With Bogue Chitto backing up

promptly ran off upon the floor,
every drop like rain off devasted
mountains. Roosevelt then took
large piece of blotting paper
and holding it on the table top,
poured water as before. Most of
ths water was absorbed by the
blotting paper, a very little ran
of the table top. So it was, he
said, with rainfall on forested
