TROUBLE WITH BRAlNfRD DAN
FLUME AT OLD PULP MILL GOES
OUT, THREATENING A
u FLOOD

After sustaining two disastrous fires
! in the last month, Brainerd, early
Monday morning had scare thrown
finto her when the hume of the old pulp
mill at the west end of the Northwest
Paper company,s dam on the MISSISSIPPI
pi river, went out, carrying with 1t a
section of the~river bank and some ma
terial which was stored on the shore
The break in the dam released six
teen foot head of water which soon
flooded the ha,s below the town, and
the city pumping station, located Just
below. the dam, started to fill up with
water. The engineer stuck to his post,
however, while the water kept raising,
until. when at its HIGHEST point, it was
within. one inch of the fire hox in the
engine room of the station.
Repairs had been under way on the
log chute and in another week the
west bank would have been, cut open
to bring the water to the new power
plant, but the old pulp mill flume
could not stand the great pressure and
gave way.
At Fl. Ripley the. water raised two
feet as result of the breaking of the
hume. and even here at Little Falls
the rise was verv noticeable. At the
mouth of the Crow Wing river the
water forced itself up through the ice
and started backing up Crow Wing
river, and threatening to affect the
power plant on this river. At Brain
erd the city wagon bridge, directly to
the north. gave way in the middle. and
the ice piled up at the. railway bridge
near the N. p. hospital and threatened
that bridge, but it was dyuamited
early the same morning.

Every mother realizes, after giving

and 1t thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out gripping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless fruit
laxative" and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els, and you have well, playful child
again. When its little system is full
OF cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic-remem-
Der, a good inside cleaning should
always be the first treatment given.

They advanced warily. The regular
troops, under Colonel Boyd, headed
the little column the militia followed;
Spier Spencer's "YellOw Jackets" trot-
ted at the left, the Vincennes horse
men at the right; 10 Daviess' Ken
lucky dragons brought up the rear.
The boats conveying the supplies
were left at a blockhouse hastily con-
structed at point % miles north of
Fort Harrison; and at noon of Novem-
Der g they came into view Of the hun
dreds of tepees which made up the
Prophets town. Less than one thou
sand strong, they had ventured to the
Indian stronghold, where 1000 braves
were assembled; all along their march
they had been exposed TO attack; and
now, as they marched resolutely for
ward, the red warriors began to pour
out like angry bees from hive.
The column halted and parley took
place. Angrily the Indians inquired
the meaning of the army's advance
did they intend to attack? Harrison
shook his head; he wished merely to
encamp that night and to confer with
the Prophet in the morning; there
should be no hostilities. The chiefs
grunted, pacified, and the army, wheel
ing a mile to the northwest, made
camp upon a wooded plateau, along
whose abrupt decllvity on the west
there ran a little creek, called Tippe-
canoe. The regular troops pitched
their tents; the militia, shiverirg in
the raw November dusk, without tents,
were forced to build great fires, around
which they huddled upon their arms.
A rain began falling; and the night,
cheerless, bitterly cold, shrouding in
blackness whatever advance the saw
ages might make, closed in on them.

away to rush after the vanished war
party; but as often as he rose fren-
ziedly to his feet, the utter folly of
attempting Toinette's rescue alone
pulled him down and at last he forced
himself to turn his back on his last
hope and to bow his head to the duty
nearest at hand.
Through the long nights his lonely
vigils were spent in brooding over the
past. BY day he secured the woods
for food, finding q wealth of purple
clusters of the wild fox-grape, Wits

seeing the busy cloud of wild bees
swarming high overhead, he smeared
his face and hands with wet clay,

hold, and rihed tbKr rich masses of
dripping honey; sometimes finding a

In the House of the Prophet.


The red warriors who had glided
past Blackford's dellrious eyes
dragged with them a girl who called
piteously for help. ike, Ike, don't
you know meT she screamed, and
was answered only by the hooking
silences Of the woods.
Northward she struggled, driven by
her captors; and all around she saw
the Implying children Of the wood.
Down to the edge of the rivers came
the dark majesty of the forest. Be-
low struggled the green galaxy of
bush and shrub; and above, towering
beeches, clean-boled, smooth, gray,
rearing their clouds of delicate leaf
cry; sycamores, whose massive pill
lars cleaned white through the dusky
alsles; superb cottonwoOds, bearing
with proud lightness their weight of
ever-trembling leaves; colossal oaks,
like Atlas lifting up green worlds of
foliage; and, king of all, the Amerl-
can lirlodendron-the tulip tree-its
branches a stupendous dome of majes-
tic beauty, over which, in May, 1t cast
the miraculous loneliness of its waxen
blossoms.
BY day Toinette saw at times the
milder people of the woods, crouched
in the night encampments, she lis
tened with beating heart to the ter
rible scream of the cougar, the tawny
demon Of the wood, or trembled in ap-
prehension OF those other human,
more dreadful demons, her captors.
Noon Of the sixth day of November.
A fire of twigs filed the tepee with
an acrid smoke and rendered the cold
but little less damp. On the pile Of
skins upon the frozen ground were
three figures, two men and a woman.
Both men wore the leathern dress
and moccasins of the Indian, but in
spite of his dress and darkly tanned
face, II could be seen that one was
white. The woman wore what had
once been a dress such as swept the
garden walks of Versailles; but 1t
was now no more than a torn and
muddy rag, her naked shoulders
scratched and torn by branch and
brier and blue with cold. The white
man tossed buffalo robe toward the
