Witnessed.
MAY OR MAY NOT BE TRUE.
But It Will Appeal ToThe In
terest of Those Who Fear
Storms.
From the Detroit Free Press.
Great oaks from littlo acorns
grow, and even the tornadoes which
sweep over the western prairies
have small beginnings. O. J. Clark,
of Sibley, la., saw one of these
storms in its early stages and de
scribes it as at that time a small
affair. The next day he read of
the destruction of St Cloud Minn.,
by the same twister, and of the
killing of many people in its path.
Mr. Clark is a prominent lowa at
torney ami his statement naturally
carry considerable weight. His
story will furnish food for thought
among those who have delved into
the mysteries of the origin of the
tornado. The following is from a
written statement made by him
and duly attested by two gentle,
men who witnessed the phenome
non with him.
“Concerning the cyclone which
started in Osceola country a num
ber of years ago and which believ
ed to be the one that did so much
damage at St. Cloud, Minn., I
say, in beginning, that I do not re
member the exact date, but it was
seven or nine years ago.
“R. O. Manson, A. Lansing and
myself wore duck hunting about
five miles east of Sibley, in the
corn fields. It had been a dismal,
cloudy day, with occosional show
ers, and just befores sundown a
wind came up from the south so
violent that it seemed impossible
to stand up against it, although we
braced ourselves against our guns
resting on the ground. The wind
blew a perfect gale for about two
or three minutes. Its violence was
such that it blew most of the wa
ter <mt of a small pond lying di
rectly south of us. The pond cov
ered from a quarter to half an a
cre and was about six inches deep
in the deepest place. The water
made a blinding, drenching rain,
which soaked us through. Then the
wind ceased almost instantly to an
absolutely dead calm. If possible
in was even more than a dead calm.
There seemed to be a vacum where
we stood. It was difficult to
breathe—that is, it seemed like be
ing high up on the mountain,
whore the air is pure- This seem
ed to last from one to two minutes.
The sun in the west breaking
through the clouds just at the hor
izon, was of a dark-red color and
looked ominous.
“While we were watching be
tween us and the sun, more than
five or six rods away, a white puff
of what looked like clear, white
steam, about the size of a large
basket or barrel, camo up out of
the ground, and, with a swooping
motion—not straight up—arose
quickly to about thirty-feet in the
air and there became stationary.
Immediately thereafter another
puff exactly like the first came out
of the ground, about twenty feet
to the northeast from where the
first one came from, and with the
same irregular motion ascended to
and joined the first. Then anoth
er pull similar to the others came
out of the ground to the southeast
fr jm where first arose and as
cended to and joined others.
“This small white cloud hung
there some twenty or thirty sec
onds. Then it began mixing up
rolling and tumbling, so to speak,
for about half a minute. In this
short space of time it grew from
the small white cloud to the size
of an ordinary' dwelling house
Then it assumed a rotary- motion
and moved off toward the north
east, rising and falling alternately,
but not coming nearer than thirty
or forty feet to the ground. Still,
it made the corn stalks fly around
1 >hcm!d thii.t-,
. chrd up in the air about a quar
ter of a mile. The moving cloud
gradually turned from milk white
to black as it approached the sta
tionary one and finally went into
the black mass. We did not see it
again, as the black cloud obstruct
ed our view. When the moving
cloud passed into the black one it
was about the size of a triangular
acre of land and stood on end
with the small end down. Wcj
then got our team and drove home.
“The following morning we got
the news of the destruction of St.
Cloud, Minn., by a cyclone, which
followed the night following our
experience above narrated. We
then thought, and still think, that ,
it was ‘our cyclone’ that did the I
mischief, as it started in that di
, rection and was seen by farmers af
ter it emerged from the black cloud
. that shut out or view still going to ‘
the northeast high in the air. It
( naturally would have covered the
distance from its starting place to
> St. Cloud by 3 or 4 o’clock on the
. following morning.”
i
1 How To Find Out.
. Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
j hours; a sediment or settling indi
. cates an unhealthy condition of
. the kidneys. When urine stains
, linen it is positive evidence of
[ kidney trouble. Too frequent de
, sire to urinate or pain in the back
, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of or-
I der.
What To Do.
> There is comfort in the knowl
, edge so often expressed that Dr.
. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
l kidney- remedy, fulfills every wish
> in relieving pain in the back, kid-
> neys, liver, bladder and every part
» of the urinary passages. It cor
i rects inability to h >ld urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
, effects following use •of liquor,
; wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being com
pelled to get up many times dur
ing the night to urinate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by

Responsibility.
God has given us each talents,
he has endowed us with free wills,
the freedom which makes us divine.
Wo are free either to assist or defy;
God. To each of us the splendid
gift of-responsibility is given. We
may shut our eyes to this respon
sibility-, but we shall be called to
a strict account for it.—Rev. F. K.
Stone.

And yet thousands of womenare:
soumict' d In spite of all they
can do this continues to grow
worse, <-r at least grow no better. I
Tooth-brushes and breath perfume
seem of no avail. Tho reason of
the failure is, in the majority of
cases at least, they- do not know
the cause of their trouble. Per
haps the most frequent cause of
unpb asant breath isca’arrh. The
inflammation of the mucous mem
brane of mouth and throat discol
ors the teeth, coats the tongue,
causes the lips to become harsh and
sore, and imparts a more or loss
disagreeable odor to the breath
Such a condition must be an ex
treme annoyance to the women
whose instincts are naturally- dain
|ty ; and she would do anything in
; her power to overcome it.
To all such women, the word
that Pe-ru-na will absolutely cure
catarrh, will therefore be good news.
Pe-ru-na, by removing the catarrh,
sweetens the breath and causes
healthy secretions to take the plac*
of the irritating ones which have
been the cause of so much discom
fort. The teeth are easily cleaned
and the effects of a brisk brushing
remain. Tho tongue resumes its
natural color and the unhealthy
coating disappears. Catarrh of the
stomach also is often the cause of
foul breath. Pe-ru-na cures cat
arrh wherever located.
A book of 04 instructively illus
trated pages on catarrh, of which
Dr. Hartman is the author, will be
sent free to any address for a short
time by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manu
facturing Company, Columbus O

tric Bitters. This medicines does

acts mildly on tho stomach and
bowels, adding strength and giving
tone to the organs, thereby aiding
Nature in the performance of the
functions. Electric Bitters is an
excellent appetizer and aids diges
tion. Old people find it just what

Those Who Have Truly Lived,
The world, as we know it, the
world created by men and women,
has but a short history. A few
thousand years at most,’ and we
lose the record. But what changes
have taken place in those thousand
years! What changes, indeed, have
been wrought by- earnest men and
women, in the short space of time
since the grandmothers among us
were school girls ! Who will say
that the world is not a more com
fortable, better, a happier place to
day- than ever before? And it is
so because good men and women
have been endowed with the God
like purpose of making it and them
selves better and happier. Os all
the countless billions of men and
women who have lived and died,
only- tboy- who have had some share
in this evolution of the world to
ward the impossible end of perfec
tion, have truly lived. The others
have been spinning tops and roll
ing hoops, the toys of their own
childish selves.

Thought.
We are largely responsible for
thoughts. Thinking pure and no
ble thoughts will make us pure.
Thinking base and ignoble thoughts
will make us wicked. Thinking 1
men have made the world what it
is. A 1 ! the works of man around j
us are but the material form l
through which the thought of man
is expressed. Man never rises a
bove his thought. And the sub
limest idea man ever had is the
thought of Almighty God.—Rev.

On the road question the Augus
ta Herald says: “The best possi
ble investment that the state of
Georgia can make outside of in
creasing its educational faci'ities,
is to encourage scientific and sys
tematic road building throughout
the state. In a couple of years the
state will have to face the convict
problem. Many schemes have been
suggested relative to their disposi
tion and employment, but the most
practical and beneficial one would
be to devise a proper system of
working and improving the high
ways of the state.”
