In the Public Library.

A very small, morose and touzled
girl entered the jackson SQUARE
branch of the public library the other
day, and passed over the desk a slip
of paper on which was written:
please give this girl East Lynne"
East Lynne isn't in" said the as
sistant, won't anything else do?' The
seeker after literature shook her head
decidedly and went away. In a few
minutes her nose was level with the
counter again and she handed the pa
per back. Under the original inscrip-
ton was written:
"Or any other sad novel"
Another day a woman asked for
something by Mary J. Holmes. Don't
give me anything by Oliver" said she
with peculiarly contemptuous sniff,
L don't think much of him.
If Oliver were alive declared the
assistant, Il would write him that
don't think anyone else could enjoy it
as much as he would"
A grave-looking boy entered one day
and demanded 1.-The Hunchback of Not
a Dam" His innocence of any inten-
uonal profanity was so obvious that
the assistant ducked her head under
the counter to laugh. Another boy was
determined to have Get 1t and Keep

called UP to interpret, Get 1t and
Keep It," said the boy iInpatiently.

ICE GORGES CAUSE

High Also in Michigan.

LINCOLN, Neb, March 8 Ice
! gorges in the Platte river and its trib-
utaries have caused serious floods in
Central Nebraska, especially in and
near the towns of Schuyler, Columbus
and Genoa. Acone, a village on the
Loupc, is surrounded by water, and
many inha have been forced to
abandon their homes. Railroad traffic
is badly demoralized. On account of
the shaky condition of the Rock Island
bridge across the Platte, near Louis
vile, that road is running its trains
over the Burlington tracks between
Lincoln and Omaha, and the Union
Pacific is using Burlington tracks be-
tween Omaha and Grand Island. The
Union Pacific bridge across the Loupe
west of Columbus has gone out. and
the track for a mile and a half is
washed away. Traffic on the Union
Pacific west of there is entirely tied
up. Eight spans of the Burlington
bridge across the Platte two miles east
of Columbus have gone out. All the
country between the bridge and the
town is under water, and low lying
districts of the town itself are mum
dated. Some stock is reported drowned
near Acone.
In Southern Nebraska the Repub-,
lican river is out of it's banks and full
of ice. Two big bridges near Superior

steadily.
Three Hundred Families Unhoused.
COLUMBUS, Neb., March 9.-Three
hundred families living in Columbus
have been compelled to leave their
homes and seek higher ground. The
Lewis river at this point is more than
a mile and one-half wide. The Union
Pacific tracks for that distance from
Columbus to the big bridge over the
Lewis river are under water and can
not be used. Ice gorges are forming
and breaking continually. At Stanton
Mike Dolche was drowned in Union
creek, which is beyond it's banks.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March g.
Grand river is rising here at the rate
of about an inch an hour and rapidly
two years ago. 1t is far out of it's
and factories on the fats on both
banks. Reports from up the river as
far as Portland say that the danger is
over.
An ice gorge has formed at Ionia,
backing the water up for miles. When
the gorge breaks it is feared that it
will cause damage in the river below.
Grand river continued to rise this
afternoon and tonight. Factories along
the banks have been compelled to shut
down, as the water has invaded their
boiler rooms and put out the fires. The
ice gorge at Ionia still holds and is
backing up the water the dynamite

DRAMATIC RACE FOR LIFE
Galloping Through Tunnel in Front
of Fast Railway Train.

A very dramatic incident took place
recently during a run of the Carmar-
thenshire hounds, when the master had
a very narrow escape from death. The
fox, hard pressed by the hounds en-
tered a railway tunnel, and before they
could be stopped the whole pack dash
ed in after him. Mr.. Harries, the mas
ter, realized their danger and without
moments hesitation galloped into
the tunnel to try and whip them off
He had got some little distance into
the tunnel when suddenly he heard
the dread roar of an approaching train
which was laundering along at terri
fic speed. The headlights of the en-
CINE glared at him.
1t now became a veritable race for
life. Mr.. Harries clapped spurs to his
horse. On and on they rode at break
neck speed through the black tunnel
with the train laundering behind in
the hot pursuit and gradually dimin-
fishing the distance between them.
Luckily the engine driver caught
view of the flying horse and it's rider
against the sky line at the mouth of
the tunnel and he slackened speed. Mr..
Harries and his horse were saved. The
fox and hounds also escaped unhurt.

The engineer had been for many years

Hunting the seal from the ICY storm
swept coast of Newfoundland is not
sport; it is toll. whereby in part the
Observation-Disclosures wins his scanty measure
of bread. The hunt is a slaughter, dull
and hideous-a leap into the whining and
scurry pack. and the swinging and thrust
of an iron shod gaff, a merciless raining
of blows, with silent waste of ice all
splashed with red at the end Of it. There
is no sport in this, nor is there any fear
of hurt, for the seal pleads and wines
like a child, even while the gaff is fall
ing; but the chase is beset with multi
tudinous and unforeShadowed perils
The wind gathers the ice into foes and
jams it against the coast, an immeasur-
able, jagged expanse of it interspersed
with plains; then the Newfoundlander
Rkes his gaff and his food and his Cog
giles and sets out from his little harbOr
starting at midnight that he may come up
with the pack at dawn. But the wind
which sweeps the ice in inevitably sweeps
it out again without warning in an hour,
or a day, or a week; nor does it pause to
consider the situation of the men who
are twenty miles off shore. 1t veers and
freshens and drives the whole mass
grinding and heaving far out to sea,
where it disperses it into its separate
fragments.

SUFFER BY THEIR CREED.
Rapacity of Many Animals Lures Them
Into Death Traps.

1t may be doubted whether those of
US who arc able to obtain sufficient food
without difficulty can appreciate the crav-
ing for suStenance experienced by sea
birds and other animals which have often.
by the force of circumstances, TO fast for
long periods. Gulls will eat until they
cannot fly, and when they find pilchards
on board boat will continue their fea4e
until they can only lie down and gasp.
A superfluity of food comes at such long
intervals that when it does come the
avian intellect reels at the prospect and
what seems a horn of plenty brings dire
disaster. Seeing that gulls and gannets
know no better, we are not surprised to
hear of John Dory, stuffed to the very
mouth, floating helplessly on the surface
of the water, unable to escape from a
flock of sea birds which have deprived it
of its eyesight and will quickly take
away its life.
