"What man, my son ?"
THAT man at the table over there,
who orders the servants about in loud
voice, who pushes the dishes away from
him and turns up his nose and says that
he wants something fit to eat"
"He is some ignorant, conceited man
who wishes people TO think he Is some
boly"
81 thought he must be some fine gen.
tleman."
''You are mistaken, my son. No
gentleman acts in that manner. He has
the same fare that is given the other
guests"
"But maybe he has been used to bet
ter living than the other guests.
"No. He lived IN plain hog and

cabin of his parents anl came to tewr

"Then, why does he act in such 8

NASHVILLE, Feb. 1.-THE prospects
are that all the lowlands on the Cum
berland river will be flooded. A large
number of upper Cumberland ferry
boats have broken loose, and are float
ing down the river. AID immense
amount of lumber is floating down the
stream, and large amount of damage
is reported above Nashville. Two hun
dred families have been forced to aban-
don their homes, Lumbermen are pre-
pairing for the worst, and are removing
lumber to higher points. 1t is impss-
sible to estimate the damage. The
drift is exceedingly heavy; logs and
fence-rails are coming down by the
thousands. 1t is thought the rise will
equal that of 1882. By tomorrow morn
I ing the river will be far above the Sig
nal Service danger line. A great deal
of suffering is reported along the river,
Many cattle are being reported drown
ed, and people are compelled to leave
their hOmes in canoes. Tennessee and
Cumberland rivers have been backed
up 100 miles by the rise in the Ohio
river. The damsge by the overflow
will, probably, reach more than 81 ,000,'
600. The worst is not yet.
