PRETTY GIRLS AT DISCOUNT.
They Are Seldom Selected Elm plOyes in the Large Stores
 of Great City.

Although all girls desire to be handsome and those not favored with the gift are constantly bemoaning pensations. One of them is the abil- ity to procure employment if she needs it, while her friend, more cap tivating in person and manner, is turned away. One very attractive girl applied at a large establishment recently, where she had understood help was needed, reports the Chicago Chronicle.
 CT fear it will be impossible to make place for you behind our counters" said the appointment clerk with evident regret in his tone.
 ''And yet I understood that you needed additional saleswomen to meet the rush of the early summer shopping" she murmured. q can furnish the best of references as to my ability and character. Oh, dear! This is the fifth place in which 1 have sought employment to-day, but there seems to be nothing for me in all New York"
 "You're a cold blooded proposi- tion," indignantly exclaimed friend of the appointment clerk as the pret- ty girl left the store with eyes swim ming and mouth a-tremble. "You told me yesterday you were shy at least dozen good saleswomen."
 ''So I did," returned the other, calmly.
 '.Well, then, why didn't you give that poor girl show? Certainly her beauty ought to be a recommends tion in itself"
 ''Her beauty?" repeated the appoint ment clerk with smile. ''Well, it was wholly on that account that I refused to give her place. It is also the only reason, no doubt, that she did not succeed in obtaining employment elsewhere.
 ''1his is the golden era of the plain girl in big establishments of this kind, and her pretty sisters have to step aside and find employment as typewriters, stenographers or places Not that just a trace-mind you, only d trace-of loveliness in sales woman renders her totally imprac- ticable, rather that is to be desired at times, but uncompromising beauty is absolutely too attractive, both to the interests of department stores.'

Oyster Bay, N. r., July 20.-Presi- dent Roosevelt entertained a distin- guished party at luncheon Saturday at his SagamoFe Hill home. United States Cenator John Kean, of New He came primarily to invite the pres ident, on behalf of Gov. Franklin Murphy of New Jersey, to visit the camp of the New Jersey national guard at Sea Girt on July 24. It is not unlikely that MT. Roosevelt may accept the invitation, as he is partic- ularly interested in the great second line of the country's defense. State Senator Elsberg, of New York, fol lowed, having been invited by the president to talk over with him New York state affairs.
 Late last night Ferdinand Jelke, Jr., of Cincinnati, O., arrived at Oys- ter Bay, to call by invitation on the president. He, also, was guest at luncheon. MT.

TRIALS OF A POET.
He Wrote One Poem Too Many and as a Consequence He Lost
 Job in Congress-,

Eugene r. Ware got to be commits sioner of pensions in spite of being poet, and not because of it. So de- clares Kansas man, who, chatting al the Fifth Avenue hotel the other even ing, said that poem of Wares, "The Washerwoman's Song," defeated him for congress and threatened to kill him politically, says the Now York Times.
 'There are lot of rigidly orthodox preachers out in Kansas, and when Gen. Funston's father was contesting the nomination for congress with Ware the preachers cited the poem to prove that the author was not sound on miracles, and they nominated Fun ston.
 ''After the convention a Baptist preacher who headed one of the dele gations met Ware and said:
 "'We'd liked to have voted for you, Gene, but you wrote one poem too many
 "'The Washerwoman's Song also caused philanthropist to pour the vials of his wrath upon Wares head. The man was touched by the poem and sent Ware ten dollars for the washer woman. Of course the check was re- turned with the explanation that the woman was creation of his imagina- tion, and the return mail brought the hotteseA blast that Ware ever got.
 "The philanthropist was mad clear through. He declared that the poet was trifing with the higher qualities of human nature in wringing peoples hearts over imaginary ills, and that he ought to be locked up for it.
 Ware was in doubt whether he ought to feel tickled or penitent, but he kept out of the philanthropist's way"

RAINS AND FLOODS.
Heavy Rains in Central Iowa Raise Streams Big River From Keokuk
 to Cairo.

Keokuk, Ia., July 1S.-Heavy rains in Central Iowa Thursday and Friday are sending a flood down upon pros porous Missouri farmers which will ruin many of them and cause losses aggregating, at conservative esti- mate, two and half million dollars. There seems to be no hope for the country between the Mississippi river and its Missouri bluffs between Keo- kuk and Hannibal, 300 square miles, mostly planted to corn, with some thousands of acres of wheat in the shock. The water had touched the danger line the first of the week and had begun to recede when heavy floods started again in the Des Moines, Skunk and Iowa rivers. With a stage in the Des Moines river only three feet below the tops of the great levees, the river began to rise three inches an hour at it's mouth here to- day, continuing until the factor of safety was wiped out this evening. A rise of one and half feet in short time this morning at Ottumwa, and IuA tIlCl IlSC uOuG US 1CuS LII below the capital city, was prevent ed from running out freely by rise of a foot and half at Davenport last night, increasing and coming down rapidly.
 Warnings Sent Out.
 This afternoon the observer of the weather bureau at Keokuk sent tele- rloia tA on int to prepare for danger The crest is expected here Saturday or Sunday. The Egyptian levee, which stood the flood just receding, after strenuous efforts to hold it, including the de- struction of farm houses to secure lumber for strengthening the dike, is only slightly above the water now and the coming flood in the Des Moines will top it certainly. This will let the water into hundreds of square miles, including the town of Alexandria, Mo. The inhabitants there are preparing for an overflow of the entire town to depth of sev- eral feet.
 The corn crop in the flooded dis trict is all made and wheat is in the shock, and as a result the farmers will lose all their years work. Grain men say the foregoing estimate of value is too low, and put the figures of the loss from the overflow at near CT four millions between Keolluk and Hannibal. It is believed the Illinois levees will hold and the damage there is likely to be only $20,000 to $30,000 between Keokuk and Quincy. Heavy Iowa to-day, and tonight there are indications of still higher water. Low land farmers, rivermen and the weather observer alike predict the greatest damage ever known from flood on the upper river.
 More Rain Falling.
 Reports late this evening show tre- mendous rains along the Des Moines river and tributaries. Six inches fell at Corydon and nearly that much at Ottumwa. Rains all over this section continue tonight with two inches as a general minimum rainfall and many reporting five inches. These rains will reach the lower river and flooded dis tricts by Sunday, with a still further rise and devastation. Both the Des Moines and Mississippi rivers are ris- ing faster as night progresses. Late reports show that half the country for a distance of 30 miles from La grange and Hannibal were under wa ter long before the crest of the flood arrived.
