result he shivered and shook on the
front platform of the car until Ninth
street was reached. There, as II seized
with a sudden thought, Mr.. johnson
jumped up from his richly upholstered
chair in the cozy car and dashed out on
the platform.
Go inside and get warm" he said to
the motorman, who attempted to en-
postulate. But inside he had to 90.

CONSIDERABLE ALARM

Over the Rise in the Mississippi River at

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 24.-The Mis-
sissippi river at this point continues to
rise at a rate that is considered alarm
ing by river men in general, and
especially levee contractors, who have
dled bonds to complete certain work at
given time. The time named has al
most expired, but the excessive rains
causing an unprecedentedly high
stage of water for this season
of the year, has operated against
levee work. AS result there
are several breaks In the lower
!evees left from last years spring

sible to remedy before the March and
April freshets, unless there should in.
tervene 30 or more days of clear
weather. The danger line at Memphis
is 33 feet Monday morning the gauge
read 80 feet. showing a rise of Q. 3 In ie
hours. with a continued rise predicted.
Plantation owners in the delta coun-
try are thoroughly alarmed, but there
is no immediate danger to life or
property.

Germany Retaliatcs.

The uecree which Germany has issued
prohibiting the importation of American
fruits is merely retaliation, having in
mind the recent American tariff legis-
lation imposing a discriminating duty on
German bounty-paid sugar. There is lit
tie or no fo olndation for the assertion that
our fruits shipped abroad are unsanitary.
The consular reports of the United States
show that imported fruits have found great
favor in German cities, and the reports
and testimony Of those who have drank
Heurich's MaerZen beer, is that it Is
far superior in all its qualities TO that
imported 70 this country. 1t is an ac-
