NIAGARA WENT DRY.
Congressman Lockwood of Buffalo Re,
members the Time.

Congressman Lockwood Of Buffalo
says that within his recollection the
great waterfall at Niagara was suspend
ed, and that many people walked over
It's rocky places unshod. The New
York Evangelist, in an interesting &C
count OF this miracle says it was
wrought in 1913, during the month OF
March. To be exact 1t was on the morn
ing of March %, 1S4s; and for several
hours the wonderful torrent did cease
TO flow, and the river ran dry The pre-
ceding winter had been severe one.
and the Ice which had formed in Lake
Erie was OF phenomenal thickness.
There came on Mar~h q a sudden and
exceedingly warm spell Of weather,
which melted the SHOWS. and then A
warm rain poured down in torrents
during the entire day of the 18th of
March. The ice was loosened and a
strong east wind drove it far out on
the lake during the night But at sun
rise on the goth the wind came from the
west. and, as the sailors say, il was
blowing great guns" This terrific gale
drove the immense mass of ice into the
mouth OF the Niagara river where It
was gorgsd and piled up from shore II
sHoTe' neFmetlcaIIy sealing the river and
damming the waters back into the lake.
Thus it happened that Niagara river
ran dry, its falls became bleak. barren
rocks, and Its mighty thunders were
put to sleep. Within four or five hours
tiny streams of water began to trickle
through the gorge. The tremendous
power back Of these streams accelerated
their flowing, and in a short time the
lee dam gave way, and there never was
such wild, roaring, mad flood in Mia
CARA before or since; and thus the
cataract became itself again.

Jealous of a Stage Love

Too much zeal in the DISCHARGE Of his
stage duties has lead a jeune premier
al Paris preparatory theater into a
disagreeable, not to say, painful adven-
ture, says London Telegraph. The
young actor was acting with a lady Of
his own age in new piece and had
TO make a declaration of love. He held
the mirror up to nature so well in the
matter that the young ladys intended
husband, who was looking on from the
stalls. flew into towering passion and
thirsted for blood. When the pc form
ance was over the man possessed by
the green-eyed monster waited at the
stage door for the jeune premier and
whacked vigorously at the actors face
with his cane. The player-bruised
bleeding and tearful-did not make any
effort to return blow for blow. but.
holding up a manuscript which CON
tained his part in the play. remarked
to his aggressor that he had done no
more than follow the instructions of the
author Of the little love comedy in viii,
he had acted with the beautiful youu
lady. The affair ended there

The Boatie Rows of John Even:
20 weel may the boatie row,

And Weel may the boatie row

The entire song, as our national poet
puts it, is a charming display of wom-
anly affections mingled with the con
Germs and occupations Of daily life, says
the Scottish Review. Unfortunately, a
somewhat curious commentary Oh its
prevailing sentiment is afforded by Ger

John himself certainly began life as a
packman, for Zimmerman, in his "Aber-
deem Worthless" states that many citi-
zens remembered him going about the
country selling buckles. sleeve buttons,
penkniveS, ETC.
By the year 1850, the worthy packman

hardware merchant, bettered himself
considerably by marriage, and died in
1871, possessed of something like 5000
pounds. The obituary writer in the
Scots Magazine oOmmends him for his
eXeruOnS in favor of charitable institu-
tons" and tells us that every individ-
ual case Of distress that came under
his notice received Jealous and unremit-
ting attention" And yet this was the
man who willed his fortune past an
only child, daughter, because she had
not married exactly as he desired. The
magistrates and clergy were to get
everything for the founding of a hos
pital and the education and mainten-
ance of poor boys. The bequest was, Of
course, challenged by the daughter, and
after protracted litigation. in the course
OF which Even appeared in anything
but an enviable light, it was finally set
aside by the house Of lords on the clear
legal ground that the deed was void in

were to begin building the hospital. and
as to the number Of boys TO be educated

Florida Girl Denies Men Even the
Privilege of Burying Her.
Woman's rights in Florida are not
believed by the average northerner to
flourish, says the New York World
The sunny south is supposed to pro-
duce tender, cl!nging women, who like
the oak and vine figure and position.
But Miss Bertha Rose, who recently
died at Clerulont Fla, carried her idea
of independence further than any other
suffragist on record. Miss Rose was
the organizer of womans club. The
chief doctrine Of the organization was
that no member should ever ask any
man to do for her what she might do
for herself Not long since the founder
OF the club fell III and it soon became
apparent that she could not recover.
Tlereupon the ardent "woman's-right-
sr," faithful to her principles even In
death. sent for the members of her
club and told them how 1t would crafty

to the letter. The young women prom

when she died they performed oil the
services usually attended to by an

women acted as pallbearers. The
simple services at the church were
conducted by leaders of the club.
and at Oaklawn cemetery womens
hands lowered the coffin to its last
resting place. Then the grave was
filed with earth by the young women
and Miss Roses dying wish was full
filled. The ouly man who had anything
to do with the funeral was the driver
of the hearse.

A Classic Performance in the Old The

alter at Orange.
OF scenery, in the ordinary sense of
the word, there was none at all. What
we saw was the real thing. In the
opening scene of "OEdipus," the King
coming forward through the royal
portal, and across the raised platform
In the rear of the stage-did literally
ENTER from the palace" and did de
scend the palace steps to the public
place" where Creon and the priests
awaited him. Il was a direct reversal
Of the ordinary effect in the ordinary
theater, where the play loses in real
ism because a current Of necessarily
appreciated. but purposely rejected, an
tagonistic fact underruns the conven-
tional Illusion and conpsls US TO per-
ceive that the palace is but painted
canvas, and, even on the largest stage,
only four or Ave times as high as the
prince. The palace at Orange-tower-
ing up az though II would touch the
heavens, and obviously Of vsrita BILE
stone-was a most teremptory reality,
The foftuitous accessory of the trees
growing close beside the stage added to
the outdoor effect still another very
vivid touch Of realism; and this was
heightened by the swaying of the
branches, and by the gracious motion
Of the drsperas, under the ftfVl pres

deed, the rntstral took very telling
part in the performance. Players IS

tary pause, while he raised his hand
slowly, and slowly freed his face from
this chance covering, made a dramatic
break in his discourse, and added to II
a naturalness which wildly intensified
it's solemn import. In like manner the
final entry Of OEpidus, coming from tho
palace after binding himself, was made
thrillingly real. For a moment, as he
came upon the stage, the horror which
he had wrought upon himself-his
CHASTITY eye-sockets, his b1ood-stained
face-was visible; and then a gust of
wind lifted his mantle and flung It
about his head so that all was con-
cealed; and an exquisite pity for him
was aroused-while he staggered pain
fully to rid himself of the encumbrance
by the imposition of this petty annoy
ance upon his mortal agony Of body
and of soul-"The Coincide Franchise
