Captain, lookl the sky is dark,
The thunder crashes loud,
The hurting waves dash DER our bark,
And life by natures covered"
The Captain brave rocked not the wave,
Nor heard the thunder roll,
With furrowed brow hes speaking now
To his sturdy crew of brown:
"PULL, PULL for the shore"
This-and nothing more.
captain, list to the angry roar,
A storm of wind and wave,
Our craft yields not to tiller or oar,
Turn back, o, sir, we crave. +"
The Captain brave recks not the wave,
Nor sees the lightning's fash,
He's speaking now to his crew OF brown,
ssPULL, PULL for the shore"
This-and nothing more.
Captain, see, all is lost,
By foaming torrents rage
Our gallant craft is idly tossed,
Nor yields to guide or gage"
This potent word from the Captain heard,
'sPULLl What care for tiller lost,
What reek | Of price or cost?.
PULL" -
Genius may mold and ambition grow cold,
The surest road to coveted goal
Is PULLr'
This-and nothing more.

The United States mail steamer Sen
ator Cordili, plying between Natchez and
Vicksburg, and now deyoting most of her
time to relief work, had very marrow
escape Sunday when she played central
figure in heavy tornado which swept
over this section, taking in Waterproof
on its route.
The boat was taking horned stock
aboard to bring to Natchez to escape the
high water.
When the wind struck her the boom
and rigging came down and stage plank
went overheard.
Part of the boom struck negro roust-
about, Tom Smith, breaking his leg.
The boat came to Natchez and Smith
was sent to the Hospital.
The Cordill made necessary repairs and
left yesterday morning for Vicksburg. =

The river and harbor appropriation
bill which has been under consideration
by the Senate Committee on Commerce
for the past month has been reported to
the upper branch of Congress and will be
taken up Immediately. 1t carries in round
numbers $34, 053, 900, being an increase
of $7,791, 900 over the House measure.
The increases are largely due to the de
mands OF flooded sections of the country,
particularly along the Mississippi and
the Missouri, the necessity for emergency
appropriations to strengthen levees and
repair crevasses adding considerably to
the amount which the bill carries.
While the bill does not appropriate as
large an amount as the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress has stood for in
its resolutions the officers of the organi-
cation feel encouraged over the growing
sentiment for generous waterway bill
making yearly appropriations for APP
proved projects. Less and less does the
personnel side Of legislation enter into the
consideration of the measure, and each
project is coming TO stand on its own
merits rather than on log-rolling which
marked the bill in years gone by.

Good roads and improved waterways
go hand in hand, Congress having de-
eided to deal generously with the good
roads movement during the present ses-
sion OF Congress. In connection with
the American Road Congress to be held
next fall Secretary Wilson has authorized
Director Logan Waller Page of the Office
of Good Roads to give a complete exhibit
of the governments work on the public
roads of the country, showing how unim-
proved roads hurt the farmer and how
improved roads aid not only the farmer
but the consumer.
-Four of the biggest associations OF the
country interested in public roads are
consolidating their forces in order to
make the next American Road Congress
the biggest affair Of its kind in the his
tory of the movement.

GOT HIS EYES ON THE
WRONG HORSE.

The diplomatic circle at the court
house was ID an uproar this morning
and were gathered in little knots about
the corridors discussing In stage whis
pers, the theft Of a horse in which one
high county official and a L. S. Off
Ger are implicated List to the story
Thomas Burke, United States mar
shal, is accused Of stealing the horse
and implicated with him Is none other
than Judge win Linn, Judge Of the
superior court. Also the net of circum
stantial evidence is closing around s.
L. Newman who, IL is alleged, was
also implicated in the act.
WhehiThomas Burke went from bis
office to his home last night he dis
covered his horse, which had been
loose in the yard, was missing.
straightway and without further ado,
did Mr. Burke form himself into a
searching party and so forth to ascer-
tain the exact whereabouts Of his DE-
parted animal Having procured d
saddle horse from the stables of the
sheriffs force he rode hard and long
and was about to give up the chase,
when it is alleged he was hailed by
s. L. Newman and upon being inform
ed that a horse was the object of the
Burke searching party Mr.. Newman
gave the information that a loose
horse was grazing on South Fourth
street straightway did Mr. Burke HE
himself to South Fourth and gazed
upon aforesaid loose horse. While
he was thus engaged Judge VIII Linn
happened upon the scene and offered
Mr. Burke a hitchrein from his own
horses bride with which to lead the
animal home The proposition was
accepted but when the horse had been
caught and an attempt was made to
lead it away, a vigorous protest was
entered by a very small but very de-
termined boy, who said the horse be-
longed to his mother Disregarding
the statement, Mr. Burke again start
ed to lead the animal away, but was
stopped this time by the woman her
self and told in no uncertain terms
that he was trying to lead away prop
erty that did not belong to him and
intlmated strongly that such an act
would be construed as nothing less
than a theft Upon thus being con.
vinced OF his error, or caught with
the goods, whichever is correct, he
released the horse and returned home
in haste, and eyewitaessee state that
his own horse was standing peace.
