Justly. He knew nearly all o,

working busily. he knew nearly all o.
them.
As he gazed there dragging his breath
in sobs. terror seized upon the men be-
meath him. They clutched each other
and ran, some for this side of the river
bed and some for that. But the awful
splendid voice was in their ears. The
terror of what doom they knew not was
in their trembling souls. And round
the bend a hundred yards away came the
roaring host of waters, like a living SEN
tent thing. The wall kept time and
wheeled like line Of men. Then it
dashed down toward the narrowed gap
in which its helpless victims awaited it.,
because there was no hope in effort. Here
in this deep depth the leaping stream
howled against the strangling rocks
which held it and spouted like some ire
mendous geyser.
And there was no sternly exulting
figure there where the advance guar,l Of
the great column had gone by, for the
waters Jethroe had ridden SO fast to
meet had taken him.
Harvey had heard the explosion faint
~, but had no guess as to its meaning.
He had seen his uncle riding like a
mailman, and he had heard the roar of
the advancing waters, not guessing what
the noise might mean. He knew when
the leaping wave caught Jethroe and
swept him from his place as if he had
been straw, and when he stood breath
less on the rivers brink the river rioted
along as it had done thousands of years
ago, and will do thousands of years
hence.

When water pipes burst or children

The weekly crop bulletin of the wealth
er bureau summaries crop conditions as
follows:
The weather conditions of the week
as whole were exceptionally favorable
to agricultural interests. Under the in
tluence of warm and generally dry
weather throughout the central valleys,
lake region and Atlantic coast districts
late crops matured rapidly. Florida and
portion Of the central gulf districts suf-
fered injury from excessive rains, while
much needed rains fell in the Rocky
Mountain and North Pacific coast reg
ions. The middle and South Atlantic
States and southern Texas are in need
of rain. Frosts occurred in the middle
Rocky Mountain districts and in the
upper Ohio valley, lower lake region
and northern portion of the middle At
lantic States, but caused no serious in
jury.
Highly favorable weather prevailed
throughout the principal corn States. An
exceptionally large and fine yield of corn
is now assured over much of the greater
part of the corn belt, and only very
small part of the crop in the north cen.
trail portion, estimated at from to 5
per cent of the total, remains exposed
to injury from frost and this is matur-
ing rapidly. The crop in Missouri was
extensively blown down or lodged, but
Notwithstanding this AID the damage by
September floods the yield in that State
will be very heavy.

Oldest Letter Is Found.

What is said to be the oldest letter
in the world has been found in some
excavations in ancient Attica. NJ. Will
helm, secretary of the Austrian
Archaeological Institute, who succeed
ed in deciphering it, asserts that it was
written four centuries before Christ.
1t is engraved on a leaden leaf, folded
in two, and it bears on the outside the
following address:
ITO the porter of the market at Po-
tbs, to be delivered either to Nausias
or to Thrasicles, or to their sons"
The text of the letter is as follows:
''Mnesiengos sends his greetings to
those in the house and informs them
that he is in good health. Please send
me a blanket or some sheepskins, if
possible, of the ordinary kind, without
ornaments. As soon as the occasion
offers l shall return them"

Look to Paris or London.

Explain to me if you can" says the
student of the eternal feminine, why
the American woman has not yet
made dent on the old world in the
matter of fashions for clothes. Ameri
can supremacy is an old story, but if
the American woman isn't supreme
who or what is? Indeed, what she has
done in the way of marrying European
celebrities and instituting American
ways in Europe is part of our re-
corded supremacy, but in clothes she
is not in it. Whenever the last touch
of fineness is to be given to any Of
her garments it is described as being
of Paris or London make. We have
heard. to be sure, that the shirtwaist
is an American idea and that it is
making its way abroad, but when it
comes back here it is labeled lingerie
and as created in the old world. AS
for the brides rousseau, though we
have as many brides here as anywhere,
their clothes must all bear the foreign
label. The old world still sets the
STYLES in woman's dress.-Philadelph
