develop power enough to run a small feed
grinding machine. 1t is built on the prin-
ciple Of the overshot water wheel, the

wind strikes only the upper fans. When

II. M. Powers, ex-county treasurer of
Polk county, is something OF a kodak flend.
He has taken hundreds of pictures, but the
happiest shot he ever made was In Osceola
at the Fourth of July celebration. A big
balloon was being inflated preparatory to
an ascension. Mr.. Powers had his camera
trained upon 1t, expecting to take a picture
just as the aeronaut shot up into the air,
but at the critical moment an accident
happened, which so frightened him that he
touched the button intuitively, thereby get
ting a picture of a balloon explosion instead
of a commonplace balloon ascension.
Unusually heavy rains during June and
July have soaked the west and places that
are commonly dry are now lakes or .quag-
mires. One feature of the downpour has
been the vast amount of trouble caused the
railroads by damage done to their tracks.
Every road In the west has suffered more
or less from interruption OF traffic due
to this cause. At Omaha the Union Pacific
has been the worst afflicted, a large por-
tion of the immense embankment tina car
ries the tracks running onto the big bridge
over the Missouri river sliding away one
morning during the week. Traffic was not
stopped, for only three of the many tracks
In the depot yards were involved in the
slide, but the large amount Of earth and
annH tnyAluaI IL H. -. 49,
labor that will be necessary to repair 1t
makes the matter one decidedly expensive
for the road to bear. The Illustrations in
this number were made from photographs
taken within a short time after the slide
occurred.

endured her complaints all one day in
silence, but the next morning she a~ccosted
him while he was smoking his cigar on
the veranda after breakfast. I will say
in her defense that she isn't married and
she hasn't a father, so she didn't know
what che was doing when she broke In on
a mans smoke.
"oh, DOCTOR" said she, 81 do wish you'd
tell me what to do. I just can't sleep at all.
Why, last night I didn't once close my
eyes"
The doctor glared at her.
II didn't close an eye," she went en-. 81
do wish you'd tell me what to do"
The doctor glared again.
Good Lord, madam" he Numbered, "try
closing youI eyes. How on earth do you
expect to sleep II you don't?"
In a speech In London the other day Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman told an admir-
able story of the advice given by an Eng
lishman, a Scotchman and an Irishman
respectively to a gentleman whose servant
was constantly breaking articles in the
household. The Englishman said to the
employer: "oh, get rid of him-dismiss
him" The scotchman's advice was: stop
the money out of his wages" But" said
the master, che breaks more thar his
wages amount to-" "Then," said the Irish
man, raise his wages"
.
The party in the smoking room Of the
steamer was talking of Irish wit and the
q%uiekness thereof. says the New York TrIb-
une. Several gave personal experiences,
and one man, to his sorrow, tried to use an
old story. Then spoke the agent for an
exporting house..
Il was coming up the South American
coast on a sailing ship last winter" he
said, when this happened. There was a
Norwegian in the crew who was absolutely
fearless aloft. He did a number Of tricks
for us one afternoon, and as a grand finale
stood on his head on top OF the mainmas'.
We held our breaths until he swung him
self back into the rigging.
II would like to see any of you do that,
he boosted when he reached the deck.
ct can do it, said a little Irishman, one
OF the kind who will never be 'stumped.' L
can do it, and forthwith he started up the
mast.
I'VE could see from the way he climbed
