burned by the tire and trampled
into things of horror, told the
tale as well as anybody need to

A* an experiment,, we tried
the classified column last month,
believing that the small adver-
tiser would be benefitted and
thatattha same time the slight
cost would attract some who
have occasional use for the news-
paper as a means of disposing of
certain home products, etc. The
experiment was entirely satis-
factory from a business stand-
point and we are led to believe
that it is appreciated by the pub-
lic, generally. As long as the
column continues to justify it
will be continued. Only 26 cents
for a maximum of three lines
per week.

We learned yesterday of the
marriage of Mr. W. G. Howard
and Miss Isabella Chaney at
Iola last Sunday at the home of
the bride’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. C. Chaney. The groom
is well known at Navasota where
he has relatives and hosts of _
friends. He is a Grimes couhty | we cannot but think the figWrei

We are informed that Mr. W. f

the line of march in this exercise
bad always led to the front door
and the children had not been
trained to seek any other exit.
FRIGHTFUL PANIC.
The fire today came from a
K furnace situated directly under
I this partof the building. When
the children reached the foot of
the stairs they found the flames
cbee upon them* and so swift a
rush was made for the door that
in an instant a wedged mass of
children was piled up against it.
• From that second none of those
who ver* npon M, portion of
chance for their
children at the foot of the stairs
‘attempted to fight their way
back to the floor above while
■those who were coming down
shoved them mercilessly back in-
to the flames below. In an in-
' siaat there was a frightful panic
with fiOO pupils fighting for their
I Uses. Most of those who were
l killed died there. The greater

chance for their lives. The

Of rarest of fragrance ’mid dreamest flowers.
A welcome we’ll five our beautiful Queen,
For cheerless and cold old winter hath been.
Her coming we’l 1 sing with gladest of song
■ The whole realm of nature the strain will prolong-
For her will a carpet of velvet be spread,
Of infinite weave and nparvelous thread.
The print of her steps will be Idssed by the dew, , *
Warmed by the sun-beams all the day through
The lilies will gaze as she passes by,
From the low fence corners so sweet and shy,
The pansies with facts up-turned will say—
We are all so glad you come this way.
The dasies will don jtheir frills of white,
Their pearl banners wave as she comds in sight
The robbins with orchestry full and sweet,
Will be tuned to the time of her coming feet.
'She will pause where the silvery brooklets flow,
Where the ferns are tall and the mosses grow,
Will laugh as she sees in the depth so fair,.
Her marvelous beauty reflected there.
Will linger I’m sure where my loved ones sleep
Where the night bird calls and the willows wedp.
At her fingers’ touch will be lilies born, *
To deck their mounds on each coming morn.
Then welcome, thrice welcome, Queen of the year,
Thy coming will bring to us gladness and cheer,
Forgetting the long cold winter of naln,
We’ll smile aad be in thy presence again.

•Cleveland, Ohio. March 4.—
Penned in narrow hallways, jam-
med up against doors that open-
ed inward, between 165 and 170
children in the suburb of North
Collinwood today were killed by
fire, by smoke and beneath the
grinding heels of the panic-
striken playmates. The awful
tragedy occurred this morning
in the public school at North Cob
linwood, a suburb of this city.
At 10 o’clock tonight 165 corpses
were in the morgue at Collin-
wood, six children were still un-
accounted for and all the hospi-
than normally large and the
smaller children had been placed
inthe upper part of the building.
There was but one fire escape
• '■ r of the
building. There were tw6 stair-
ways, one leading to w door in
front and another to door in the
I. rear. Both of these doors open-
— ed inward, and it is claimed that
ths rear door was locked as well.
When the flames were discover-
ed the teachers, who through-
out seemed to have acted with
courage and self-possession and
to have str uggled heroically for
the safety of their pupils, mar-
shaled'the little ones into columns
