The Way an Expert With a Witch
Gaazei Rouah Worked. Y r tsr
1t may be that his errand was in
the nature OF q cheerful gamble aft
er other resources failed, but the
fact remains that Mr.. Eastman was
ON the ground equipped for BUSH
ness and that the train waited upon
his Investigations.
His outfit was simple. A friend,
acting as assistant 'Switcher," car
ried . bundle Of freshly cut witch
hazel houghs, trimmed in V shaped
branches, the leaves and buds still
on them. The two men disern-
barked. 3" ateo s1,e~.
Mr.. Eastman, stout, conventional
as to dress and looking as essential
~ practical as veteran railroad
man ought to appear, took one OF
the v shaped witch hazel boughs
and tightly grasped the plant ends
in his two fists, holding the point OF
crotch upright. Thus equipped he
moved sedately across the prairie.
The witch hazel remained upright
for perhaps fifty feet. The crowd
trailed in behind, vastly curious.
Presently the boughs began to turn
or waver.. The inverted V twisted
slowly until it was parallel with the
earth or pointing straight out from
the bearer. sut.~.s.T
He slackened his gait and moved
ahead, while the telltale bough
moved slowly down until it was
pointing toward the soil. Now the
water witcher" had it so grasped
that it was twisting in his fists, and
the tender bark along the plant
ends was beginning to break, show
ing that, some force other than mus
oular effort was pulling the bough
toward the earth. When it pointed
straight down, he stopped and heel
ed mark in the grass.
Thenoh moved ON, and very slow
" the branch began to rise until at
length il had returned to the per-
pendicular in its original position.
The vein of water had been passed,
and the witch hazel was no longer
attracted.-From ga Water Witch

Mr.. McKinley's Flower.

Mr.. Mckinley was interested for
~nany years in a girls school in
<hio. When he was congressman
and governor of Ohio political meet
ings often took him near the school,
and he visited it when he could. On
one of his visits he was made an
honorary member Of the class of
ga. He was loyal member and
wore the class flower, a red carna-
ton. The message of his nomina-
ton for president reached the class
during a reunion. The girls rang
the college bell and sent telegram
of congratulation and a box of car
nations. Another box Of the class
flowers was sent on the day of Mr..
McKinlcy's Inauguration. 1t may
he that this association accounts for
Mr.. McI<inley's fondness for the
red carnation, which has come to DO

Why He Planted.

The poor man who seeks to help,
even in the smallest way, but with
q right spirit, his fellowmen is Of
infinitely greater worth to the race
than the man of millions whose
chief aim and end are his own pleas
ure. A poor and aged man was
seen planting an apple tree and was
somewhat rudely accosted by Q
stranger who said, "Why do you
plant trees when you cannot posi-
bly, live long enough to eat the fruit
of them?" The poor man raised
himself and, leaning on his shovel,
said: ''Somc one planted trees be-
fore ! was born, and l have eaten
the fruit. l now plant for others
that the memorial of my gratitude
may exist when l am dead and
gone"

Arceneaux plant, conducted two ex-
curSion parties down to the Illinois

visiting the Mayville, Southwestern.
and Illinois plants during the trip.
They report the water being so high
as to cover practically all the ground
except the ridges which run through
that section of the country. The peo-
pie at the Illinois plant were making
a desperate effort to save their pro.
lection levees, and were pumping day
and night to keep the water out. The
water on the outside was practically
on a level with the leyees, and any
considerable rise would have proved
disastrous. The water at some of the
plants visited was up on the sides of
the boilers. 1t is impossible to state
at the present time anything definite
as to what the final outcome of the
floods will be in that section. I
The second party which Mr.. Buck
lngham conducted went down Tuesday
and was composed of eleven members
They report the water still rising at
