DANGER FROM FLOOD
NOW AT HEIGHT
Relief Believed To Be Near
At Hand.
LOWER LEvEEs STILL HOLDING.
Falling of Waters Along Upper River,
Together With Clearing of Skies In
Lower Valley Gives Hope that the
Worst Is at Hand.

New Orleans, March 24-The river
has fallen two-tenths of a foot in the
past y hours, registering today 20
feet. Favorable winds have proba-
bly, figured in the decline Something
like a gale prevailed during the night
and caused much apprehension con-
cerning the safety of the levees south
but early reports brought no news Of
crevasses. 1t is believed here that
the river is now carrying off much of
the food that caused the overfows in
north Memphis and in Arkansas. An ef-
fort will be made to close the break on
the LaFOurche. The damage it can
do has been discounted and planters
likely to be affected have large forces
engaged in throwing up side and back
Ievees to protect their plantations.
The bayou has fallen nearly feet.
The Southern Pacific trains on the
main track have not been interrupted.
The hardest fight on the river is
now being made in the LaFourche and
Pontchartrain districts, which cover
the fronth south of Baton Rouge on
both sides. Large forces of men are
steadily employed on both banks.
These levees as a rule are among the
best in the state, and the engineers
have no reason to doubt that they will
hold unless crawfish or musk rats un-
dermine them.

Massachusetts, Banker Gives Cham

pion Sample Of Yankee Thrift.
The proverbial Yankee thrift shows
up big In a story now going the
rounds reminiscent of Western
Massachusetts banker who died dur
ing the past year. He believed In
the maxim "A penny saved Is a pen
ny earned" with vengeance. His
clerks were denied the luxury of
pads of paper and were required to
figure on the backs of old envelopes
that had been carefully prepared by
the office boy in his leisure moments.
The banker had a sonin.law who
builded wisely by inviting his father
in.law to spend few week with him
at the seashore. The close-flsted
banker decided to unloosel to the ex-
tent of having the daily newspapers
that the bank had subscribed for sent
to him after the quotations had been
inspected. He left explicit instruc-
tons that the advertising pages we're
to be cut and the edges trimmed
so as to save postage.
The papers, which were sent every
other day were too heavy for the
one-cent limit, though considerably In
side the weight allowable for two
cents. 1t was matter of facetious
comment in the bank that the "old
man" was not getting full value for
his two-cent expenditure for postage.
The margin in favor of Uncle Sam,
however, diminished appreciably after
the third instalment of literature had
been forwarded. the cashier receiving
postal card that bore the following
request
Mail papers in single wrappers

but three cents postage"
