one to pick it up. OF course this WAS
long ago Pat had soon become disil-
lusionized and was always glad to get
hold of odd jobs which woGld net him
little something to help him keep
body and soul together. Finally, be-
coming tired of the struggle. he de
cided to end it all and was very indus
triously tying rope around his waist
when his landlord happened in on him,
After watching him curiously for u
few minutes he asked:
What's up, Pat? What are you try
ing to do?'
'"Troyin' to choke meself, av co0rse,"

Possibly it has not occurred to many

The Mississippi 4oO, 900 Years Ago.

The Mississippi 400, 900 Years Ago.
Did you ever figure on what was the
probable condition Of the great Mis-
gissippi river 10000, 100000 or even
100000 years ago? Scientists suggest
that the erosion Of it's bed was ac-
complished by a mighty cataract,
which began far down the river, prob
ably at the place where it then emp
tied into the gulf, and by gradual re-
PROGRESSION dug out the. valleylike
gorge through which it now flows.
That this theory is tenahle may be in
ferred from the high, wall-like bluffs,
features so characteristic Of the upper
part Of its course.
A wearing away of monster cata-
ract would Of course necessarily leave
high walls or bluffs ON either side.
These are the well known features Of
the father Of meandering streams. It
would seem, according to this theory,
that st. Anthony's falls constitute the
remnant Of what was once the most
stupendOus cataract in the world. Ge-
ologists estimate that 1t has taken the
river 100000 years to carve out the
mighty ditch through which it now
flows.
