FEAR FLOOD AT
PORT DEPOSIT
Ice Conditions in Susquehanna
Are Threatening.

Residents OF Port Deposit. Md. are
preparing Tor another flood. which
strikes that place each year as the ice
In the Susquehanna river breaks and
forms jam.
The early preparations this year are
due to the extremely bad condition OF
the river. which makes many fear that
the town will suffer worse than In
previous years The ice at present Is
from fourteen inches TO fifteen feet
thick: the latter conditions prevailing
where the early ice broke up and then
piled high before another freeze.
Above the McCall's Ferry dam the
ice Is sufficiently high as to cause an
overflow, while below the dam ice
four and five feet thick Is to be found
everywhere. All along the shore the
ice Is assuming threatening aspect.
which has given rise TO the fears OF
the populace.
Already many OF the inhabitants
living along or near the shore are
packing their household effects pre-
paratory to hasty move to the
higher sections of the town. Some OF
the more timid have already taken the
necessary precautions and their valu-
able articles have been stored In a
place of safety.
Everything possible to prevent dis
aster is being done. Watchers are pre-
pared TO take stations along the river
front should the slightest signs OF
break In the ice be noticed.

PpRsIAN LORE ABOUT ROSE
Nightingale SINCE His Frenzled Love
for that Flower and Dleo
Beneath Rosebush.

Persian' legendary lore tells some
fancifuI stories about the rose which
have great poetic charm. For example.
the poet Altar wrote The Book Of the
Nightingale" telling how all the other
birds appeared In anger before the
throne OF Solomon, asking him to do-
stroy the nightingale. which would not
allow them TO rest by night, but pour
cd forth fits lays when peaceful ST.
lence should rein all over the earth
After prolonged argument the bird was
acquitted, for 1t explained with such
pathos that it's untimely melody could
not be restrained because OF It's fren-
Eied love for the rose, q passion no
hopeless and undying that II could
never be made voiceIess. Another
Persian belief Is that nightingales al
ways die beneath rose bushes, stupe-
fed By the scent. Jamie. a Persian
poet, wrote of how "the first rose APP
peared In Gulistan at the time tho
flowers demanded a new sovereign
from Allah, because the drowsy lotus
would slumber at night. At first the
maiden queen blossom was shown
white, and encircled with a protecting
guard Of thorns, but the poor night
gale fell into such an ecstasy OF love
over her charms, and so reckIessly
pressed his lovelorn heart against
those cruel thorns, that his blood. 30
far as It could trickle into the flowers
bosom. dyed It crimson"
Another fancy states that the Per
furae Of the rose was gained from
cup Of nectar thrown over It by the
little god Cupid, while its thorns we're
those stings OF bees used by him
Rs arrows In his wrath at finding
some roses scentless after all his
trouble.
The beds OF the 6hahs OF Persia I'm
ancient times were filed with rose
petals, which had to be often scattered
lest they become uncomfortable. This
must surely have been the Origin of
the saying: HE would complain OF
a bed OF roses" 1t was also claim
ed that a rose liquor would by one
glassful make the sternest monarch
merciful or the sickliest mortal slum-
Der amid his pains"
The rose Is emblemRtical Of Toy and
love, and was consecrated to Venus,
the goddess Of beauty, from whose
path 1t was said to have first sprung.
Crimson roses, "gemmed with dew
drops" formed the browning garland
of the Romans youthful Comus, god
Of feasting, and the Turks believed II
absolutely wicked to step on a rose
petal or leave It lying ON the ground

How a Play Is Written.

When Eugene Walter writes a play
the tools necessary to the process are
one large room, one outfit of furniture
and one exceptionally rapid stenog-
rapher. Mr.. Walter and the stenog-
rapher enter the room. The door is
locked, and work is begun by placing
the furniture as it is to be placed on
the stage-in other words, by setting
the scene. Then the young dramatist
begins to act. He is all the charac-
tiers in his play. He rushes about the
apartments, quarreling with himself,
making love to himself, now standing
here as one person and then racing to
the opposite end of the apartment to
be another All the time he is speak
ing the words that come into his mind
as natural under the circumstances,
and the stenographer is taking them
down at top speed At the end of an
hour or two an act is finished, an in
visible curtain is rung down, and, If
the amanuensis hasn't tainted, as two
did in one day of labor on paid in
Full" the stage is set for the next

Miss bennington S
Boots
By James cathcoyt

Perhaps at a more fashionable wa
tering place Miss Bonnington's boots
would not have created the slightest
stir, but at Silver Beach the first ques
ton asked the newcomer on the piazza
was, Have you seen Miss Bonning
toms boots?" and a negative reply was
to admit a truly recentness Of arrival.
There was nothing remarkable
about the boots save that they were
Of Nile green waterproof material
laced high upon the calf At the re-
sort where stockings or at the best
the sort Of canvas slipper to be had
at the drug store for a quarter were
considered sufficient, the appearance
of Miss bennington on the sands at
the bathing hour was the signal for
the gathering Of crowd of the curl
Gus.
Natalie bennington protested an in
difference to the curious gaze of the
hotel patrons and the natives. She
could not help being aware Of the ex
element she created, yet she did not
discard the boots.
Ridley told himself a dozen times
that he did not love Miss bennington
because Of her boots. A dozen times
he had started to leave the place and
thus free himself from the web of
the enchantress, yet each time he saw
Natalie without the boots-and stayed.
In honest truth he could not tell
whether or not he loved the girl
Aside from these odd bathing boots
her attire was most demure. She af
fected the simplest dresses-and
looked better in them than the wom-
en- who wore silks and satins all out
Of harmony with the weather.
Her manner matched her garments,
for she was demure almost to a point
Of affectation and never roguisb
twinkle marred the calm serenity of
her full, lustrous eyes. Those eyes
were Natalie's greatest charm. Ridley
loved to lie on the warm sands in the
afternoon, sounding the placid depths
of her liquid orbs. At such times he
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1912-08-14

was sure that he was in love, and he
was-until he remembered the boots
1t was In this uncertain frame of
mind that he took to dressing early
for his bath, and then running up the
sands, around the point well out Of
sight Of the crowd around the boats
Not until he felt sure that she had
gone back to her dressing room did
be venture to return, but even with
this expedient his heart Continued to
be torn by uncertainty.
But 1t was to the boots that he owed
the final answer to his questioning
heart. He was running along the
sands on his way back to the bath
houses when, on the turn Of the point.
he discerned a huge sun umbrella.
Projecting below the edge he could
see Miss Bonnington's boots digging
desperately beside a mound Of sand
that covered the extremities Of her
companion Just as he passed, scarce
ly making a sound in his bare feet, he
heard a kiss; a loud, undeniable
smack.
It was not the sort Of kiss he
imagined some day bestowing upon
the arched curve of those red lips
when he should have at last decided to
speak. He had mentally rehearsed the
scene over and over again, now in a
dark corner Of the piazza, again under
the sunshade, but always In his dreams
the scene had ended In her whispered
Yes and his lips had touched hers,
tenderIy, reverently, in the first kiss OF
love.
That Miss bennington should seek
a secluded part Of the beach on which
to indulge her osculatory tendencies
was intolerabIe. He was man easily
swayed by little things and the loud
ness of the smack had sickened him,
while at the same time his loss told
him how truly he had loved the girl.
He dressed as rapidly as possible and
sought his room He was too miser-
able to mix with the others. He want
ed to be alone where he could think
1t all over.

Her Breach
of Discipline

The members of the Fourteenth reg

tention to Kitty O'Riley until she was
about il years old, but the members
q Company A had been more OBJ
servant This was because she was
the daughter of Corp. O'Riley, whose
wife was Iaundress for the company,
and because Kitty had been the best
looking and smartest kid In bar
racks since she was able to toddle
around.
AT four years old she won the name
OF kitty the Kid" and this had stuck.
at Ave she knew the name of every
"A" man. At six she knew the drill
and all the bugle calls. At seven there
were only three or four members OF
the company that could beat her at
reading and spelling. When she was
three years older her father was kill

every man in barracks picked the kid
ND and kissed her and murmured:
'.Poor little gal!' as he sat her down.
1t was about four years later that
Sergt. Brady received what was
called THE great snub." He had
been ten years in the service, and
eight years a sergeant, and he was q
sort Of father to the company. He
was the first to speak consoling words
to Widow O'Riley and the first to
hold the kid on his knee and wipe
away her tears with his bandana-
That was his visit of sympathy.
When he made his official visit he
was in full uniform and his face wore
a grave expression. 1t was wash day
with Mrs. O'Riley, but she turned
from her tubs to receive the caller.
Mrs O'Riley," began the sergeant
as he stood stiffly before her, Il am
