Ferdinand de Soto was a Spanish
nobleman who closed an adventurous
career by discovering the Mississippi
river in about the same place where
it now stands. Several people had tried
to discover the Mississippi, in the hope
of getting genteel drag out of the
rivers and harbors bill, but all Of them
had died enroute in moist and
precipitate manner. De Soto was
the first white man who ever
stood on the banks Of the Mis-
sissippi with a fish pole and minny
pail, and he had just begun to be able
to tell the difference between red
horse and a croppie when he was
stricken by the cold, clammy hand of
the cholera 1nfantum.
De Soto was not much of home
body, but was continually trying to
discover something which had gold at
the other end Of it. His entire time was
employed in running down baseless
press dispatches about vast deposits of
gold which only lacked railroad con-
nection and smelter, and it finally
got so that he wouldn't even come
home to vote De Soto accompanied
Pizarro when that humane coyote con-
quered Peru by killing off all of the
male adults over four years Of age,

solid Gordon Of officers to have pro-
tected adequately the retail district.
Swiftly a guerilla warfare sprang up.
Bullets whistled. Anarchy raised it's
snaky locks and peered red-eyed
through the darkened streets of the
city.
Here and there fire broke out Men
on bicycles brought in the alarms;
then, as twilight thlckened, men on
foot. Chief Croker promptly estab-
lished lookouts in all the tall towers,
as watchmen used a hundred years
ago to watch the night.
And, up town, Smith cursed the
necessity of reading his evening paper
by candle-light; and Mary, the cook,
grumbled because she could not tele-
phone the grocery for some forgotten
Ingredient; and Jones dinner party
was very hilarious over the joke on
their host; and men swore and their
wives worried because they had per-
force to be very late to dinner.
At 8 O'Clock, two hours after the in
ception Of the curious phenomena, the
condition suddenly passed. The init
nation came to the various parts of
the city in different ways. Strangely
enough, only gradually did the lights
and TRANSPORTATION facilities resume
their functions. Most OF the dynamos
were being inspected by puzzled ex-
perts. Here and there the blazing OF a
group of lights. the ringing Of a bell,

test, limited to the masters OF the
lightnings that their rebellious steeds

A Scientist In Pink SILK.

The next morning promptly at s
O'Clock Jack Warford, in response to a
muttered invitation, burst excitedly
into Percy Darrow's room. He found
the scientist, draped in pale-pink silk
kimono embroidered with light blue
butterflies, scraping methodically at
his face with safety razor. At the
sight the young fellow came to an
abrupt stop, as though some had met
him with dash OF cold water In the
face.

voice. Just up?"

THE WEATHER.

My conscience never let's me enjoy a
pleasant day,
No matter what the month is-De-
cember August, May.
A mild day comes in winter-perhaps'
| say, How nice!"
Then some one cries, Poor ice men
they can't cut any ice!"
And when the time is summer, and
days are fair and bright,
If say, How delightful" they tell
me, "Tis not right.
For YOU to like dry weather when the
farmers all complain
That crops are being ruined-we need
a good, hard rain!"
And if the spring comes early and
blossoms deck the trees,
| dare not say, How lovely" when
all predict a freeze;
"WeM get our pay!" they tell me;
this out-of-season heat
Brings out too soon the fruit buds;
we'll get no fruit to eat!"
So, if all spring I'm chilly, all summer
if I'm soaked.
| try not to be selfish never gel
provoked;
I'm frozen stiff all winter, but yet
make no fuss,
Because I've learned bad weather il
really good for US.
