SHOWS TRIUMPH OF
MAN OVER COLORADO
Ry Associated Press.

IMPERIAL, June 6.-The triumph of
man in conquering the Colorado river,
now subjected to a severe test by the
summer flood, has been amply demon
strated. Ground for fear that the
levee might prove inadequate was that
the fresh earth works would give way
before being seasoned by water. Dur
ing the last ten days the water has
been against the levee, rising and
falling, but disclosing no point of weak
ness. This has thoroughly seasoned
the levee and made it far stronger than
at first. AS a result the last ground
for apprehension has been removed.
The river has reached a level of
twenty-nine feet, the levees being six
feet above the water with a width
on top of twenty feet. Yesterday the
river fell two feet at Needles and began
to fall at the levee last night.

Brevity as the soul Of wit is exem-
pliled in many popular sayings. Wit
is by no means an inevitable ingredi-
emit In proverbs Many of them are Of
doubtful sense. and some are foolish,
yet there is a certain spice. The defni-
ton of proverbs by Howell as Say
ings which combine sense, shortness
and salt" is in the main true. Though
truth may be altogether absent and wit
barely perceptlble. yet there must be o
certain "salt," which gives life and
SAVIOR to the saying.
1t would be difficult to find sayings
more telling than some of the shortest
such, for instance, as "Forewarned,
foreaFmed," Extremes meet" or the
ancient Inter malleum ct lncudem"
between the hammer and the anvil
Many sayings which In English are
short were briefer stin in their original
classical form.
That the soul Of wit was exemplifled
most strlkingly among the Greeks Is
only what we should expect. 1t Is curl
GUS to remember that our word 'lacon-
ic" preserves the memory of the repu-
tation for conclseness OF speech borne
by the people Of one part of Greece
the LacOnians or Spartans. When
Philip OF Macedon threatened them, "If
l enter Laconla, will level your city
to the dust" they made the famous re-
ply, "If,"

Mark Twain In Bathrobs and Bare
Legs Left Hotel For Plunge.
Mark Twain exhibited himself as an
eccentric recently in London, and every
staid Lsondoner who witnessed the ex-
hIbltlon fairly gasped. says a special
cablegram from London to the New
York Times. A little after 8 O'Clock
the other morning he appeared In the
foyer of Browns hotel CARRIED In a blue
bathrobe and slippers. with about three
inches of bare legs showing.
A slight, elderly gentleman with
bushy white hair in this unconventiOn'
al costume startled the patrons Of the
hotel and worried the employees tire
mendously, but Mark Twain cOolly sur
veyed those who were staring at him
and, accompanied by his secretary, X.
W. Ashcroft, walked out Of the front
door OF the hotel into Dover street.
The sidewalks were thronged with
pretty shopgirls on their way to work.
They stopped short and gazed In aston
ishment at the great American humor-
list as he made his way toward the
Bath club, nearly opposite the hotel.
After his bath Mark Twain returned
to his hotel In his three piece costume
of one bathrobe and two slippers and
had the pleasure of making a lot more
people open their eyes very wide. The
manager of the hotel was aghast as he
saw Twain enter the hotel, but didn't
make a fuss, he feeling that a great
man like Mark Twain must be al
lowed to do as he pleases.

the excitement he had caused. II
