DESERT WEAPONS.

There are, not counting the rifles
and carbines captured from the Ital-
ians nor the regulation arms dealt
out by the Turks, weapons of every
kind and age in the camp, writes the
Tripoli correspondent of the London
Express. l have seen within a few
hundred yards of one another a
chassepot rife, a double barreled
shotgun, a two handed Crusaders
sword { magnificent piece of steel
over four feet long), slender, in
laid scimitar, Moorish curved dag
ger and an automatic pistol.
There is no doubt that the desert
is supplying Turkey with soldiers as
efficient as it provided her with food
for them to eat. A wonderful place,
the desert, able to pour forth unex-
pected riches.

RICHES THRUST UPON HIM
Though German Did Not Know u, He
Had identified Himself With
Nefarlous Gang.

Not very long ago German or
ganist, who went to st. Petersburg
to live, had there an experience with
new cap that for a time almost
made him believe in the magic of
the Teutonic fairy tales.
The organist bought the cap dur
ing his first day at the Russian capt.
tai, and wore it the next day when
he went out for walk. On his re-
turn to his lodgings he was amazed
to find two gold purses in his pocket,
one of which contained a sum equiv
alent to $50.
The next day, after his usual walk,
he found four purses in his outside
pocket, a find that caused him to
doubt his senses. A third day, with
similar profitable result, sent hir-
to the chief of police to tell his story.
The authorities detailed a detec-
tive to go with the German to the
tailor who made the cap. Investi-
CATION disclosed the fact that it had
been constructed of an odd piece of
English cloth brought in by stran-
ger. From it the tailor had made
fifteen identical caps to order. Hav-
ing a bit left, he had constructed a
sixteenth cap, which was the one he
sold to the organist.
The detective then followed the
organist through the streets of the
city, when the mystery was solved.
The cap, it appears-was the emblem
of gang Of pickpockets working CO.
operatively. The one who secured a
purse dropped it into the pocket of
the first confederate he saw. The
cap had identified the German, and
he had reaped the reward.
With this clew it was an easy mat
fer for the Russian authorities to
catch the whole gang.-Youth's
Companion.

M. TAFI'S RAVEN.

Once upon a midnight dreary,
AS pondered, weak and weary,
Wondering if the nomination
Would be mine as twas before:
Suddenly there came tapping,
As of some one gently rapping,
Rapping on the White House door,
"'Tis some office-seeker," said l,
"Simply that and nothing more"
Open wide flung the shutter,
When, with many firt and flutter,
In there strobe stately raven,
Black as any stevedore,
Perched upon the bust of Teddy,
Just above my Office door;
Perched and sat, and nothing more.
Prophet" said I, ."good or evil,
Standpat or insurgent devil,
Tell me this much, implore:
Who will get the nomination
At the National Convention?
Will they give me four years more?"
Quoth the raven:
Theodore"
Prophet" shrieked 1, ching of evil,
Democrat, if not the devil,
Get thee hence from off my doorp'
But the raven, never fitting,
Still is sitting, still is sitting,
On the bust of Teddy grinning,
Grinning at me, on my door,
And feel my hopes are sinking,
And my chances ever shrinking,
While that bird is perched there,
blinking,
Cracking out his Theodore"

RIVERMEN PREDICT
VERY HIGH WATER
Big Floods Looked For ALONE
The Mississippi.
Prac tically All the Precipitation of a
Winter of Shows is Waiting the
Breakup of Spring

Rlvermen ara beginning to whisper
quietly among themselves about the
giant floods that the great Father of
Waters is going to experience in a
few weeks, when the vast amount Of
snow in the country tributary to the
river begins to melt, and huge
volumes of water begin to pour into
the Mississippi.
The water, they believe will be
higher than in some years past.
Some old-timers on the river are
predicting that one of the most IN
usual floods ever seen in this vicinity
will follow the opening up of spring.
Spring FRESHET."
With the unusual falls of snow anG
rain throughout the past four months.
topped off by record breaking SHOWS
throughout the valley during February
and March, veteran rivermen are
beginning TO predict a spring,
freshet' of the variety the old timers
recall with something like terror.
Practically all of the precipitation
of the past winter remains in the
valley. for the perilous cold and
continued severe weather has frozen if
on the ground and in the smaller
valleys and water ways, where it now
lies waiting the first breakup.
RIVER IS NOW LOW
The river during the winter has
slowly receded from the 16 and IL foot
stages of early in December to the IL
and 12-foot stages at present. This is
proof positive that the vast amount of
precipitation has not yet gone, but
that what is not absorbed by mother
earth is waiting for a chance to crush
things somewhat during the present
month Dubuque Times Journal.

Lancaster's City Rest Room.

An item handed to The Herald for
pub LEGATION two weeks ago. but which
was crowded out of that issue and
overlooked last week, contained some
interesting information concerning the
public rest room for ladies. in the
city hall building in this city. which
has proven Of great service and COM
fort to many thousands of ladies since
it was established few years ago.
There are only two rest rooms in the
state maintained by their cities and
this is one of the two. It is under
the management of The Womans Club
which has many meritorious acts of a
public nature to its credit. A matron
is regularly employed to look after
the room and its guests. Herewith
is report of each month s attendance
during 1911, except the month of
July, when the room was closed for
repairs Tho total for the eleven
months is $3.50. By months it was
as follows: January $50, Feb COS,
March $40. April 684. May 93S, June
678, Aug $50, Sept. 1131, Oct. 935,

Ice Very Thick

While it is generally known here
that the ice on tbs IiVer is the
thickest il has been for at least thirty
years, yet we have heard Of no one OF
late making an exact sounding, not
since it passed the two-foot mark,
says the Bellevue Herald.
AT Dubuque, however, a gentleman
who is employed at the ice harbor,
states that the ice at that point along
the shore of the harbor averages 3
feet, while in the middle Of the
channel it is between 80 and 80
inches. The boat works there are
launching large tiatboats. 60 fl. in
length, on the ice which makes nc
impression on it. The harbor man
does not think the ice will 60 before
the 9Th or 9Th of April, and predicts
great damage will result unless the
thaw should come by degrees. With
heavy rains the big big cakes would
sweep everything before them. Some
talk of blasting the ice loose from
around the bridges with the hope of
alleViating the danger of some degree.
