How awful still it seems to be since moth

 as before, 1t makes the only noise except the creakin'
 of the door: When come in the house alone it kind of

 behold ghost. Her knittin's layin' there just where she put
 1t on the shelf; The broom stands in the corner where she
 set it back herself It's all just as it was the day she left me
 here alone, The albums on the stand there with my
 picture and her own, Her Bibles where she left 1t, marked where
 she was readin' last, And set here and think how slow the
 times a|draggin' past. \ feel as though, somehow. I'd got on some
 lone island where The lonesomeness was thick enough to see

SIXTY SEVEN RESCUED
From the Randolph End of the NH

From the Randolph End of the Mill
 waukee Railroad Bridge.
 Kansas City, June 3.-Sixty seven people rescued by a steamer from the Randolph end of the Milwaukee rail road bridge, five miles below this city, have been brought here. Among them were passengers from St Joseph and Grand Island train which arrived at the north end of the Milwaukee bridge at S:3O o'clock Sunday night, and from a Burlington train from Chicago which was due here Sunday afternoon. Among the stranded passengers were a number Of prominent residents of Kansas City. One of them, Judge w. F. Hall, said: t.
 'EWhen we reached the Milw aukee bridge Sunday night the engineer and conductor feared to cross on account of the reported damage to the piers, and held the train there all night. Mon day morning the train returned to St Joseph, leaving about twenty-five of Us at Randolph. We hoped to cross the river in boats. Sunday night we slept in the train and Monday night at some farm houses nearby. We had plenty to eat and suffered nothing but inconvenience. We could see the city in the distance, but could not get a word of news about the f1ood.'

Useful Information.

Here is familiar one: When the boots become water soaked, fill them with oats or barley so they will not shrink in drying. When very thirsty and only small amount of water is at hand, drink it with spoon or a canteen. It will do as much good as when taken in large mouthsful. Boil putrid water in charcoal before drinking Indians purify all waters by plunging hot irons and rocks into them. When an Indian is cold he builds 8 small fire and huddles over it; 8 white man builds a big fire and cannot get near it. When you wish to roll up your shirt sleeves do not turn the cuffs inside out, but turn them inward or under and they will remain tucked up without being touched. When you want to climb a tree unite the feet with dampened towel or raveled rope so that their distance apart shall be about two- thirds the diameter of the trunk N. Y. Press.
