ipoudence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
GENEVA, March 1a, 1914.
A doctor living at the village Of
Montricher, canton of Vaud, has just
undergone a terrible ordeal with great
honor to his profession. He received a
telephone message that young girl OF
Lausanne had broken a limb and was
seriously injured while tobogganing on
Mont Tendre, and set out at once to
render aid.
While on the way he was overtaken
by a special messenger. who informed
him that his own son had met with
dangerous accident and was dying.
What was the doctor to do? He did not
hesitate, however. but continued the
Journey up the mountain. After set
ting the girls limb and attending to
her transport to Lausanne the doctor in
great fear returned home--to find his
SON very seriously but not mortally
injured, the first accounts having been
exaggerated. Both patients will recover.

Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
JOHANN ESBURG, February 20, 1914.
startling statement has been made by
the president Of the Mine Managers As
ISOLATION. The real cause of the indus
trial unrest in South Africa, he said. was
the advancing skill of the natives. many
of whom are now able to do the white
mems work.
I'VE must give equal opportunity to the
whites and blacks" said the president. "a
thing which has long been denied them in
the gold mining industry. If the whites
refuse to do manual work, then they
must accept reasonable wages as skilled
overseers, or drop altogether"

Wake up. wake up. you drowsy heads:
Wake up, wake up, and leave your beds!
The giaddest time Of all the year
Has come, for Mistress Spring Is here!
the Old Orchard Little Friend the Song
Sparrow was singing it down along the
edge Of the Laughing Brook. Winsome
Bluebird was wlistling it from the top
Of the Big Hickory over by the Smiling
Pool. Blacky the Grow was cawlng It
from a fence post on the edge of Farmer
Browns cornfeld. Danny Meadow Mouse
was shouting it in a funny little squeaky
voice down on the 1reen Meadows. Even
Sammy Jay was screaming 1t through the
Green Forest. And over In the dear Old
Briar Patch Peter Rabbit was saying 1t
over and over to himself as he thumped
and thumped for pure JOY.
1t was true. Sweet. beautiful Mistress
Spring had arrived. Cheerful ROBIN and
Little Friend had come with her, and
SO had Honker the Wild Goose. 1t was
his voice coming down from high, high up
in the blue, blue sky that had told the
glad news; He hasn't a sweet voice: Oh.
but sweet And yet it Is good, wonder
fully good to hear after the long, cold
days of winter, for every one knows
when he hears 1t that Mistress Spring
has arrived. You see long: long ago
Mistress Spring went to Old Mother Ma
ture, and asked her for a trumpeter, some
ore whose voice was strong, to travel
up from the far-away south with her and
tell all the world Of her coming. and
Honker the Goose was chosen because
his wings are strong and he flies high,
and because his voice Is strong. and the
sound Of 1t carries far. And from that
day to this when the voice OF Honker
the Goose is heard every one knows that
Mistress Spring has arrived.
Now, Mistress Spring wastes no time,
for she has a great deal to do. and
the very first thing is to waken all the
sleepers whom gentle Sister South Wind
has not already awakened. Peter Rab-
bit never could understand how she does
1t because there are so many sleepers-
little people who wear fur. little peo-
pie who wear neither fur nor feathers.
but whom we call bugs. and all the little
and big plants. There are SO many, many Of
them, who sleep all winter long. that it
has always seemed to Peter as if Mis-
tress Spring must miss some Of them.
But she never does
So now that Mistress Spring really
had arrived Peter was too happy to sit
still. He just had to hurry around and
greet his friends as fast as they walked.
Bobby Coon and INC Billy Possum had
crawled out of their hollow trees Just
after Winsome Bluebird had arrived. Now
Peter felt sure his old friend Johnny
Chuck would be crawling out, and he
hurried up to the corner of the Old
Orchard where Johnny's house is. Sure

enough, there sat Johnny on his door,
step taking sun bath. He looked very
thin, not at all as he had looked when
Peter last saw him. He grinned at
Peter and stretched to get the kinks
out OF his legs. and the first thing he
asked was If Peter knew where there
was any tender young clover. But Peter
didn't, because, you know. the clover
had only just begun to wake up, and
hadn't had time to grow. But he knew
where there was some last years clover
that had kept green under the snow. and
Johnny said that that would do. because
he was SO hungry that he could eat al
most anything.
While they were talking, a merry little
voice shouted from the stone wall. There
sat Striped Chipmunk, and he looked as
pert and smart and saucy as ever. He
wasn't thin like Johnny Chuck You see
he had filed his storehouse, which opens
right out of his bedroom, with plenty
of good things in the fall, and he had
walked up in the winter often enough to
eat what he needed and now had plenty
left over.
"Are you glad Mistress Spring has
Gomez" asked Peter.
Striped Chipmunk whisked round and
round after his tail until they all laughed
to see him. so glad that I can't keep
still!' he cried.

the Mississippi river embraces thirty
ore states. constituting Al per cent OF
tho entire area of the United States.
In spring time. when the floods are
released. the waters of all this area
are hurled through the 500 miles of
delta land. sweeping in torrents down
the river channel swelling over its
banks and deluging the fertile valley.
Ruined fields. orchards and pastures,
downed live stock, injured homes, dam
aged cities and homeless people are the
result. The waters which destroy the
prosperity and check the growth OF
the delta come from without.
The magnitude Of the wealth de-
stroyed by each succeeding flood is
can well support and maintain its
peoples welfare. Not considering the
loss of agricultural produce. the
floods of 1919 and 1913 anni',ilated
into consideration the value of agri-
cultural produce destroyed and the
extent OF the damage done to the next
several years production, this loss
would mount some tens of millions
more. Corn. hardwood lumber. stock.
cotton. alfalfa lands. sugar cane plan
tation, rice crops. oranges and other
fruits. expensive factory machinery,
railway. telegraph and telephone prop
erty great stretches of existing
levees are all destroyed by the floods.
AS further argument against the
short-sightedness which holds bacA
from government investment in suf-
hciently we'll executed engineering
works for the protection of the 90
100000 acres of rich agricultural land
in the delta. attention is called to the
fact that about 100000 acres of this
land lies undeveloped and waste which,
under guarantee Of security, might be
utilized for the feeding of the nation
and the increase of its wealth.
