DAMAGE BY STORM.
County Was Very Destructive
to bridges and Highways.


The board of supervisors of Des
Moines county in special session in
Burlington has received returns show
ing that the losses to big bridges in
the county during the recent flood
amount to fully $4,000. The loss in
personal property, live stock, ETC.,
will be nearly $4,000 more. The county
is somewhat restricted at present in
its financial resources, and it may be
necessary to borrow $4,000 to put the
highways in passable condition.
The storm proved to have been dis
astrous one to local fishermen, all
their tackle having been dislodged by
the flood. AS consequence the Bur
lington fish dealers have had a hard
time supplying their customers.

There was new trolley line through
the village, and it was Roses delight to
stand at the front gate and watch the
cars go spinning past. The butchers boy
had carelessly left the gate open. Rosie
was consumed with curiosity to dis
cover where the bright sparks were
hidden which flew off the rails when
the cars went by, and presently she
was crouching on the forbidden track,
picking at the rails with stick.
Soon there was humming sound,
which gave warning that car was
coming. Aunt Maria looked out of the
window to see it pass, and saw sight
that curdled the blood in her veins.
She saw Rosie sitting on the track,
too much absorbed to heed the ap-
preaching car. The motorman was

TOMMY DooLEY TO THE RESCUE
looking at a freckled and dirty-faced
boy, longing down the street, with
both hands in his pockets, and he had
not discovered the child
Aunt Maria ran out, uttering a
scream that brought the minister
from his study. AT the same moment
the freckled boy gave yell that made
the motorman turn pale, and put on
the brakes with all his might.
1t was too late to stop the car. An
other moment, and it would have been
too late to save the child. But the boy
made one spring-a flying leap-and
snatched her out Of danger.
He did not quite clear himself, how
ever. Something struck him, and the
car whizzed past, and sent him stag
gering half across the street. He was
half stunned; but he kept his feet, and
stumbled forward, bearing little Rose
lin his arms. 1t was the Dooley boy.
Rosie was crying loudly, but quite
unframed. She was crying not so
much from fright as from tender pity
for the Dooley boy; for she looked up
into his face. down which stream of
blood was trucking, and piteously
| sobbed:
Jimmy hurt Jimmy face all bud
gy! Poor Timmy!"
"You dear boy!" cried Aunt Maria.
And she, too, began to cry.
Mrs. Hathaway, clasping Rosie, took
the Dooley boy into the same embrace,
much to his surprise.
He was taken into the house, and the
blood washed from his face, the cut,
which was nothing serious, dressed
with courtplaster, the dirt also
washed away, and the shock of curly
brown hair pushed back from the we'll.
shaped forehead; and, behold the
Dooley boy was a really good looking
boy!
"a brave boy!" said the minister
with emotion. 1--WE shall never forget
what you have done for US, Timothy
