NOT EASILY DISCOURAGED.
The Smart Boy Was Bound to Get tn,
Old Time Cat Out the Well.

At one of the uptown grammar
schools mathematical prodigy turned
up the other day to the surprise and
establishment of the peripatetic prob
lem proposer, who for once was trip
ped up by an unsophisticated yout h.
The gentleman in question called at
the school and asked permission to in
terrogate the brightest boy in arithme-
tic, and upon John being called to the
recitation bench with a huge double
slate and a brand-new soapstone pen
Gil ready for the fray. the visitor
launched the following naughty prob
lem for the solution, which has done
service so long:
There is well one hundred feet
deep, into which a cat has fallen. and
every time the cat climbs up two feet
it falls back four feet; how long will it
take before the animal is rescued from
the well? Doyou think you can solve
this problem, John?" asked the inter
locutor, with wonderfully wise look.
''Oh, yes, sir. | can figure that cat
out of that well sure
So right to work he went. and in
few minutes had all sides of his slate
covered with figures. A second slate
was furnished, and that was soon
filled up with 7>mpTv2 tion. With
sarcastic look, Inc visitor said:
John, you might as well give up
this contest, for the solution is abso-
lutely impossible"
'Oh, no, SIR" exclaimed the smart
boy. IF | can get another slate I'll
just figure that cat out of the well by
way of China. "-Philladelphia Press.

THE FEAST OF EGGS.
A CUSTOM AS OLD AS CHRIS
TIANITY.
Inaugurated by a Noble Countess While
In Exile-The Egg Has Since Been
the Symbol of Restored Bappi-


Many hundred years ago there lived
n good and noble woman whose name
was Frau Rosalinda Won Lindc nburg.
In those days n crnel war was laying
waste the land. and she had to fly from
her home in the dead of night, with
her two children At first she knew
not where to go, but her old serving
man begged her to go with him to his
own people, who lived in little min
ing village away, hidden in the Harz
mountains. So the noble countess
put herself in his care and his broth
ers and sisters were very kind to the
poor wanderers, took them in and
gave them the best they had.
But the best they had was very poor,
and, at first, the dainty-reared woman
and children came near starving.
There was no meat, no fish, and not
even an egg; and this last for the good
reason that there was not fowl in the
settlement. These domestic fowls that
seem so common to us. and that we
see everywhere, at first came from the
far east, and had at that time only
been seen in large cities and towns.
And these mountain folks had never
even heard of such strange birds"
SO the countess decided to repay
their kindness. She secretly sent her
old servant down to their old home
There he found the castle almost
wholly destroyed, but was lucky

GREAT RESERVOIR BURSTS.
A SMALL HAMLET IN IDAHO
SWEPT AWAY.
PEOPLE FLEE FOR THEIR LIVES.
FIFTY Houses at Least Are Ruined and
Many Families Are without shelter
and Bedding-The Disaster Caused
by the Rapidly Melting Snow,
Which Is the Heaviest
Fall Ever Known

Boise, Idaho, March 16.-News was
received in this city last even
ing that Indian creek reservoir had
broken its rocky barriers, and was
sweeping down upon ranches and viii
lagos, carrying destruction and ruin
in its path.
The country between Bysuka and
Caldwell is all under water. Every
railroad bridge between Nampa and
Bysuka is washed out and many miles
of railroad track submerged, which
will prevent trains from running over
the Union Pacific short line for many
days. The dam broke about noon and
messengers were sent at breakneck
speed on horseback to warn settlers
and urge families to hasten to places
of safety. mighty wall OF water
came sweeping down Indian creek
bearing on its bosom houses, sheep
calves. barns, farming utensils and
submerging whole farms. Citizens of
Nampa, little town on the Short
line, saw the approach of the devas-
tatlng waters and fled to high ground.
Soon all the lower part of the town.
including the railroad tracks, was
under water from five to twenty feet
deep. Fifty houses at least are
ruined and many families are without
shelter and bedding.
Merchants are loaning blankets to
destitute families and provisions are
being furnished to those in need 1t
is reported here that two men were
drowned, one while attempting to
save his property and another who
rushed to his assistance. The cause
of the disaster was warm weather,
coupled with heavy rains, which
caused rapid melting of snow in the
mountains. Snake rose eight feet to-
day, fact unparalleled as far as the
memory of the oldest inha bitant runs.

A. w. Little of Kansas City, Kan, was
arraigned yesterday afternoon for the
murder of b. E. johnson, but refused
to plead to the information because a

put on the jury, the defendant being
native of Kentucky.

The Private Water suppley of Congress.

six years the mean temperature of

Germany have also been growing cold.
The change seems to have been in
