Needs Of the Flood Sufferers.
P1rTsBURG, PA, Aug 20-A special
from Parkersburg, W. Va, says: "The
victims of the recent disastrous flood on
Tucker, Tygart, State, Little Sandy and
other creek valleys are many of them in
sad need Of help. They are house
less and homeless. and but for the
charity of their once poor neighbors the
hill farmers, their suffering would be ter
rible. AS it is, the drain upon the resources
Of the farming communities which escaped
the foods is too great to be long withstood.
Towns and villages are doing all in their
power to relieve them, but their assistance
is entirely inadequate.
WINTER COMING ON.
"WhiIe the deprivation and suffering is
great at this time it will probably be
greater within a few weeks, when the
weather gets colder. There are miles of
desolate territory, with scarcely house
left standing and not vestige OF crops.
The homeless women and children are shell
tered among the hill farmers, while the
men are searching for work over the desc
late country. Taken altogether, the out
look for these poor people during the coming
winter is gloomy one"

Mutual Admiration Ends in an Elopes
ment to Europe.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-The wife Of million
aire mike" Mcdonald, noted ex-gambler
and politician, is missing. Mrs. McDon-
aid disappeared from her home, at the COR
ner of Ashland boulevard and Harrison
street, week ago last Friday and, though a
small army Of detectives have been retained
to discover her whereabouts, they have sue
ceeded only in obtaining her diamonds,
pawned or sold somewhere in the east. IL
is supposed that Mrs. Mcdonald is now in
Europe. 1t Is being reported this evening
that she had as companion a Catholic
priest who, it is said, has since been un-
frocked by the church. The priest is sup
posed to have had a parish at South Chicago
or some suburb in that locality.
HOW THEY MET
The story is that Mrs. McD0 D0nald became
acquainted with the priest while he was on
visit to st. Jaralath's parish, of which
she was a member. He became infatuated
with her; the admiration was recprocated,
and the elopement was planned aud exc
cuted. Hugh Mullaney, McDonald's clach-
man. took Mrs Mcdonald from her house
in a carriage last Friday but said nothing
of it until a week had elapsed, when he
told Mike Mcdonald, adding that he had
promised to keep the matter secret for @
week.

IN TRAINING.
There are some false notions about training.
Many people think It is serious process into
which . man 10 converted in Q mass Of bone
and muscle and is obliged to live q life of self
denial under mechanical and very severe rules
II used to be so in the old days, but things
have changed q good deal in this respect.
A mans mind and temper should be kept
good-natured while training. and there is the
chief value of trainers. 1t is very hard for any
strong man to be happy and healthy when he
leads humdrum sober life all by himself. Ex-
srcise and training become monotonous and
stupid in no time under such circumstances
He needs clever, entertaining trainers and
agreeable companions. Pleasant conversation,
chatting. satire, ridicule, and healthy laughter
are good aids in training as well as at dinner
A pugilist IN training spars far better and
wrestles far better when he has an audience of
friends he likes well than when he is alone.
There seems to be prevailing outcry by the
press against sociability on the part Of men,
bers OF the ring which is opposed to these
ideas. Its only value is against that sociability
which involves dissipation and wasted energy
In all other respects it is the opposite Of the
truth. JOHN L. SULLIVAN.

Poised daintily, with that light fearless hold.
Unconscious to itself Of grace and power;

Prepare to dive into the laughing gold,

For this was In far lands, where life is king
In fair and softest FORMS where hearts may sing
peean to the God of Nature old,
Unfettered: beautiful and pure, Obi maid.

Thy soul doth drink from fountains that do f,nd

I had a hearty appetite then and liked all
sorts Of foods, especially those that are plain
and Substantial. had no rule, but ate and
drank just as I felt like it. ! ran O good deal
toward meats and vegetables and very little
toward fancy dishes.
About this time began to exercise regularly
with a view to better myself in sparring and
general condition: 1 did not know much
about such things in those days. but took points
of those Of my friends that had had more or
less experience. Luckily for me, they were
pretty well posted and their advice did me
good. In my exercising went for light work
and let heavy work alone. Once or twice
was advised to try lifting machines and heavy
weights, but never did. II had done 30 Il
might have ruined me. If you examine
people who do heavy lifting You will find that
the muscles, though very large and often very
hard, move very slowly and generally are un-
even. They are what sporting men call
.'knotted." Besides that, and this is far more
important, the heart and lungs are almost
always weakened by these "health-lifters."
HEART AND LUNGS.
With man who boxes or rows, the heart
beats faster and the blood moves swifter when
he is at work than when he il resting, The
lungs sympathize and he breathes quicker and
deeper. When such . man begins the season,
he gets red III the face very rapidly, then grows
.'winded," and is finally 80 weak as 10 be ex-
hausted- As he keeps on day after day the
heart and lungs become stronger, and, after
good while. work just - we'll as his muscles.

TIE RIGHT KIND OF ExKRcIsE.
There have been great athletes Who nevsr
