this morning at what is known as the Cat OF,

miles below Hannibal. At noon the crevasse

size. There are several other very dangerous
places in the embankment which will doubt

seems impossible to prevent the food

Slight idea OF the damage may be gained
from the fact that an extent Of country forty

probably the richest farming land in the State,

The Horse and His Rider.

In the history of Rome, says Cook, it
is related that in 1911 B. G., q great
chasm opened in the middle of the
forum, which it was found impossible to
fill. The soothsayers said it would close
when it contained what Rome possessed
of most value, and then the state would
be perpetual. A noble youth named M.
Curtius, demanded if Rome had any
thing of more value than arms and valor.

fisoned, and amid the silence of the
people, spurred him over the brink of

The Greenhouse.

In the arrangement of plants in the
greenhouse, continual change is COM
mendable. Every few weeks the plants
may be reset, and the houses made to
appear quite different. In the end where
tho lowest plants once were set, now the
taller ones may be placed; here convex
group, and there presenting co" cave
appearance. Dropping plants on eva
ted shelves, and hanging baskets from
the roof, make little paradises Of variety
in what were once unbearable monotony.
Gardeners often wish to know the secret
of maintaining continued interest, on
the part Of their employees, in their hand
iwork, and this is one of the most potent
change and variety in the
appearance of everything. Beautiful
flowers, graceful forms, elegant combine
tons, all developing themselves with q
healthy luxuriousness and ever-changing
endlessness, will wake up an interest in
the most Indifferent breast. ~.,-. .

Mothers as Doctors.

Practical mothers learn much by
their experience with the little bodies
entrusted to their care. Some of the
common sense facts in the physical cul.
ture of these little ones known to the
more experienced mothers may not
come amiss to those who have had but
little care of children. The foundation
must be we'll laid to insure healthy an
happy children. The child must be
well slept, well aired, we'll fed and well
bathed. By thorough understanding
and practice of these four simple rules,
much of the physical, mental and moral
suffering in life would be avoided by
parent as we'll as child. If a healthy
child land a delicate one proportionately)
is regularly put to bed about dark,
in quiet, we'll ventilated, or even cold,
room, after a supper of plain food, it
will naturally awake at daybreak, good
natured, with a keen appetite for a
wholesome breakfast. Nutritious, plain
food, at regular hours, with no candy or
stimulants, and free bathing, help the
system to ward off many prevalent
children's ailments, and to bear with
much less danger the few that must
necessarily come to the majority of
little ones. The child that is just given
a little confectionery, or any unsuitable
food, then rocked to sleep should cause
no surprise at waking peevish and fever
ish. It is simply the result of imaginary
affection and want Of knowledge on the
part of the one in charge. 1t will GER
tainly pay in the end to search diligently
for the cause when little child is pro
verbally cross.

One Of Lincoln,s ssLlttle Storles.1

In &cribner,s Magazine Mr.. Noah Brooks
prints number of new anecdotes of
Lincoln, elected by his Lincoln reminis-
cences in former numbers. The follow
ing is one Of them:
"a young gentleman in Tennessee was
once travelling country road, mounted
on fine black racing horse of great val
Tie. His casual companion was shrewd
old fellow, who was known in those
parts as q Yankee, and rode rack-o'-
bones of a horse, apparently hardly able
to stand on his feet. The Yankee BAN
tered the southerner for horse trade,
which of course the sOutherner declined.
The Yankee, however, insisted that his
was very remarkable horse, of what
was known as the setter breed, which
sets for big game as dog sets for small
game, and that as animals of this breed
are very scarce, his horse was according
ly valuable. The Yankee soon had an
opportunity to demonstrate the truth of
his statement, as his horse had the pecu-
liarity of dropping on all-fours when
touched in a certain spot by the spur or
heel of the rider. The Yankee seeing a
deer on a knoll not far away, touched
his raw bones in the tender spot, and.

assuring the southerner that there was
game ahead. The would-be.horse-trader
told the southerner that there must be
game near by, for his horse never set in
that way except when on the scent of
game. Immediately after, the deer made
its appearance to the southerner, who
succeeded in bringing him down, and so
much pleased was he with the wonder
full instinct of the horse that he immedi.
ately snapped with the Yankee, on even
terms. Soon after they came to stream
which the Yankee, mounted on the
southerner's fine horse, crossed in good
style; then standing on the opposite
bank he looked back after his companion.
The setter horse had sunk, his head be-
ing hardly above water; his rider was
dismounted and nearly drowned. Reach
ing the bank and blowing the water from
his mouth, he exclaimed: Here, you

"And how many COWS have you"

The gentleman made some remarks
about the early spring, close of the east

then asked:
"Say, Thomas, how much milk per day
do your COWS average?"
Seven quarts, sir"
"Ad-um," said the gentleman, as he

scratched his head, and at once grew pale

began to figure on the wagon cover.

SMILE AND BE COMMENTED.

The world grows old. and men grow cold
To each while seeking treasure;
And what with want, and care and toll,
Wo scarce have time for pleasure;
But never mind, that Is a loss
Not much to be lamented;
Life rolls on gaily if we will
But smile and be contented.
IT we be poor. and would be rich,
1t will not be by pining:
10 steady hearts and hopeful hands
Arc LIES bright silver lining.
There's ne'er a man that dared to hope,
Hath Of his choice repented;
The happiest souls on earth are those
Who smile and are contented.
When grief doth come to rack the heart,
And fortune bids us sorrow,
From hope we may a blessing reap
And consolation borrow.
If tllorns will rise where roses bloom,
1t cannot be prevented;
So make the best Of life you can.
And smile and he contente.l.

MOTHER WATCH THE LITTLE FEET

Mother! watch the little feet,
Climbing DER the garden wall.
Bounding through the busy street,
Ranging cellar. shed and hall;
Never count the moments lost.
Never mind the time 1t cost;
Little feet will 60 astray
Guide them, mother Will you may.
Mother! watch the little hand,
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses In the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay
Ne'-se dare the question ask,
W.T. to me this weary task p
These same little hands may prove,
Messengers Of light and love,
Mother! Watch the little tongue.
.Prattling eloquent and wild,
What Is said and what Is sung.
By the happy. joyous child,
Catch the word while yet unspoken,
Stop the VOW before it's broken:
The same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings In q Savior's name.
Mother! watch the little heart,
Beating soft and warm for you;
Wholesome lessons now impart;
Keep, o keep that young heart true,
Extricating every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed.
Harvest rich you then may see.
Rlpening for eternity.

he walked into the Health Ohco ana
sud he wanted a burial permit. Asked
for the physicians certificate, he said he
didn't have any but it was all right
she was dead.
The jauntiness and cheerfulness of
the applicant striking the clerk as some
what peculiar in connection with the
solemnity Of the errand, he questioned
further and asked the name of the
deceased.
"Her name? Oh! Why it's Dorothy
Ann Bugsby-my wife, you know. Yes"
continued Mr.. Bugsby, with unabated
cheerfulness, "she's gone at last, and it
makes me feel awful bad when l think
of it; seems as if I'd lost a friend.
Why, l hain't felt so since I lost my dog
last summer-shot, you know, by the
police-but, as Mrs. Bugsby always said,
I amt easy knocked over, and conse-
quence after I'd buried him-the dog,
you know-and shed a tear or two, l
braced right up again. No use givin' up,
you know, and so when get the old
woman buried, shall go right along as
though nothing had happened. It's
kind o'sorrowful to think of, though,
and I wish the job was over. But she
shall have good send-of, if I have to
go without spring suit to do it-that's
the kind of a hairpin I am; nothing
mean about me. You ought to see the
coffin; nice black one, with silver-plated
handles and plate with her full name
and address on it mean her age; and
the nails! it's full Of them. Bossed the
Job myself; told the carpenter wanted
it right, regardless Of expense-within
limits, you know, within limits. Ahw
reflected the widower, with something
like sigh, "she was q remarkable
woman. one in ten thousand. So Observ.
ing; took so much interest in my welfare
always had something to say when
came home-specially when came late
at night. Seems as though can hear
her now, as used to when was COM
ing in quietly SOS not to disturb anybody.
But it never was any use, don't remem-
Der now Of ever getting in once-speci-
ally late at night-that she didn't hear
me. Some women would been su!ky
like, then, and never said nothing. But
that wasn't her. Here you are, drunk
again, you old beastv she'd say. Very
outspoken was Dorothy, and must say
she was purity clear headed and generally
got things about right. She'd a remark
able keen sense of humor, too, had
Dorothy, and 1 remember 1 nearly
laughed myself to death one night at
something she said when come in. !
disremember just what it was, but I
know she got awful mad at my laughin,
and said l was long, gangling old fool
an, little lengthy in the legs, you
know. But never minded her; knew
she meant we'll, though she was little
queer sometimes in her way of carry1n'
out her meanin'. Dear! dear! we'll, it
can't be helped; but wouldn't have
had it happen for $25."
"No?" said the clerk, much affected.
"Fact. Well, if you won't give the
permit without certificate, I guess I'll
mosey round and get one, for she won't
keep much longer. I don't see any use
in it, though, for she's dead as herrin.'
And wiping the perspiration from his
brow and remarking that it was warm
to-day but looked like rain, he departed
to procure the necessary certificate.
