of q rarid rise in the Mississippi Riv-
err, due to the breaking Of gorges in
that waterway and tributaries today,
caused four steamboats, to sink, tore
others from their mcorings and dam
aged number of small craft.
There was no loss Of life.
The excursion steamer De Soto,
valued at $4,000, the Government
towboat Graham, valued at $27,500;
the Government grader boat, valued
at $4,000, and a Government quar-
terboat were the steamers sunk.
The latter went down at Seyppel's
Landing, Arkansas.
The excursion boat Majestic and
the packets Georgia Lee and Fred
Herold were among the steamers torn
from their docks by the ice.
Tonight they were reported to have
successfully fought their way through
the ice to a safe anchorage after be-
ing buffffeted about the grealer part
of the day.
Three coal barges of the West Ken
lucky Coal Company where torn from
the fleet at West Memphis and driven
down the river.
The largest gorges that brought
about heavy ice foes were located at
Hickman, KY, Bessie, Ienn., and
Richardson Landing, Tenn.
The situation below Cairo, accord
ing to old river men, is the most SER
ious in the history of winter river
traffic. They declare that they have
no recollection of such quantity of
ice running.
In the Memphis harbor and nearby
landing shipping valued in excess of
100000 is treatened. Barge fleets of
the Pittsburg Coal Company and the
West Kentucky Coal Company are in
precarious condition.

"BETTER BLIND THAN DEAF"
Scientific Writer Points Out Why the Former Affliction Is Less Hard
 to Bear.

Scientists have shown that sound not only informs the intellect, as does sight, but that, much in excess of that sense. it excites feelings-that is, sound pure and simple has a specific relation to feelings widely different from that of sight.
 Its primary effect was the creating of moods, Margaret Baldwin writes in the Atlantic magazine. This being so, the simple fact is that sound has far more to do fundamentally with origin ating our emotions, or how we feel from day to day, than has what we see.
 It should be said in passing, that there is very little recognition of this fact by the person with normal hear ing. Sight and sound are so inter- woven for him that he does not dis criminate as to what belongs intrins1- cally to each in the province of feel ings. It is only when the two are clearly separated, as in deafness or blindness, that experience takes note of what belongs to the one and the other.
 A scientific writer points our that we can see with indifference the writh- ings of a suffering animal that is still, but that, if there are cries. of pain, It produces emotions at once. We are distressed. In reports of terrible ma rine disasters, it is almost never said by people that they can never forget the sights they saw, but always that they can never forget the cries of the drowning.
 Although one would hardly hesitate to say that the excess of the blind mans calamity over that of the deaf man is sufficient to overbalance this elemental function of sound to pro duce moods, yet the universal fact re- mains that the blind are more cheerful than the deaf.

Clever Fox Sparrow.

The fox sparrow brides himself, doubtless, because he is bigger than most of his American brothers. He is only a bit of a bird, at that, but song sparrow, white-throat, grass finch and a dozen or so of the others doubtless look on their fox-coated relatives ad- ditional inch as an ell, with something thrown in for good measure. The iunco, the little slate-colored snowbird, a sparrow after his kind also, ire quently accompanies the fox sparrow on his travels. There is suspicion which is hard to lose that the fox spar row jaunts along with the Junco solely to make his own song secure among the acknowledged melodies, for the junco, while an insistent performer, pipes an attenuated tune.

large embroidered motif in two colors, one of them matching that in the froek. The neck is finished with a repe- tition of this motif in smaller size.
 A double tunic distinguishes the novel frock at the left of the pie ture. It has a narrow underskirt of crepe with a long tunic of crepe fin ished at the bottom with a wide band of striped satin. The full sleeves are of crepe with bands of the striped silk at the wrists. The easily draped bod ice is cut with a square neek-opening at the front and is made entirely of silk, joined to a pointed tunic of silk that Is shorter at the back than at the sides and front. It does not extend across the front of the frock and it's shape and length are style features of the season that characterize coats In coat suits as well as tunics. Frocks of this kind usually fasten under the arm and on the shoulder. A lace-trimmed organdie collar and cuff set is so good finish for this frock that it may be considered a necessity.

Whlle these wearers or ne pretty afternoon frocks compare observations on rose culture, we have opportunity to take note on two approved models of dresses made in the new styles. The designer of the gown at the right chose a wool fabric and found the allowance of four and a half yards which pa triotism will concede to one dress, all that he needed. The other frock is of striped satin and plain georgette crepe which need not be conserved, but 1t uses only just enough material to carry out a design that makes mod est demands in fabrics.
 The wool frock is a one-piece model with narrow, plain skirt joined to a plain bodice, by wide, straight belt of the material. The sleeves are close fitting, making place for q row of small cloth-covered buttons, set close together which appear to have become the hallmark of class on blouses and gowns. A panel of cloth at each side Is turned up and ornamented with

NOTHING BUT SHEER WISDOM
Possibly Aunty's Idea in Burning Chicken Feathers Was to Destroy
 Crcumstantial Evidence.

The dainty and winsome heiress of a Kentucky planter, recently graduated from a fashionable northern seminary, was devoting the morning of the first day of her return to the old homestead renewing acquaintance with her fa- thers darky retainers down among the quarters" As she entered one of the cabins she saw old Aunt Martha, born in slavery during the life of the young lady's grandfather, bending over a broad log fire, carefully burning, piece by piece, a bunch of chicken feathers.
 Aunt Martha" inquired the young lady, after watching the wosk of the ex-slave a few moments in silence, why do you burn those feathers so carefully and systematically? Is it be- cause of some religious idea or a SUI perstition?'
 "No Misstus Lucy" came the an- swer from the deliberate old woman, as she watched the last telltale feath- CT crumple into nothing. Faint no ligion an 'tain't muffin tuh do wid no sewpustishums. It's wisdum. Jes plain, out-an'-out, wiSdum."

Shopping a Serious Matter.

There is one consolation for soar ing prices, for 1t Is an undisputed fact that the more you have to pay for an article, even when this increased price is no more than fair, the more consid- crate and helpful sales people are in serving you. Since shoe prices have been high it is surprising how seldom we are urged to take shoes that we do not care for. And when we must pay $3 yard for woolen goods that not long ago we could have bought for scarcely more than half that price, no one urges us to decide in hurry. Shopping now becomes a serious mat ter, as well with the sales people as with the shopper.

LITTLEROCK BRAKEMAN
 ISRESTORED BY REMEDY
J. 0. TimmonS Took Treatment Year Ago-SayS It Is
 Wonderful.


 Mir. J. O. Timmons of Little Rock. Arkansas, a well known brakeman on the Iron Mountain Railway, suffered from stomach ailments and malarial troubles for years. He followed the advice of several expert physicians and took a great deal of medicine. About a year ago he was told of Orga- tone and took the preparation-and had his troubles relieved at once. Mir. Timmons took but a few doses. He says:
 q suffered with stomach trouble and constipation for years. I tried many doctors but received no help un- til, while in Little Rock, I had many friends tell me of the wonderful work of Orgatone and concluded to try the remedy. Since then I have felt like a new man."

California Has Jap Village.

Few people realize that in the United States there is a village composed en- tirely of Japanese, who live their lives just as they did before leaving the Flowery kingdom. This quaint spot of interest is north of the long pier, mile from Santa Monica, Cal. Here is the home of a number of Japanese fishermen. Their native dress, food and the daily routine of their lives are carried out as though the little vil- lage were on the far shore of Nippon. On Sundays are to be seen the native sports of the Japanese. The geisha girls serve tea and bonbons to visitors, while the young men display their prowess at wrestling, jiu-jitsu and other Oriental pastimes.-Los Angeles Times.

Just as the hats of their mothers and big sisters are blossoming out into regular bouquets of flowers, and shapes are fairly covered with trim mings, hats for little girls seem dis posed to the simplest sort of decora- tion. This is especially true of the pressed shapes in fine Italian milan that are so well suited to childhood and other blocked hats, but there are many little fabric-coyered shapes as well that are all but untrimmed.
 Two hats that belong in this class of meagerly trimmed but pretty hats for the little miss of five or more years, are shoNn above. One of them, the hat at the left, is of Italian milan in natural yellow-white of the straw. Its brim is much like q poke bonnet, and it's crown has an indented ridge just below the top which adds much to its good style. A sash of dark blue velvet ribbon Is tied in a soft knot, it's two short ends hanging off the brim at the right side, near the back of the hat. Each end of velvet is finished with a cord and ball of silk. This is a lovely hat for a little miss with flaxen curls, and is becoming to dark haired children as well.
 The fabric-and-braid hat at the right has a dropping brim of "carpet" braid "a new braid finer and smoother than the caterpillar braid that it resembles. The crown Is crepe georgette in a heavy quality and crepe Is used for facing the brim. Baby velvet ribbon makes the sash with loops and ends at the back that serves for trimming this little model, and three tiny tight

Chief Executives and the Press.

When John Adams became president, in 1797, he was even more severely at tackled in the press than Washington had been. But his administration fought the attacks. Armed by the sedition law, which was passed the following year, it sought to annihilate the papers which it could not force to surrender. In the fight, which lasted four years, the people rallied to the support of the papers and defeated Adams in the election of 1900 by put ting Thomas Jefferson in the presiden- tial chair.
