The story OF the recent flood would
not be complete without an account
Of Humphreys Boat.
About three years ago d. L.
Humphrey and p. j. stoddard had a
boat made for use on the river ~
was built Of poplar, Is feet long win
oak frame work, and was furnished
with two pairs Of oars, one an ordin'
sry pair, and the other being Aliens
patent bow-iacing oars. 1t proved
very seaworthy craft, but rather
heavy for handling on dry land
They made one trip with 1T from
Minneapolis to Abilene and another
from Sand Springs to Chapman.
Stoddard sold bis hsli Of the boat to
Humphrey and bought canvas boat
which was burned in the City Mills
fire.
After the first food OF May Goth,
the boat was brought down and
launched on Cedar street near the
Methodist church, and that DAY many
q boy and girl had o bost'ride- over
the streets OF Abilene where they
never expected to travel In that man
ner.
When the waters rose again on
Thursday. May 2sth, the boat was
again brought into service and as
sisted In removing several families
who wished to reach higher ground.
That night three boys started with 1t
to 20 up Broadway, but were caught
by the current OF Fourth street,
were wrecked on an ice wagon near
Howard Lofts shop, and there aban'
doned theOboat. Later In the night
when word came that the Hill family
on West Sixth street was in danger
the boat was manned with five young
men, Jesse Elston, Carl Smith, Claude
Hilton, Bert Dyer and M. Keller
With five working at the oars they
thought sure they could stem the
current which was running through
the town, but when they struck the
water at the corner Of Broadway and
Fourth street, they were carried east
and were eapsized at the telephone
pole north OF JeiIcoat's livery barn.
Elston and Smith SWAN out to Mrs,
Kings house but the other three boys
passed the night on the telephone
pole where they kept warm by climb
up and down and taking turns sitting
on the crossltrees above.
Friday morning word came that
,.the family Of Joseph Sexton was in
danger. and the boat was again
brought into service. Charles Dyer
and H. L. Humphrey went south on
Buckeye, but learning that the Sex
son family had been rescued. they
went west to the Jones place, where
they removed that family which had
been driven to a little attic OF their
one story home. The boys also called
at the Landis. ). n. Engie. Herbst
and Lacey places and assisted in re-
moving people from them. The
strongest current which they fonnd
was In the road near d. r. Gorden's
feed lot, which they were unable to
stem, even with two pair Of oars.
In the afternoon word came that
Isaac Kobi's family was perched on
the roof Of the house. and Sheriff
Baker started with the boat TO rescue
them. John Humbargar and OFT
Chrismau launched the boat west OF
the Yonally farm and passed down
through a very strong, treacAerous
current to reach che Kobi house. only
TO End that the family had escaped
the night before.
Before the boat had returned from
this last expedition Sherwood Murphy
had met his death in the current
which surged through the trees above

new PASTOR INSTALLED
REV. c, r. DERR WELCOMED At SEC
OND ENGLISH LUTHERAN.
Little south Side Church Has Flour
ished in Past Three Nears-Inter-
esting Addresses.

Services formally installing the new pastor
of the Second English Lutheran Church,
at the corner of Hosbrook street and Wood
lawn avenue, were held yesterday morning.
The Rev. c. +. Derr, of Cleveland, O., is
the new pastor. Although he has been act
ing as pastor since July l, his installation
was not observed until yesterday.
The address TO the pastor was delivered
by the Rev. f. G. Gotwald of Cleveland,
o., whose subject was 1.-The Duties of the
Pastor to His Parish" The second address
was by the Rev. w. s. Sigmund and was
delivered to the congregation, his subject
being, 1.-The Duties of the Parish to the
Pastor Besides the two sermons, the
services consisted of special music by the
choir of fifteen voices and several violin
solos. The services were well attended and
the church filled to its capacity. Even
ing services were held at 7:30 O'Clock, at
which short talks were given by both the
Rev Gotwald and Rev. Sigmund and by
the pastor, Rev. Derr.
The Second English Lutheran Church is
a fiourishing little church on the South
Side with a congregation of about 100 men,
bers. 1t has been without regular pas
tor since last February, although Rev. Derr
has had charge of the services during the
summer. He is much liked by the parish
and recently was invited to be the perma-
nent pastor and accepted. The church is
comparatively new, having been built about
three years ago, in which time it has grown
steadily.

POLITICS And HONESTY
REV. w. $. RAIDER SAYS THE TWO
ARE HARDLY COMPATIBLE.
Law-Abiding Citizens Are Cipher
i'm Most Cities of the Country.
He Declares.

The Rev. w. S. RAIDER made plea for
good municipal government last night at
the Madison-avenue NJ. E. Church. 1.-The
practice of vote buying" said the speaker.
makes it hardly possible for a man to be
in politics and be honest. He must make
concessions to the saloon element. There
is growing disregard for law and order
throughout the larger cities-we see this in
business, in society and even in the church.
The Sabbath is becoming holiday instead
of holy day.
This tendency" he continued, lis the
greatest danger to municipal government.
One of the most alarming facts" said Mr..
RAIDER. about the element controlling the
affairs of the larger cities is that it has no
regard for conscience. Law-abiding citi-
zens are a cipher in municipal government.
For every three men who are endeavor-
ing to make better conditions and better
citizens there are sixteen trying to draw
men down. fill our jails and debauch our
city governments. Nine-tenths of the ma
chinery of the city government is devoted
TO the enforcement of the law. No man
should be mayor of indianapolis who has
not proper respect for law and in favor of
civic righteousness. L do not consider the
administration of city affairs a political
question. There should be party politics
in the adjustment of our municipal affairs
1t is simply trying TO clean up our own
door yards and reject the vicious and dam
gerous that would dominate and rule. Take
the candidates for mayor and look them
over and decide which one, if elected, will
stand for the most rigid enforcement of the
law-that is the man to vote for. When II
becomes known that the people of Indanap-
oils demand enforcement of the law, the
politics of the mayor will not matter. There
are enough good people to control affairs
if they do not divide along party lines and
allow those TO control who have no desire
to have the law enforced. If this happens
the better people are themselves to blame.
You can't blame the gamblers and sports
for running things if stay away and
allow them TO gain control.

George Moore, in Lippincotts Magazine.
Every generation pours thousands of wom-
en- into the art SCHOOLS, and after a few
years they marry and art is forgotten. Such
was the fate of Jane. L cannot trust my
self to tell you James story, you must hear
il from Tonks. The moment of Tonk
life is when he stretches out his long legs
in front of the fire and says: Jane de-
stroyed all belief in women as artists
am paid to teach them. and / teach them,
but believe I'm their artistic future, no, not
after James failure" Jane was a Slade
pupil for three years, and was spoken OF
as a genius in all our conversations 1t
was contended that she would darken
Rembrandts glory. No one knew exactly
what Jane would do, but we were sure she
would do something. Tonks looked upon
her as Catholics look upon the Virgin, as
one who would intercede for him if his own
art failed; she would give him all immor-
tally by proxy. But James marriage over
threw his immortal hopes, and now she
draws TO please her little boy.

THAT SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM
So Experimental that It's Test Will
He Years Ahead.

New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.
There has been some mistaken view as
to the purpose of Mr.. Pulitzer and to
the work which President Butler had in
mind. There is no expectation that young
men will place themselves in the depart
ment of journalism at Columbia, pass
through the curriculum, receive the diploma
or degree and then stand before the world
as accomplished journalists. All that is
expected is this, that there may be much
mental training and such especial prepara-
ton in the greater fields OF knowledge and
especially applied to the presentation
of news and its treatment as would enable
any young man of fair abilities to serve any
newspaper with which he was connected
well and would fortify, strengthen and
stimulate the young men OF ability and
industry that there would be instant
recognition of his fitness and there would
be speedy reflection of his special gifts in
the columns of any newspapers with which
he connected.
OF the Newspaper profession, and 1t is
hoped. that the advance of the newspaper
press and the character of the service it
does may cause IL universally to be recog-
nized a profession, IL is felt by Presi-
dent Butler that it may be said as Lord
my field" for it is recognized that not
day passes that special and trained
knowledge in every department OF The
worlds activity. even In the morai sciences,
are of the highest service to any newspap per.
and il is the sense the perception, that
a newspaper does speak first accurately
and then with authority. which in the opin-
ion of President Butler is the chief agency
of the press, not merely in giving that
which forms the basis of public opinion,
but in actually forming opinion.
There are of course, the subsidiary and
yet highly important subjects of treatment
for il is often the treatment of news the
presenta ton of IL that causes IL to attract.
TO leave an impression upon the mind or
TO be forgotten, and there ace the many
commercial and mechanical aspects of
newspaper making which also 10 be
carefully considered.
1t is not the expectation that immediate
results will be secured. President Butler
is of opinion that IL may require ten or
fifteen years before the experiment has
been thoroughly worked out. They are I'm

who are TO have the first fine fruits OF this
new educational undertaking. AT present

A woman whose husband often extols
the steak which he occasionally eats at
certain high priced restaurant and wishes,
after the manner of husbands it were
possible to duplicate ii at his own table,
investigated the matter for herself to
discover, If possible. the secret of the
highly praised and distinctive flavor of the
meat. She found that the thick porter
house steak was laid between thin slices of
beef cut from the round. On these garlic
was freely rubbed, and the beef sandwich
put in the broiler over a clear hot fire. AS
the meat cooked and was frequently turned
the juices of the upper slices saturated the
middle piece, carrying the garlic flavor dis
guised as a delicious aroma impossible to
classify that of onion. When the por-
terhouse is nearly cooked the layers of beef
are taken of and the steak quickly Drowned
sprinkled with chopped parsley, butter and
lemon juice, and served at once. The
meat covers are useless after this service
as they are hard and dry, the high
price of the steak on the restaurant menu
Is, perhaps. not unreasonable. The in

cess could not be a frequent one in her
kitchen, but for special occasions it has
been tried with marked success. strong

is not used a little charcoal added to the
