TIRE LEVEE SYSTEM.

The dispute between the advo.
Gates of the levee system and the
advocates of the outlet system, as
to which is the proper and better
means of protecting the lowlands
Of Louisiana, Mississippi and Ars-
kansas during the flooding time
Of the Mississippi river, always
waxes warm just. after the mighty
river breaks down the levees and,
spreading over the country, de-
stroys millions of dollars worth of
property. In the early eighties
Just after the lands Of South
Louisiana were deluged, and the
people almost ruined, the people
were told by the advocates of the
levee system that the disaster
would not have happened il the
river had been Strengthened and
the levees built higher, thereby
oonnning the waters and forcing
Il to scour out it's bed and deepen
the river; that safety alone de.
pended on this method of pro-
eeosion. The advocates of~this
plan were lead by Mr.. Eads Of
Mississippi ietty fame.
A. opposed to this plan was
what was called the Cowden or
outlet system. The advocates of
this system claimed that perma-
msnent safety from floods could
only be obtained by. opening all
the river outlets and making ar
tincal outlets, and whep~-tAe'

GaT1E was jogging along one after

IV town at the top of Ohio, right
on the lake, when we run
acrost some remainders of busted
circus riding in a stake and chain wag-
on. They was two fellers-bo Jug
glers,. acrobats and tumblers and a
balloon. The circus had busted with
out paying them nothing but promises
fur months and months. and they had
took the team and wagon and balloon
by attachment, they said. They was
carting her from the little burg the
show busted in to that good sized
town on the lake. They would sell
the team and wagon there and get
money enough to put an advertisement
in the theater paper, which Is like a
Bible to them showmen, that they had
q balloon to sell and was at liberty.
Dr. Kirby and them got real well
acquainted in about three minutes.

guess the Blanchet brothers done
theirn too. But they was too many
OF 'em fur us-too dern many. When
| come to I was all mashed about the
face and two fellers was sitting on me.
The crowd was tying DR.. Kirby to that
parachute bar. They straddIed his legs
over the parachute bar and tied his
feet below it. He was still fighting.
but they was too many fur him. They
left his arms united, but they held
'em, and then
Then they cut her loose. She went
up like she was shot from a gun.
The fellers that had holt of me for
got me and stood up, and l stood up,
too, and looked. The balloon was ris-
ing fast. DR.. Kirby was trying to
pull himself up to the trapeze bar,
twisting and squirming and having q
hard time of it and shooting higher
every second Finally he made a squirm
and raised himself a lot and grabbed
the rope at one side of the bar. And
then he reached and got the rope on
the other side and set straddle of her.
And jest as he done that the wind
ketched the balloon good and hard,
and she turned out toward Lake Erie

1t was too late fur him to pull the
rope that sets the parachute loose then
and drop on to the land.
I rushed out Of that schoolhOuse
yard and down the street toward the
lake front and run, stumbling along
and looking up. She was getting
smaller every minute. And with my
head in the air looking up was run
ming plumb to the edge Of the water
before l knowed it.
She was away out over the lake now
and awful high and going fast before
the wind, and the doctor was only q
speck. And as l stared at that specB
away up in the sky I thought this was
a mean world to live in, fur there was
the only real friend ever had and nc
way fur me to help him. I guessed he
would be drownded and would never
see him again now. And all of sud.
den something busted loose inside OF
me, and I sunk down there at the edge
of the water, sick at my stomach and
weak and shivering. .-,,r.G'ss<"

But before I left that there town

That was to hunt up that Teller with

him with coupling pin and felt hull

The last we seen of Looey was a
couple Of days later when we told him
goodby in his shop. Old Mr.. Wilcox
was explaining to him the science OF
them last looks he was so famous at
when be was a younger man. Young
Mr.. Wilcox was laying on table fur
Looey to practice on, and Looey was
learning fast. But he nearly broke
down when he said goodby, fur he
liked the doctor. ..
"Doc," he says, III you was to die
within a hundred miles Of me Id 60, ="
he says, "and no other hands but mine
should lay you out. And it wouldn't
cost you cent either. Nor you neither

The next town we come to there was
county fair, and the doctor run acrost
an old pal Of his'n who had show
on the grounds and wanted to hire him
fur what he called ballyhoo man.
Which was the first time I ever hearn
them called that, but got better &C.

the fellers that stands out in front and
gets you all excited about the Siamese
twins or the bearded lady or the snake
charmer or the Circassian beauties or
whatever it is inside the tent as repre-
scented upon the canvas. The doctor
says he will do it fur week, jest fur
fun, and mebby pick up another Teller
to take Looey's place out there.
This feller's name is Watty Sanders,
and his wife is fat lady in his own
show and very good natured when not
intoxicated nor mad at Watty. She
was billed on the curtains outside fur
$50 pounds, and Watty says she really
does weigh nigh on to 400: But being a
fat lady's husband amt no bed Of rosy
ease at that, Watty tells the doctor.
It's like every other trade-it has Its

1t before it was sold.
The next evening we run acrost
them fellers on the street, and they
was feeling purity blue. They hadn't
been able to sell that team and wag-
on, which it was eating it's meals reg
lar in livery stable, and they had
been doing stunts in the street that
day and passing around the hat, but
not getting enough fur to pay ex-
penses.
"Where's the balloon?" asts the doc
tor. And l seen he was sicking his
intellects on to the job of making her
pay.
In the livery stable with the wag-
on" they tells him.
He says he is going to figger out a
way to help them boys. We went to the
livery stable and overhauled that bal
loon. 1t was an awful job too. But
they wasn't a rip in her, and the para
chute was jest as good as new.
"There's no reason why we can't
give show of our own,' says DR.. Kir-
and that balloon. What we want is a
lot with a high board fence around it,
like a baseball grounds, and the chance
to tap gas MAN." He says he'll be
willing to take chancet on it, even
paying the gas company real money to
fill her up.
The next day he finds lot that will
do jest fine 1t has been used fur a

been moved, and the old building is to
be tore down. He hired the place
cheap. And he goes and talks the gas
company into giving him credit to ill
that balloon, which l kept wondering
what was the use Of filling her. fur
none Of the four of us had ever went
up in one. And when l seen the hand
bills he had had printed wondered all
the more. They read as follers:
