Evanstown, Ind.-A report from
Shawneetown, ILL.,, says the residents
are debating the feasibility of remov-
ing from the city with their personal
property and then opening the levee
and allowing the river to flood the
town. thus doing away with the great
danger of disaster that now threatens
the place, which is situated on low
ground and protected by large levee,
which it is feared may break should
the river rise much more. The story
cannot be confirmed, but those who
know the situation of the city believe
it true. A few years ago the levee
broke. and the place was inundated.
The people were given ample warning
and saved themselves and their pro-
perty.

One Dollar Saved Repre-,
Scnts Ten Dollars Earned.

The average man does not
save to exceed ten per cent of
his earnings. He must spend
nine dollars in living expenses
Tor every dollar saved. That
being the case he cannot be too
careful about unnecessary ex-
penses. Very often a few cents
properly invested, like buying
seed for his garden, will save
several dollars outlay later on.
1t is the same in buying Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and

but a few cents and a bottle of

Harrison paid his first visit to

of the many attractive features
of the beautiful Palo Duro Can

Though most all our towns
people are quite familiar with
and have many times ex-
perienced the enjoyment of a
stolen day or even a week in
this, Natures own master
piece of the great plains of Tex
as, brief description of this
great chasm lined with untold
wonders, which, while not re.
vealed in all it's vivid lustre of
beauty to all, is none the less
enhanced in genuine loveliness
to all who truly find pleasure
in viewing Gods own creation
of that which is sublime. We
cannot look around us, without
being struck by the surprising
variety and multiplicity of the
sources of Beauty of Creation,
produced by form, or by color,
or by both united. 1t is scarce
ly TOO much to say, that every
object in nature, animate or in.
animate, is in some manner
beautiful, so largely has the
Creator provided for our pleas
ures, through the sense of sight.
TO the visitor to this deep pre-.
clpitous canyon through which
flows tiny silver thread, the
head waters of the Red River,
with its ever varying brllliancy
and grandeur of landscape,
and the magnificence of the sky,
sun, moon and stars, enter more
extensively into the enjoyment
of its many admirers than we,
perhaps, ever think, or can pos
sibly apprehend, without fire
quent and extensive investiga-
ton. This beauty and splendor
OF such grand surroundings
in this, our beloved Randall
county, is ever to be remember
ed, is not necessary to their ex-
istence, nor to what we com
monty intend by their useful
ness. 1t is therefore to be re
garded as a source of pleasure,
gratuitously superinduced upon
the general nature of the objects
themselves, and in this light,
and a testimony Of the divine
goodness, peculiarly affecting,
here, in the midst of such a
scene, in the deep recesses of
great level plateau, amidst the
gnarled cedar and mountain
holly which finds a precarious
foothold on its craggy overhang-
ing sides, while the water course
below is fringed with heavy
growth of beautiful timber,
vines, underbrush and wild flow
ers, certainly those who have
been content to spend the sum-
mer months at home in the cool
Panhandle with an occasional
day of recreation to such a
place as we have been attempt

happier. Decidedly, the stay

DAYS,

Wing party held an important conference
here, On a musty old page OF the hotel

!, feminine handwriting that Is familiar to
ALL we find III. Clay, Kentucky, while

before Mr.. Clay's departure from the
springs no gave banquet In his cottage
to his friends Old Uncle Jimmie Patter-
son, tho venerable gatekeeper, who has
been an attache of the White Sulphur

servant on the row In which the Clay
cottage was situated. and helped to servo
the banquet, From his description, which
can be relied upon, It was. g. gala event
that transcends all modern blowouts.
I'D says that the department of the host
ana the guests was eminently proper until
about the hour of midnight, but from that
time of the night until the morning
dawned. there was q high old time on the
premises,
When the cloth had been removed and
the Powhatan pipes were brought ln-the
degenerate practice Of cigars and cigarette
was not in vogue In those halycon days
some one called for music. and q mes
senger was sent for negro fiddler, who
soon appeared with his old-fashioned In.
strument.
The old fiddler started In with Money
Musk and then played Sugar In the
Gourd" but when he touched UP "Missis-
sippi Sawyer" Mr., Clay stepped into the
middle OF the floor and gave them q
''Kentucky breakdown" after a fashion
that would make a minstrel man en-
yIous.
This was a fair challenge to Mr., Choate
who followed with New England
"pigeon wing" When the old negro struck
the chord Of "Old Virginia Never Tire"
the courtly Riyes, afterward minister to
France, felt that the reputation OF the
Old Dominion was at stake. and shedding
