OURIER ÖEN ED. DOANE, Publisher. JASPER INDIANA era Flying continuously from London to Paris is worth a fewL brills. Saccharine has been forbidden in food, but H iu?y he used in kisses. An eastern woman wants a law compelling married men to wear labels, but why rub it in? A Chicago postofüce clerk haß resigned at the age of elghtj'-four, after 62 years of service. .A British duchess eloped with her masseur. That is what might be termed winning a rubber. The idea that men should walk on all fours will not appeal to the tat fellows who wear fancy vests. The Chinese are willing to make almost any change except one they will not tuck their shirts inside. A glance at a baseball schedule causes one o forget, for a few minutes at least, e vinter coal bills. A scientist tells us that blackbirds carry microbes. The first robin always carries the microbe of spring. Nothing is sacred to the barbarians of Missouri. One of their courts has decided that a barber is not an artist. In New York the demand for horses Is greater than the supply. That "is calling the motor's bluff with a vengeance. A Boston prophet announces that tho coming summer will be the hottest ever. It ought to be; look at the Ice it's got to melt. A Massachusetts man named June, -who was born in June, is about to marry a girl named June in June. And what so rare, etc.? Those professors who want the col lege yell abolished probably figure that the average college youth's cloth lng makes noise enough. An eminent medical authority de clares that women don't know how to cook. Perhaps that's the reason so many of them don't try. A Suffragette umpired a game of baseball in California the other day. Thus the last sacred precinct of man's work has been Invaded. One real test of the new republic of China -will come when it decides whether its Fourth of July shall be iafe and sane or firecrackery. A Kansas farmer killed two bulldogs with his bare hands, says an exchange. This probably would be a record, even if he had worn gloves. There is a difference between a book borrower and one who borrows a toothbrush. The latter occasionally assumes you have further use for the article. A woman in St. Louis claims that her husband allowed her only 25 cents a week. After visiting five moving picture shows, the poor woman was penniless.

II LIS MENACED

30 PASSENGERS SAVED FROM BURNING SHIP FAST ON A SANDBAR. CREW. OF 41 FIGHT FIRE Blaze Is Extinguished After a Hard Fight Life Savers of Great Service S. O. S. Signals Make the Rescue Possible. Ditch Plain Life Saving Station, I. I. The rescue of a ship in peril at sea was again due to the wireless, when the 30 passengers of the coast-wise steamer Ontario, plying between Baltimore and Boston, were taken off the craft after a fire had broken out in the hold. The ship ran aground off Montauk Point and the passengers taken to New London by the tug Tosco, summoned by wireless. The crew, 41 men, stayed with the captain on the boat, and after a hard fight succeeded in extinguishing the blaze. The vessel is hard aground with a light sea running and only a little wind, and there is slight danger, apparently, of her going to pieces, Life savers hovered near the vessel in their boats, ready to take off the crew, but Captain Bond, when the fire was under control, said there would be no need for their services. I'he fire broke out during the night and became so threatening that Captain Bond ordered the wireless operator to send S. O. S. distress signals. An hour later he turned back upon hi3 course and drove the vessel full speed ahead for the reefs oil Montauk Point. The wireless sputtered along the entire north Atlantic coast with news of the vessel's danger. Ten minutes later the men at this station saw the ship on the rocks, hurried off with a breeches buoy apparatus and later dragged their surf boat on its truck three miles over the beach to the burning steamer. The life savers, reinforced by a crew from the Hether Plain station, two miles away, transferred the passengers in small boats to a tug and stpod off in readiness to take the crew ashore if need be. The passengers were transferred in the Ontario's lifeboats. The revenue cutters Mohawk and Seneca picked up the wireless call at New York and the cutter Acushnet at Boston hurried to the scene. They were able to give little assistance, however. The Ontario fs a vessel of 1,9S7 tons net. She is 290 feet long, of steel, and was built in 1904. She left Baltimore Saturday.

The steamer Kate Adams was near Modoc when the levee broke and res cued those imperiled. A hundred or more panic-stricken negroes were ta ken from a government barge. Later . i - motor launches rescued a number of farm hands from the roofs of cabins, from trees and peaks of knolls which were above the water. The refugees saved none of their be longings.

Thirty persons have been drowned, 30,000 .persons are- homeless, 2,000 square miles of country are inundated and there has been a financial loss of $10,000,000 as a result of the two weeks' flood in the Mississippi valley. The flood crest, rapidly going south, is leaving behind it.a wake of desolation which will cost planters millions oj! dollars and leave thousands homeless. For fifty miles below ?lemphis the last owners and renters are still desperately working to hold back the rushing river, but with scant success. From six to ten feet of Water floods the fertilG St. ' Francis basin, the source of one-tenth of the entire cot ton crop of the world. It will be days before this water will have run off, and days before the river will have lowered to a sufficient depth to allow the planters to rebuild their levees. Interruption of the mail service is the latest problem which confronts both the residents of the valley and the government officials. From the Ohio river to the Rocky Mountains, as showing the greatest scope of tills record flood, the mail service is being carried on through emergency chan nels, and in many districts no mall has been received since Tuesday last J. M. Mastin, superintendent at Omaha, reports the same conditions with ice gorges in the northwest tribu taries, the Loup, Platte and Elkhorn rivers. Short end trainsand substitute mall trains are making short connections throughout the valley. In some places pouches of mail are being carried across open places in the trackage by cable from one short end train to another. Postmaster General Hitchcock has issued instructions to every railway mail superintendent in the valley to use every effort to keep the mails moving and avoid so far as possible congestion at any junction or big handling point, so that they can be moved quickly when regular traffic is resumed. Cairo, 111. The Cairo levees were given a severe lest, witn me river standing at 54 feet, the highest stage reached, a severe windstorm set in and dashed the waters with great force against the levee embankments. Heavy rolls were driven with a mighty roar against the stone wall, striking with great force as to throw the water high in the air. All levees stood the severe strain and when inspected later were found to be substantial and intact. Vandals have been looting houses In the flooded . drainage district and Sheriff Fraser has put on a force of deputies with motor boats and skiffs to patrol the territory with Instructions to shoot when necessary. A number of boats have arrived from the flooded district in Missouri loaded down with refugees and stock which were landed at the hills near Wickliffe, Ky. The boats report much stock still in the district herded on Mount Mounds, which are gradually being submerged and also many people living in the attics of their homes. Word from Hickman, Ky., is to the effect that 1,000- refugees reached that place, making 2,500 there all told. Columbus, Ky., reports S00 in that town. Would Unseat Lawmakers. Santa I'e, N. M.

After she had put on his little fuzzy pajamas she tucked him carefully in between the wrool blankets. Then to make doubly sure she got a hot water bottle for him and the youngster was apparently as snug as could be, with only his little nose sticking out from beneath the covers. When his mother had finished tho tucking-in job she turned down tho light Soon the entire family was in bed. But Harold is like most youngsters. He loves his mother, and wishes lots of attention. So In Ms child mind he figured out a way to get her to his bed. "Mamma," he wailed, "I'm cold!" "Nonsense, son!" replied the mother, butwshe never made a move to go to his rescue. The little boy tried the opposite. "Well, I'm too hot, then!" he yelled.
