LENTEN cASUlSTS.

Lenten fastcrs in the middle ages
were excellent casnists, if rather
weak in their zoology. To them all
was fish that came from the sea.
Whale flesh was roasted and served
with peas, the tongue and tail being
accounted special titbits; the por-
pOise, too, was roasted and'served as
a Lenten dish, even at the table of
The king. French settlers in Canada,
however, showed the greatest ingc-
nuity in this respect, when, observing
that the beaver spent much of its
time under water, they determined to
class it as a fish, and dined on roast
beaver on fast days with great con-
tent, the flesh being sweet and ten
der, not unlike pork.-London

Whole Families on Roofs.

All of the first terrible night, while
the city of Peru, Ind, was in inky
darkness because of the cutting off of
the gas and electric light supply, men,
women and children, and in some in
stances entire families, lay fiat where
they had crawled to the roofs of their
homes, waiting for daylight to bring
relief. Hundreds of others were
damned in the courthouse and lodge
buildings, which were in the only four
blocks of the city not under water
The first thought of rescue parties
was to send into the town boats to
carry to safety those who were threat
ened with drowning. Telephone com
munication had been opened with
points in the residence and business
districts and from those marooned in
buildings it was learned that many
persons, including some women who
held their children In their arms, had
been on roofs exposed to an almost
freezing temperature all night One
man telephoned he had seen several
fall from exhaustion and slip into the
water. 1t was the purpose of the res
cuers first to reach those in greatest
danger. Hundreds of others huddled
together at the courthouse, although
in want of food and water, were to be
taken later.

Stohl and c. d. Williamson, and they
are employees of the American Tele-
graph and Telephone company
Stohl is wire chief at Dayton. He
reached the Dayton office of his COM
pany late the night before the floods
came The rush of the waters put all
the telephone batteries and power out
of commission. Forgetting thoughts
of escape, Stohl rummaged around
until he found a lineman's test set.
With this he rugged up a sending and
receiving apparatus, and cut in upon
the wire on the roof of the four-story
building This wire connected him
with Phoneton, testing station eight
miles away Thus he established COM
munication with Williamson, whose
batteries were still working
Then Stohl sent messages from the
flooded city, otherwise cut OF from
communication with the outside world.
All night he stuck to his post. All next
day he remained. The following noon
found him still on the roof of build
ing whose foundations were being
Slapped by the waters.
There he stayed In the rain and cold,

Heroic Rescues Common.

From all parts of Dayton come sto-
ries of heroic rescues. The stolid
volunteers pay no attention to them.
All of them for three days have con-
stantly offered their lives to save
others. Several of these men have
given their lives on rescue work.
Their names are unknown. Watchers
on the banks saw them trying to
reach persons in floating houses, saw
their boats upset and the men go
down.
Late in the day large frame house
foated down the river. Four women
were in the windows. AS they neared
the Main street bridge they waved at
the crowd on the banks and the build

Personality is just ones centralized
experience of the world, and there is
no way of making it greater except by
making that experience greater and
more centralized; in other words. be-
ing bigger, broader, better man or

ment, every moral victory, every bit of
solid work, will leave personality rich

FLY TO PIECES.
The Effect of Coffee on Highly Organ
ICED People.

'T have been a coffee user for
years, and about two years ago got
into very serious condition of dys-
pepsia and indigestion. It seemed to
me I would fly to pieces. was SO
nervous that at the least noise I was
distressed, and many times could not
straighten myself up because of the
pain"
Tea is just as injurious, because it
contains caffeine, the same drug found
in coffee.
MY physician told me I must not
eat any heavy or strong food, and or
dered a diet, giving me some medi-
cine. I followed directions carefully,
but kept on using coffee and did not
get any better.
Last winter my husband, who was
away on business, had Postum served
to him in the family where he board
ed. He liked it so well that when he
came home he brought some with him.
We began using it and I found it
most excellent.
While drank it my stomach never
bothered me in the least, and / got
over my nervous troubles. When the
Postum was gone we returned to cot
fee, then my stomach began to hurt
me as before, and the nervous con-
ditions came on again.
That showed me exactly what was
the cause of the whole trouble, so /

Heroes In All Glasses.

If great loss of life was averted
at Peru, this is due to some heroes of
the Owen Wister type, river men and
water rats from surrounding lakes,
who by unbelievable prowess with a
pair of fran oars rescued the doomed,
and in splendid harmony with their
virile efforts shines the spirit of wom-
en- who valiantly helped, supremely
oblivious to distressing surroundings.
Among the latter are Mrs. R. H.
Bouslog, Mrs. R. c. Edwards, and
Mrs. Albert Shirk, all three wives
of local millionaires, and also leaders
In the self-sacrifices required to pro-
vide sandwiches, coffee and smiles to
a panic stricken multitude in emer-

Among the boatmen two brothers,
Charley and Ted Knight, are praised
on the corners left in Peru. Ted, with
w. A. HUFF, a dentist braved the tur-
bulent waters of the Wabash river,
cutting OF Peru on the south side
and rendering uncertain the fate of the
inhabitants of South Peru. According
to the report the two rescuers reached
the opposite shore alive, after having
been overturned several times.

his intentions to Joseph Horowftz of
New York and Fred K Townsend of

They became enthusiastic and formed
a committee to collect the refund

Hang to Roof Thirty Hours.

After hanging to the roof of their
home for thirty hours, with a strong
wind blowing and heavy snow fall
ing, August Schmidt, wife and two
children were rescued. None of them
could move a muscle, being chilled
through. They were removed to Van
Cleve School, where hundreds of other
rescued were taken.
I'D have fallen into the water If it
hadn't been for daddy" exclaimed the
little girl, who was first of the four to
recover sufficiently to talk.
when the water came into the
house we had to climb on the roof.
Daddy held me and mamma held
brother. Oh, it was cold. 1 thought
l was going to die, but daddy kept
hold of me-"
A little boy, who, during the night
chung in full sight of the rescuers,
was rescued. He probably will die.
The little fellow was discovered after
the flood had risen SO high he could
not weather the waters.

Victims Are Cheerful.

One of the remarkable features was
the cheerful spirit with which flood
victims viewed their plight. This was
Dayton's first great flood in many
years. Much of the submerged area
had been considered safe from high
water, but as the majority of resi-
dents of these sections looked out on
all sides upon a great sweep of muddy,
swiftly moving water, they seemed un-
disturbed.
In some of the poorer sections the
attitude of the marooned was not so
cheerful. AS a motor boat passed be-
fore the second floor of one partly
submerged house a man leaned out
and threatened to shoot unless they
took off his wife and a baby that had
just been born. The woman, almost
dying. was let down from the window
by a rope and taken to a place of
refuge.
Further on, members of a motor
boat party were startled by shots In
the second floor of a house about
which five feet of water swirled. The
boat was stopped and a man peered
from the window of the house.
Why are you shooting?" he was
asked
ooh. just amusing myself shooting
at rats that come upstairs When are
you going to take me out of here?"
he replied.
The bodies of a woman and a baby
were seen floating down Jefferson
street, one of Dayton's main thorough
fares. It was thought they came from
the district north of the river.

Robber Prices of soatmen.

Boatmen in Peru, Ind, reaped for
tunes by carrying flood sufferers
from the danger zone at exorbitant
prices, according to NJ. s. Scott, a
travelling salesman of New York, who
arrived from Peru with two other
travelling men.
THE condition at Peru" said Mr..
Scott, cannot be told. I was at a
hotel across the street from the court
house and last night six babies were
born to women who lay on the bare
floor of the building. When we learned
of this we had them rowed across the
street and gave them our rooms. The
boatmen charged SIS each to row three
women across the street We paid
SIS to be hauled three miles, and
were lucky to get off that cheaply-"
