After eating we were ready for sbeep. We went to our house to find an the women of the house waiting to put us to bed It seems to be the correct thing to put 8 guest safely to bed, and there they were waiting for us to undress and to put the pillows under OUT heads and cover us up.

The native race is not strong one with regard to the pertinacity of ra- cial characteristics. The quadroon in the United States is unmistakably ne- gro in part.

erman's heart of Frank McGonigla an ache. For he had come as near loving the widow as he has ever come near to loving a woman since his mother.
 His first thought when the lsvee broke was of the widow and her chiI- dren, and he at once turned his prov prised tb find the people panic-strick- en, for, being a fisherman, he has had many opportunities to see the mortal terror of landsmen at the sight of wa ter spreading over 8 dry country. Panic seizes upon them at the sight of an oncoming wave, This he knew, but foot high. This he knew, but he didn' t want the widow frightened. He thought of her alone with the children, and the fear struck him that she might, per haps, have been terrified to the point of starting out in the dark night and the spread of waters. Then who could tell what might happen?
 There was light in the widows house. But there was light in every house, for that matter, and the col onel's house across what was once the street from the windows had several lights in it, and he could see them moving about in. it upstairs and down. Panic, panic, everywhere! He could hear the voices of women and children crying in the night He could hear the voices of men shouting. At last he heard his boat hailed, and he knew it for the voice of the colonel himself Stop that boat" it cried, "and TIL give you $100 to take us over to St Louis g The colonel and his family would have used his little skiff. It,was atempting offer, but what of the widow? He had about made up his mind to take the colonel and his family aboard. and come back after the widow. when the window of the little house went up, and a loud lament of little voices, joined to a woman's' wall of fear, arose. The widow leaned out and looked across the water to where, in the wavering lights, she could see a boat with man in it. Help. help!'' she screamed, For me and my children will drown!"
 "A hundred dollars for the skiff. '' shouted the colonel in 8 hoarse voice, which showed that he was as badly frightened as the widow.
 "Oh, I have no money" cried the widow, in an agonized voice, E'but save my children and I'll give you kiss. '
 The boatman hesitated no longer but headed his boat for the widows house.
 What" roared the colonel, wont you take ns?"
 ''Ill come back after you," said Frank McGonigle.

HE MIMICKED THE BIRDS.
whtstTing Boy Charms a Passing Lady with Ills Excellent
 limitations.

As the lady came down the street on a fine May morning, she heard a Baltimore oriole whistle. She hadn't heard one for a long, long time-and never in the city-so she stopped to listen. The oriole whistled again, pIaintively and sweetly, then boy came around the corner. It was a boy-a ten-year-old boy, with soft brown eyes and curly hair-not too clean, and a bit ragged, says the De- troit Free Press.
 ssWas that you initiating the oriole7" said the pleased lady. "Do it again. I love to hear the oriole.' 2
 But the boy was shy, and got be- hind a telephone pole.
 Gan you whistle like a bob white ?" the lady asked. "Oh, do whistle like a bob white. I'll give you a dime if you'll whistle like g bob white Where did you learn to initiate birds?"
 Still the silent boy hid behind the telephone pole. t
 "Weu, I must go,' the lady said "But I'll leave this dime on the curb stone, and I know that before I get very far away, you'll whistle like a bob white, won't you?"
 The boy made no answer from be- hind the pole, and the lady walked on. Halfway down the block she heard another bird. It said: Bob white-bob white," high and clear Of course, she stopped, and looked around. There at the corner was the boy, walking away from her. But he was looking back over his shoulder, and as long as she could see him, she heard the note: Bob Mhite-bob white."

The German Wedding Appetite.

A German paper, the Frankish Courier, in giving an account of the wedding of Herr Joseph Pfeffer to Fraulein Josepha HanshofeE, says that about 260 persons sat down to dinner after the ceremony. The guests were served with $500 pounds of meat, 2sO buildings and ITO gallons of beer. That is about 2s pounds of meat, one pud- ding and 251a gallons of beer per head "a very fair allowance even for peo- pie with such good capacities as the Germans.

TALE OF THE FLOOD.
McG Gonigle Preferred Widows Kiss
 to Hard Dollars.
Am Incident of the Recent Rise of Wa ters fm East St. Louis-ColomeA Had to Put His Impa4fence
 on Ice.

This is the story of fisherman, as told by the. St. Louis Globe-Democrat Sometimes you can find his boat lay creek, and sometimes you can find Frank McGonigle himself, drinking at the Red house when he ought to be watching his lines. But as this is not sermon but story, all that must pass. When the water got to the dan- ger line Frank McGonigle quit fishing and went to doing what good he could in saving life and property. He had a good staunch skiff and one that he could navigate in any water. What was more, and better, he knew every turn and twist in all the waters that make East St Louis look something like ancient Venice whenever there is such a rise there as they have had this time. The city is not nearly so yene- tian in that way as 1t was 20 years ago, and 1t takes the very highest kind of water to make the new East St. Louis remind you of the old. But when the river rises as it did this time it seems to remember the old lines of least resistance, and although now they have offered much more resistance than of old, 1t is in the old places still that you find the most water.
 - We'll, Frank McGonigle remembered all of them, and he remembered, also their depths and shallows. He could get his boat in and out of places where no other boatman with boat of equal draught could think of going. So when the tide was at the full he could still go to places where the ground was not wholly safe that no one else could go. The water, on it's way toward the quar- ters of the city where some families of wealth and social position live, had en- gulfed the poor little shack" of Widow Lavin to that exent that she and her children were suffering. There was no fear of their drowning. The water could not get high enough for that, away back there. but when he thought of her suffering it gave the honest fish,

Prominent Politicians Have q Way
Around the Primary Elec-
tion Law.
They Would Have Convention
Clear the Field for
Congressman.

Leading republicans say it was the
primary election law that defeated
the republican candidate for congress
in this county last year. BY stirring
up feeling within the party it created
disaffection and made the election Of
John Lind possible. B.
Plans are already on foot to- pre-
vent a repetition Of this occurrence.
In the natural course of events there
Will be from two to half a dozen can
dldates fighting for the nomination
next fall, and another era Of bitter
feeling will be stirred up to make
trouble for the one who wins at the
primaries. The plan is to have only
one candidate at the primarys cleo
ton, and to have the party behind
him for months before. When the
first county convention is held, IN
connection with the state convention
to select delegates to the national
convention, the effort will be made
to commit the party definitely to one
candidate for congress. This indorse-
ment will then be insisted on as
binding, and all other aspirants will
be notified to stay out Of the field.
i 1t is generally understood that
Loren Fletcher intends to be a candi-
date again, and his friends are already
urging that republicans drop all diff
ferences and present a united front
for Fletcher. Those who opposed
Uncle Loren in the primaries last
year are little slow to warm I'D to
the proposition, and . say that d
stronger candidate can be selected.
They say that the Endorsement idea is
q Fletcher scheme, intended to keep
out all other candidates. However, it
Is being worked hard, and Is finding
considerable favor.

HALL STANDS PAT J
Enemies Of Health Commissioner
Make Charges, and the Latter
Courts Investigation.
Matter Of Collection Of Fees for In.
specting Private Hospitals Is
Stirred Up.


Enemies Of Health Commissioner
p. M. Hall are again seeking to make
him trouble thru the grand jury. This
body has received several anonymous
notes in which charges are made
the inspection OF private hospitals.
Whenever the grand jury wants any
information on this matter, DIR. Hall
says he will supply it. He has coli
1ected fees for this work, but is
properly authorized to do 50 by
chapter 106, general laws Of 1901,
prepared by the Children's Aid society
to promote the health and welfare of
infants born and cared for in other
places than the homes Of their par
ents. This action was made neces-
sary by abuses at private maternity
hospitals and "baby FARMS"
Under the law these places are re-
quired to obtain permits from the
health department and to be inspected
annually. For the permit and the
inspection, fee Of 50 may be col
lected, and DR.. Hall has collected sew
eral such fees annually.
He has done more, for several I'M
scrupulous persons who were osten-
sibly conducting private hospitals, but
really profiting by the misfortunes of
their patients, have been driven out
of business as the result of the in
spections, and one man is now serv-
ing a sentence Of six years in Still
water for criminal practices.
In this matSsr as well as all others
connected with his department DR..
Hall declares that he welcomes an
investigation.

TO IMPROVE THE CRAFT
Horseshoers Seek to Have Rigid

Passed.

In. its determination to secure the

In several states laws compel the
