Out in the South Side young man
was suffering for swollen Jaw. His
landlady had applied various rene
dies without much success, and
finally she said: II think you will
have to get couple OF leeChes"
"Where can | get them"
"At drug store"
"Will two be enOugh?"
"YeS, and YOU want both of them
at once In three or four hours that
swelling will go down"
The young man went to the near
est drug store and there purchased
two leeches. He returned to his
room, studied the fat, blackish look
ing things with some distrust, and
then boldly washed them down with
big glass of water. In few min
utes the landlady came around.
Where are the leeches?" she
asked.
Il took them"
"TOok them? Swallowed them"
why yes; what's the natter"

HOMELESS BY THE FLOOD.
Three Hundred Families at Denver
Forced to Abandon Their
Dwellings.

Denver Col, June Platte River CON
tinued to rise until ) a. m. to-day, and a
raging torrent is pouring through this city
to-day. Cofax and Jerome Park were
flooded at II o'clock last night, and the
people living on the low ground had to
flee for their lives The railway embank-
ment was washed away in places and
bridges We're badly damaged. The loss
will not be very great, but the inconven-
fence will be extreme. In Jerome Park
and vicinity 10 families were driven out
Of their houses and are camped on higher
ground, and as many more families liv-
ing on the river bottoms in this city also
fled To higher ground. In all 800 families
are homeless. Edward Whitman, a boy.
fell into the torrent and was drowned.
No other fatalities have been reported. Ii
will be several days before trains can be
run on schedule time on any Of the roads
entering Denver The Denver 4 Rio
Grande Railroad is running trains only to
Colorado Springs owing TO 4 bad wash
out just below there. The Missouri Pa
Citic and Rock Island trains. which use
the Rio Grande tracks. are consequently
cut off. The Santa Fe is in worse pre-
diCament. its tracks being washed away
in many places in the Arkansas Valley.
1t is sending trains on the Rio Grande via
Trinidad
The damage to the mountain roads by
the floods is the heaviest experienced in
this state. An experienced railroad man
ager estimates yesterdays loss to the rail
roads at S25.ooo. He figures that the loss
on business reaches $1,000 day and
$4,000 will cover other expenses To the
roads The South Park branch of the
Union Pacific is under water from Wheat
a tn iSta of
miles.
Forty families who sought shelter in
the school house at Jerome Park when
the deluge descended upon that suburb
last night are surrounded by water. They
are not thought to be in imminent danger.
Over 100 persons rendered homeless by
the floods have applied to the county com

started from Liverpool to America it
was expected the voyage would take
twenty days. Instead of that it took
six months and when the Lydgatc final

packed their kits, clambcred over the
rails Of the vessel and SwOre never to set
foot on her again.
