Dr. Charles D. McIver, president
of tho North Carolina State Normal
and Industrial College. told story OF
rural pessimlsm at dinner given by
Robert c. Ogden in honor Of the Gen
eral and Southern Education Boards.
There was once a North Carolina
countryman, he said, who had an
idea that gayety was synonymous
with evil, an idea that he inculcated
into his family life. 1t came to pass
that the man committed murder and
was sentenced to be hanged. Now
in that part of the world the only
chances for amusement We're in going
to hangings or travelling circuses.
When the day on which he was to be
executed approached, the condemned
man wrote a note to his wife, saying:
Don't let the children come to the
hanging. l know you'll be there, but
do please keep the little ones away.
ITO this the wife replied:
Its just like you to ask what you
do. You never die want the children
to have any fun.

a force of some 10000 men who will
be chiefly employed in strengthening
the troops along the frontier.

Feet OF Snow Reported at
NInot, N. ID. - The Loss
Will be Enormous.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 15.--Snow and
rain have damaged crops in the north
west during the past week to the eX.
tent of millions of dollars. Nearly
all the grain in shock, estimated at sc
per cent, and all the standing grain,
much of it fax, is buried under snow
and water. The rainfall has been
eight inches in 4S hours. Rain and
sleet and snow prevail all over the
northwest. Railroad tracks are wash
ed out and trains are abandoned. The
trains from the Pacific coast have
been pushing slowly through deep
snow for two days and are from ten
to 90 hours late.
The Great Northern flyer due here
at 1910 Sunday night did not arrive
until o'clock Monday morning, hav-
ing been delayed by storms in the
west.
A washout at Rollingstone, north
of Minneapolis, forced the Great
Northern to abandon it's line on the
west side of the Mississippi river to

! Sunday or Monday over that track,
the coast trains and those from the
| Willmar division. being run via St.

of the river.
Beginning with the heavy rain
| storm Friday night and early Satur-
day morning, there has been an al.
most continuous downpour over
/ Minnesota. Iowa and the Dakotas ad
sections of Nebraska. The wide
spread damage of the first storm has
been followed by incessant washouts,
and in every direction tracks are in
bad condition and the operation of
trains requires the utmost precau-
! tions.
Sparta, Wis, Sept. 15.-A terrific
thunder and rain storm struck this
section of the state Sunday night and
added to the distressingly wet condi-
tions prevailing. Streets were flood
ed and much damage was done TO
bridges and country highways. Farm
work is practically at standstill in
this section. For three weeks scarce
ly any threshing has been done.
Minot. S. D., Sept. 1.-two feet Of
snow covers the ground and trains
are greatly delayed. A special from
| Kenmdre, \. D.. says one foot of
snow covers the ground, with snow
still falling. 1t is said to be the worst
storm in three years. At Medira, y.
d., the snow is ten inches deep.
Menominee, Wis, Sept 15.-The
heaviest rain storm of many years
occurred here, the rain coming down
III torrents for IL hours. This whole
farming region is flooded and extern
sive damage has been done. Thou
sands of acres of unstocked grain
have been covered with water and
much of it ruined. Potatoes are ruin
ed in the ground. 1t is estimated
that at least eight inches of water
has fallen in the last 60 hours.
