other optimist, an old Western farmer.

One spring the river overlooked, and
the farm was covered with water TO a
depth OF several feet His nephew
went down to call on the old gentle

preaching his uncle, he said, well,
Uncle Mort, that looks rather bad.

Furious Cloudbursts
Flood Death Valley

Although little rain falls In Death

Of life from heat which occurred there
In 1869, cloudbursts Of the utmost fury
are often experienced. The cloud Is
always formed above the mountains,
upd after time It's dubious body
strikes peak. Floods of waters are
released on the instant, and In waves
OF incredible size they roll down the
cliffs and canyons.
In an hour the face OF mountain
may be so changed as to be scarcely
recognizable Even the lighter storms
sometimes rip the heart out of II can
yon so that only gulches and heaps OF
broken rock are found where once
perhaps, good trail existed.
One night Il man named Carter slept
In camp near the mouth of Furnace
Creek canyon with bug hunter" as
the desert tramplng scientists are
called out there, II was 80 hot that
the naturalist could not sleep.
About midnight he heard roaring
noise up the canyon which, as II kept
increasing in volume, caused him to
look that way. To his surprise he
saw, as he supposed, the sky between
the canyon walls grow suddenly white.
At that moment Carter rolled over
and the bug hunter" asked him what
allied the sky. Carter give one glance
and shouted:
"OlOudburst Climb"
They scrambled up the steep wall
as best they could, Just In time 10

foaming wall OF water that whllen'a

Lowry's Stories Famous

The director Of transportation Of
one of the big hotels here Is james ]
O'ConnOr, known from coast to coasi
and In not a few places In Europe as
"Jim" O'Connor. His high-soundlne
title means head porter, which In turn
means keeping watchful eye an the
baggage Of the guests and looking
after their transportation.
Among those whose transportation
o'Connor always handled were Henry
@. Frlck, head OF Carnegie Steel;
Thomas Lowry, president of the 500
railroad line one Of the greatest story
tellers he ever met Sam Raymond, n
Chicago lawyer, who weighed $50
pounds and had the heartlest laugh
he ever heard. When he laughed at
one of Lowry's stories the glasses on
the back bar Of the Holland house
cafe Jlngled like the chimes of Trim.

Listen while the bride introduces
her man. "This," she says, lis my

1t is the tone employed by the man
who caught an eight-pound bass and
the man whose walls are adorned
with antlers spreading six feet. It
means that she has travelled long
and weary way and at last has ar
rived. 1t means that after long
travail she has captured knight,
hero, a god, male who is flawless
in all ways and can do no wrong.
But the months pass, as months

Her tone Is the one she would use

that the children had the measles,
that all her decent frocks were at

Bill doesn't mind especially. He
has learned the philosophy that comes

In another dramatic debate, the

the administration has the support
of titular Republican senate leaders.
