WITH THE EDITORS
THE PALE HORSE.

a lot Of water passed under the
bridges of the Colorado and Brazos
Rivers this week. A lot more ignOr-
ed the bridges altogether. going ac-
cross lots over the bottom lands,
wrecking houses and drowning cat
tie. horses and hogs. 1t will be some
time before the full extent OF the
damage can he known. Enough is
known TO justify the assertion that
it was one of the worst floods in the
history of the state.-Brownsville
Herald.
This is the story in a nutshell-Or
rather in a paragraph. Also Death on
the White Horse escorted the waters
down the valleys. and sent them s"urry-
ing OH many a little excursion into ont
81 -the-way places where sleeping beauty
had never dreamed that they would
come in the darkness of the night he
piled them up in overwhelming force
against people who had been warned
of their coming but needed not; he held
the victims bcsiCged for long hours III
desolatc and lonesome places where
their calls fer help would echo among
the hills and bring no answer, where at
last in the gloomy solitude they made
their last desperate stand against the
grim monster and lost: Death has
rounded them up and gathered them in
little children in their night gowns,
women in their helplessness, and boot
ed men in the full prime of their mad
strength. all. each and all have Crap
pied with Death and lost. The fiends
have held high carnival and have strcwn
the path of their going with the wreck
age and ruin they have wrought. Man
has seen the irresistible power of the
elements again demonstrated and bows
his head i'm reverence and submission.
There is no answer no retaliation. no
revenge. no way that we may express
diaapproval-nothing to do but forget.
Let rs smooth the SORROWS Of the pre-
cnt, look to the future and forget

Pax Of French Presidents.

Marshal MacMahon paid more dear
~ than any other French president for
the privilege of holding Office, accord
ing to a story in the London Chron'
icle. He found it impossible to live
with what he considered becoming
pomp on his salary of E24,0O0 a year
and after running through nearly all
his private means became heavily in
volved. In his last year OF Office Gam
beta persuaded the chamber to vote a
lump sum for the payment of Mac
Mahon's debts. 1t was then decided
to raise the salary and allowances OF
the president to G48,OOO a year, half Of
which is scheduled as "frais de repre-
Bentation."

ing Alberta one of the very best trad

Likewise are the stores of Alberta

Alberta has one of the finest schools

room, two cream stations, three top
notch elevators, one up to date butcher
shop, one first class barber shop, one
saloon. feed mill, and lumberyard,

furnish anything in building material.
Still there are some necessary things
lacking at Alberta, and before another
year, or so, the town will have these
also. To get these in the shortest
possible time is one of the chief OBJ
jects of the Commercial club. Alberta
shall be one of the very best towns in
Stevens Co.. good enough FOR the best
people to live in and the best bust
ness farmers to trade in and get full
value received for each dollar.

partment accepted the $4,000 appro-
priated by the State of Pennsylvania

ed its just percentage Of the Increase.
1t is thought that this will provide
for fully 100 veterans in addition to
the 4o5 already registered, and

The Florida veterans VIII reach here

In order that the encampment may
have no SAVIOR of old animosities 1t has
been announced that no battle haSs
VIII be allowed there, and the Stars
and stripes will be the only banner per-
mitted.
Major Normoyle. in charge of the

ing the huge camp, said TO-DAY that
