Acme Of Laxlness.

A story is told Of man who held
the Kansas record for laziness. AS he
was too lazy to do anything at all, his
neighbors finally decided to bury him
alive. They laid him In the bottom Of
the wagon and started for the ceme-
terry. On the way they were met by
q man who asked what they were do
ing with that man.
HE won't work, and he has nothing
to eat, so we are taking him to the
cemetery to bury him alive" was the
reply.
Touched with pity. the stranger
said:
Friends, I have sack Of corn

Hearing this, the lazy man raised
his head long enough to inquire:
els it shelled?"

"Drive on" interrupted the doomed
man as his head disappeared from

Erin's ancient minstrelsy. An assem-
bly, Of harpers was held at Belfast

ARE HOMELESS.
Levees Are Crumbling-GOvernment
Furnishing Rations to 100000 in
Mississippi and Louisiana.

New Orleans, La, May 2.-Having
worked it's way down the valley over
two-thirds the length Of the country
and left death and desolation in its
wake, the crest of the Mississippi
flood is today in Louisiana, flooding
thousands of acres and rich cane
growing country and rendering thous
ands homeless.
The levees about Torras, La, went
out late yesterday. Water poured
through the town and inundated the
country for miles around.
Owing to the constant wash of wat
ers against the tops of the levees for
the past few days, they crumbled
when struck by a slight rise.
Today thousands of men are engag-
ed strengthening the levees along the
Mississippi.
While the break yesterday will give
some relief to the points south of Tor
ras, the situation is still critical today.
The government is now furnishing rat
ions to 100000 homeless persons in
Mississippi and Louisiana and the in
dications are that this number will be
increased by $4,000 within few
days.
Governor Sanders today reached Tor
ras and personally directed the work
of caring for the refugees, and re-
pairing the levee break, is possible.
The crevasse was over 200 feet wide
this morning and other sections of
the levee were threatening to 90 out.
The government food supplies are run
ming short and not many of the refug-
ees can be sheltered. Over 5000 are
reported to be living on RATS with
their live stock.
