FLASH OF DEATH H.MEAKLU the ice. We f iHf t-ome se.'fish neighbors once that moved m down the road; FURTtSEN BUIJLDINGH COME! XVe reckoned they was 'bout the MAN AND WIFE DROWNED. CRASHING DOWN AND j SEVEN ARE BURN ED. An' o O er a Score of .Lives Cut Off By the Explosion of' Two Small Gun powder Magazines Six Men Blown to Fragments Three Are Burned to Death Many Are Seriously Injured. J-Kwell, Mass., July 29 Two small gunpowder magazines, situ ated in the very midst of the humble residences of fifty mill operatives, exploded with a frightful concussion and the resultant wave of death cut on tne lives of more than a score of human beings and injured nearly fifty others. Half a dozen men who were load ing kegs of powder from one ot the magazines were blown to pieces; four boys two hundred yards away were killed by the force of the explosion, and foarteen frame houses within a radius of four hundred yards went down as if they had been built of cards. Seven of these houses imme diately caught fire, probably from tne kitchen stoves, and were com pieteiy consumed. At least three persons were caught in the ruins and burned to death, while seven or eight others, who were rescued, died sub sequently of their injuries. It is estimated that seventy separ ate pieces of property, including those already mentioned, were de stroyed, while the force of the ex plosion wrecked windows for five or six miles around, and its thunder could be heard distinctly more thau fifty miles away. The explosion shook the city and within half an hour there were at least five thousand people on the scene of the catastrophe. The crowd so badly hindered the work of caring for the wounded that the mayor sent out a militia call. Three companies responded and three hours later had thrown a cordon of men around the district and cleared the place of every one except those immediately en gaged in checking the flames and serening for victims. Thexloss of life is heavy. The loss of property will amount to $75,000. AS TO ADVERTISING. Does it pay to advertise?This ques tion is old, and the efliciency of ad vertising has been so often proved, that it seems strange that some should question the benefit derived therefrom. We assert most em phatically that it does pay to adver tise, it always pays, provided it is done right. Nearly all the big enterprises which have enjoyed marked success have been rearular advertisers. of them put aside a large proportion of their earnings every year to be used for advertising during the year ahead. The heads of these concerns know whether or not advertising pays, xney nave tried it, and they can trace an enormous amount ol their success to it. They tell Deonle through judicious advertising '- what they have to sell and what it can be bought for, thus saving the purch aser much time and trouble and thereby encouraging patronage Does advertising pay? 7 Ask regular advertisers. proudest folks we'd ever knowed, when we. parsed them now and) then we hold our heads up high snake dead sure they couldn't snub us if they was to try. it lt-nlly made rue nervous, so I jes' braced up one day An' thought I'd go ahead and show my manners anyway, On Sunday, 'stid o' turuin' 'round and gazin' at the view, I looked at them an' says, "Hello!" And they says "Howdy do!" It wasn't the old and formal greet - ing that you've sometimes heard: They smiled an' said it hearty, like they meant it, every word. It's solem' to reflect what we miss along life's way By not jes' bein natural and good humored day by day. There's lots of folks who fling the simple joys of life aside Because they dread the shadow of their own unconscious pride, And nine times out o' ten you'll find the rule works right an' true - Jes' tell the world "Hello!" and it'll answer "Howdy do !"
