Our Lost Treasure.

saw my wife pull out the bottom
drawer of the old bureau this
morning and | went softly out and
wandered up and down until / knew
she had shut it and gone to her
sewing. We have something, laid
away in that drawer which the gold
OF the king cannot buy, and yet
they are relics which grieves us
until our hearts are sore. | haven't
dared look at them for year but 1
remember each article. There were
two worn out shoes, little chip hat
with part of the brim gone, some
stockings, pantaloons, a coat, two
or three spools, bits of broken china
and some toys. Wife, poor thing,
goes to that drawer every day of
her life, prays over it and lets the
tears fall over the precious keep
sakes, but | dare not go. Some
times we speak Of the little one but
not often. 1t has been long time
since he left us, but somehow we
cannot get over grieving, it is so
still now. | look up at the window
where his blue eyes used to sparkle
at my coming, but he was not there.
listen tor his pattering feet, his
merry shout and ringing laugh,
but there is no sound; there is no
one to search my pockets and tease
me for PRESENTS; never find the
chairs turned over, the broom down,
nor ropes tied to the door knobs. 1
want someone to ask me for my
knife, to ride my shoulders, TO lose
my axe, to follow me to the gate and
call good night from the little bed,
now empty. And my wife, she
misses him still more, his affection
ate caresses, the many little cares
she gladly endured for his sake
and she would gladly give her own
life almost to wake at midnight and
see her boy sweetly sleeping in his
little bed, the peaceful slunbers of
innocent childhood, as of the past
when our family circle was I'M
broken.-Selected.

EAST ST. LOUIS FLOOD
MISSISSIPPI MANDATES ILLINOIS
TOWN IN EARLY MORNING.

ST. Louis, June 10.-Word was re-
the water is rushing into East st.
Louis from the south side in torrent
and people are fleeing for their lives.
The heavy pressure OF the flood tore
away the Illinois Central embank-
ment, swept other barriers aside and
flowed on in torrent to the southern
portion of the city. One report has it
that the entire city is being flooded.
The business portion Of the city is
! from two to six feet below the flood
level and If the water pours through
the streets property loss will be heavy
and many lives may be lost. With
an uneXpectednesS astounding to
the tired citizens of East st. Louis,
the Mississippi food, which began to
receGe after reaching stage OF 37.5
feet, began rapid rise and reached
q stage of 1915 feet, establishing the
highest official water mark ever re-
corded in ST. Louis. The rise was
rapid after the dawn of day, the water
creeping up from 81 feet where
the recession during the latter part of
the night had placed the stage, stead
| lily regaining lost ground and increas-
| Ing until the stage had reached 1915
fleet, where il remained stationary.
What has caused the rise is problem
atioal. Forecaster Bowie advances
the theory that the water that has
spread out through the broken levees
to the north is being drawn back into
the channel by the receding water
! and has caused temporary rise at
this point He says the rise will be
of short duration and the decline will
consequently be rapid. A report has
been current that nine persons were
drowned by the capsizing Of boat
near the Madison railroad depot.
1t is estimated that 5000 refugees
have found shelter in ST. Louis and
vicinity. People remaining in their
flooded houses in the inundated dis
tricts are being furnished with food
as rapidly as possible. 1t is esti-
mated that 1000 people are still liv-
ing in flooded homes in Granite City,
Venice and Madison. A supply boat
has been Quilted and will daily make
trips to relieve suffering.
Reports are constantly being re-
ceived that river thieves are footing
ubmsrged houses of the three strick.
On cities north of East St. Louis.

TONS:

All Help to Clean Topeka.

Topeka, KAN June 10.-In obedi-
ence to a proclamation by the mayor,
many OF the most prominent business
and professional men of the city
worked all day shoveling mud and
side This is stupendous task.
Many buildings which escaped being
wrecked by the flood are now in dan
ger of being ruined by the mud which
they collected and which is crushing
out the floors. At no time during the
food was the property loss exagger-
ated, as twill be something enormous.
The fnE force of the flood is only now
being. felt.

Why remain in the North and stay

Stunning what you raise during the
other six months? Go South where
you can work out doors every month
in the year, and where you are pro-
ducinS something the year rouud.
If you are stock raiser you know
your stock are now seating their
heads Off" and, besides, have to be
protected from the rigors of winter
by expensive shelter. Cost of pro
duction determines the place of
production, and Alabama and Flor
ida can produce beef and sheep
cheaper than any other state, and
must become the center of great
industry already begun. Economi-
cal stock feeding requires the COM
bination of both iesh-forming and
fat-forming foods in certain pro-
portions. Alabama and Florida
contain millions of acres of IN
utilized cheap range, and these
lands when cultivated produce in
abundance the velvet bean and cas-
sava bean, the first flesh pro-
ducer, and the latter fat producer,
and they are the cheapest and best
fattening materials known to the
world. If you are interested and

With Colombia.
DELAY vExES THE PRESIDENT
Opposition I'm Senate Matter OF
Grave Concern to Those De-
string Immediate and
Favorable Action.

Washington, Jan. s1.--An Important
conference was held at the White
House today, the participants being the
president, Secretary Hay and Senator
Cullom. chairman Of the foreign affairs
committee Of the senate. The subject
under discussion was the status Of the
Panama canal treaty. The situation
with regard to the treaty as 1t has de-
yaloped in the senate Is giving the adj
ministration and its supporters grave
concern. The president is exceedingly
anxious that the treaty should be rati-
fed at the earliest possible moment, yet
the indications now are that serious
obstructioas may be placed in the way
of ratification.
Senator Morgan. chairman of the
committee on interoceanic canals. takes
the ground that the negotiations con-
Quoted by the senate department with
Mr.. Herran, representing Colombia.
are not valid, as he holds that Mr..
Herran did not possess the necessary
authority to make treaty binding up
on his country, and it is understood
that he will use his utmost efforts to
defeat the treaty in its present form.
Indeed, the intimation has reached the
president that when the treaty Is called
for consideration in the-senate amend
ments viii be offered to almost every
section Of it. Such action, 1t is well
understood, will seriously delay final
action upon it, even If it should not re-
suit in defeat of its ratification. 1t
is stated definitely that any amendment
to the treaty would spoil the entire cam
al project, as the government of Col
ombia might hesitate TO accept amend
ments made to it, particularly if they
involved essential details of principals.
