cash business, with the money usually In
small sums, as few of the toys they try
to sell cost over % cents. Some go to a
half dollar, but they are the exception.
One of the test novelties sent out early
in the season is a toy called the Columbus
egg. 1t looks like a small glass cover for
flowers, and inside of 1t is a wooden egg
so arranged that 1t turns and tumbles
about in a most puzzling manner. The
purpose Of the trick is to make the egg
stand on its small end in a little hollow
place inside the glass arrangement 1t
is a battling trick, and is said to be talk
Ing well.
One Puzzle of the Season.
Another novelty on the same order is
-Four Blind Mice The mice are gunshot
inclosed in a glass tube half an inch in
diameter and, two inches long. This is
divided In half by a piece of wood pierced
by four holes just large enough to pass
the shot.
The hole in the middle of the wood leads
into a tube whose circumference is that
Of the opening, which runs half the length
of the large tube inclosing 1t. You catch
the mice If you can induce all four. to
drop into the inner tube. 1t is hard TO get
even one mouse into it's pen, for they
persist in falling through the three holes
that do not lead into the inner tube.
A novelty that is bound to cause much
laughter and some surprise bears the name
of Shooting Flowers" There is a paper
tube nine inches long and nearly an inch
in diameter. A dozen paper flowers, small
roses, and carnations built on prickly
burrs accompany a tube.
If you want to give your sweetheart a
bouquet or your chum a b~outonniere, stuff
a flower, burr end first, into an end of the
tube; aim the tube at the person you in
tend honoring, blow on the end into which
you stuffed the token, and lo! it will make
its appearance in all it's glory on corsage'
or lapel, where the burr will hold 1t fast.

BACK IN WASHINGTON.
The President Returns From his Trip Through
the West
(By the Associated Pess.)


Washington, June 5.-President Roose-
welt returned to Washington tonight from
his memorable trip of over two months
throughout the West. He was given a
hearty reception by the people OF the
capital, who lined the sidewalks as his
carriage, escorted by the battalion OF
High School cadets was driven to the
White House. The President cordially re-
sponded to the greetings given him and
repeatedly stood up in his carriage and
waved his hat and bowed his acknowledge
ments. He looked the picture OF health
The President spent a very few min
utes in exchanging greetings with the
officials assembled at the station. He
talked longer with Postmaster General
Payne than with any of the Others the
latter throwing his arms about the Presl-
dent and apparently whispering to him.
The President, accompanied by Captain
Cowles in full uniform, then entered a
carriage and with his party was escorted
by the battalion of High School cadets
along Pennsylvania avenue to the White
House grounds.
One of the remarkable features of the
trip just completed was the non-partisan
spirit displayed in the reception OF the
President everywhere. Democrats as we'll
as Republican mayors, united IN extending
him a welcoming hand. While at Spring
field Ills, former Vice-president Steven
son rode in the carriage with the Presl-
dent. The crowds in the different places
visited were orderly and friendly and
gave the secret service men nCCle cause
for concern.

Mr.. Wilder then moved that the board

Mr.. Andrews made substitute motion
that the members go into caucus to nomi-

Alderman johnson said he did not think
they ought to go into caucus for every
thing they did. I'VE are all Democrats, .
said he, ''and ] don't believe that any
man here is afraid to let people know how
he votes" There had been too much eau
cusing already. and too much division.
Mr.. Andrews contended that the caucus
was customary.
Mr.. Wilder agreed with Mr. Johnson,
saying he did not believe in these eau
cuses.
Mr.. Crocker said that Mr. Wilder had
been on the board Jour years and had
never before objected to caucus.

The question was put on Mr.. Andrews

Mr.. Habel called for the ayes and noes
on the substitute.
The vote was the mine" against the
Seven in favor of Mr.. Andrews substi-

suit was announced and Mr.. Habel re

their. caucus, but they were out over halt

THE RISING FLOOD
Buildings Along St. Louis
River Front Abandoned.
The Waters Burst through the Levee at Mad
son, and the People Of West
Granite Fly.
nv the Associated Press.l


st. Louis, Mo-, June 5.-The great flood
that is sweeping down the Mississippi IS
steadily increasing in volume, and is now
being felt in st. Louis and vicinity to an
alarming extent.
The stage of water reached S4.2 feet to-
night. a rise of 10 OF foot today. Gov
eminent Forecaster Bowie tonight issued
a bulletin predicting a stage of 80 feet by
tomorrow noon, 36 feet by Sunday and 81
feet on Monday The Mississippi north OF
the mouth OF the Missouri is still rlslEg,
but the rapidity OF the rise has been de-
minished because of breaks in levees. No
reports of loss of life have been received.
The flood forced a passage through the
levee at Madison, H., just north of st.
Louis. This levee is fifteen miles long
and for days men have been working TO
strengthen it, but the river found weak
point in a sewer main and the water
broke through like a geyser West
Granite, town of 1000 people, is located
in a depression between the levee and a
railroad embankment Ample warning
had been given and the inhabitants sought
safety when the deluge came. 1t is be
lieved all escaped.
The streets of Venice. opposite st. Louis
are waterways and the inhabitants &c
about in boats.
In St. Louis the buildings along the
river front have practically been abandon
cd and the first floors are more than q
foot under water, which stands tonight
two feet deep on the top of the steam.

families living near the mouth of the
River Des Peres were forced to leave their
houses today.
