millions, caused sort of reaction to-
day, and the House went wild and slash

The most important measure to suffer
was the bill making an appropriation to
pay legal expenses in the Louisiana and
boundary dispute. The bin was defeat4

agement Of the Attorney General alone.
Mr.. Barber called up the motion to re-
consider the vote whereby Senate Bill
No. 30, to provide for defraying the ex-
penses of the State OF Mississippi in the
Supreme Court Of the United States in
regards to boundary lines was passed.
This bill provides for an appropriation
OF $4,000, 5000 to be paid upon passage
of this act and 5000 at end of the suit,
also a contingent fee Of $4,000 to be
paid in addition If the attorneys win the
suit. The attorneys in the suit are Mon
roe McClurg, Hanhis Taylor, Dodds C

The bill was then reconsidered by a
vote OF 81 to 40.

POPE Plus, THE GOOD.
nished nm Example for His
Fellow Vlllngers.

A Baltimorean in Rome writes home
that many stories are being told OF
the new>pope. Ono which he relates in
his letter refers to the time when the
present pontiff was parish priest at
SalzanO, a village near Treviso. The
story depicts Plus x. as a gravedig-
ger, and Is accredited to Rev. Alexan-
der Robertson, Protestant mission
ary residing at Venice. 1t follows:
"A son of the soil himself, the pope
in his earlier days was always willing
to help his countrymen. The sacris-
tan tells how more than once, when a
body had to be brought 10 the church
from q distance for a funeral service
and three men only could be found to
carry it, Father Sarto, then % years
old, would himself form the fourth.
When. in 1873, cholera broke out at
Salzano, panic seized the villagers.
and none could be got to dig graves or
bury the dead. Don Beppi,' as Father
Sarto was called. then said to his sa-
cristan: You and I must do it, So,
getting spades, they set to work. Their
courageous conduct was not lost upon
the practitioners. who soon relieved
them of their toll"

Miss Flutterly on Floods.

isn't 1t awful the floods we're hav-
ing nowadays?" said little Miss Flut-
terly. Papa says it's because they cut
down so many trees. suppose trees
stop the springs from coming too fast
by absorbing their moisture, and when
they cut down whole forests, why,
there's nothing to do but let the floods
come. But it's awful for the people
that get washed away. Papa was read
ing the other day about some Russian
immigrants that had just settled on tho
banks of river out west when the
floods came, and they were carried in
to Kansas, and they had no means Of
telling what state they had come from.
One Of the. youngest had been born
there, and he will never know what
state he is native of because those
Russians are so ignorant. Doesn't 1t
seem awful our allowing so many igno-
rant people to come to this beautiful
country? think they ought to have
put q stop to it just as soon as we
were declared independent Because
we're really Americans now, except tho
negroes, and they're Africans. -
