SYNOPSIS OF "TiIK SPOILERS
By Rex Beach, the Author.

Glerister and Dextry, co-owners OF
the "Midas," the richest mine IN
Alaska, after celebrating their good
fortune, leave Nome to spend the
winter in the ''states," but before
leaving, Gil mister arrives at an under
standing with ard bids goodbye to
Cherry Malotte, dance hall girl who
has become interested in him. Before
their return to Alaska on the follow
ing spring a plot is hatched in Wash
ington, D. c., to juggle the Alaska
land laws in such manner as 20 rob
the rich miners of their property, and
to that end corrupt judge is ap-
pointed with instructions to obey the
orders Of Alex. Mcnamara, the geni-
US of the entire conspiracy.
The Judge is dispatched to Nome
at once, but on the eve of sailing
from Seattle he is taken i'll and IS
forced to entrust certain important
documents to his niece, Helen Ches-
ter. who thus becomes the innocent
agent of the conspirators. Helen sails

out on the ship and she is threatened
with thirty days quarantine. She

Every point is watched day and night,
and material Tor emergency work is
distributed in such manner as to

time.
r. T. Lindlev, meteorologist in
charge Of Vicksburg station of the
L. S. Weather Bureau, has forecasted
the crest stage Of 50.5 feet, or SOC
feet to reach VicksburG yesterday,
and attention has been directed to
the fact that the levees are built to
stand z higher stage, there is very
li.tle danger of leaping over at any
point, or the high winds blowing the
water over the levees. In this connec-
ton, it is worth stating that engi-
neers have reported the river foot
higher on one side than on the other
attributing the greater height to the
wind which blows tie water towards
the shore, and this situaticl HIS been
rCted on numerous occasions when
wind is unusually high. This is one of
the reasons why the water fighters do
not want high winds during the high
stages.
There has been no let-up in the
work of piling sacks of earth along
she front of the ,Yazoo and Mississ-
irDi Valley railroad depot. 1t is a
very costly operation, but Superin-
tendent F. T.. Mays and engineering
derartments are determined to adopt
every conceivable precaution to keep
the tracks dry.
Less Live Stock Shipped
Ray Lum, one of the best informed
men en- matters pertaining to live
stock and pasturage, yesterday called
attention to the fact that there has
been less livestock shipped from the
lowlands to Vicksburg this year, than
J has been the case in the past high
water years.
Visitors TO the Vieksburg National
Park, who have been driving through
, the park week after week, have re
marked the same thing, as the hills
afford fine pasture and are gener-
ally covered with livestock in the high
water seasons, shipped from the low
places up and down the river.

1t is the purpose of series of ar
ticles, of which this is the first, to set
forth the case of the feeble-minded;
to show how pressing is the need for
their proper care; how important it
is for their own welfare and how
much more important it is for the well
fare of society as whole; for the
sake of ourselves and our children.
One of the first things we have to
do is to distinguish carefully between
the feeble-minded and the insane. Be-
cause the distinction between these
two dissimilar, though sometimes re-
lated classes, is frequently misunder-
stood, that will be the subject of the
next article in the series.

The public duty Of c?riag 'of the

main classes; the deocndert poor, Tie

The care Of The dependent pocr,
whether they are the aged aHd dis
eased, CT the neglected and orphaned
children, is only partly Assumed b.
the public authorities; much CT it IS
understood to belong to the domain
of private philanthropy.
But care of the insane ard Of the
gdefectives is generally seen to be the
duty OF the State:
| 1st. Because the work is so large
and urgent that only the State can
have sufficient resources to do it
properly.
End. Because its importance is as
great to all the rest cf US as it is to
| the sufferers themselves.
! The State of Louisiana has made
provision for some of the detectives,
the institutions for the blind and the
deaf are well equipped aad supported
there is room for all who are entitled
for admission. And while the insane
asyluns are over crowded and some
beople who ought to be in them are
still uncared for, yet the task is gen.
orally recognized by almost everybody
and no doubt, ample provision will
soon be made.
But there is one class of defect
| ives and the most numerous one, fol
, whom, so far, nothing has been done
by the state. 1t is that known as the
, feeble-minded. They are the least
