A steam boiler has its safety
. valve and a boy has his. You
: can sit on the safety valve of a
!. steam boiler if you choose, but
I. you are an awful fool if you do.
: But what else is it we have been
!. doing until quite recently but
. sitting or the safety valve of the
. boy? The boys safety valve is
. his play. Sit on that, hold it
: down hard and you will have
. trouble. Give him the gutter
. for a playground and nothing
: else and you will have crime as
!. a matter of course.-Jacob Riis.
Where is there an acre given
to childhood that it may glory
in sport and grow into physical

is for lack of fresh air gardens
in our cities for the little ones
that we have SO many small
headstones. - Samuel Browne

The universal impulse to play
is a divinely ordered thing. If
God gives the instinct, man ought
to provide the pIayground.-Jo-
siah Strong.
The control in a we'll managed

AS he sat in the darkness in his
stateroom he could hear every sound
in the adjoining one which she occu-
pied as plainly as If the thin panel
ling Of wood were not between them.
He was a fool to be caught in such
a trap. His love had been too big and
| serious a tragedy to end in Il vulgar in
trigue. He made up his mind to cut
his trip short on some pretext, and in
the meantime he would devote himself
faithfully to an attempt to start Bivens
on the road to recovery.
At 8 o'clock the next morning the
black nose of the Buccaneer slowly
felt her way into Hog Island inlet, on
the shores of old Virginia, and drop
ped her anchor in the deep waters of
the channel back of the sand spit.
AS Stuart stepped on deck a cloud
Of black ducks circled gracefully over
head and slowly spread out on their
feeding grounds. His heart gave a
throb Of primitive joy. He was a boy
again and the world was young.
"Confound them!' he cried. "I1l
| show these ducks a trick or two be-
fore this trip is over"
He was glad he anne Bivens had
put him in command of the little
schooner, and he gave orders at once
to lower a tender and tow her to an
old anchorage he knew in a little cove
behind Gull marsh. And then his
trouble began with Bivens.
"Let 'em fly if they want to; I'm not
going to bulge. Go yourself, JIM"

I gave up my work and came down
here a month for? 1 came to try to
teach you how to live, you fool, and
Pm not going without you. Get into
your toys! The guides are here and
ready. The tide waits for no man.
not even a millionaire: it's ebbing
now"
"Well let it ebb. don't want to
stop it," the sick man snarled.
Nan came in, pressed Stuart's hand
as she passed, nodded good morning
and joined her voice to Stuart's.
Come; you must so. Cal. It's a
glorious day"
The doctor slipped in a word too.
"By all means, MI. Bivens. get your
hand in the first day"
Bivens lifted himself to a half sit
ting posture, glared at his physician
and yelled with fury:
"Get out-all Of you-and let me
alone!'
The doctor and Nan left on tip toe,
but Stuart folded his arms and looked
at Bivens.
"Oh, come now, this is too ridicu,
lous, a quarrel the first day of our
shooting. But you'll have to get one
thing fixed in your head once for all:
you don't u the entire world. The
telephone, telegraph and mail service
have been suspended. The B%uccaneer
has put to sea for New York. You're
on a little eighty-foot schooner,
anchored in a bay ten miles wide and
q hundred miles long and I'm in COM
mand. l won't stand any nonsense
from you. Come down off your
perch, quick"
Bivens started to swear, caught the
expression Of Stuart's face and sud
denly extended his hand.
I'm sorry. jim: you must not mind
my foolishness. 1t was awfully nice Of
you to ONE III stay in today, but
you go and get some ducks for din
ner, like Il good boy. and say-take
Nan along and teach her to shoot.
It's getting to be the rage among the
high flyers for the women to shoot"
please do, JIM" Nan cried from
the door. She had listened outside to
the duel In the stateroom.

Omaha Storm Toll 21h..
Cold Adds to Suffering
Blizzard Following Tornado Causes In
tense Discomfort Among 1000 Homeless

Omaha, Neb., March 26.-A binding
blizzard swept Omaha Monday night
and yesterday and last night half a
foot of snow added to the discomfort
OF the 1000 people who were left
homeless by Sundays cyclone The
temperature was below freezing and
the suffering OF the homeless ones was
intense.
While all public buildings churches.
schools, and thousands of private resi-
dences were thrown open, many hun
dreds of those whose houses were
wrecked preferred to remain in base
ments and cellars rather than leave
tne remains of their homes
Loss of Life Is 214.
Two hundred and fourteen lives were
lost, according to latest estimates
based upon the number of bodies found
recovered and the number reported
missing by relatives. It is believed
that many bodies still are beneath the
ruins and rescuers, urged on by anx-
ious relatives, are working franticalIy
all day to reach them.

whiting, Ind, March 26.-It has Just
been learned that a two-story house
at Berry Lake. a little station between
here and Indiana Harbor was over
turned by the wind of two days ago
and that three facilies and a number
of boarders who occupied the place
were shaken about like dice in box
The house was picked up and
thrown upside down against neigh
boring structure. AS a result the other
house was badly wrecked. The build
ing is owned by the Lake Shore rail-
road. which has purchased all of the
property in that vicinity, and was pur-.
chased from Henry Ehlers, one Of the
old residents of the county. The build
ing has for years been looked upon as
an old Landmark.
Steve Gransic foreman for the
Lake Shore railroad, was one of the
occupants of the house. His little baby
was badly injured. 1T is reported that
five others received bruises

BELIEVE CANAL
SAVED TERRITORY

Engineers in East Chicago and Indi-
ana Harbor declare that the canal has
saved the territory. hereabouts from
being seriously flooded. The canal this
morning showed a remarkably swift
current toward the lake, whittier it
was carrying the contents of the over
charged basin of the Grand Calumet
river. The fact that the territory ad-
jacent to the Little Calumet is all un-
der water bears out the theory that
the canal with which the Grand Calu-
met communicates is doing good serv-
ice as an outlet for the water that finds
it's way into the latter stream. and
which without the canal would spread
over the district through which the
stream runs.

THE LITTLE
CALUMET RIVER

Black Oak, Ind. March 26.-Mrs F.
~ Scheidt says that the river has risen
five inches during the night. 1t is still
rising. Usually the river rises for nine
days after it starts in the spring, due
to the fact that 1t takes that long for
the Bezor Deep river and other tribu-
taries to empty into the river after
they receive the water.
1t has been rising for two days and
is not more than foot over the road
1t will have to rise six inches more
before traffic over the road will be
stopped In 1908 the river was four
feet higher than 1T is now, so that the
flood situation is not causing much To-
cal concern.
