The Levees.

The Commercial Appeal says the rise in the river will settle an enrineeriny question. that of the effect of closing the upper portion of the St. Francis basin. Most of the government engi. neers and all of the state levee enoi- neers to the south of the new Ieyee have maintained that the closing of the basin would make the water high CT below, most of them figuring that With the. same stage at Cairo there would be three feet additional to the normal below there. It was on the strength of this argument that the Mississippi river commission gave the lower levee the lions share of the last appropriation, reasoning that the lower levees should be made capable of standing the high water before it was sent against them.
 But on the other hand no inconsid- erable portion of the engineers main. tain that the closing of the St. Francis basin will not make the river any high CT below there. They contend that conilning the water in it's natural banks will make it SCOUT out the bars ln the river and pass out faster, instead Of passing laterally into the low lands.
 But all agree that one effect of clos. Ing the basin will be to make the high water last for a shorter time.

A DIsCONCERTED DRUMMER.
Mrs. Lenses Interesting Conversation
With a Commercial Traveller.

Topeka State Journal
Mrs. Mary E. Lease last night boarded
the Santa Fe train here for Atchison,
where she had lecture date. She found
the car crowded, the only vacant seat being
by the side of a Chicago travelling man.
OF course the travelling man moved his big
grips and made room for her. This brought
from the "uncrowned queen of the Kansas
prairies" a "thank YOU and pleasing
smile.
The ice thus broken. the travelling man
proceeded to make himself agreeable. One
word brought on another and the travelling
man soon got far enough along in the con-
versation to ask Mrs. Lease where she
''At wichita" she replied.
"Ah! Wichita" said the travelling man.
II suppose you know the famous Mary
II know her quite well"
Shes a great old girl; I'd like to meet
her"
There was a merry twinkle in Mrs.
Leases eye. She saw some fun ahead !,
The travelling man continued: II learned
a good deal about Mrs. Lease through
Topeka friend of mine who was her attor-
ney-Hagan, Eugene Hagan, that's my
friends name-defended her the time Lew
cling tried to remove her from the board
of charities. Hagan said she was a great
fighter, but Notwithstanding her reputation
as a crank was a very easy client to get
$500 without question and he thought She
would have paid $1,000 just as willingly.
She is the first woman l ever heard of who
wouldn't quarrel about bill. that is, IL
she had to pay it herself"
Mrs. Lease beamed upon the travelling
man. and said she had heard the subject OF
the chat was. that kind of a woman
What sort of a family has she?" asked
the travelling man.
"She has a number of very bright chill
dren," Mrs. Lease replied, two boys and
a girl The elder boy is grown

Eyes; he is a druggist.
Gle must be queer kind of a man."
''Why?"
Well Mrs. Lease is bright and famous
and all that, but she is such curiosity
that l should think man would hate to
live with her"
Mrs. Lease bit her lip. "He has managed
to stand il good whtc-nearly quarter
of a century, she said.
There's no accounting for tastes in this
world" the travelling man remarked.

who was sitting across the aisle and had

Lease laughed and handed the travelling
man her card.

II must get off here" said the travelling
man. and grabbing his grips made a dash
for the door. He left the train at Norton

Trnnstieurntion.

They were but mortals, common clay,
Until, one strange, sweet solemn day:
EXpound the mystery who CAM
swift thrill through their pulses ran,
A look, like lightning in it's play
Planned in their souls with fer%id ray,
And God descended in their way,
When she a woman, he man,
Awoke to love.
And all the world, erewhile so gray,
In rainbow splendors round them lay;
For them the Universal Plan
Held Eden in its magic span,
And heaven came down to earth when they
AWoke to love.

Lost Music.

AS when upon crowded city street,
That ever sounds with din of multitude,
We pass some place whence pleasing interlude
OF music comes, that stays our wear1ed teet
And we the moment feel ourselves retreat
From out the busy whirl, to live the while
With sense of sweetest ecstasy, and smile
Within ourselves that fortune was so sweet;
So came her life to mine: for one brief round
Its music fell across my troubled way,
And somehow set my being all atune;
But soon, too soon. that music fades from sound,
And dscords come again. 'Tis sad the day
When mem ry of a song is all ones boom

But please, dear God. am so small, keep me

OF love has slipt whose eyes too hot to weep
Close burning, in dull. drear tone
She prays the old child-prayer, Now down to

The Souls Farewell.

How oft we see upon some still. dead face
A strange, grace;
A beauty that in life we could not trace.
1t seems as if this can be nothing less
Than the impress
OF the freed spirits plying caress.
AS if, quick pausing in it's glad release,
1t touched with peace
The clay o err which its power now should cease.
And we, who thought to look upon our dead
With shrinking dread,
BY that sweet, rapturous calm are comforted.

SELECTED VERSE.


The smell OF the sea in my nostrils,
The sound OF the sea in mine ears;
The touch OF the spray my burning face
Like the mist OF reluctant tears.
The blue of the sky above me-
The green of the waves beneath;
The sun flashing down en- a gray-white sail
Like q scimtar from its sheath.
And ever the breaking pillows,
And ever the rocks, disdain;
And ever thrill in mine Utmost heart
That my reason cannot explain
So | say to my heart BE silent
Tie mystery of time is here;
Deaths way will be plain when we fathom the
main,
And the secret of life be clear.
