MARTYR TO HIS STOCKINGS.
Student Suspended Because He
Wouldn't Hide Rainbow Socks.

Young Augustus Marsh, who was a
tackle on the Middleton, Conn, high
school eleven, left that institution OF
learning in some haste Wednesday.
AS consequence, the other students
have ceased to wear their trousers
turned up"
They have been rivals in the splen-
dor Of their hosiery. Augustus bought
and wore socks to school yesterday
that were so loud his young lady
teacher could not hear herself think;
they drowned the sound Of the noon
whistles, so that recess was late. They
were nile green in color, embroidered
In vivid red. To better display their
glory Augustus made n double roll in
the end Of his trousers. So, when he
sat cross-legged before the teacher all
Of one stocking above hisIlow shoe
was glaringly visible, and much of a
garment above the stockings top.
Augustus" said the teacher, blush
ing as red as the clocks on her pu-
pills socks, pull down your-pull
down your trousers ends"
Augustus only grinned The teach
er reported him to Principal C. H.
Woolsey, who suspended him indefi-
nitely.-New York World.

FLOOD
RIVER GOES ON
RAMPAGE AND THREAT
EMS TO DESTROY A
DOZEN TOWNS.

PUEBLO, Colo, Aug. 1S.-The
worst food of recent years Is
half a dozen towns
with destruction and causing tre-
mendous property damage today.
Fed by the heavy rains which
have been flooding the canyons OF
the mountains for the past two
days the Arkansas river is on a
and is steadily rising
past the danger point.
The greatest damage thus far
wrought by the muddy torrents is
at Howard and Florence. 1t Is
feared that several fatalities have
occurred at Howard. All COM
munication with the town has
been cut off. Part Of Pueblo Is
threatened by the rising river.
The railroads report many
washouts. But for the bravery
of men on horseback this morn
ing, a number of persons would
have been drowned by the first
wave of the flood which came
roaring down the valley. The
men rode ahead of the food and
warned the people living along
the bottom lands to go to higher
ground.

heroic effort to secure his free

She walked twenty miles

parole Thaw.
After a long discussion of the
case, the former countess offered
to post a million dollars as secur-
ity for Thaw's good conduct If re-
leased. Mills refused to consider
her plea or the offer.
After Mondays rains the wag-
ons could not travel over the
muddy trails leading to Mills
mountain camp, ten miles away.
Not dismayed by the roads, the
plucky young woman started yes
