ward McDowell, the Nebraska boy purchased. by the Naps, is being boosted by Larry Lajole.

Louls soccer player for accepting a fee of 10 cents. The crime is not denied by the player, who claims that It was carfare, and so classed as expenses. The league committee declined to view It in this light, disqualified the player, and ordered the gamed in which he participated to be re- played. KITCHEN NEAT AND COMPACT Perfect Arrangement of Everything Neceéssary for Work Resulted in Great Saving of Labor. " The handiest kitchen this writer ever worked in was originally a rather roomny pantry, yet so carefully was everything arranged that there was uno crowding, and never an unneces- sary step as in a large room. The two doors opening into the dining room ‘and ‘store room opened out of the room. Being small it received sufficient heat from the dining room stove, so contained only a gasoline stove and a good-sized fireless cooker. Along one side was a big cupboard for the usual kitchen utensils. B A small shelf of convenient height held the food chopper always ready for use, while a flour bin with two compartments and sifters underneath was fastened to the wall. One folding chair stood at the end of the cupboard when not in use. On the opposite side was a large work table that let down against the wall, and above it was a cupboard for baking necessities. A hinged seat on the wall at the end of the table made a convenient place to sit while wiping dislies or preparing vegetables. A small iron sink con- tained the faucets, and provided an abiding place for. the high stool with which every kitchen should be sup- plied. . The work for a-family of three was done in this room with perfect ease, and even on washing day, when the machine and tub must be brought in, a | ltttle forethough prevented all crowd- ing. /1S LOSING HIS INSULARITY | According to Correspondent, the Aver age Briton of Today Is Becom- | Ing Almost Human. i o | “Ten years ago the ordinary Eng- | lishman would walk the whole length | of the platform in order to have a | compartment to himseif. If you hap- pened in the same compartment he | would shrink into a corner as if he | feared you were trying to get his watch: Cheap excursion trafic and rapid, convenient suburban services | have broken down the Englishman’s i desire for lonely journeys.

The “humanizing” of the English- man was attributed largely to the res- taurant habit, the increasing tendency to live in flats, the coming of the de- partment store, golf and continental tours. | Great Men and Music. " Bagpipes have a strange attraction for all sorts and conditions of people. That enthusiastic highlander, Dr. Alexander Duncan Fraser, in his book, “Some Reminiscences and the Bag- ing seriously ill in a Glasgow hotel when a highland gathering - was in progress in a room - just below. He i sent a message begging that the piper. would play to him, which he did, marching up and down the paseage | outside the sickroom. Then the great | actor told the piper how, in his youth, | he had played in Glasgow in a plece called “The Siege of Lucknow.” His entry had been the signal for the pipes to strike up. “I shall never for- get.” he sald, “the wave of enthusiasm that swept over that great audience as the first notes of the pipe fell upon | their ears—the highlanders were com- ing; Jessie's dream was answered; and Lucknow was relieved. I have loved the pipes ever since.” | | Playing It Safe. ! An overweight business man bolted ; headforemost into a luncheon room the other day and pounded on the counter, “Ham-neg sandwich, quick!” he or dered. There was a wait of five minutes and the man at the counter laid a roast beef sandwich in front of him. “I didn’t order this!” yelped the cus- tomer. “Bring me a ham-neg sand. wich!” . Another wait, and the counter man presented the exasperated customer with a cup of cocoa. The overwrought business man pulled nis derby down over his ears and headed for the door. “Where are you going?”’ demanded the counter man, “To a restaurant where the cook doesn’t gamble with the food!” snapped the overwrought citizen, as he disappeared. . ] Romans Invented the Catapult. The-catapult which suffragettes are using in the/old country in their carn. paign against shop and club windows was probably first used by the ancient Romans who made it & most formid- able weapon for warfare.
