FREAKS OF THE MISSOURI.
Farmers Vino Find Their Fields Hav
Disappeared Over Night.


In the May St. Nicholas. Frank H.
Spearman has n paper entitled a Shift
ing Boundary" which is particularly
timely just NJ present. as it tells of the
way the Missouri river has of suddenly
changing its boundaries. Mr.. Spearman
says:
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, rico
chet from side to side OF the broad valley
they have eaten deep into the soft pral-
ries. and pour headlong into the Nissis-
sippi near st. Louis; how, night aud day.
winter and summer, the twisting torrent
shifts its channel, cuts IFS banks, under
mines railroads. astonishes the musk
rats. keeps the fish studying guldcpoSts,
worries the bridge guards and sets the
farmers crazy For, just think of 1t:
the Nebraska farmer who land stretches
along the river goes to bed thinking he
will cut his broad acres of golden wheat
i'll the morning; but. 10, in the night that
madcap river has entered his waving
fields. and like snow they have melted
away. Grain. fences. trees. buildings,
laHd-are gone. And a great, sullen,
yellow food boils and eddies where his
harvest smiled yesterday.
Next week, very likely. the reckless
stream will make his neighhor across
the river present of Il hundred or more
acres, Just because he doesn't need them.
OF course, II was natural for man VINO
lost his land that way to look longlngiy
across the river, and think. after awhile,
that the newly made land over there be
longcd to him; and many a wearlsome
lawsuit has been begun to recover title
to made land which lies. maybe. eX-
aCtiy where the lost farm lay. but on the
other side Of the river. Perhaps there
is some equity in such a claim; but the
trouble is, that sort of thing is going on
all the time, and the courts said they
couldn't keep track of such pranks: that
lands acquired by accrction-mark that
Word-should belong to the farmer who
owned the river bank where they were
