LILA JANE this mornin' didn't have
much appetite:
Her eyes was kim O. restless, an.
they held a fevercd light.
I talked about how pretty it is gettin' out
of doors
An mentioned that there seemed to be big
bargains at the stores;
I couldn't interest her. an I can't divert
her mind
House ~cleanin's on the programme. an
I've got to be resigned.
She looked at all the curtains. an she
muttered, with a frown,
That they were simply awful. an she'd
ought to take them down;
She kicked the parlor carpet, an she rails
n little dust,
An then l heard her whisper to herself,
well, I just must!'
She went all through her breakfast with
a sort o. worried air
Nv got to be a martyr. SO I guess I'd best
prepare.
She went across to simpkins' an talked
with Mrs. 8.
I didn't hear them talkin', but it isn't
hard to guess
That they was plannin' trouble, an the
carpets will come up,
An I'll be t!ndin' brads among the coffee
in my cup.
An then nay flapjack butter will taste
mighty strong O. soap:
She's showin' all the symptoms, an I've
given up all hope.
I s'pose about tomorrow-if she waits as
long as that
When l so home I'll find her in an old
Worn out straw hat,
Her sleeves up to her elbows an the
chairs out in the yard
An brooms an busters layin' round to
catch me off my guard.
She's shown all the symptoms. an there's
trouble comm sure
House Cl>anin's on the programme; I must
suffer an endure.

1919. when he was twenty-four years
old. came the great panic Of that year.
Values Went out Of everything. He
bought all the coal and coke properties
he could, and ut panic prices. and when
the reaction came found himself well

man of the new company and active
head of II of the largest Industries
in the world. 1t was the big strike at
Homestead in 1e31, that brought him to
public attention. A fanatic named Berg
man shot at and stabbed him, wound
ing him badly. and the incident added
to the excitement caused by the labor
troubles.
Mr.. Prick recently built a 100000
cottage ut Beverly Farms, Mass, for
q country residence. 1t contains a
pipe organ which cost $4,000. He
spends large sums IN works Of art
and Is said to have given a great deal
OF money in a quiet way to charitable
undertakings. Some time ago two wo-
men called at his office to get a small
contribution for a new free bath house
in Pittsburg. They could not obtain an
interview with him and were going
away disappointed when Mr.. Tricks
confidential clerk came out with IA
slip in his hand. On it was written.
Give the ladies this check and tell
them Mr.. Prick cannot see them to-
day" When they saw the amount Of
the check they almost tainted. 1t was
for $1,000.

THE HOUSE STILL STANDS.

It was thought at dark Monday eve ming that yesterday morning would see the Cummings house gone, or at least afloat, but the highest water only reached the floor, and Mir. Cummings had the building securely. fastened to nearby trees with ropes. The current however, cut away all the ground un- der the front porch and it partially dropped. His two cows and a calf which were marooned in his pasture were still there yesterday morning, al- though the calf had been drowned. They stood in three feet of water the greater part of the night. Early in the evening Charles Fitzgerald att tempted a rescue, but he was taken with a cramp in the cold water and bystanders had to rescue him. MT. Cummings land to the east of his house was little damaged, and alto gether he got off much better than he had reason to expect Monday after noon. In a measure he will be repaid. for his loss by the driftwood brought and anchored above the Santa Fe trestlework on his land. There must be several hundred cords of it, and it is of considerable value.
