arkness was an added horror.

darkness was an added horror.
Cries of the drowning could be
heard, but the onlookers were power
less to render aid
When daylight came the scene was
lndescribable. All through the flooded
districts groups could be seen huddled
on the tops of two story buildings en-
t1rely surrounded by seething mass
of water. One by one these houses dis
appeared with their human freight.
Nothing could live in the wild current
Which was running at the rate of 20
miles an hour.
During the early morning hours the
water remained stationary, and it
was not long before fall of four feet
began.
The river was soon in it's bank, onlv
to go out of it again before the con-
tinued downpour of rain. The great
steel plant at Monterey suffered loss
Of nearly million dollars by the flood,
and the smelter of the Mexican Lead
company is cut off from the city and
submerged. 1t is estimated that the
loss at this plant will be more than
So, 600, QUO.
The Santa Catarina river runs al
most directly through the center of
Monterey. Along its right bank is
located the suburb Of San Luisito, in
habited by the poorer element.
1t was in this section that the great
est loss occurred, for the greater
part of the suburb IS composed Of one
story adobes. When the flood waters
struck those buildings they collapsed
as though composed of paper and
oafieu thelr inmates beneath a mass OF
debris in such a manner that they
had absolutely no chance to escape.
Many families remained in their
dwellings until compelled to seek re-
lief on the roofs, but too late for they
found themselves entirely surrounded
by water and at the mercy of the rag
ing stream.

hard work.
The example set by those inter
ested IN the development Of irriga.
ton, in holding annual conventions
to advance their cause is now being
followed by those interested in the
so-called dry farming who will
hold their annual convention at Bill
lings in October.
This Northwest of ours is lust
beginning to realize it's great power
and future. 1t is like strong brave
and beautiful young man awakening
Co an understanding of his physical
and mental powers and entering up
on a career Of hard work and noble
achievement.
The work now going on to re-
claim the arid lands drain the swamp
lands, conserve the soil, preserve
and renew the forests, use for agri-
cultural purposes dry lands former
ly thought to be useful only for
grazing, are all steps in the forward
progress Of the United States in pre-
pairing to supply food, wood and
homes for a population five times
what We now have They are also
steps in increasing the number of
those who live near to the soil and
nature-freeholders, who, in the
long run, will save the Republic
from the complications that sooner
or later are sure to arise in the con-
gested cities where living conditions
are becoming too hard to bear"

SfonewaiPs Bridge Builder.

Stonewall Jackson, said a Vir- ginia veteran to the Baltimore Sun, used to tell a story about 0 bridge builder.
 This bridge builder was called old Miles. He was very necess sary to Jackson, because the Himsy bridges on the line Cf march were continually being swept away by the floods or de- -stroyed by the enemy and in these contingencies Niles was a regular jewel. He could run up a bridge in the time it would take another man t0 make the measurements.
 One day the Union troops burned a bridge across the Shen- andoah. Stonewall Jaekson called old Miles to him and said:
 "You must put ali your men to work, Miles. and you must keep them at 1t all hight, for I've got to have a bridge across this stream by morning. My engi- ueer will draw up the plans for you"
 We'll, early the next morning very much WorrIeds met old Miles.
 f'See here, he said, dhbfouslys chow about that bridge? Did ehe engineer give yoa the plan?"
 Old Mifes t0ok the cigar from his mouth 8rd fficked the ashes off with 8 sheer.

rlotI1ers as rlatcinnakers.

If in the village of Tigara5 in Northwestern Alaska, one sees a young man beating out piece of metal and fashioning finger ring, 1t is usually intended for some young woman, but if re- mains for the meeting of the two mothers tO arrange matters.
 The two families may be liv- ing close together, yet the moth CT of the young man will call on her neighbor and tell her how she has intended to be more nelghborlye but she has been SO busy.
 The neighbor will declare how delighted she is to see her.
 Then the visitor begins to tell how good her son is. Further, they never go hungry, as her son is such fine hunter that he brings home plenty of food.
 The girls mother, in return, dilates on her daughters skill as a cook and how good she is at sewing.
 Et is finally decided that the young man shall enter the girls family on a sort of trial. If the girl turns up her nose and makes faces, he may as we'll leave, as the match will never amount to but should she greet Eim with an occasional smile and allow him to sit by her side in the evening, it will all be clear sailing, and they will unite as husband and wife.

What She Could Do

It was at Montauk Point after our soldiers had returned from Cuba. It happened one day, says Harper's Harper's Weekly, that 8 pretty young woman of 16 was endeavoring to cheer those around her, when she overheard d sailor exclaim, "Oh, Lord!"
 Thinking to rebuke him for his profanity, she said:
 'Didn't I hear you call upon the name of the Lord? 1 am one of his daughters. Can 1 ask him anything for you?'
 Looking up into her bright, cheerful countenance, he replied, 'I reckon you can, Miss"
 'Wha5 is it you wish?" she asked.
 Raising his eyes to hers, he extended his hand and said: ''You might ask him to make me his son-in-law."

The Farmer Boy

A great many pleasant things
 are always being said about the
 farmer boy. 1 myself have
 thrown him a good many bon
 quets. He is certainly a fine.
 sturdy specimen of American youth. He it is who becomes
 the great of our country. He IS splendidly honest, fearless in the
 face of graft and trickery, ,shfewd, 7,
 kindly and conscientious in his dealings.
 Then what more is there to de sire in a man? This one great thing chivalry! That is the ono thing yet needful in the farmer boy.
 Long ago, in the days of knight hood, the young mans greatest duty was the protection of wom- anhood. He trained himself from childhood in skill with arms, in strength of muscle, in order to defend wOman's honor, to secure her comfort and safety. Men fought to the death for their women and gave them the greatest difference and consider ation. Those were the days of chivalry.
 Today the boy sees a woman, his mother, most likely, being robbed before his eyes, and he does not lift finger in her de- fense. She is being robbed of her health, her good looks, her pleasute in life, finally of life itself, and her knights do not even glance at her enemy. pirey 0o not see him. They do not see that work is killing her, that the woman who made it possible for them to be alive in this grand old world, who watched over them and guarded shem from ev every possible harm while they were little and weak and ignO rant, who gave them g love and care which could not be bought l for all the money in the world, they do not see that she is even now giving her life fer them.
 Hard work is good for man, if it be not too hard and there is not too many hours of it, SO also 1t is not bad for 8 woman. But | q woman is bUiIt differently from a man. Her hard work does not look hard to a man. Et is not to lift big loads, to perform hard tasks of muscle and braWn. Her work Is the slow and mOnot0nous of a thousand lfttle tasks, all alike today, tomorrow, and a year from tomorrow. She sweeps, she dasts5 she scrubs, she washes and irons, she sews and mends, and makes beds and cooks, and at the same time she gives loving, watchfuE care to
