FOR PERMANENT LEVEES.
Mississippi Delegation Ask for Pro.
lection Against Floods.

Washington, December 3.-Dele-
cations from the Mississippi Valley
States to-day urged before the rivers
and harbors committee of Congress
an appropriation to build permanent
levees along the Mississippi River as
protection against floods. The
spokesman in the main favored the
Ransdell-Humphryes bill, now pend
ing, which would provide for levees
to cost sSO,OOO.O0O, of which the
States would have to raise s2O,OOO,-
600. One of the principal propon-
ents of this plan was former Repre-
sentatives Catchings, of Mississippi.
NJ. A. Oliver, of Missouri; Presi-
dent Bush, of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad; Col. c. Med. Townsend,
president of the Mississippi River
commission, and others pleaded for
early Improvement of the levees.

The White House.

The President is given house to
live in, very comfortable, homellke
house. In all the world, venture to
say, there is no more appropriate Off
cial residence for a chief Executive,
nor one better adopted to the simple
democratic tastes of the American
people than the White House at
Washington. 1t is dignifled, it is
beautiful, it is comfortable, it offers
an opportunity for proper entertain
ment of the Presidents guests, but
as compared with the many palaces of
Europe it is much less extensive and
much less ornate, and yet it is quite
enough to surround him with that
freedom from intrusion that the Chief
Executive ought to have.

LIFE TOO CHEAP AT 81.
Father Who Receives That Amount

Believing that a human life Is
worth more than a dollar, Abraham
Lincoln Graham, owner of printing

Mr.. Graham was the father of a
child who was killed by trolley car

pany because he believed it had been
negligent, and the jury gave ver-
dict for 81. in effect holding that a
child's life is worth only 81. This
came to be known as the dollar a
life case.
Mr.. Graham and those associated
with him in the new society believe
that they can increase the valuation
of human life in the courts but main
ly their object is to prevent accidents
rather than to obtain redress after
accidents have happened. They intend
to teach children to cross stl eets with
ceution, not to play with matches.

DENY ARMORY WAS FILTHY.
Capt. w. H. Mcintyre Has an Explain.
alton of the Federal Report.

Bennettsville, December 6.-Cap-
tain Mcintyre, of the Bennettsville
Military company, recently ordered
out of the service of the United
States war department, takes excep-
tion to the delegation that the State
armory at this place was found in =
dirty or filthy condition.
He declares: Il beg ~ say in order
to disabuse the minds Of the public,
that the armory at large, was not de-
plorably dirty, as stated. The report
was made from the condition that
the Crosland hall (Which the COM
pany uses occasionally for drill pur-
poses) was found by the inspecting
officer, on which his report was
based. The night or two before, the
chamber of commerce had banqueted
in the hall. This accounted for the
condition of it. Now, invite the
citizens of this city and surrounding
community, if they desire to retain
the military organization in their ban
ner county, to come together and re-
lieve the congested state of affairs.
Let us hold up the patriotic spirit Of
our forefathers. w. H. MCINTYRE.
In answer to Senator McLaurin' S
letter, Mr.. Mcintyre will call the Off
GERS of the now defunct company to-
gether to discuss plans.

SAW A GOAT SMOKE.
Central Park Visitor Feared He Had

Bob Hurton, assistant keeper OF

when a young man staggered across

support

ed.

visitor said.
The young man explained then
that, unless he had been the victim
of an illusion, Hurton was needed
behind the animal house.
Have the elephants broken
loose?" Hurton asked.
NO. the visitor said. But l
think I saw goat smoking cigar. "
On the way to the back of the
elephant house Hurton met Bill Sny-
der, the head keeper.
whats this l hear about a smok-
ing goat?" Hurton asked his chief.
Snyder was perplexed by the ques-
ton, but, with Hurton, he followed
the visitor who had discovered the
geological phenomenon.
In the lot was Perfecto, a large
ram, presented to the menageries
several days ago by the manager of a
circus. Perfecto was standing in the
centre of the inclosure. There was a
far-away look upon his face and he
was holding in his mouth half of a
cigar. In telling the story later,
Snyder said that the cigar was burn
ing and that Perfecto was putting
away at it, in evident enjoyment
Snyder took one look at the goat and
then he felt in the pocket of his vest
where he usually carries his cigars.
The pocket was empty.
You thief" he cried, shaking a
fist at the goat.
He remembered petting Perfecto
just a few minutes before and he
was of the opinion that the goat had
stolen his cigar. The animal, he ex-
planned, had been named Perfecto be-
cause of his fondness for tobacco.
He had been taught to smoke by the
employees of the circus.
But, Bill, how did he get light?"
That's nothing said Snyder.

FLOOD DEALS DISASTER.
Beath List Will Probably go Into
Hundreds-Many Homeless.

Sundays dispatches increased the
number of known dead in the Texas
Heeas to sixty-one, with the possioIl-
ity that a heavy toll of drownings re-
ported, but not yet confirmed, at Sun
nyside, in Waller county, Texas'
would increase this number.
The crest of the Brazos River Hooo
Sunday night was nearing Brazory
county, which borders on the Gui1'
and the peak of the Colorado River
flood was approaching Matagorda
county. also on the Gulf. AS the
water passed southwark the damage
incident to the overflow grew corre-
spondingly.
Reports Saturday night from Wei
born that twelve negroes and a Mexl-
can had been drowned on the Alien
plantation, at the junction OF the
Nayasota and Brazos rivers, and that
TWENTY-FIVE negroes had met death IN
the food waters on the Parker plan
tation in the same vicinity, have not
vet been confirmed.
Fifty persons, mostly negroes, are
reported to have been drowned at
sunnyside, small town on the lower
Brazos, Sunday night. 1t is said be-
tween 400 and 500 persons are ma
rooned on a small mound at San fe-
lipe and are in great danger. A spe-
ciaI train loaded with motorboats
was dispatched from Houston to res
cue them.
J. R. Garrett, planter, who tele-
phoned to Houston for assistance,
reported that the entire Brazos bot
tom in Waller county, is flooded; that
a number of houses had f1oated away,
and that refugees were clinging to
trees and housetops. Boats are being
constructed as rapidly as possible to
rescue those imperiled. Sunnyslde IS
eight miles north of Brookshlre. Mr..
Garrett said that warning was given
the residents of the lowlands of the
approaching food Saturday, but that
many of them refused to leave their
homes.
The task of rescue along the forty
miles of flooded Brazos Valley was
succeeded by the problem of provid-
ing for 1000 or more refugees. Re-
ports from the flooded territory
brought by motorboats showed that
between 700 and 1000 persons are
marooned in gin houses and large
plantation residences, safe from the
food, but in urgent need of food and
clothing.
Sunday night at Horse Shoe Bend,
above the roaring of the river, could
be heard the singing and praying of
fifty negroes facing death in a rock
ing gin house on an island mile and
a half out. The food stretches almost
to the horizon, six miles or more, dot
ted here and there by roof or. the
steeple of a submerged church. The
forty-mile levee is the refuge of do
mestic animals at points where it did
not all cave in.

RARE RELICS SECURED

New York, March S.--Two bal tered and storm-worn sails, one of them from the nOrthernmOSt part of the world, and the other one from the southern extremity of all mundane creation, now rest in the American Museum of Nat ural History in Central Park. New York.
 When Explorer Peary went to the north pole he carried with him a small sail which he used partly as tent-tlap and partly as a sail in helping his sled ov- CT the ice of the frozen regions. He carried il to the north pole and brought it back again. It was the first and only one there. When Explorer Amundscn took his fla nous journey to the south pole he carried similar sail, the first and only one to ever reach the southern limits. Now those sails are lying side by side in the museum. where they will rest and recall feats of bravery and hard ships tu mankind through the coming ages.

The notion is popularly held that whalebone is derived from whales ribs, although many persons believe that it comes from the tail of the big mammal. Both notions are incorrect.
 The function of "halebone in The life of the whale is of the ut most importance. The inner edges of the whalebone plates are fray ed into ihnumerable hair-like processes and the whole forms a sort of sieve whereby the whale may sift out its food from the sea water. IL must be remem- bered that the food of this gigan- tie creature consists chiefly of minute organisms, crustacea, nOllusca. etc., floating near the surface.
 When the whale opens it's mnuuth and moves along a great multitude of these minute forms of life find their way in. Then the whale closes it's mouth, and the water is strained out through he whalebone sieve, and the food is retained.
