Speaking of Floods.
A veteran Of the war Of 1881 had lis
tened patiently to the very long story
a youthful veteran Of the Spanish war
told. The account Of hardships left
him unmoved.
"Just after the Johnstown flood, my
boy" said he, there was man in the
next world who went about telling ev-
erybody how that Johnstown affair
had sent him where he was.
"His listeners hung on his words-all
Of them, that is, except quiet looking
little man who seemed so little Inn
pressed that every time the Johnstown
man got through he merely looked
bored and said, oh, shucksv
1.-The Johnstown man got tired Of it
after awhile. 1t got on his nerves to
have anybody act as If what happened
at Johnstown wasn't Of any impor-
lance. No matter how he told his
story, the quiet looking little man
merely said, 'Oh, shucksr
AT last the Johnstown man spoke to
a fellow who had been there long
time about 1t.
Say said he, who is that little
man who keeps saying, "Shucksw'
"'Who?' said the man who had been
there long time. do you mean the
fellow over there? Why, his names
Noah'"

Preaching In Labrador.

Preaching In Labrador.
An old missionary who had been
many years in Labrador was at length
compelled to return, his influence all
gone and his mission entirely fruitless
A young man was appointed in his
place, and before he went to his assign
ment he thought he would visit his
venerable predecessor and learn from
MIN the cause Of his trouble in the
land OF icebergs. The old man received
him very cordially.
My venerable brother" said the
young man, Il wish you to tell me the
cause of your difficulty that I NAV
avert like failure"
My young friend" said the old
missionary, laying his hand ON his
brothers arm; 'this was the rock

ofed savages hell that was hot

CRISIS Of FLOOD
River Has Reached Stage of 81
Feet; May Go Two Feet
Higher.
NARM WEATHER PREVENTS
EXCESSIVE SUFFERING
Damage VIII Be Heavy, Owing
to Mud That Covers the
Flooded District.

CINCINNATI, o.. March l7.-With
a stage of .sixty-one feet at 5 o o'clock
this afternoon. it was believed that
the crest of the Ohio flood WAS not far
away. Forecastcr Basslcr has placed
the probable crest at not less than
sixtv-thrce feet. but his estimates an
ti2lpatcd its arrival some time tomor-
row afternoon. The damage done by
the flood may far exceed that In the
January flood, because of the unusual
" large amount OF mud carried by the
river aC this time.
The present flood, however has come
from unprecedeutedly heavy rains on n
soft soil, the result being an excessive
amount OF mud, which has settled on
all that IL covered, so that the loss
will go far in cXcess of q winter flood
The suffering has probably been some
what lessened by the milder weather,
although many thousand persons have
been driven from their homes and
caused great loss and suffering by the
rising water.
II is understood that the. worst is
over at points above here
The city suffered Il loss of about
Sl50,000 earlv IN the day by the col
lapse of the Eighth street viaduct over
the railroads of the Mill Creek section
of the city. Three ffty-foot spans of
this vladuct went down into the flood,
but the high water is not believed to
have been the sole cause of the dis
aster. Various traction lines using the
Nladuct are put 10 much Inconvenience.
