ON rHE RAMPAGE.
The Illinois River Breaks LOose-Swoller
ly ucnyy Rims,

Tho Illinois River Breaks Loose-,Swollen
by Heavy Rains.
OTTAWA, Ills, Feb. 1.-THE Illinois
river is on the rampage. Heavy rains
falling upon the area east OF the city on
Monday and Tuesday sent great volumes
OF water Under and over the ice, and
tho ice for distance of ten miles cast
of the city broke into irregular masses,
and was borne westward until it reached
a narrow point three miles above, where
it became gorged. During last night
the ice broke loose above the river
bridges and swept west to Hits Island,
where a second gorge has formed. The
wafer and ice are now thirteen feet
above low water mark, and while the
rise is not rapid it is perceptible. Allen
Park and the lowlands between here
and LaSalle are flooded.

A RACE WAR
1t Steamship Pier in Now York. CAUSE
of the Trouble.

1t steamship Pier In Now Hork-Cnuse
of the Trouble.
New YoRE, Feb. ia race war OF
considerable proportions has been going
on at the Mallory steamship pier during
tho week. Tho white mon who were
employed in loading and unloading the
Mallory steamships rose up in arms
against the increasing number OF negroes
who were employed to do that work.
The fight was not only on the score Of
color. 1t was alleged that the colored
men were working for less wages than
the white men.
The Mallory steamships do big cat
tie business from Galveston, The ne
groes came from Texas on the steam
ships and are said to have been rousta-
bouts from Now Orleans and from along
the Mississippi where they were en-
gagged in handling cotton.
Last week the negroes came in large
numbers and the white men decided
that they would stand it no longer,
They were receiving thirty cents an
hour and said tho colored men worked
for twenty-five cents.

THE NIGHT WIND.

Have you ever heard the wind go "Yoooo0Y Iris pitiful sound to hear. II seems to chill you through and through With strange and speeches. fear. It's the voice of the night that broods outside When folk should be asleep, And many and many's the time I've cried To the darkness that brooded far and wide Over the land and deep: Whom do you want, O lonely night, That you wall the long hours through?' And the night would say in its ghostly way
 " Yooooooooi
 Yoooooooo!
 Yoooooooo. My mother told me long ago tWhen 1 was a little tad That when the night went wailing so, Somebody had been bad; And then, when was snug in bed, Whither had been sent With the blanket drawn up round my head I'd think of what my mother'd said And wonder what boy she meant And Who's been bad to-day:'' I'd ask Of the wind that hoarsely blew, And that ice would.say in its awful way:
 l" Yoooooooo.
 Yooooooool
 Yoooooooo." That this is true l must allow You'll not believe it, though, Yes, though I'm quite a model now, was not always SO And if you doubt what things say, Suppose you take the test; Suppose when you've been bad some day, And up to bed are sent away From mother and the rest Suppose you ask: "Who has been bad?' And then you'll hear what's true; For the wind will moan Tn its ruefulest tone
 q 'Yoooooooo.
 YoooooOoO.
 Yoooooooo."

NEVER TOO LATE.
How the Old Folks Proved the
 Adage True One.

1t was decided at last The home the boys were willing to lift the mort gage-wouldn't pay, they said-and the father and mother would have to end their days apart.
 "Because," said Matilda, the young est. it wouldn't do for any one of us to try to take care of them both together. We've always had to live in the quarrel and jangle ourselves, and to have the example of 1t before our children would be downright sim
 Jane. the older daughter, said noth- ing, but she thought to herself that if her husband were worth as much as Matilda's was she would take both par ents to her home and risk the example they might set for the third generation.
 But ever since Matilda had first lisped her voice had settled family mat ters, and so father was to go with Jane to the city and mother to move over to the great red-brick farmhouse which was Matilda's home.
 "Mother will be right handy about the work" Matilda said to her hus band,
  object. And there isn't better hand in the country with children. We won't lose anything"
 So the September morning came when the couple who had never parted in fifty years bade each other fare we'll, much as mere acquaintances would have done.
 Father, dressed in his best clothes, muttered 'Good-by" in defiant sort of way and hobbled out to the spring wagon, while Jane paused to kiss the little old woman who sat looking out of the window in an indifferent way.
 ''Good-by, mother. I hope you will be happy with Mat Won't you come to the door and see father off?'
 "Oh--I dunno as it's wuth while," re- turned the old lady, and then Jane, too, was gone.
 When sine was sure the spring wagon was out of sight Mrs. Paine put on her gingham bonnet and walked over to the cemetery just up the hill.
 The graves where she paused were not we'll tended-no engraved stones marked their places and the grass was cut dWdN OulN CuouSh to OutiiHS thC mounds. Two were small, those of in- fants: one was that of mans size, and they were all her children, two daugh- ters and one son. The son was her old est child and he would have been forty-eight or forty-nine years old now. He had died while studying for the ministry. She had seven children liv- ing, but in her times of trouble and sorest trial she had always wandered over to this sacred spot ever since it was first made thirty years ago.
 To-day she sat down in the sun-dried grass and cried for some time.
 s'He might a-said something more," she sobbed to herself. And then she heard Matilda calling and hurried back to the house.
 The months passed slowly. At Christ mas time there was some talk of re- union, but the talk did not materiaiize. Letters came from Jane saying fa- ther was tolerably contented, but missed his loafing place at ''The Corners" He sent his regards to mother. Jane always added that of her own accord, for father never sent any word to any

We shape our own fate quite as much as fate shapes us.
 Pretense may not be of long con- tinuance but it goes while it lasts.
 Avarice is so close that he who has it denies its possession.
 Prudence is the muzzle for zeal.
 A woman may be no more vain than a man is, but she will do more for van- ity's sake than man will.
 A woman who can love once can love twice.
 As soon as two people begin to think alike they disagree.
