Shawneetown lies in an elbow Of the
Ohio River and protected by a dixie on
the east and south from the water.
When the river is in flood the surface
of the water is from six to eight feet
above the street level in the lower part
of the town.
During the previous flood the lower
part of the town was under water for
several days and a heavy property loss
was the result. The dikes We're repair
ed after this calamity, and it was be-
lieved that they could withstand any
stage Of water which might prevail in
the river.
Flood conditions We're reported all

CASTOR Vandeloup having passed all
his life In cities, found that his existence
on the Pactolus claim was likely to be
very dreary. Day after day he arose
in the morning. did his Office work, ate his
meals, and after a talk with Madame
Midas in the evening went to bed at 10
o'clock. Saeia Area dian simplicity as this
was not likely TO suit the highly c..ltivat Z
ed tastes he had acquired in his earlier
life. As to the episode Of New C7ledo-

CHAPTER vi.

faZh
At the foot of the huge mound of white
mulloch which marked the site Of the
Pactolus Mine was a long zinc-roofed
building. which was divided into two COM
partments. In one Of these the miners
left their clothes. and put on rough canvas
suits before going down, and here also
they were searched on coming up in order
to see If they had carried away any gold.
From this room a long, narrow passageway
led to the top of the shaft, 20 that any
miner having gold concealed upon him
could not throw it away and pick it up
afterward, but had to so right into the
searching room from the cage, and could
not possibly hide a particle without be-
Ing found out by the searchers. The other
0 was the sleeping apartment of such
miners as stayed on the premises, for the
majority Of the men went home to their
families when their work was done.
Theze were three shifts of men on the
Pactolus during the tw~enty-four hours,
and each shift worked eight hours at a
time.
When NJ. Vandelcup awoke next morn
ing at 6 O'Clock the first shift were not
vet un and some of the miners who had
to 70 on at 8 were sleeping heavily in
their beds. The sleeping places were
berths, ranging along two sides of the
room, and divided into upper inc lower
compartments like those on shipboard.
CASTOR having reused himself natural
IL wanted to see where he was. SO rubbing
his eyes and yawning he leaned on his Ell.
bow and took a ~leisurely survey of his po-
sition.
CASTOR yawned once or twice, then
feeling d~isinclined for n more sleep, he
softly put on his clothes, so as not to
awake Pierre. who slept in the berth be
low, and descending from his sleeping
place CROPPED his way to the door and went
out into the cool, fragrant morning.
There was a chill wind blowing from
the bush, bringing with it a faint aromatic
odor, and on CHANGING downwards he saw
chat the grass was wet with dew. The
dawn was burning redly in the east, and
IL v~ividscrisnson of the sky put him II
mind OF that Ninset under which he hat

The Origin Of the Word Fihbu5ter.


The Origin OF the Word Filibu5ter.
The name "buccaneer" was chief
ly affected by the English adventur-
erS on our coast, while the French
members Of the profession often pre-
ferred the name Of "flibustier. "
This word, which has since been cor
rupted into our familiar "filibus-
ter,'' is said to have been originally
corruption, being nothing more
than the French method Of pronounc-
ing the word "freebooters,' which
title nad long been used for indepen-
dent robbers.

OUR DESTINY

Are we fulfilling our national des-
tiny?
Such a question naturally OBJ
trudes itself on the mind on a day
like yesterday.
It's indisputable that thus far
in our history we have been true to
the principles upon which our gov
Eernment was founded, ana our ma
tional policies have been conceived
ana carried out in spirit of altru-
ism. that realizes every expectation
of the admirers of our free institu-
lions. But the success Of the expert
ment i'm free government is due in
greatest measure to the excellence of
its foundation. Our isolated position,
the necessity OF close attention to the
development Of our resources, and
jealousy of foreign nations have COM
bined to keep us free from distract
ing complications. Our traditions and
the principles inculcatad and handed
down in the family circle and school
room have kept US ever in the
straight path of national progress;
but the way is broadening for us
and the real test of our capacity and
endurance is to come
Traditions avails nothing to ma
tions or men. Rome and Greece have
tSaditions. We must preserve the
principles Of our government to
guide us in the unchartered seas of
nationaiism Nor must we confuse
policies of expediency with funda-
mental principles.
Men nowadays contend for strict
construction Of the constitution. as
if that were a principle of govern
ment-an issue raised when section
Ialism was rife, and petty jealousies
of states arose in astounding con-
trast to the self-sacrificing spirit Of
the age.
1t is not the selfshness of our
forefathers we would conserve, but
their patriotism. II is not that spirit
that made each section fight for the
domination Of its desires, but that
nobler impulse that move men to
sacrifice home and life for the sake
OF an undying principle. Perhaps, IL
is not given to many Of the living to-
day to offer up their lives on the
field of battle, but II is given to all
Of us to offer up our lives on the
altar of citizenship
There is the ballot. Do we enter
the booth as our forefathers marched
on Lexington? DO we mark our tick
cts as free born, sovereign American
citizens. approaching the responsible
tiles Of sovereignty, or as Democrats
and Republicans? Can we vote for
the best men and the safest issue re-
gardless Of our personal interests in
some proposed contract?
We today are enjoying the bless
ings Of liberty and prosperity, be-
cause of the heroic devotion Of men
who laid their foundation on the firm
principles of truth and righteousness
and cemented IL with their own
blood. Our nation has progressed in
the fulhllment Of its destiny thus
far from the impetus given by the
patriots or another century. Let us
ponder on the conditions 131 years
hence, for which we are to be in a
great measure responsible.

employment, and who are now often
able to secure work which they are
thoroughly able to perform by reason
of the sympathy Of employers.
1t is equally certain to deter large
numbers of poorer people from put
ting honest work in the way of their
still poorer neighbors. Especially Will
this be the case in thousands Of
households where one domestic SER
want is employed and where boys and
men are occasionally but irregularly
employed.
One immediate result of the immi-
ncnce of the new bills operation is
the enormous press OF work IN the Inc
surance Offices. One large company.
new to the business, is issuing from
$1,000 to 1000 policies daily. An
other has eight clerks employed
merely opening letters. Extra clerks
have been engaged and men drafted
from other departments to the acci-
dent section of the Offices. Individual
housekeepers are well alive to their
responsibility, while the great banks
and shipping and mercantile compa-
MES seem apathetic in regard to-
risks
