THE STORY OF A GOOD BOY.

John Wilson was thrifty mechanic with nice home. a cheery wife and three children, the youngest of whom was boy named John. The elder John was a pious and Christian man. who tried faithfully not to commit the sin of idolatry ill his feeling for his son, but it was impossible. He wor- shipped the boy. The young John, then five years old, was real boy in all the term implies. His father was sure he was the best that ever lived, and already he saw him as a man preaching good to all men. for that was the hope in the elder Johns bosom.
 One day when the father came back from the shop he brought with him a pretty tin cup on which was written in gilt letters, '"To Good Boy.' He gave it to his son, and the child looked up into his face like an angel and smiled Two days later, as John Will son came homeward when the day was done, he was thinking proudly of his boy, who would meet him at the gate, when his attention was attracted by a dog coming licketysplit down the street, with a tin cup tied to his tail, and knocking ragtime out of the side walk. Before MT Wilson could get out of the way the dog had dashed between his legs, upsetting him into a coal-hole and piling in on top of him, in a tangle that was terrific The dog got away at last, and when the policeman helped the bruised and battered mechanic out of the hole he discovered a string wound round his leg, and attached to the end of it the tin cup which looked as if it had been through seven wars.
 You can keep this as souvenir, : said the policeman, pleasantly.
 What is itg' asked John Wilson, taking it.
 .'Tt's a tin cup belonging to some Of them little devils around the corner. I guess said the policeman, twirling his club significantly.
 The father of John Wilson. IT, looked at the battered tin in his hand. Tn gilt letters, which he had not forgot ten were the words. ITO Good Boy'' Detroit Free Press.

Ut is true,' says one writer. that many democrats believe there should be free trade between the islands and the United States until such time as the Filipinos are made independent, and there is nothing to fear from their competition under ordinary circum- stances, but if the plans of the capital ists who now dominate affairs are car ried into effect, practically free land is used for production and cheap Chi nese labor employed, the competition will prove serious. Then the commits sion desires authority to issue bonds which will have to be guaranteed by this country for the development of the islands and so place upon the Fili- pinos a burden of indebtedness they are il prepared to bear and so attach them to the United States by ties Of indebtedness as to forever prevent the acauirement of their freedom. There are 53,O00 acres of sugar lands in Min dora alone which will yield magniti- cent profits under this nefarious scheme,

Floods Along the Hudson Cause Sus-
 pension of Traffic.
 HUDSON, N. Ys March 4.-High wa ter in the Hudson river and the form ing of ice gorges above this city south of Albany has stopped railway traffic on the New York Central and Hudson River road. Great activity prevails at this station, where all trains bound north are transferred over the Boston and Albany railroad via Chatham to Albany, and trains destined for New York arrive over the same route. It requires four large .'hog'' engines to steep grade through this city, causing considerable delay.
 Much apprehension is felt about the situation in the vicinity of Castleton and Schodacl. Four large passenger trains are stalled there in the flood, one of the trains being the Empire State express. The waters have risen so high about them that the cars are submerged to the roofs, and heavy ice is pounding them hard, threatening their demolition. A work train from Hudson which went to the assistance of the other is also caught in the flood and cannot move in either direction, the locomotives fires being extin- guished.
 The rush of the waters and heavy ice over the docks and along the rail- way tracks swept many small build ings away, destroying them complete Iv

Roosevelt has allowed republican sen- ators and representatives to understand that he will regard their participation in any movement to get Schley's case before congress as a personal affronJ,
 and that seems to have silenced the most of them.
 The democratic members of the sen ate committee on privileges and elec- tions won a creditable victory in the Tillman- McLaurin case. The republi- cans started out by talking of report ing a resolution for the expulsion of the two senators, but the democratic senators put a quick stop to that by
 stating that they would flibuster until the end of this congress before they would allow such a resolution to be adopted. That the republicans pro
 posed that Iillman should be given the
 greater punishment. This also the democrats opposed, claiming, and quite rightly, that the two senators were
 equally guilty, and expressing their willingness to support q resolution to
 censure them alike, and they carried their point. The majority does what
 ever it pleases in the house. but the
 minority is still able to maintain it's
 rights in the senate.

THE
Paterson, N. J., Suffers Loss
 of Millions.
MANY FAMILIES MADE HOMELESS
City Stricken by Great Fire Is Now Swept by the Raging Waters. Flood Tn Hudson and Mo-
 hawk Valleys.

PATERSON, N. J., March 1.-The flood that has inundated large part of the mill section of Paterson has sub sided, and it is believed the worst is over, but the damage done is enormous. It is estimated that the loss wrought by the flood is as large as that by the great fire, while it is said there is little or no insurance to cover it. Many more families have been rendered homeless by the flood than were made so by the fire, and the relief commit tee, whose labors were becoming light CT daily, are now hard at work seeking to assist those who have lost every thing.
 The bodies of six men who were drowned by the washing away of 3 bridge leading from Passaic to Dun dee island have not yet been recoy- cred.
 As far as known only two lives have been lost in the city. The victims are Henry Richards, carpenter, and Louis Baum, an congressman. They met death while engaged in the work of rescuing persons from the flood.
 The flood has divided Paterson into two sections, and communication be- tween them is impossible at present. One of the bridges over the river is down, and the approaches to the oth- CTS are deeply submerged. The bridges are for the time being unavailable as means of communication.
 At the armory the scene resembles that on the day after the fire. The relief work under Mrs. Garret A. Hobart's direction is in full swing, and every thing is being done for the homeless that can be. The aldermen met yester- day and considered the situation.
 Not only Paterson, but Passaic and other cities and towns along the Pas eaic river were in total darkness at night owing to the flooding of the elec- tric light and gas plants. Passaic is in a state bordering on panic. Many per- sons were rescued from their homes in boats, scores of which were sent from Newark to cities farther west to aid in the task of rescue.
 The freshet in the Delaware river at South Bordentown is rapidly subsiding, the water having fallen twenty four inches last night. Trains on the Am boy division are running between there and Camden, but the tracks are under water between Bordentown and Tren- ton. Passengers for Trenton continue their journey by trolley.
 Dundee island Is washing away, and dozens of houses have been destroyed. Wellington is all under water, and it is feared the city hall is ruined. The Garfield Pump works are submerged, and the water supply is cut off there. The river is washing new channel through the town. of Wellington, and 1t is feared that when the water sub sides the town will be an island.

Senator Tillman is being lionized to such an extent since his recent 20 with McLaurin that he will probably feel like doing it again the first chance he gets. If the senators would snub the man from the Palmetto state in private as they pretend to on the floor of the senate, it would have more eff feet than striking his name from the roll and restoring it again. Here is what an observer saw immediately after the scene in the senate as told by the Brooklyn Eagle: 'sMcLaurin feels pretty lonesome ill the senate nowadays, but not so Ben Tillman, the ifrepressible. The latter is cheerful to an unusual degree, and has lost none of his confidence or boisterousness by his recent conflict. In fact, he was yesterday the center of a group of seI;- ators that was almost constantly about his desk. Democrats and republicans alike hocked about Tillman. Immedi- ately following the unexpected ad- jounment Senator Frye walked over to TillInan and sat down in a chair next to him. Aldrich and Allison also came over, and the four engaged ill conversation, frequently breaking out into laughing"

chemung River Receding.

ELNIIRA, N. Y, March 1.-The drop in the temperature has improved the flood situation here, the Chemung river having receded to ten feet in depth. The fire engines have been engaged all day in pumping out the cellars of busi- ness places in order that fires might be started in the heating apparatus, but it will take another days pumping before this can be done About 800 families were affected by the flood, and there is much suffering, which is being ale viated as speedily as possible. A meet ing of citizens was held in the city hall and several hundred dollars subscribed to the relief fund and a committee ap- pointed to care for the needs of the sufferers

The committee that investigated Tillman's attack on McLaurin has also been instructed to investigate the charges of Senator Tillman that MT McLaurin was bribed with the promise of the federal patronage of the state to vote for the ratification of the treaty of Paris. As is well known, the junior senator from South Carolina had made a speech in the senate denouncing the treaty, and later, after a call at the White House, he voted for it's ratit1ca- tion. He has since been adopted by the republican caucus and has dictated the federal appointments in his state. The democratic senators declare that the republicans dare not pursue the in vestigation of Mir Tillman's charges and say that no further report will be brought in.

The Hartford Courant makes an able plea for the Bennett plan of rep resentation as proposed by Editor Clark of the Courant. The conyen- ton will wrestle with the several resolutions again this week, and whether the delegates will recede from the position occupied by them. remains to be seen. It looks. and has looked, as though the town repre- sentatives are determined to keep what they have, and if any change is made cut the large towns in the house and add on in the senate. The Cour- ant says: t'Adopt it, (he Bennett 1 plan) and the crisis of the convention is passed. On the other hand. if the convention adopts plan that the peo- 1 pie reject, there is no knowing what | the trouble will be or where it will end. No delegate from a small town looks with more apprehension on the rising sentiment in favor of Mir
 Vance's district system than does the I Courant, but all observers have to ad- init that it is there, and the attitude l of some of the small town leaders has l given it it's impulse.'

Governor Taft, who is now repeating his long story to the house insular com n1ittee, denied in the most positive terms that the Filipinos were coward 1y.
 Does the administration expect the natives of the Danish West Indies to follow the example of the Filipinos and revolt? It was semi-officialy an- .nounced that as soon as the Danish West Indies are formally turned over to the United States, i'll accordance with the treaty that has been ratified by the senate, American troops would be sent to garrison the islands.

HOW TO OuTRUN A BEAR.

"Despite the reputation for feroc- ity that the mountain lion has ac- quired, and perhaps justly, he IS by no means the animal most feared Ry the prospectors and mountaineers Ill my country" said a Colorado man yesterday.
 If a prospector is passing along a trail and he spies a lion in his path, he never even hesitates, for he knows that as soon as the animal sees him it will clear out, providing, always that it is not a female accompanied it is by no means, certain that she will show fight.
 Ut is altogether different with a bear, and if mountaineer sees a bear on his trail he will go around it if he can and if he cannot do that he will wait patiently for Bruin to get out Of the way. You see, the man that has spent years in the hills, as we call the mountaineers out our way, loses much of the ambition of the sportsman, and he never wastes his ammunition just for the pleasure of killing game. When he shoots it is either to get food or for self-protec- tion Consequently he is in no way anxious to start a row with q bear, just because it happens to cross his path. There are several reasons for this, but the principal one is that it is dangerous. Any man who knows about bears will hesitate before de- liberately starting row with one By the way, would you like to know how man on foot can outrun a bear in hilly country if he has a little start on him?.
 Upon being informed that his hear- CT would be very glad to get the in formation, even though he might se- cfetly nope that an opportunity of testing the method would never come. the Westerner continued:
 ou see, a bears forelegs are very short and his conformation is such that, While he can run uphill almost as fast as he can on the flat. he can not run on straight line on the side of hill. So when you are chased Dy bear just run along the sida of the hill. Bears are game and ha Will start after you, but while vou are keeping on straight line bruin VIII De going at an angle down the HI every jump. When you have gone some distance just retrace your steps, and the bear in his efforts to catch you will do the same thinp only to ind that you are getting far thef from him every minute. Ii is great system. I know, for I have seen It worked. I would advise vou 70 try It some time, and if you keen running back and forth long enonoh the bear will disappear from sipht still trying to get at you. ou."-Afilwan,' :, kee Sentinel.

UTICA, N. N, March 4The flood situation on the Mohawk division of the New York Central railroad is the most serious in the history of that road. Near Sprakers 1000 feet of the tracks have been washed away, and it will take several days to repair it. Be tween Little Falls and St. Johnsville there is another serious washout, and for several miles great quantities of ice are piled several feet deep. At Oris- kany about two miles of track are cov- cred with ice. and some of the roadbed has been washed away.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y., March 1.-The water in the Genesee river is very slowly falling, and if the present low temperature continues for a day or two and no more rain falls into the Genesee valley the danger of additional dam- age by flood is probably over. Several fire engines are at work pumping out the basements of large buildings on Main and Exchange streets. All rail- roads are still tied up, with the excep- tion of the New York Central, whose passenger trains are getting through from four to nine hours late.
