out OF the stall. lift the latch of the door
which opened into the barn, lift the cover
OF the grain box and help himself 10 the

CLEVER BEAUTY.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: have
ever told you about Beauty, my mothers
ne. cat? He died before I was horn, so, OF
course I have never seen him, yet my
mother has told me about him so often that
Il seems as if I had really known him. He
was 2 handsome tiger cat, and in his prime
he weighed twenty pounds, so you see he
rnerited his name.
Beauty was 4 great hunter and must
have been very agile, for he was once seen
TO catch a humming bird, and several times
he brought small snakes into the house
He was something Of Il fisherman, too tor
once he captured q great. green frog
from nearby pond and deposited 1t, I'M
hurt. on the piazza. He then sat down
10 watch his prey till the frog croaked'
which frightened poor Beauty very much.
Beauty never walked when he could ride
and he always used the dumbwaiter as
means of transportation between the dining

THE TCAD'S TRICK.

Dear Little Men and Little Women One
day my mother, sister and 1 were out in
the garden watching d little toad. My
mother took a little stick and very, very
gently scratched him. He seemed to like
it, for he rolled from side TO side and
Wlnlled. I was so interested that when
they went in I did as my mother had
done. I ran the stick down his back, and
what do you think happened? I saw
something under his coat very bright.
Then my quiet little toad, to show how
wise he was, gently and carefully pulled
off his coat, drawing his legs out first, and
then blinked and rolled 1t over his eyes,
until--where had 1t gone" lie had rolled
it into a ball and swallowed it. Hoping
this story will be of, interest 20 the read

The river. sorger with ice, rose from
% feet Wednesday night to S1.9 feet
early today. and then the gorge broke.
Inside OF three hours the river fell
more than five feet and at o'clock
the sauge read 26 | feet.
Tho boats on the river were left
high and dry by the rapid fall and the
levee was Strewn with wreckase. The
property loss will exceed S200,000
The gorge which formed yesterday
after the breaking Of the gorge which
had held for three weeks, gave way at
dawn under the pressure Of ice and
water which had come down the Mis-
souri, river into the Mississippi.
Weather bureau reports indicate
that the Mississippi river is rising
north Of st. Louis The railroad
tracks on the levee were inundated
and the falling water left them cov-
cred with debris and ice.
The gorge at Alton. twenty-three
miles north OF st Louis, broke this
morning and Will reach here during
the day. The bridge at Alton caused
the Ice foes to 0anA up again and
another gorge is forming there.
South of St Louis the river is full

organs of Colonel Thomas II. Swope.

Death was at first attributed to

The alleged murder plot, said to

Added credence is given this hy-

That the typhoid epidemic was not
