The Flood,

BY Phyllis Armstead, Aged II Years,
North Bend, Neb. Blue Side.
One morning Mary and James were
awakened and told by their father that
the house had turned into a Noah's Ark.
They ran to the window to see what he
meant and found the house surrounded
by water. No green grass to be seen,
only the tops of plants. floating buckets
boards and bee hives.
All day the children sat in the doorway
sailing paper boats. wading in the water
and watching the men ride past in
boats.
1t was great fun the first day, but
the children soon wished to see the green
grass and flowers again.
Very slowly at first. but going faster
and faster the water disappeared, leav-
ing nothing but sticks, muck and boards

DID YOU ever watch the raindrops
Racing down the window panes?
How they chase each other gaily
While you're cross because II rains?
Did you ever stop to wonder
Where each sparkling raindrop goes
AS II quickly flashes by you
And across the sill IL goes.
/ shall tell you II you listen
How some raindrops on the pane
Help to make the earth more lovely,
And how some go home again.

The pay has been well lined up, and the prospects that the camp will be big producer in the near future are excellent No less than fourteen holes, sunk to bed rock. have located pay in amounts to convince the most skeph- cal that the Tolovana will be all that its discoverers claimed for it.
 The Paystreak
 It is possible that the Tolovana dis trict has. a creek in Livengood creek that has @ paystreak a quarter of a mile wide, or has the creek two dis tinct paystreaks? That is a question which time alone can answer, but it looks now as if one or the other were true Here are the facts in the case. A shaft on the upper end of the first tier opposite discovery, Livengood. on the right limit of the creek. shows good pay The shaft has been sunk to bedrock. and tho ground will pay to work even under present condi- tions. Another shaft over a quarter of a mile away on their tier also shows excellent pay. The shafts are both on the property staken by Wheel CT & Wagner. The ground in the lat ter shaft will so S1.5O to the foot. From this. and the source of informa- tion cannot be questioned, it would seef that the paystreak on Livengood creek is either very wide, or that there are two distinct paystreaks on the creek.
