THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. VOL.18 NO 11 Short Eulogy of C. U. Anderson. 66 years 3 months 29 days ago Chas, Upton Anderson first saw the light of day in Merriam Co., Fulton, Ky. At the early age of 4 years was brought by his parents to Lafayette Co Mo. remaining here until he entered manhood. In 1863 year of proclamation he came to Kansas City, Ks. a young man at the age of 23 yr. when the fires of his youth were all aglow in its busy zeal and a noble heart he started out to make an honorable living and to be felt in the community as a citizen worthy, honest and upright.

JUST THINK A journalist by the name of Frank A. Munsey, owner of the Argosy Magazine Munsey's Magazine, The Scrap Book and a Home Journal of some small circulation, owns and publishes a paper hese, which he calls the Washington Times. This Times was started about 4 years and from its birth has useb every base method of yellow journalism to injure the Negro thinking in this step to cater to the prejudices of the community in which his paper has a large circulation and win in the field of competitian over the Washington Evening Star a paper which is a model of American journalism. But it has not been satisfied, even under the eye and personal supervision of Frank A. Muusey, to falsify accounts concerning colored people; hence, it issues an advertising folder which contain the very falsely significant paragraph: "Washington, the Capitol of the nation has a population of 355,000 which 95,000 are colored and are disregarded in the Times' circulation. What is said below, therefore applies wholly to the white population." Following this paragraph was one dealing with wealth and income which in no wise reckoned with the colored people, and then came the following: "The Times has not only not sought circulation among the colored people, but it has deliberately avoided it and in its news columns has shown emphathetic that it is a paper for white people." The above is surely convincing, and we call upon the colored people all over the country to strike from their list of reading mater any and everything with which Frank A. Munsey has anything to do. He is using his organ to degrade you and debase you, and honor anb self respect demand that you resent his unjust imputation and contemptible slur and malicious falsebood. His Times is like the politician who never wants of fice. He always has his hand out for money; and while Frank A. Munsey is declaring he does not want colored people to take his papa', his agents pleads with the colored people to subscrib and his collectors are calling upon them as upon the whites. But the sad part of it is, some of the colored people continue to buy and read this penny sheet, which was conceived in sin and born in iniquity. Strike back at this pernicious influence and crush this serpent's head; unless you prefer to slander and abuse rather than stand where you can and where it is your duty to stand for the right. Touch not and hannle not any that comes from Munsey.—Plaindealer. Publication Notice In the District Court of Wyandotte [County Kansas. Nathaniel Singletary, Plaintiff, vs. No. 20168.

Attest: By I, F. Bradley. Atty. ‘Wm. Needles. Clerk. Dec. 7 Size of Ancient Babylon. Ancient Babylon was not suck a great city as some have supposed, ac- cording to H. Valentine Geere, the archaeologist. He says: “The idea of Babylon's vastness and magnifi- cence, to which we have becosie ac customed, has been practically explod- ed. Dr. Kodewey told me that the site of the city was larger than that of any other ancient city; but evev 80, the idea that it could be compared with London and its suburbs, which has been very generally held, is en- tirely erroneous. In point of fact, it appears that its walls were not more than eight miles in circumference, SHIELDS FOR TROOPS IN WAR. Their Use Urged by a German Mili- tary Writer. A writer in the Militar-Wochenblatt raises anew the question of the use of portable shields for the protection of infantry in the attack, says the ‘Bread Arrow. He writes approvingly of the Japanese spade work in the offensive, the more so because he mentions inajdentally, as a matter re garding which there can be no dis- pute, that the German authorities have long since advocated the use of artificial cover in the attack, and points out that when the ground was frozen or rocky, and the spade could make no impression upon it, the at- tacking Japanese infantry not infre- quently went forward, carrying with them filled sandbags weighing as much as forty pounds. He remarks that if the undoubtedly brave Japa- nese soldier found it necessary to load himself with so bulky and bur- densome a protection when advancing in the open against an intrenched en- emy it would seem far better to equip the infantry with a light, handy shield. Furnished with a handle by which to carry it, a loophole to fire through and some arrangement to prevent its falling down, the infantryman would then find himself, like his gunner comrade, protected by a bullet-proof shield. The writer in the Wochenblat! suegests that on the march the shield should be carriedon the back, when going Into action on the chest, and when advancing to the attack in the left hand, so as to be at once available for use when lying down to fire, both as head cover and rifle rest. YOUR HAIR SHOULD BE DRAB. That is the Fashionable Color, So an Authority Sava. See eT gee “Deep auburn and the drab shades are the fashionable colors in hair this season,” said the woman who makes hair coloring a speciality, as placidly as though she were commenting on the state of the weather or the ad- vance style in dress goods. “One of my customers has to my knowledge worn five different colors or shades ea her wavy tresses. Hav- ing been blessed with medium brown hair by nature she became a ravish- ing blonde when the fashion for bleaching first came in. “Next she took to titian red after a trip to the art galleries of Europe. Then she thought she would be more attractive as a brunette, and now her hair is drab. “The last is by far the most popn- lar of all for the reason that {s most dificult to obtain, and then it fs pret- ty generally becomiug, and it happens that women who are born with this particular color of hair are almost al- ways clever. “How is it done? Well. in case of a woman whose hair is dark a bleach Must first be used before the dye is applied. With women whose hair has turned gray it is a still simpler prot- lem.

But not long ago one man had a new excuse, He wrote with pride: “Wife had twins.” The second slow person that morning was in a great hurry, and did not notice the innovation, but made his custo- mary ditto marks, and the rest of the men on that page followed suit.

Those who will first discover and apply the hidden powers of the air, the water and the sunshine will open the way to the colossal fortunes of the best few centuries. Land, timber, metals and jewels have given their millions of dollars, but the energies of the air, the sunshine and the water, awaiting the inventive geniuses of the future, promise greater financial possibilities than all of these. There is no question but that electricity is the greatest power in the world and it is still in its infancy. The engineering problem of today is how to develop this electrical current in the easiest and most ecological manner. It is estimated that throughout the world about 2,000,000 electrical horsepower is being generated from water-falls and streams. One-quarter of this great horsepower is generated in the United States, with Canada second and Switzerland third. To generate 2,000,000 horsepower continually by the ordinary steam engine would require some 25,000,000 tons of coal and allowing $5 a ton for the cost of the coal this would represent a saving of $125,000,000. Situated in this country there are thousands of streams capable of producing from 160 to 50,000 or more horsepower. Others., like Niagara, and Victoria Falls in South Africa, and the innumerable falls of the Mississippi, the Colorado and the Missouri, have water powers that seem unlimited. If every part of the easily torrent of Niagara was harnessed it would easily generate sufficient electrical power to do all work this country. The value of a stream for power purposes depends upon the amount of water flowing and also upon its head, that is the height of the fall, whether a sudden drop or rushing down a slope. The small mountain stream which tumbles noisily down the rocks often worth more than the broad, english river flowing through a low country. One cubic foot of water a second may equal in power the total stored energy of many tons of coal. What is even more wonderful, the water may be used twice; first for generating electrical power; second, irrigate farm lands in dry countrys. Wit- the electrical pump the dam itself can be pumped to levels of ordinary ditches could not carr. Electricity can be made to sit and heat the homes, in the countrys ween as in the city and run feed trusses threshers and cream sep raisons the farm, as well as the wheeers of the cars and factories. The wind was the first of the elements to be harnessed. Previous to this the treadmill was the only form of mechanical power. A windmill for the generation of electrical current is a more recent accomplishment. Dr. Charles F. Brush, the inventor of the arc light, in 1889 first utilized the windmill to run his generators at Cleveland, Ohio, for the purpose of lighting his house laboratories. In Europe commercial windmill electrical plants are being built, such plant established at Wittkell, Schleswig, lights the town and an air windmill at Hamburg has been successfully used to furnish current for a factory. A windmill electric at Boyle Hall. Ardsley, in England has a capacity of 110 lamps. Nansen uses a windmill electric plant on his polar trips. The good Fram was equipped with such an apparatus and during the long Arctic visits the ship was lighted and heated electricity. The electric windmill is a Godsend in the far northern countries where coal and wood are typically unknown. In the great blue states windmills are extensively used for irrigation purposes and furnish electric power. One windmill will irrigate ten acres of land during the summer and furnish safety for the house and farm from Ozawa, member of the Japan- house of peers, and special repre- sentive of the emperor, in a New interview said: "Japan has looked justly for an alliance with the United States, because in substance there always regarded this country great ally of Japan. We are de- d of having such an alliance if it be arranged. As long though, as misunderstanding like the antisease feeling in San Francisco ex- d might not be possible to bring an alliance." seventh of Great Britain's to- oweign commerce passes through Nuez Canal.

A striking illustration of the conditions prevailing among more than 20,000,000 starving peasants in Russia is afforded by a petition received at the headquarters of the Russian Famine Relief committee 13 East 15th street, New York city. A literal translation of the petition shows not only the depths of suffering and despair to which the famine stricken peasants have been plunged but also the social and educational conditions of the sufferers which make it difficult for them to frame an appeal to the outside world for assistance. It reads: "We humbly beg the Zemstvo of Samara, as receiving no aid or relief from anywhere. "All our own means are exhausted by the famine, all our cattle and other moveable property are sold to keep us from death by hunger, we are the poorest of the poor. We are afraid to enter our wretched cottages because of the children. One is crying, the others are groaning for food; seeing them causes our tears to flow and the blood to leave our hearts. "As if to mock our misery we hear from strangers that in this or that village a free kitchen has been opened. We have nothing, nothing. Can it be that we are doomed to death through hunger? How glad we would be if we could only get bread and potatoes—even if good people would only give them to our children and old women—we would know how to thank Almighty God sufficiently. Yeah! we pass our days together thinking about these things—but what can we do? None of us knows anything; we are quite in the dark. We go about like dead already, and instead of the dazzling whiteness of the snow we see something greenish in the ground and again we wait for the day to pass, hoping against hope. "What shall we do? Where shall we go? What shall we say? What are we to do? Go home to our huts? The very word home makes our hearts turn. But there is nothing else to do—we go home, enter the dark house trying not to look at the wife or children pretending not to hear their eager questioning—'Where have you been, father?' And like everybody's enemy, like some wild beast, you slink away to your corner to seek forgefulness in sleep. But no, sleep does not come something prevents it and bitter thoughts chase through your head, one after the other, like the waves of the sea. And so you toss till daybreak, and in the morning—we get up and flee. Where to? You don't know. What shall we do? Where can one find bread? You don't know. Again we all crowd together, like a flock of hungry birds and twitter about our sorrow. All at once some man who can read and write joins us and says, 'Friends, you must beg the authorities for help. And we all begin entreatin; him, 'Be so kind, write a petition.' 'Perhaps it shall reach some man in power, and at the same time—our prayer shall reach God.' Well may the Lord bless us * * * Speak? 'You begin, Basil Cherkassoff. "All my harvest was 10 poods (400 pounds) of rye. This lasted only till September, because I have a wife and six children. After this was eaten, I began to sell our clothes and household things then I sold a horse—and so we lived till December. Now I have nothing more to sell though I have two starving horses yet left, but how am I to sell them? Spring is coming, what am I to plough with if I sell them? And I have only one cow left and that one can't stand the neighbors help me to lift it on its legs of a morning, and my horse—it is hardly anything but the name of a horse—a puff of wind can knock it over. I can't say anything Where pride begins worth ceases. A woman is not always sure her children are the smartest in town, but she never has any doubt about their being the most truthful. more, only God have mercy upon us ir we do not get help.’ “And you, old Peter—wnat can you add? ‘Oh, brothers, I can manage yet— I am the only workman at home, I have a heap of children and only one eye—so that I can see only half the misery that you do. We do get a bit, now and then, not from the authorities, but begging.” The collection of contributions for the relief work is being carried on in this country by the Russian Famine Relief committee, 135 East 15th street, New York city, of which Samuel J. Barrows is secretary. No contribution is too small, and the Morton Trust company acting as treasurer, will acknowledge all. The money is to be used only for the saving of life. Five dollars will save an adult, five cents a day will keep a child from death by starvation. ABE HUMMEL CONVICTED. The Divorce Lawyer Goes to Sing Sing. One year in state prison and pay a fine of $500 was the sentence imposed upon Abraham H. Hummel, the lawyer, who was convicted of conspiracy to annul the divorce in the famous Dodge-Morse case. Hummel's conviction and sentence was affirmed by the appellate division of the supreme court. He was a witness for the prosecution in the Thaw case. He testified that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw made an affidavit to him that Harry K. Thaw had beaten and abused her. On the stand Hummel was submittedq to a scathing arraignment by Mr. Delmas of Thaw's counsel. The facts in the Dodge-Morse case follow: Charles F. Dodge kept a hotel in Atlanta, Ga. His wife and he had trouble. She became the housekeeper of Charles W. Morse multi-millionaire head of the New York Ice trust. Mrs. Dodge sued for and received a decree of divorce and married Morse. Shortly after this Dodge appeared in New York and announced that he had not been served with a court summons in his wife's divorce case. He began suit to set aside the divorce decree which would annul the marriage to Morse. Hummel was Dodge's attorney. Suddenly charges began to be made and it was asserted that there was a conspiracy afloat. It was charged that Morse himself was trying to have his marriage annulled so he could wed Mrs. Gelshenan, a rich New York woman, who was a Catholic. This Morse denied. Dodge suddenly fed, and money flowed like water to get him out of the country. He was caught in El Paso, Texas, in flight for Mexico. Dodge was taken back to New York and confessed. This was his confession, which was borne out on the stand: Hummel called him to New York, where he told him he wanted him to contest the divorce Mrs. Dodge had obtained. Dodge did so and in the course of the suit and his flight was supplied with $70,000 by Hummel. Hummel offered no evidence at the trial. He asserted that Dodge was the sole conspirator and that he (Hummel) was contesting the decree in good faith for the uncle of C. W. Morse. It seems that this "Uncle Jim" was the innocent cause of all the trouble. He loved Morse's children by his first wife devotedly and objected to Mrs. Dodge for a niece-in-law so he hired Hummel to set aside the marriage and keep Mrs. Dodge as Dodge's wife. He put up the money, he says, and left all details to Hummel who, he says, he supposed to be acting in strictly lawful manner.

Seventy-five per cent of the milling and elevator capacity of the cities at the mouth of the Kaw are on the Kansas side and most of them are in Kansas City, Kansas. As a produce center the city is a giant in its class, and the development of the country in all directions insures a continuance of the growth that has distinguished the market in years past. To meet the demand for a cash market for the produce that centers here, a Board of Trade has been organized at Kansas City, Kansas, and the same has opened for business under promising auspices. It has been incorporated under the laws of Kansas with W. W. Haskell, president and D. W. Troup, secretary. The members of the Board include all the bankers and leading business men of Kansas City, Kansas and such men as W. T. Harris and S. H. M. McCullough of Solomon, Kansas, C. W. Peckham, Haven, Kansas E. M. Block, Preston, Kansas, and many other farmers in Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska. One of the large buildings on Minnesota avenue has been leased for a term and has been remodeled and fitted for the accommodation of the business. Although the Exchange has been opened only a short time, a brisk trade is going on while the interest taken by shippers and correspondents throughout the West indicates that a strong market will be built up in Kansas City, Kansas. The Exchange meets on the third floor in a room about 50 by 60 feet, equipped with everything to expedite business. The second floor has been sublet to buyers and others connected with the Board. President Haskell stated that the object of the Board as set forth in the articles of incorporation, are: "To promote uniformity in the customs and usages of merchants; to inculcate principles of justice and equity in business; to facilitate the speedy adjustment of business disputes; to inspire confidence in the business methods and integrity of the parties hereto; to collect and disseminate valuable commercial and economic information, and generally to secure to its members the benefits of co-operation in the furtherance of their legitimate pursuits; to establish a clearing house for purpose of effectuating a convenient and rapid settlement of contracts among its members. The cardinal principle of this organization being, that any member in conformity to the rules of this association shall have the absolute and unrestricted right to make and enter into any bona-fide transaction on the Exchange floor or elsewhere that he may desire to make, which is not contrary to the laws of the land, subject only to this prime condition; that he shall honestly carry out the same when made. Also to promote the general welfare of the grain producers of the state of Kansas and other States." "This is an anti-grain trust organization," continued the President, "and individual grain shippers may ship their produce here with the assurance that it will be handled to the best advantage the market affords. While we are a Kansas organization our business will be extensive in Nebraska, Oklahoma and other localities west and south." A man can always prove by his wife that he was off on a business trip by bringing her home a present that he says cost less than she knows he could buy it for in her town.

The late Thomas Coldwell, the inventor of the hawm mower, was noted in Newburgh for his charity. A citizen of Newburgh once stole some money? He was bitterly attacked in consequence. But Mr. Coldwell stood by him, and to a certain man who was maligning him he said one day: "You, I see, are a fair weather friend, George. Well, you are not singular there. Most friends are like you. "There was a man who said to a convict: " 'Always do right, and your friends will stand by you.' " " 'Yes,' the convict answered bitterly, 'but the time a man needs friends to stand by him is when he does wrong.'

Silas Ais atin ol eta eR ca The Browns lived on the banks of the Missouri river, The family cov- sisted of Mr. and Mrs. Brown and their son and daughter, Jack and Mar- fe, respectively. One Apml day Mrs. Brown was called to see a sister who was very ill in a town some 20 miles distant. As Mr, Brown had some bus!- ness to attend to in the same toivn he decided to accompany her, Thus Jack and Marie were left to keep house and look after the farm in general. There Was an old woman making her home with them who helped with the light household tasks, but she was too aged to superintend things in general when the master and mistress were absent, so this duty fell upon Jack and Marie jointly: ‘Those who know anything about the Missogri river will not be surprised when I tell them that for some weeks past this mighty and turbulent stream had been changing its bed. ‘This was nothing uncommon, but the fact that the waters were slowly and surely coming nearer and noarer to the Browns’ house and barns gave the family reason for uneasiness, for for- nierly the river had made its move to- wards the epposite banks.

However. Mr, Brown nor the farmers living along the viver did no: feel immediate danger. They figured Unt about next spring the resl trou ple would develop, and that then they wold have to move back to safer points. “We'll be gone several days, s2n,” said Mr. Browa, speaking to Jack on ‘the morziag of his and Mrs. Brown's departure, “It is too wet to plow— ‘and a bit too early into the bargala— ‘there's nothiag to hasten us licme ex- cept our children, But you are a little man and Marfe a litile woman; s0 I feel certain you can look after every- ‘thing as well as your mother and I could.

Thus the children were busy ail day and very happy. But at times the roar of the mighty Missouri, a few hundred feet away, made Marie at work in the house stop to listen and shudder. Although she feared nothing now, she trembled to think ef the dan- ger in store for their house and out- buildings in the future. Her father had said that morning that if the river did not turn its course duwing this high water time he would be obliged to have the house moved back some hun- dreds cf feet before another spring thaw. This would occasion a great ex- pense and considerable loss of land, which would be swallowed up by the river. That evening about sunset Jack went down to the water's edge to ex- amine a pole his father had set into the bank by which to gauge the rise of the’ river. In the morning the water was about three feet from the top of the pole, Now, to Jack’s herror, there was less than a foot of the péle show- ing, and the water had washed under Se es A Cedi eS the bank to sueh an estont that he foung gotng near t2 the pole out of the question, for there would be danger of the sround—@ soft clay— etving way vencath him and letting bin into the racing current below .Then Jack made a trip to the farther end cf the curve, where the bani were lower and less able to withstand the rash of wild wa- ter, Ho was frightened to seo that the water bod ent tts way tar zato the Tand, mauling whet he termed an in- let. He hurried back to the hose to re- peat the news to Marie and Aunt Jane. But nothing tess than danger right ander her nose could frighten the old woman, who declared that had there been anytiing to fear Mr. Brown woula not have gone sway that morning. “That old Missoury is always rampag: ing, sonny,” she said calmy, “But she has never done the Brown’s any harm. An’ what's more she won't; that's my private opinion publicly expressed.” Then the old woman, with candle in hand, went upstairs to bed always retiring with the sun. But Marie saw from the serious ex- pression in her brother's face that per- fl_was net so far distant. She went with him to the lower end of the curve and saw what had so worried him. Yes, the water was trying with all its strength to break its way titough the land and cat off the little premontery point en whieh’ the house TPE ENS EEEEEAR EERE EES vendily acquired what may be called temporary habits. In one case it was trhined to use a certain pair of rays ‘never used naturally. After . twelve ‘lessons the starfish was found to have adopted the habit. It was allowed to right neces ee times in succession kd 3 % uation immediately. Turning to Jack she asked: “Could it possibly break through within a week?” “Within a few hours, mayne,” sald Jack, “You see it is rising very rapid. ly—I never saw anything like it, Just look at the way it is coming—rushing like a whirlwind and beating against the soft clay banks like a rain of can- on balls. If it keeps on rising and ‘bearing Inward toward the house by tomorrow morning we'll wake to find eae cut off from the mainland, This little point will be an island, erumbitag away into the water. I half wish papa and mamma had not gone away.” “Why not you go to the telegraph ‘station and send a wire to papa?” ask- ed Marie, becoming very uneasy over the prospect presented by ner brother. “You forget that the telegraph sta- tion is closed at 6 o'clock,” sald Jack. “And its the same at the other end— where papa and mamma are, It is out of the question to warn papa of what I fear before tomorrow morning.” “Well, all we can do is to hope for the best,” philosophized Marie. “No, sister, we must prepare for the enemy,” declared Jack. “Prepare to fight the Missouri riv- er?" exclaimed Marie 1a wonder. “Exactly” replied Jack. “That is, if fighting the Missouri means to outwit her in rezard to what property is mov- able.” Together the children returnea to the house and Jack explained his plan as they went along. He went to the barn and hitched up the horse to the big wagon, Then ke and Marie besa Icading into it the most valuable thiggs in the house their father's pri vate papers and accounts, the silver- ware, best clothing, fine linens, small personal belongings that were cher- ished by the owners and their -moth- er’s best bedding, “We'll save all that it’s possible to save,” said Jack. “Of course the furni- ture can't be moved.” “Ys, some of it ean,” declared Mar- i, “i? we see there is need of doing so, But to be on the safe side we'll take this big load to a safe place over in the big cornfield and leave it there; zhen come back for more.” It was now about 8 o'clock and Marie called old aunt Jane from her slum- bers. “Come, auntie, you must go and watch our valuables while we attend to other work.” And she shook the old woman till she was fully roused to the matter in hand. “Foolish children” was all she commented, But sne dress. ed and wrapped in a warm shawl, tak. ing care to carry her one best dress, a black silk gown that had been her pride for 15 years, She also took a ‘smiall box containing relics of her dead children and husband, seying as she did so: “I'm afraid to leave these things in the house when I'm going away. But I don't fear that the old Missoury will be the robber. It's them pesky tramps what bother the houses cfhonest folks that I'm afraid of.” And so Aunt Jane ws stationed in the shelter of a straw stack in the Middle of last year’s cornfield to keep watch over the valuables while the children returned to the house for an- other load. Before going on with the work, however, Jack and Marie went to the edze of the bank in front of the house to Icok at the gauge pole. To their horror it had disappeared, and ‘the mad water was leaping, plunging, ‘roaring as it rose higher and higher, climbing the crumbling bank with fea:- ‘ful rapidity and forcing {ts way inland. Great piles of driftwood were now ‘coming down stream, striking with [force against the frail clay banks and jhelping the river with its destruction, Jack and Marie, with fear at their hearts, went to the lower point of the curve, where the real danger lay. The inlet was spreading and deepening and they knew that before tomorrow's sun the water would be close to thefr back door, washing away stables, pens PEFbEEE TASES AOL ERE EEE A indge in Kentucky, by reason of his bad temper, found considerabie OAS ADAOAONOAOADAOAOAO NOM and farm implements. “We'll have to work like an army” satd Jack firmly. “There is not a moment to lose.” _ And so the night wore away, the children working to save what the riv- ‘er was hungry to devour. On, on came the water crowding its way through ‘the weak points at the curve. Before midnight it had broken throueh the Jana a hundred feet tearing down everything in its way, Jack and Marfe trembled as they heard the roar and rushing of coming waters but they never stopped in their work and when day dawned they had all the cattle the horses, the farming implements, most of the furniture and provisions piled about the strawstack in the cornfield. Old Aunt Jane no longer said “foolish youngsters.” She declared in her own language that they were real hero and bercine—a whole army within them- selves, > From the field they could see a rag- ing, leaping sea fast spreading over the point of land where their lovely and comfortable home stood. ands though they knew the house and out- buildings were doomed they felt happy to have saved so much of value. After they ate a breakfast of cold meat, bread and butter, with sweet milk to wash it down, they had saved every dish and kitchen utensil as well as all the focdstuffs Jack saddled a horse and went to the railroad station to send a wire to thelr parents. But wires had gone an hour before, the whole river bottom land having been fiocded and great damage to life and property, calling forth the use of all the telegraph wires and cperations, Thus it was that on the carliest train Mr. and Mrs Browa came home. They had wired to learn of their children’s safety, and when Jack met them at the station with horse and carriage they were dumbfounded to hear of all their little son and daughter had accom- plished during that awful night when they “fought with the flood.” |! “Didn't I say you were the most trustworthy youngsters,” sald Mr. Brown-proudly as he gave Jack a rousing kiss and a slap on the back. “You did all I could have done had I been at home. No one could have saved our house. You saved pretty much everything else—you two treas- ures,” S; “But I shudder to think of what might have happened had Jack and_ Marie gone to bed lasi night and fall- en asleep. This morning they would have awakened to find the house ir water two feet deep and the water ris- ing so rapidly that it would nave been all they could do to save their precious lives,” said Mrs, Brown, “But we were not canght napping— let alone sleeping,” smiled Jack, And they rode rapidly toward their farm Where a straw stack furnished them with shelter till a teut could be pro- cured for temporary use while a new house—half a mile from tae tempest. uous Missouri— should be constauct- ed.
