I have just read the president's letter to this week's issue. Each, member oujjht to read bis letter carefully and then resolve to act. "Act in the living present." If you expect to be of any nso in the world, or any benefit to ycur fellow bein?, why cot be it now, why wait five or ten years, when such a jrood opportunity is offered now? The Howard literary club is a reality, fuliy organized and fully equipped, with a glorious banner and motto. Then, if we as the members are in earnest we sbouid give some time to studying the interest! of the club and writing such letters as will interest and instruct. The badge question is beore us now. Our presid-nt, by being awake and alive to the interests of the club, has found out that by buying 100 badges at one timn we can get a handsome little per cent off to go into our treasury. That is work be Las done. Now will the rest of as act by ending in the amount required and making up the club, thereby showing that we appreciate his efforts and tha: we are going to help crown bis anticipation with euccess. We ail want a badge, and why not get it now? Yes, we will get one now end wear it to tho reunion. I think Muceie would be a good place to have the reunion, and irbta set a

few more members down here in Tennessee I will call for a reunion at Jackson.

Then many of tho club would have a chance to eee the. Sunnv South for the first time. I think I will write a letter eoon and tell you pome of the peculiarities of the South; would do bo now, but time forbiia. Success to every effort is my wih. "Jay Mac.' Medina, Tenn., June 17. JIM BANTLY'S CYCLONE. "Yeseir! it etands to reason, as I tells Mariar often, that that's the only eafe way to do in a cyolone." And Jim Pantly, chief weather prognosticator for the Corners and rnaiu loafer of its one little fctore, emphasized the last w ord by deliherateiy taking aim at a harmless roach craw.inr from uuder the sugar barrel, which served Jim for a seat, anil almost annihilating that nocturnal bug with, a flood of tobacco juice. ' ' Robert'. tthoülßrC VlC6 ?reS' ii". "What stands to reason?" asked a young man filtering the store at this crisis in Jim's speech, dipping a dime upon the counter as be spoke, with the accompaning laconic order for ne cut. Why. that the sabs way to do in a cycione" is to tie yeraef up between two ft-athtr beds an' git ready to sail. Me an' Mariar keeps two feather beds on my bed all the time, an' I've got the rope handy ei that jista jerk or two'll fetch 'em up taut. I'on't you forgit it. The only thing about it is thet it's awful crowded with all the live children in along. I wanted to rig up a l ed for 'em, but Mariar wouldn't Lear to that. She haid when she started up in the air the young uns bed to go in the same boat she did. We migUt jtr-t as wed ad git ready for 'em, boys. We won't alais escape, now mark me." The last comer had rolled up a bail of the tine-cut and placed it in a satisfactory position in his clieek. It rolled pleasantly up to meet the down-coming corner of his eye, expressive of sarcasm a3 Le 6 poke. "liev you got a patent on the slip knots in your ropes, Jim? An' what'll you do with Manar's pap if the cyclone does come?" "Oh, you heerd thet. did you, I lowed eome of the young uns ud blab it." And Jim turned a calm unabashed eye upon the satinical young speaker squinting longward himself as though contemplating sending another flood upon the unlucky roach. "What was it, Jim?" spoke a bystander now, who scented a story back of the peculiar tone taken by the manipulator of tine cut. 'Nawthin' much, only this young feller thinks he's struck a joke. He better git a sharper pickax than his head contains ef Le ever cuts gravel niore'n an inch deep. Last Wednesday night, boys, you know what storm there wus a regu ar swizzer. Well, I didn't like the sound of it a bit, an' 1 just gethered Mariar an' the young una under them feather beds an' iixed to go up. Orandpap thinks he's awful brave an' makes fun of cyclones, but the wind got too much for him thet night, an' be come down stairs moat ekeered out of his wits, an' wanted in the bed with us. 1 told bun we wus too crowded as it wus, an' then pityin' him so. I told him to climb ud on the bed an' bang onto the high bed post an' if we went we'd all go together. I reckon the scare made the old feller shakier than common, fur ho tell off an' put his shoulder out'n place an' most broke one leg. Mariar couldn't stand thet, she jest made me unhitch the whole business, an' let her out to tend to him an' she's been nursin' an' waitin' on him ever since an' rrosser'n a setting hen in the bargain with me over it, jest as ef I wasn't doin my duty as far as I had lights ail the way through." And Jim drew a doleful sigh as be finished. "I don't see what you want to pile yourself lieiween feather bej,s for, anyway, Jim and tied in them at that also," answered the storekeeper. "What if the hou-"e would fall on you?" "No danger uv thet," said Jim. "I've studied the scientilics uv cyclones, an the electricity in 'em alius busts the walls uv the house outward, that's the reason so few is killed in 'em. The only danger is bein' took up in 'em, or bein struck by some thin' flyin', an' it stands to reason that feather beds" "No dauger of Jim's house hurtin' him if it would fall on him," put in the smart young man now. No danger of you'r ever gittia' hurt, either with a cyclone leaatways. You'r so windy yersef that if one would come your way you would change its course immejiatly. I guess that's the reason, boys," with a wink around, "that this country has been saved frum 'em." Hut Jim while speaking was groaningly and slowly getting down from the sugar barrel. That ketch in his back was worse than usual today, sure sign of a storm. He apostrophized to himself as be set eat for home. The smart young man's jibe at his house had set him thinking, lor that aüantjr of his, with iti ua-

plastered walls, rotting frame and leaky roof, was a constant source of trouble between himself and his energetic, thrifty wife. Just that morning she had threatened to burn it down and take the children to the poor house if he did not try to build a better one. He remembered now tli at he had left her no stove wood and it was almost dinner time. He w ould hurry home and get the wood as a kind of a peace offering to the morning's quarrel. The Corners, as the few scattered bouses, the one store and blacksmith shop which comprised it were called, lay directly in a great storm path. For some reason it had never yet been visited by a storm out of the ordinary. The destructive cyclone and electric storm had passed it on all sides and so far had given it good berth. A few days after the above narrated conversation saw the black clouds rolling up in the west and south in a way that sent the scarey ones of The Corners off in a tremor of apprehension. "No use talk in'. It's a coaiin' this time sure," said Jim 13antly from his out post, the hitch rack, in front of the store. "There's no Dniatakin' that green reflect Un in the clouds. Hunt your holes, boys, an lay clost fur its a comein. as I live." and Jim's long legs put out for home in a way and a pace their owner seldom accustomed them to. "I won't git in that bed agin' an' make a fool of myself," said Mariah, a little snapping-eyed, pharp-tongued woman. "There's no cyclone a comein'. You'r always predictin' something that never coine.s to paa8. I wish one would come and blow this old shanty olf'n the face of the earth. Then maybe you'd be forced to get a better one."

"Tut! Tut, Mariar! Shame on yer. An' blow me aud the younguns off with it. You'll be wiebin' next I reckon, (.iit in grandpap. We'll make room for you, too. Take two or three of thein kids in your arms. Hustle, its a comin'. " No use to tell them to hustle now. For with straiued ears and blanched cheeks they knew the terror was almost upon them. No one who has ever heard the tdrange ominous roar will ever mistake iL No noise so far upon earth can equal it. And in less time than it takes to tell it, biacknes of night and dire suffocation had settled dowd upon the I-antiv's. The awful whiz and roar was around them a moment and gone as quickly as it had come. "l.ur pap," said the oldest Bantly boy, "Where air we, underground or above the clouds?" "Mercy, give me air or I'll smother," groaned grandfather, pinned down under the we ight of the children. "Mariar, air you dead'."' howled Jim, who had more Lreath it seemed, than all together, and be tugged vigorously at the ropes, which he could not get loose for the weight above them. "I never thought the old house bad so much weight aud timber in it," he soliloquized in bis frantic endeavors. The upper tick gave way scattering and threatening to engult them in its mass of leathers. A putl" of wind and rain came dashing through some opening in the boards near them, scattering the feathers and bringing partial relief. It seemed i.-nirs. Hhhou.di it was only the half of -ne. before help came to the hiilerers. Then voices, ianterns and even torches, d so ire the storm, appeared upon Ihn scene headed by the smart voung man, eti i rolling a wad of tine cut in his cheek, though now in a rather reckless manner. "I leavings and nirtti. boys. I believe the whole 1'autlv Kit are under thi.- pile; every one of 'em alive, too, from the screechin' there puttin' through 'em. He called loudly as he ewung his lantern to and tro, "We're comin', Jim, keep up spirits, your own house is blowed away an' a good deal bigger an' stouter one blowed right in on top of you. Every house in town is down Jim and nobody hurt les its you folks." And the windy youug man made his ax fly as fast as his tongue Hew. They all got out pafely and soundly except Mariah, who was "shook up a little," to ue her own diagnosis of her case. Sure enough the old house was gone, and iu its piace was the frame, siding and roof of one much larger und newer, come from no one knew where, or ever' could find out. "It's ours," said Mariah; "and I want you to go to work and put it right to gelber, Jim. And dig a cellar under it, too, for cvclone purposes." "Well," I guess I'll have to." said Jim reflectively to a neighbor, who wus sizing ud the situation of affairs with them; "the old house is gone, hide an' hair, an' rot a tiling hev I found yet that was in it. inless it was a pair of bed ticken overalls I found up in a tree an' 1 can't swear to them for sure, for Sara I'ickerin says he lopt a pair prezactly like 'em the evenin' of the cycione." "Still. I hold to it yit. with all the loss, that feather bods is the thing to tie to in a twister." Ida Shei'LEk. IMPORTANT. The Recording Secretary Wants Erery NamUmr'm Attention tnThit, To tite H. L. C This week I mail the members each a copy of the constitution and by-laws, and if any fail to receive one please to inform me of the fact. With each I send one of the application blanks and with it we wish each to bring a new member. If any of the members have permanently changed his or her home in the past two years, or since we adopted the present roll, will they please send me their present address; also the sisters who have married, will they send in the name by which they are now known? Quite a number of the members have not exchanged their old certificates for, a new one. They should do so as the new ones are much nicer than the old, and we only send the book catalogue with certificates. I feel sure all will appreciate the excellent work the executive committee has done in getting the constitution and bylaws into pamphlet form ; also in getting up auch an elegant badge as the one the chairman has described. At the price named (51.25) we may be Bure it will be neat and durable and something we will not be ashamed to wear. Let all who possibly can be eure to buy one, and send the order promptly, and let every member inclose the application blank he receives for some friend and return it to me. Fraternally, Dora Oi.dkr, Eecording Secretary. Adrian, Mich., June 18. "A ROLLING 6 I ON K, ETC." "lTnh" Pliauim tli FoolUlinaaa of so Msfh Chang and itrstlessnos Friends of the Howard Club Well I am back once more after some time and hope that I will be welcome. It seems that the page is getting smaller, and we ought to all of us write regularly and there won't be any room for advertisements on the page. There is one thing that I want to touch npon, and that is the farmer's discouragements on account of the late wet spring and wanting to sell out and go somewhere else. But I would advise them not to do so. For we must all have our down hearted spells once in a vhi e. This world won't move along to suit us all together. Far a large proportion of the American people are restless, roving, scattering, driven about Children Cry for.

from place to place by every spring freobet or popular excitement. Their deeire for quick gains and their perpetual motion, wear them out prematurely. Tney build houses for life-time reside nces, and are ready to sell out their newly built homestead a week after it is finished (for perhaps lees than cost) and otf they go, perpetually swinging around the circle of chronic change. To the pleasure of home and neighboring attachment, to repose of feeling and content of mind, and love of objects around them, they are strangers. The fruition of the trees they plant they rarely witness. Of all their positions, they have nothing home-like to gladden their heart. The gardens they lay out, the furniture they buy, and the houses they build, aL'ord 'no home-loving memories, and why? Because they don't Btay long enough at one place. After wearing out half a life-time in perpetual change of habitation, with little gain am great I099, they see their past career nothing but failure. Habits wayward, the mind perplexed, the purpose cowed, their energies baffled and disappointed, they surrender to fate and accept in moody despair their abject situation; and often' with conscience seared and morals wrecked, without home or friends, they settle down too late and die among strangers. And so we ought tobe content and let well enough alone. "A roiling stone gathers no mess." "IVANnOE." June 15. BAOQES AND REUNION.

"JfDM Talka About Hoih Subject And Semi In Eftrueit. Dear H. L. C. Brothers and Sisters Please excuse me for intruding again so soon, even without a welcome, but as the page was over half short last issue, I thought I would not let it get any smaller. It eeems to me that purely there is enough of us to keep the page some where near full, at least. We have not had a letter from California for a long time. What is the reason? Can any one explain? I did not get the issue of The Sentinel of Juno S therefore missed the chairman's letter of information. Hut it seenin from the way the president speaks that badges have been secured, and that the club gets the advantage of a slight discount, provided the president can receive enough applications, with cash in advance, to secure the sale of 100 badges. We all want a badge, and before the reunion at that, which is not very far off. So let us all send in our Si. 25 cash, "the price of the badge," to the president at the earliest possible moment, that the president may secure this ottered discount aa he desires; and, that we may receive the badges before very long. Keiiiember that this discount goes into the cluh'ti treasury, which is of interest

and a benefit to each nd every member. It is oi interest to the general welfare. Therefore let us freely and promptly respond, if we want a badge, and we surely do. The price is turely within reach of all. It seems that the committee hss submitted for suggestions the place most suitable at which to hold tho next annual reunion. The president has suggested that it be held somewhere in the natural gas beit, and has mentioned Muncie as most suitable. I be trtily sanction his suggestion. 1 live only a short distance from Muncie, which is the couuty seat of Delaware county, and in the very center of the gns lield. It is the largest and strongest city in tha belt utilizing more gas than any other. It will be not only a pleasure but a benefit and a means of much instruction for thore never having seen natural gas. its use and great advantages, to come and see for themselves, for the half has not been told. If Muncie proves to nioot with much favor i will in the future give a full discription of her surroundings and advantages.

Four Lives Lost on a Farm at Erie, Pennsylvania. Ekie. Fa., June 10. A most shocking tragedy occurred here this afternoon. Anton Stabiein, (ieorge VonAiten and Frank tapper, all moulders and two others whose nams were unknown went to Buiialo, N. Y., on Saturday and proceeded to beat their way home today on a freight train. As the train reached Angora Brakemaii Loreila ordered the men oil'. The order was obeyed quietly. Sapper aud the two straugers jumped oil at tho right side and landed safely, but as Stablein and VonAiten jumped off on the other side they were struck by a passenger train and instantlv killed. The three other men, after realizing what had happened, became angry and drawing revolvers fired ten shots at the brakeman and a fireman named Mctiuire, who had come to tht scene and then liei toward Krie. After the fight it was found that Lorella was dead, his body being riddled with bullets, and Mctiuire was fatahy injured. Sapper was arrested a few hours later in Krie, and denietl all knowledge of the crime, but a dying statement by Von Alten implicated hin; in it.
