THE CRISIS PASSED.
No Further Rise of Water at East ST.
LOuis-FiOOd Losses in
Kansas.

East st. Louis, H., June 12.-That
;he crisis of the flood situation in East
st. Louis has passed so far as this city
is concerned is generally accepted as
fact by the citizens. Since the disas-
trous break in the Illinois Central levee
the Hood has made no dangerous
breaks, although a portion of the Bal
:lmore d Ohio embankment gave way
Wednesday night, and the flood area
was further increased by seepage
Thursday. No one could be found with
anything like a definite idea of the
property loss. Vague mention of mil
lions of dollars" was the nearest even
the best-informed citizens could come
10 it, There was a general disposition,
however, to accept minimum reports
of loss of life, rather than the stories
originating in the excitement of the
moment, when the flood poured in.
One prominent undertaken averred
that there had been no loss of life di-
rectly in the flood, although there had
been deaths later due indirec city to the
overflow. There were no reports of
6rownings Thursday, nor were any
bodies recovered
Topeka, Kan, June 9.-Kansas
has suffered as result of the recent
floods more than any other state.
No exact figures of the loss sustained
can, of course, be given. but those
who have an intimate knowledge of
the floods have been making esti-
mates, and the conclusions that they
have reached may be considered fair
" reliable. The damage done in the
principal cities and towns is estimat

wheat Not So Badly Injured.

Topeka, Kan, June 13.-OfficiaI re-
ports received by State Employment
Agent Gerow from Kansas counties
show that the injury done the Kansas
wheat crop by the flood is not nearly
so serious as at first reported. Some
counties report that the conditions
have improved and that they will need
a large number of men to assist in the
harvest. The total number of men
needed from outside the state is small
er, but Kansas will not be able to har-
vest this years crop unaided.

thin, their length being about twice
that of the figure. Shape them neatly
and then smooth them off with sand
paper; indeed, the whole figure should
be smoothed off in that way.
AS the figure is to be balanced on the
cork of an upright bottle tits necessary
that the wings should be of exactly the
same weight, and that they should be
placed on exactly opposite sides Of the
bust. Remember this in making the
Sits in which the wings are to be fitted.
Of course this picture represents a
painted figure and not plain white
pine one. Most boys have a box of
water colors, and they can be used to
paint the figure. It is better to put on
light scat Of varnish after the paint
dries. This will keep it from rubbing
off.
The effect Of such figure as it turns
around on its perch is very amusing
and its oddity makes it attractive

The very lowest estimate that can
be made of the loss done to crops is
$4,000, 000. Owing to the lateness of
the season and the condition of the
SOIL it is very doubtful if any profit
will be drawn during the remainder
Of the year from the farms which
were inundated. AS a consequence
there Will be a great deal of individ-
ual want and suffering among farm
ers, upon whom the blow fell heay-
lest.
Dallas. Tex, June ia dispatch
to the News from FL Paso. Tex, saws:
Twelve bodies of flood victims have
been recovered at Clifton, Ariz.. but
the death list generally is placed at
81. Many of the bodies will never be
recovered, although hundreds of men,
including many of the striking miners,
are engaged in the search. The rush
of waters bore most of the bodies
from Chase creek into the San Fran
cisco river. SO fierce is tie current,
that the bodies will be carried far down
the stream or will be covered by wreck
age. Narrowing tales of death are
brought in by people living along
Chase creek, one man reporting that
he counted y people struggling in the
water and believes that all of them
were lost. One Mexican woman lost
five children, who were swept away
with the wreckage of her hut. none of
the bodies having been recovered.
Every available able-bodied man has
been pressed into service clearing away
the wreckage in the hope that the bod
les of missing may be recovered.
Clifton had her hero on horse ba OK, sim
liar to the man who rode down the
valley of Johnstown, Pa, on horse
back and warned the people of the
impending danger. The Clifton hero
rode at breakneck speed five minutes
ahead of the torrent, and shouted to
the settlers to flee to higher ground.
His warning saved hundreds of lives.

Where children always love TO play.
The hill is straight and smooth and low;
For little Gollks it's better so.
The coasting there is very nice,
Without the cold Of snow and ice;
Y ou slide in summer, fall or spring.
But need not bother sleds to bring
It is the safest hill I've found;
Sometimes you tumble to the ground,
But it's not far you have to fall
And would not hurt a child at all.
It's very near your home, and so
Your ~,nther'u always let you go,

So up you scramble, down you slide,
And oh, you have a jolly ride!
You always want to play some more

ssBe Good to YOURSELF

''Be good to yourself is a phrase
that is often said when friends sepa-
rate. It is jocularly spoken. as
though there were some humor in it.
The idea of ones being good to him
self somehow provokes a smile. But
why should it? Surely, if one should
be good to anybody it should be to
himself. When they utter the injunc-
ton many put into it the idea that
one shall have, as they would express
it, as good time" as possible. But
if one is really good to himself he
may have to turn his back upon
pleasures. The man whose weakness
is drinking cannot DE good to himself
without giving it up. And so with
relation to anything harmful, being
good to ones self means that he will
have nothing to do with it. To be
Of the highest good to ones self one
must be inwardly good; and to be
good one must be godly.-Wellsping.

Wednesday nights tragedy. Primary
among them was the kings marriage.
Queen Draga's attempt to manipulate
the political situation; the arrogant
behavior of the queens relatives; the
hostile feeling that the Russian court
manifested in its refus to receive the
Seryian queen, and the financial sit
uation which prevented the regular
payment of the officers salaries, all
combined to bring about the terrible
end of the O1renovitch rule. But all
this fails to explain sufficiently
