New Orleans, La, May Hun
dreds of people living in the back
country received no warning of the
floods until the torrent swept upon
them. They took refuge in trees and
on housetops and RATS, and for sew
eral days have been without food or
shelter from the heavy rains.
Citizens in the fioodmenaced dis
tricts were cheered today by the
weather bureau which issued a bulle-
tin lowering the estimate of the max
imum flood stage expected.
The army of men who are working
to strengthen the dikes will not cease
their labor, however.
Scores of refugees who were taken
to Morgansea early today say that
there are still hundreds more to be
taken from their flood prisons. In
many instances when warned, those
who remained scoffed at the advices
to flee.
1.-The levees always have held, "
they argued. why should they not
hold now?''
One family brought to Morgansea
last night had been existing for days
without sufficient food. When the
flood came the father rushed upstairs
with two small children and held
them on a mantel all night to keep
them above the rapidly rising water.
At daylight the entire family got out
on the roof.

BIG THINGS FROM LITTLE.

We are all familiar with the old
rhyme that 'big trees from little
acorns grow" and with the idea in
general that big things can be de-
veloped from little. a curious instance
of this. has recently occurred in Geor-
gia. where there was strike on the
Georgia railroad which led TO much
trouble and cost of S350,000. The
melting cause Of this strike, it is OK
planned, was the discharge of a flagman
for sending in a bill for 80 cents for
luncheon, The price OF the luncheon
was % cents, but the flagman was
hungry and had double service, being
charged 30 cents for his Erepeat - He
made return on his expense bill ac.
cordngly and was discharged for what
was claimed TO be his dishonesty in
claiming that he paid 90 cents for a
luncheon when the price of the lunch
con was 25 cents. His comrades, admir-
ing his hearty appetite and enjoying
his amazing storage capacity, prompt
ly and stcrnly resented his dis
charge and went on strike. de
mandng his restoration. After q
costly contest and much wrangling, he
was restored on the showing OF facts
But what vast trouble that extra %
cents did make.

EVIL CHANGE OF TONE.

The recent trial Of prominent mem
bers OF the Industrial Workers of the
World for alleged murderous doings in
the strike at Lawrence, Massachusetts,
resulted in the acquittal of the three
charged with crime. On leaving court,
Ettor. who seems TO lie the brains of
the whole organization in that region,
expressed himself apprcciative of the
fair trial that he had received, thank
ing the court for its consideration ana
for the Vindicatiou OF his claim OF IN
nocence of all criminality II connec-
tion with the charges As made against
him. There i. no doubt but that this
commcudation by Ettor of the court on
the result OF the trail was both heart
