Where irony Was Disastrous.

The irony of Lord Bowen, aoted
jurist, once proved very disastrous.
He was trying burglar, and by way
of mitigating the tedium of the pro-
ceedings summed up the case in the
following fashion:
You will have observed, gentlemen.
that the prosecuting counsel laid great
stress ON the enormity of the Offense
with which the prisoner is charged,
but think it is only due to the pris'
oner to point out that in proceeding
about his enterprise he, at all events,
displayed remarkable consideration
for the inmates of the house. For in
stance, rather than disturb the own
or, an invalid lady, as you will have
remarked. with commendable solici-
tude he removed his boots and went
about II his stockings, notwlthstand.
ing the fnclemency Of the weather.
Futher, instead of rushing with heed.
less rapacity into the pantry, he care
fully removed the coal shuttle and any
other obstacles which, had he thought
lessly collided with them, would have
created a noise that would have arous-
ed the jaded servants from their we'll
earned re0ose." ssss.
The judge then dismissed the jury
to consider their verdict, and was hor-
ror-struck when they returned to the
court and pronounced for the acquit-
tai ct the prisoner.-From Persona

ADDITIONAL FLOOD NEWS,

Tributaries of the Ohio Sending
Down u Big Head of Water.
Indianapolis, Ind, March 29.-All
rivers in southern Indiana are pouring
floods into the Ohio, forcing that
stream out of it's banks. White river
is getting into the coal mines around
Petersburg, causing heavy loss and
throwing miners out of work. The
Wabash river is giving the farmers
around New Harmony pneasiness. The
crests OF the floods in these two
streams were expected to reach their
junction point in Gibson county, Tues
day or Wednesday, and may join their
heavier forces at the same time. This
viii send a mighty river tearing
through the rich lower Wabash valley
to the Ohio.
The only danger point north of In
dianapolis Is at Lafayette, where water
from the Wabash is undermining a
high railroad embankment Should q
serious break occur, district that is
now protected will be flooded. At
Evansville the river is one foot above
the danger line and rising The low
lands above and below the city are
under water, and in some places the
river is several miles wide. At Hazel
ton White river is at the highest point
known.
The water plant above Evansville IL
surrounded by water, and the workmen
go to and from the plant in skiffs.
In the flooded district below Terre
Haute and above Evansville, where.
Monday night, the levees broke, food
ing over 10O,O0O acres of rich bottom
lands, the water is beginning to slowly

NEW PHASE AT GRAND RAprDs.

Failure of Gas Supply Owing. t., the
Mains Filling With Water.
Grand Rapids, Mich, March 29-The
suffering of the flood victims will now
be agsra> ated by the failure of the
gas supply. During last night all the
gas mains leading to the flooded west
side became filled with water, and
there is no possibility of their becom-
ing open for use before the flood COM
pletely recedes. 1t is not known to
what cause the filling of the mains is
due, although it is supposed that a
number OF small pipes burst and that
the high water quickly entered the
mains. The result will be very serious.
Gas was being used exclusively for
heating and cooking. The Grand con-
'inues to recede slowly.

AN EASTER
MESSAGE

Agnes Norwood sat alone in her room
where, indeed, she sat always, now
her face buried in her hands. She was
not weeping. 1t had been long-oh. SO
long-since she had shed tears. She
only strove to shut out from her mind
the vision of a happy world that Knocked
her grief. What was Easter to her,
Easter with its joys, it's glad songs and
beautiful flowers? II those who called
themselves her friends could understand
how they probed the unhealed wound
of her aching heart. would they be so
thoughtless as to urge her to sing. How
could>she sing, she whose song had been
so sudden and ruthlessly hushed months
ago? Can the woodland songster futter-
ing among the dead leaves, its breast

Easter is a very important day In Ger
many. It is looked forward to by the
children with almost as much pleasure
as Christmas. After breakfast the hunt
