STRUCK A BARGAIN.
A Deal in Cow buying That Created
Bad blood Between Neigh
bOrs.

Blanks uglier than bear" complained
one board of trade man to another, recent
~. whats the matter with him, anyhow
Haven't you heard? I'll tell you on the
quiet, but never intimate to him that you
know thing. 1t would be all your life's
worth. You know he owns fine home out
north of the boulevard!'
"Of to the right near Highland ParkE'
That's the place. He has a neighbor on
either side and one OF them owned one Of
these COWS that never wants TO stay where
she's put. She was constantly breaking into
Blanks back yard, tramping the lawn to
pieces, breaking the shrubbery and using
the side of the house, in lieu of a straw
stack, to rub against. No fencethat would
not deface the property would keep her out,
and Blank decided that something must be
done. He could not bear the idea of a
neighbOrhood row, so he went to the owner
of the COW, told him that she had become an
intolerable nuisance and that he would glad
ly give $50 to have her disposed of. The Of
fer was promptly accepted, and the money
paid. A morning or two later the COW was
in the yard again, destroying things just as
Of old. Blank hunted up his neighbor and
said: i thought YOU promised me to get rid
of that COW at once
did and | have Sold her to your
neighbOr on the other side for $50 Pretty
good deal, wasn't it; $50 for a S25 cow"
Blanks been mad enough to shoot ever
since. Detroit Free Press

DAMAGE BY FLOODS.
Destruction Cnused by Overlooking
of Rivers i'm Ohio, Kentucky
and West Virginia.

Cincinnati, March 7. Fifty-three
feet and nine inches is the ten o'clock
stage of the Ohio river at this point
Monday night. This is beyond all eX-
peetations warranted by information
at hand Sunday night. The rainfall
in the limited section of the Ohio wa
tershed south and east of the Ohio
river was much greater than anyone
expected This rate of rise at this
point is about three inches per hour.
This rate unexpectedly has been main
tanned for more than "a hours.
Damage by flood in the cities on the
Ohio so far reported is slight The
lowlands and a part of Gallipo-
lis, o.. are flooded Many families have
been obliged TO move out. The Ohio
river overfowed its banks at Point
Pleasant and nearly all of the business
portion of the city is flooded Schools
are closed and all business suspended.
Middleport and Racine are both get
ting a muddy bath. River men say the
Ohio is higher now than il has been
since the memorable food of 's4.
Louisville, Ky, March 7. - The
| swollen streams in Kentucky are caus-
ing great damage, especially to farm
ers, and it is feared the worst is yet 10
come. as the streams are still rising.
Pittsburgh, Pa, March AT mid
night the record at Davis Island dam
was 1914 and falling. Al danger Of
food in this vicinity has passed.
Charleston, W. Va, March THE
high water has receded but slowly,
and the largest portion of the city is
still under water. 1t is estimated that
the damage TO coal property along the
upper Kanawha will amount to over
$4,000. There is likelihood of distress
on account of the growing shortage of
coal. The supply is about exhausted
and all the coal yards are under water.

ferring to this the young woman who sees

charges of the church dwelt at some length
on the righteousness faith and upright life
Of the pastor who had been so highly hon
ored. She impressed her young hearers with
the "faithfulness to duty" that had char

and was listened to with devout and deep
attention. Believing this lesson had ef-
fectlyeiy penetrated the young minds the
teacher asked:
And now who can tell me the one thing
that our pastor held so dear that he should
receive this call?'
After an interval of silence. during which
the members of the small set looked about

WILL KEEP HANDS OFF.
The United states Government VIII
Remain Passive a. to ItaIy's De-
mand of China.

Washington, March THE United
States government has remained abso-
lutely passive throughout the eXecu-
ton of the Italian project to secure an
'open door" on the Chinese coast
through the acquisition Of San-Mun
bay and outlying islands. One of the
highest authorities said: The gov
eminent of the United States will not
take any steps in regard to the Italian
demand for Chinese territory" In
other words, our government, resist
ing from motives of broad policy the
limitations from other powers that
the time is ripe for raid by the United
States on some part Of the Chinese
coast line, has determined definitely
to keep hands off.
