a STORY OF THE MISSOURI RIVER.

There are rivers of all lengths and sizes and
OF all degrees of wetness. There are rivers with
ali sorts Of peculiarities and with widely vary
ing claims TO fame, But there is only one river
with a personality, habits, designations, a sense
of humor and woman's caprice a river that
goes travelling sidewise, that interferes in poll
ties. rearranges geography and dabbles in real
estate; a river that plays hide and seek with
you to-day and tomorrow follows you around
like pet dog with a dynamite cracker tied TO
ITS tail. That river is the Missouri
This thing happened in Kansas City not many
years ago: party of men owned a strip of
land along the Missouri River bank II was not
handsome land, but il valuable for factory
purposes. They were offered portly prices for
il, but held on
One day they noticed that the strip was
nosis with a surveyors tape and found that
half of IL had been washed away. The next year
half Of the remainder had gone.
The men wanted TO sell then but the market
seemed remarkably sluggish The next year the
river ate 50 vigorously that only a tiny strip
about as wide as piece Of baby ribbon was
left The men were much depressed.
Suddenly the land began To increase
missouri had chosen the late manufacturing site
for place to deposit fine 16O-acre farm uDon
which IT had foreclosed up the river. Inside Of
six months that strip Of land contained 300
acres. The men jubilant. but still they
would not sell They wanted another 100 acres
they said. They strolled along the bank each
day and urged the river, In proprietary tones. to
build faster
Then the river changed its mind once moro
and not only wiped ont the extra 100 acres but
the original 100 acres. every foot OF IT, The
next year u built up 500 acres IN the same
spot hut they all belonged TO the man who
owned the ground behind the original plot They

and breeding from those fowls in which the

cautious in drawing hard and fast conclusion
because il is known that feathers are subject to
modification in various ways dependent upon
food. Thus. the color of the feathers of certain
parrots has been striking changed by the
South Sea Islanders. who feed the birds upon
the fat OF a peculiar fish And canary birds are

Exclusion League informed him that hum
dreds of Japanese women were being
brought to America surrepttiously and
held in practical slavery after their arrival
here. 1t was stated the women were sold
by their importers precisely as If they were
so many bales of goods.
Secretary Straus ordered a rigid investi-
cation, and 1t discovered that the
white slave" traffic was far more wide
spread than had been suspected, involving
the importation not only of Japanese
women into America, but of women from
France, Austria. Russia and Italy.
1t is proposed to have a careful inquiry
instituted In all OF the large cities particu-
larly, and a roundup of alien immoral
women will be made. Those who have not
been in the country three years, and are
found to have been brought here illegally.
will be arrested and subsequently deported
Before they are returned to their native
lands, however, they will be required to
furnish evidence against those who brought
them here. and prosecution will be begun
against those responsible for the traffic. 1t
is proposed to make examples OF such men
and women by securing convictions, II pos
sible, and sending them to prison.
