FREAKS OF THE MISSOURI.
Farmers Who Find Their Fields Have
Disappeared Oyer Night

OF course, you've heard of the curious
freaks Of the Missouri river-the ''Big
Muddy:' how the sudden, treacherous
mountain waters roll down in mighty
floods from Montana and Wyoming.
Ilchochet from side to side of the broad
valley they have eaten deep into the
1T prairieS and pour headlOng into the
Mississippi near St. Louis; how night
and day, winter and summer, the twist
ing current shifts it channel, cuts its
banks, undermines railroads. astoniShes
the muskrats, keeps the fish studying
guide-posts, worries the bridge guards,
and sets the farm rs crazy. For, just
think of it, the Nebraska farmer VIII 0se
land stretches along the river goes to
bed thinking he will cut his broad acres
of golden wheat in the morning. But
10 in the night that madcap river has
entered his waving fields, and like sn W
they have melted away. Grain, fences.
trees, buildings, land-are gOne And a
great, sudden yellow flood boils and ed
dies where his harvest smiled yesterday.
Next week, very likely, the reckless
stream will make his neighbor across
the river present of a hundred or m0r4
acres, just because he doesn't need them.
OF course, it was natural for a man who
lost his land that way to look longingly
across the river, and think, after while,
that the newly made land over there be-
longed to him; and many a wearisome
law suit has been begun to recover title
to the newly ''made" land, which lies,
maybe, exactly where the lost farm lay,
but on the other side of the river. Per.
haps there is some equity in such a
claim; but the trouble is, that sort of
thing is gong on all the time, and the
courts said they could not keep track of
such pranks; that lands acquired by &C
cretIOn-mark that word-should belong
to the farmer who owned the bank
where they were thrown up; that if the
river cook your farm, you would have to
fish it out If the stream you lost it in, at
least, you needn't ask the courts
to give you another for it.-St. Nicholas

THE PROGRESS or TkMrE6A"tE.

Local option, the dispensary and va
rious other restrictive laws may not
satisfy ultra temperance people, but
they are slowly and surely accomplish
! ing the end so earnestly wished for by
those Who are opposed to the liquor
traffic. Tratlcking in and drinking Ii
quor are falling more and more into
disfavOr. It's true that there are still
great many barroOms-toO many Of
them, by far, in the cities and towns,
and there is also a flOurishing lug
trade" going on in probably all of the
local option counties. And then there
are club rooms where liquors are serv-
ed and other places where young men
are started on a downward course
Nevertheless. with all of these things,
there is perceptible change for the
better in the matter of drinking liquor.
1t Is no longer considered just the
thing for the Judge, the colonel and
the majOr" to lock arms and march in
to drinking saloon. They doubtless
still take their grog but no longer do
it publicly, and thereby set a bad ex-
ample to younger men. The older men
slip into their clubs for their drinks or
take them at home.
This is not local picture 1t is il
Illustrative Of conditions throughout
the country. Young drunkardS are
no longer tolerated by employers, or
by society. Many of the workingmen
who formerly spent their money in
the "cOrner shops" for drains now
spend their nights in homes built with
the money which they saved through
breaking off the liquor habit.
The battle against liquor is an uphill
fight, but every year the status of af-
fairs is improving. The states are
strengthening the laws against intern
perance and discouraging the liquor
traffic. Nearly all of the secret sOCie-
ties are advocates of temperance.
which is the first step towards total
abstinence. The Oldest of the secret
orders, members of which fifty years
ago thought a meeting without liquor
drinking was no meeting at all, has
for years prohibited liquor from being
brought within the precincts of its
meeting places, and it Furnishes severe
ly any member of the order who dis.
graces the order by INDUCING in strong
drink too freely. Saloon keepers are
not admitted into several of these Sc
cret orders. The churches, which were
once divided on the temperance ques
ton, are now practically a unit IN ad-
vOCating it.
Here, in Savannah, there has been
great change for the better in the past
twenty-five years. A quarter of a cent
ury ago there were hundreds of reputa-
bic business men who thought nothing
of getting drunk. Today those who
get that way could probably be counted
upon the fingers of two hands. We
cannot have prohibition, but we are
now hayinga steady growth in temper

A few weeks later julius was in Buffalo,

he had been asohyxated in a Brooklyn

there one overwhelming thought:
Baptists must get together.
Instead Of breaking apart over every
conceivable difference of opinion. they
must put these matters of mere opinion
aside, and must get together. Let rival
newspapers settle their own difficulties,
let those who are striving for personal
leadership here and there beat the air
as much as they please. but let not
their petty and selfish ambitions disturb
the peace or diminish the fraternity of
the great host. Before Southern Bap-
lists are set at once the most
magnificent opportunities ever as
signed or offered to any peo-
pie. If they woul perform the one
and improve the other, they must put
far from them the spirit Of discord ana
alienation. And the men who set to
work to create this discord, in district
or state or in the Convention-who. for
the qualification of private gludges or
the attainment of private ends, are
willing to still further divide and wea-
ken this army of the Lord-what are
they but Schismatics, who hinder the
gospel of Christi"

REDUCTION IN OFFICE FORCE
OF tho Southeastern Freight Association
Twenty Five Mon Discharged.

VI ShAO
Twenty Five Mon Discharged.
There has been a heavy reduction OF
the force of the Southeastern Freight
Association. Chairman Parrot has
cut it down from sixty to thirty-five
men. No salaries have been reduced
except in the cases of five men, who
were dropped from the rate or inspec-
nate places in the statistical depart
ment. In those cases they get the sal
airy Of the position they take.
Heretofore the force has been eleven
clerks in the inspection department.
Only two were retained there. There
were fourteen in the rate department,
which has six now. The statistical de-
partment had twenty-five, and now has
twenty.
The heads of departments and the
secretary are all retained. Several 9TH
ers in the main office have been drop
ped.
Chairman Parrot said in speaking
of the matter:
1T was the idea of the executive
board to cut the inspection force to a
minimum and reduce all the others.
The junior clerks were let out and
those most efficient by reason of expe-
rience and long service have been re-
tanned. A few of these were trans
ferred to subordinate positions in other
departments. 1t may be necessary
hereafter to increase the force 10 fifty
men, but if SO, these. as far as possible.
will be put in positions such as they
have held heretofore. There has been
no reduction OF salaries. Those
who take subordinate positions get the
salaries heretofore paid for that work,
but there are only five of these men
The average of salaries is really in
creased, because the Juniors were let
out. The heads Of departments are all
retained"
