SAND
TF r /! +
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author of AT Good Old Siwash.

Sand Is composed of tiny bits OF
rock, nibled off the face of the eGrth
by the relentless tooth OF time It
is also mysterious substance in the
human economy which makes s>me
men get up after they have leen
knocked down and so after another
wallop with vim and devotion.
Sand is hard and gritty and indie
structible When it is put on rail-
road track, it enables a locomotive
to climb steep grade. When It is
in a human being. It enables him to
get up at the bottom of the tobosgan
slide of trouble and walk back.
When sand is mixed with cement
and made into concrete, 1t will with
stand heat, cold strains, and ham
mers. When sand is poured into the
human disposition, it enables 1t to
endure anger, frosts. hard work and
knockers without showing even a
dent.
When sand is made into mortar
and placed between stones, it holds
| them together for hundreds of years.
When sand is put into a mans
courage, it enables him to keep on
racing after his legs have quit, keep
on fighting after he has been licked,
and keep on working after the
sheriff has carried off his desk,
Sand is in reality the fragments
of ancient mountains. carried down
into the valleys by the rushing riy-
ers. And it is also bits from the
lives of fine old heroes carried into
human minds today by history and
romance, poetry and drama, Some
non have some of the sand which
Paul Jones used when he kept on
lighting after he should have been

Elk. COMMITTEE
MEETS TODAY
Citizens Who Directed Fight
Against Recent Flood,
Confer

A meeting OF the Citizens Execu
tive committee upon whom devolved
he direction of the work done dur
ing the recent high water period
will be held at 10 o'clock this morn
ing at Mayor Parsons office. TIE
committee is composed of Mayor
Parsons, E. A. Smith, II. S. Candee.
II. S. Antrim, John S. Aisthorpe.
David S. Lansden, James E. CALI
gan, Alex S. Fraser and John B.
Greaney.
The members realize the neces-
sity of at once proceeding to devise
ways and means towards betterment
of the city levees, and by their in
auence and suggestions prevail upon
the general government, the rail-
roads and the drainage comm ssion-
ers to get busy as soon as possible
on the matter Of strengthening and
raising the leyees in the drainage
district.
A member Of the committee says
Cairo will not lose single industry
in the drainage district provided
the proper protection is afforded
and that work is not too long de-
layed.
The executive committee will
have to audit all of the bills against
the city on account of the expendi-
lures in the protection Of the levees
during the food stage, before these
bills are brought TO the attention of
the city council.
A meeting Of the Cairo Drainage
District Commissioners will be held
at an early date to take steps ueces-
sary to afford absolute protection
from another such occurrence as be-
fell this valuable section over two
weeks ago.

Mr.. Ismays attention was called
