FURTHER TROUBLE FEARED

Though the acute suffering of flood
victims in the central and northern
portion of Indiana has been relieved,
further trouble is feared along the
lower end of the Wabash river, which
has just been reached by the crest
of the flood.
Direct word from Fort Wayne,

many other cities and towns is to the
effect that the fight to relieve priva-

plants are still out of commission.

TRICK TURNED BY DIPLOMAT
NIcaraauan Postage Stamps, Issued
at Unfortunate Time, Lost That
Country tho Canal

A postage stamp which played a
part In history is told about by M.
Bunau-Varilla in his book on the Pan
anna canal. The incident occurred
when the discussion over the relative
merits Of the Panama and Nicaragua
routes was at its height. Bunau-
Varilla had been working vigorously
for the Panama route, making use OF
the two arguments Of less cost and
immunity from active volcanoes
One day he recalled that Nicaragua
had issued q handsome stamp, show
ing a volcano in full activity. He at
once sent to the dealers in foreign
stamps in Washington, and obtained
ninety of these stamps, which he for
warded to the ninety senator's, along
with bits of paper bearing the words:
Postage stamp of the republic OF
Nicaragua; an official witness Of the
volcanic activity of Nicaragua"
The catastrophe at st. Pierre took
place about this time, to deepen the
impression of volcanic danger, and
the Panama route was adopted by the
narrow margin Of four votes.

Boer Umbrella.

Umbrellas for some inscrutable rea-
son for the seasons In South Africa
are not so changeable as ours, are
much used by the Beers. In common
with our own views, the Boer believed
that aneumbrella gave a man an air
of distinction, though the shocking
specimens they carried, which remind
ed one very much Of Sairey Camp,
would not have been calculated to
possess this attribute among our own
countrymen. Where these umbrellas
came from Is one Of the many un-
known facts OF the old-time republic.
They were big and bulky, as. rule Of
alpaca, and the catch was generally
out of order, but they were always to
be found In the guestroom when the
"old man" was at home, and always
accompanied him In the spider when
he journeyed into town on Saturday.
They were rarely opened in public,
because II the weather was wet the
Boer stayed at home. An umbrella is
not considered necessary on horse
back, as rule, but the Boer carried
it here just the same as he did when
driving in his spider, and often used
it as whip to urge his steers on

DEATH DUE TO IMAGINATION
Dr. Mary Walker Cites an Instance
Says Georgia Banker Might
Have Been Saved.

I deem 1t cruel thing to have In
sisted that "Mr. Walker must die OF
poison" when he had lived 80 long.
DR.. Mary Walker writes to the WASH
ington Post.
Had he been a patient Of mine I
should have declared that he could
not die, and proceeded with saving
methods. When my father was q
medical student the following story
was told to him:
A large, stout fellow was awaiting
his day to be hanged for murder,
Some doctors persuaded the warden
of the prison to allow an experiment
promising not to hurt the man, pro-
vided the criminal consented.
The doctors told him that they
could bleed him to death. and spare
his relatives the ignominy OF his De-
ing hanged" and he readily consent
ed to die that way.
He was placed upon a table, tin
pan put on the floor at his feet. and
another placed high above 1t with
puncture to let the water out In
drops.
The mans eyes were covered and
his body fastened to the table and
blunt instrument used to press hard
against his foot Then the water
falling in big drops into the pan made
the noise that convinced the man that
he was being bled.
The doctors talked low about the
quantity Of blood he might have. and
occasionally felt bis pulse, and IN q
whisper stated he would be dead IN a
few minutes longer, and he did die
without one drop Of blood having
been taken.
Many people have died because OF
having been told that they must die,
when If they had been told that they
would not die they would have recov-
cred.

With a big piece Of fried carp as

back to just behind the gills. 1t ut

I tied one end of a. line to the collar
and the other to the boat and got

along with ease. yelled to the driver
to unhitch his mules and trot along be-

When We Criticize.

No one who habitually points out
others failures can be q success him
self There is something about the
habit Of criticism that prevents the
free, full expression Of good In the
life Of the critic. It has been said, for
example. that professional literary
critics never turn out any good litera-
ture. Their habitual attitude of criti-
cism dries up the sources OF literary
production" Whether this sweeping
statement Is true in every case or not,
IL suggests warning that most of US
need to think about To be habitually
interested In seeing and speaking
about the failures Of others is to dry
up our own powers Of good. And the
reverse is equally true; to be sensi-
lively conscious Of the good that is in
others, to discover 1t and talk about
1t freely, is to bring good into being In
our own lives that might otherwise
never come into existence How much
better 1t Is to discover that which
makes for life than that which makes
for deathl-Sunday School Times.

ago to do some work for film con-
Germ. The mechanic was glad to get a
chance to visit the east, and at the
close of his trip Of business and pleas

to the New York manager Of the pic

The manager was amazed.
"All right, Is it?" asked the me-

"All right?" replied the manager.
"It's a masterpiece. How did you

"Oh. WELL" said the mechanic, who
was visibly provoked, 'if it's too high.
