OF the cities has outrun the general growth
700 per cent. II ID In these cities that We 6nd
the most squAlid poverty, the most abject

not pass tho Reagan bill, and therefore Mr..
Reagan should have yielded. Tho senate II

these are the men who Colonel Hepburn

The Breaks In the LeVees OF the Lowot
Mississippi and The Immense Volume Of
Water Resulting In Q General Inupdstlon,
With Worse Consequences Feared.
VIcKsBURG, Miss, April 29.-General
W. L. Mcmillan arrived from East Car.
roll Parish Dy steamer last evening, and
reports the Elton levee safe and not con.
sidered dangerous. The Salem levee In
the lower portion OF the parish, Is safe up
20 this writing, and is not considered In
immediate danger.
Major Belknap, superintendent OF the
Vicksburg, Shreveport & Pacific division
of the Queen & Crescent railway, received
telegram yesterday from Colonel Buck
nor, at Lake Providence, asking that the
railroad assist in putting up the proteo-
ton levee at Salem. The main line Is
threatened by rapid caving. 1t was re-
ported last night that the levee at Caro-
lima Landing, Washington County, was in
dangerous condition.
The break in the levcc at Austin, Miss
was about $50 feet wide at ncou yester'
| day, and large volume OF water was go'
| ing through with great velocity. At p.
m. it only lacked two feet of covering
the track of the Louisville, New Orleans
G. Texas railway. Roadmastcr Hutchins,
who is at the break, telegraphed TO the
office here last night that they could pre-
pare for a general inundatiOn in that sec.
ton, there being no hope of closing the
break. They were only trying to prevent
its widening.
Captain Sears, United States Engineer,
arrived at p. m. and stated that no leVet
south of Greenville, on either side Is con.
sidered dangerous. 1t is feared now
great portion of the Yazoo delta will be
overlooked.
The immense leyee at Husshpuckua, IL
Bolivar County, is in very dangerous
condition. If that goes, it will food thi
lands in Washington, Sunhower and
Issanquena counties. The situation Is
very critical, and It is now feared the

True, wasA bashful Ounce,
When l first1oved madly-once.
Once loved. The maid was fair
Face like milk and roses mingled,
Sapphire eyes and golden hair,
Graciousl how turned and tingledi
OnceN loved. To be precise,
ThatOccasion made it-twice.
Once loved A woman this
Large, majestic, wild. and mournful,
Filling me with timOrous bliss,
Chilling me with GOODNESS scornfuL
Once loved. 1t we're vice
To conceal that II was-thrice.
Once loved. Nay, be not wrothl
Hang your once, some Goth or Hun

Well, good sir or miss, or both,
I'll confess to scores of Onces,
Maidens of all creeds and climos
loved once-a many times.
Once loved. But why proceed?
Constant time and use will soften
Smarting wounds that used to bleed.
Once loved. A deal too often;
But, believe me, though Ounce,
Never more than one-at once.
