A Mothers Sad Story,

y dispatch from join stown. the
scene Of the greatest damage from the
flood in western Pennsy lvania gives
the following pathetic story:
n pretty pale, little woman told a
part of her sad story as she nervously
claspt ard unclasped her hands and
erred in Il quiet hpartbreaking way.
ears ago in Virginia valley some
where near Winchester, this sad little
soul met hardworking intelligent
engineer named Fem. They were
married few years ago, moved to
Johnstown, where they ha1 neat
and cOmfO' table home. Fem made
wages, their seven children were al
ways well clad, ard their mother lived
with her life concentrated upon them
On the afternoon Of the flood, Fem
went to butcher and passed out of
this short history in the waters.
When the flood cam into the house
the mother gathered her chicks in the
pail Or and told them not TO he afraid,
as God was present and would guard
them. Up came the torrent and they
went to the second floor, aud again
the mother talked of hope and babe
them to be of good chez, for papa,
Heaven rest him would come soon in
boat and take them away. Up, up,
ami up rose the water and now the
family was forced to the top story.
The rooms were very low and soon
the heads of the mother and children
were beating against the ceiling.
Mamma, said the eldest child,
girl, "wOuld it not be better 70 60 out,
side and die in the open air!"
Yes, DEAR" said the mother, "we'll
make raft and all go down together"
So she fought her own way and her
children's way to the window and
opened it. She caught piece of plank
and on it put the eldest child, with a
! haSty kiss and "God bless vou."
Then she let it float away into the
| darkness and the roar of the waves.
Six times were these frail barks
freighted with precious cargoes and
argosies of pious trust. The children
were frightened but obedience was a
part of their creed and they made but
little protest. Now came the turn of
of the last child. Bessie, the 4-year old
one can fancy what it ment. The last
and dearest. There was scare breath
ing space in the roomnow and if haste
was not used, death would come their
at once. To broad plank Bessie was
fastened securely, and blessed as had
been the others.
II love them all, O / love them ALL"
said the mother, but had two kisses
for Bessie for she was Toms favorite.
and was such good child. She put
her arms about my neck and said:
You know you said God would take
care of me always, mamma, will he
take care of me now7'
told her he would, and she need
not fear. and then she was carried
away.
I'm not afraid namma,' she called
out, and l heard her although l could
not see her-and that's all except that
the roof was torn off and tieated off
on 1t, ard some Italians saved me at
Kernville, IS miles from here"
And the children, Mrs. Fem? hone
they all escaped"
1--WE have found two of them dead.
Bessie and George, and there is not
a mark on Bsssie's face. and oh, I am
80 tired. They are all gone, every
one, eight of them. and am going
home to Virginia after allthese years
to rest and try to think"

1t is fact that the American navy ex-
lists now chiefly OH paper. 1t will take
at least two years steady work to COM
plete the vessels under way or ordered.
Until then the United States can make
no showing for navy. This fact is de-
plored by many Americans, who have
already forgotten apparently what was
done on the breaking out of the war. If
a war should again arise, tho whole re-
sources Of the country would be applied
to the construction of a navy. In few
weeks war vessels would be fitted out
which would answer all purposes. The
nations would see what we could do in a
real emergency.

A company has really been formed
end is at work to utilize some of the
waterfall at Niagara for the production
Of electricity. Some of the rock behind the
falls will be excavated. From these ex-
cavations pipes will be thrust into the
fall, and will draw off water which will
turn the driving wheels for dynamo ma
chimes, Thus electricity can be gcner-
ated in such quantities that it is believed
it can be conveyed long distances and
utilized as motive power for machinery.

Century is taking timo by very long

ucuIar signs Of the coming Of the great
