More accurate estimate to-day put the loss of life at from 200 to 500 and the property loss at from $4,000,000 to $10,000, 000 in the tornado that last night practically destroyed Regina, capital city of Saskatchewan. To-day, twelve hours after the storm, conditions are still chaotic, and It is thought it will require weeks to ascertain the damage that was wrought by the wind. Practical ly the whole north side of the city was wiped out. As bodies to-day were recovered scores of living rush ed to them, seeking to identify miss ing relatives, and the hospitals that remained standing were overtaxed and temporary shelter arranged. Doz ens of houses were pressed into ser vice as morgues. The entire city was in darkness last night. The path of the cyclone was sev eral blocks wide and passed through the heart of the city. Three church es, the finest in the city, were blown down. Railroad cars standing in the yards were picked up and carried many yards. Many river crafts and small sailing vessels were lifted from the water and carried into Victoria harbor, a mile from the lake. To-day all the buildings left standing near bear some sign of mourning. Improvised and temporary hospitals are filled. to Next! From the National Monthly. The widower had just taken his fourth wife and was showing her around the village.

Being a little near sighted, she asked him to read the inscriptions, and in reverent tones he read: "Here lies Susan, beloved wife of John Smith, and Jane, beloved wife of John Smith, and Mary, beloved wife of John Smith." He paused abruptly and the bride, leaning forward to see the bottom line, read to her horror: "Be Ye Also Ready." Anent, the Baltimore Convention. From the New York World.
