kEOkUk. Ia, July 21.-Exploration
OF the flooded districts OF the Missls-
sippi river from keokuk south shows
conditions beyond the appreciation or
realization of any but those OF long eX-
periehce with the Father OF waters III
its most destructive mood.
The situation is growing worse hour
ly. and great condagration in great
city would not be more rapidly destruc-
tice OF values. There is absolutely not
the slightest chance Of stopping this
most costly flood in the history OF the
great river above st. Louis.
Everywhere the greatest crops ever
known are under water deep enough to
float steamboat. People at the river
cities give accounts of losses aggregat-
ing many millions of dollars. Hundreds
of farmers rich ten days ago are penni-
less and homeless.
Careful estimates gathered from the
statements of best informed people in
dicate the loss up to the present at
about $G,0OO,OOO, with every prospect
of $2,OOO,OOO or $3,O0O,OOO additional by
the rise above not yet reaching the low
er stretches of the river.
Most of this loss is on the Missouri
side of the river between keokuk and
Hannibal
Alexandria was protected to the last
by the EgyptieA levee. the breaking of
which woula send four feet of water
all over the town. Gregory is also sub
merged
Immense fields are seen in great
lake, with the shore visible only with
glass where the high bluffs bound
the bottoms. Islands dotting the river
at its normal stage have disappeared
except for the tops CT trees or fringe of
high shor" willows Sshtly protruelns
like a circular coral reef. Occasionally
a house OH piles or stills is seen, but
generally only roofs rise to mark the
center of farms.
On the edge of the flood river corn
gradually rises on slope, tassels, tops.
ears, stalks, appearing in order. In the
middle Of the resent river the tracks
of the st. Louis, Keokuk and North
western railroad, normally on the Mis-
souri, shore, are now a few inches above
the water and under it in some stretch
es Shore lights for pilots are standing
in the midst of waste of waters,
where steamboats, can run over them.
The river is five to ten miles wide. and
another lake seventy miles long is add
ed to the map.
All this territory was practically COW
cred with corn fortnight ago, esti.s
mated to make seventy-ive to a hun
dred bushels to the acre. Previous es-
Inmates of the loss have been greatly
increased by the prospective yield be-
ing found much greater than ever be-
fore, experts telling of many farms
that were good for a hundred bushels
to the acre before the flood. The loss is
total. Experience is that If water stays
forty-eight hours even four inches un.
der the surface it kills corn, and every
stalk wet by waves perishes from rot
ting roots.
The chief flood thus far is on the Mis-.
souri, side, from KeOkuk to Louisiana,

A Joker AmOmw BIrsln.

The bluejay Is the most persistent
practical joker In the feathered king
dom. He will conceal himself In a
clump of leaves near the spot where
small birds are accustomed to gather.
and when they are enjoying them
selves In their own fashion will sud
denly brighten them almost to death
by screaming out like hawk. OF
course they scatter In every direction,
aud when they do 30 the mischievous
rascal gives vent to cacklc that
sounds very much like laugh. II
be confined his pranks to such Jokes
as this. however. he would not be such
a bad neighbor to birds smaller than
himself. hut when he nmuses himself
by breaking the eggs In their nests and
tearing the young to pieces with his
bill he becomes pestilent nuisance.
and they often combine their forces to
drive him out OF the ncighborhood.
They do not always succeed. for he
ID as full OF light as OF mischief. but .
severe conflict teaches him that they.
too, have their rights. and this In
duccs hun to mend his manners.

TWO MEN
AND = = =
A FOOL.
By HOMER Stan
Copyrlght, 1909. by the
=. y. Mcclure Company

Young BLISS hadn't exactly turned
tramp when he first met with old More
~ or the Bingham County bank. but
he had been out Of work for year or
more and was secdy and discouraged
and wondering III he hadn't better 20
and hang himself. At the Saltarsville
depot he pulled old Merely out Of the
way OF a wild engine and saved his
life. The old man looked him over and
said:
young man. come up to Grafton to-
morrow and have talk with me.
You'll find me ut the bank"
On the morrow. having stolen a ride
on freight ;rnin. young Bliss appear
ed at the bank, ana old Merely said
biuntly:
Ell give You place at SIS q week.
You can go to work In tho morning"
That was the old mans way. He
never required bond or asked for
references. II he decided to take a
new man on In the bank or let an old
man 90. 1t was I'LL over In five min
utes. lie expected man to be prompt
honest. and to work for his interest
alone. and he never md word Of
praise. In addition to the bank. he
owned WOODEN mill. big stone quar-
~ and Touring mill. Young Bliss
went TO work In the wooden mill ~ as
sistnnt to the manager, aud FOR six
months he seemed TO have dropped
out OF the old mans sight. lie had
taken hold with great carnestness and
moro than earned his salary. lie was
hustlinE around one day when old
Merely came In and said:
"rherc seems to be moro In you than
! thought for. am shifting Mr.. Craig
to the bank. and you can take his place
and salary"
Mr.. Craig was the Office superintend-
ent. subordinate TO the general man
agcr OF the MILL and young Bliss had
filled the position for several months
without criticism when three incidents
happened In n day.
The first was bis rescuing Joe Hover,
an idiot whom lot of other boys were
harasslng and annoying. The idiot
looked at Bliss long time. ~ II seek.
ing to impress the picture on his mind,
and turned away uttering queer CAB
BILE OF words.
The second was dispute with
James Richards. the bank cashier. over
Kootenai County Republican. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1899-1903, 1902-05-30

Z bit Of carelcssness some one else was
responsible for. and the third was
meeting Minnie Merely. the old mans
daughter. for the tirst time as she re-
turned from a school In the east. Each
incident was hut trifie ut tho time.
but each was 10 have bearing on his
future.
Richards. who was slngle man Of
thirty. arrogant and oyerhearing by
nature. demanded scrvillty from all his
suhorsllnates. He elected to look upon
young Rliss In that light. and the few
hot words that passed between them
made him thirst for revenge. He had
hoped Ia hts own mind for two or three
years past TO lind favor In Minnie
Morcly's eyes and become the hank
er's son.in-law. Queerly enough. he
had made an enemy OF the fool by
roughly bouncing him Oh the bank
steps on two or three occasions.
Two weeks after the day OF incidents
younx Rllss had to call nj the Merely
residence ON a matter Of business and
was introduced to tiie daughter. Dur.
Ing the next four weeks he met her
several times. and at length the jealous
eye Of third party came to the CON
clusion that Il would develop into a
case OF love Ii not broken up. That
third party was the hank cashier. and
be- did not hare to 70 fur for a plan
All the hands at the quarry and the
mills were paid once a month. The
monthly pay roll amounted to between
$4,000 and 5000. aud In his new posi-
ton YOUNG Fiiss made no the roll.
