He 1b a chubby little fellow who has not begun to atretch out yet and he keenly feels hla “shortage." He demands that he be recognized as a little “grownup.” Several days ago the teacher planned to instruct her pupils in dancing “the Butterfly." A five-year-old girl who is small for ber age, and just a trifle stouter thah our hero, but an adept at dancing, was assigned as his partner. He gazed at her in silence. Then he took hold of her hand and. with his mouth set firmly, walked straight over to th« teacher. “Don’t you think you’d better give me a bigger girl?” he asked.—lndianapolis News.

ILL TELL'STOHIES OF HEROIC DEEDS Survivors of the Flood Disaster Proud of Record Made by Brothers NEEDS OF OTHERS PUT FIRST No One Has Cause to Be Ashamed of Spirit Displayed In Agonizing Time—Some Fearful Experiences Brought to Light. Chicago.—" Women and children first.” This world-old cry, made more memorable «when the Titanic disaster thrilled the world, echoed over the flood-stricken districts of Ohio and Indiana. Refugees who reached Chicago told innumerable stories of men risking their lives to save the women and children. The unwritten law of the sea was observed on the inland rivers. The entire tenor of stories told by refugees was one of bravery, self-sacrifice and devotion to the weak and unprotected. “Women and children first." Only One of Many. "What is your name?” asked the registerer who received refugees at Dayton, 0., of a slender person in men’s clothing. , "Norma Thurma,” was the reply. Norma came in with Ralph Myers, his wife and little baby. had climbed a telegraph pole first. He let down a rope to his wife, who tied it to a meal sack which contained their baby, three months old. Myers pulled the rope with its precious burden up and then let 4t down to aid hia wife. Holding on to two thin wires, he traveled across the cable a full block to safety. t Whole Families on Roofs. All of tbo first terriblo night, whilo the city of Peru, Ind., was in inky darkness because of the cutting off of the gas and electric light supply, men, women and children, and in some instances entire families, lay flat where they had crawled to the roofs of their hemes, waiting for daylight to bring relief. Hundreds of others were lammed In the courthouse and lodge buildings, which were in the only four blocks of the city not under water. The first thought of rescue parties was to send into the town boats to carry to safety those who were threatened with drowning. Telephone communication had been opened with points in the residence and business districts and from those marooned in buildings it was learned that many persons, Including some women who held their children in their arms, had been on roofs exposed to an almost freezing temperature all night. One man telephoned he had seen several tall from exhaustion and slip Into the water. It was the purpose of the rescuers first to reach those in greatest; danger. Hundreds of others huddled together at the courthouse, although to want of food and water, were to he taken later. Heroes In All Classes. If a great loss of life was averted at Peru, this is due to some heroes of the Owen Wister type, river men and water rats from surrounding lakes, who by unbelievable prowess with a pair of frail oars rescued the doomed, and in splendid harmony with their virile efforts shines the spirit of women who valiantly helped, supremely oblivious to distressing surroundings. Among the latter are Mrs. R. H. Bouslog, Mrs. R. C. Edwards, and Mrs. Albert Shirk, all three wives of local millionaires, and also leaden in the self-sacrifices required to provide sandwiches, coffee and smiles to a panic stricken multitude In emergency quarters. Among the boatmen-two brothen, Charley and Ted Knight, are praised on the corner* left In Pern. Ted. with W. A Huff, a dentist, braved the turbulent waten of the Wabash river, cutting off Peru on the south side and rendering uncertain the fate of the inhabitants of South Peru. According to the report the two rescuers reached the opposite shore alive, after having been overturned several times. The Man en the Reef. There were two heroes on the Dayton floods. Their names are M. B. Stohl and C. D. Williamson, and thoy are employes of the American Telegraph and Telephone company. Btohl Is a wire ehlef at Dayton. He reached the Dayton office of hls company late the night before the floods came. The rush of the waters put all the telephone batteries and power out of commission. Forgetting thoughts of escape, Stohl rummaged around until he found a lineman's test set. With this he rigged up a sending and receiving apparatus, and cut in upon the wire on the roof of the four-story building. This wire connected him with Phoneton, a testing station eight miles away. Thus he established communication with Williamson, whose batteries were still working. Then Strhl sent messages from the flooded city, otherwise cut off from communication with the outside world. All night he stuck to his post All next day he remained. The following noon found him still on the roof of a building whose foundations were being sapped by the waters. there he stayed in the rain and cold, with the prospect of death staring him

Optimistic View. "Too bad!" s&i<l the optimist to the man next to him on the 'bus, -whose hat had been blown into the river; “but it might have been worse." / *1 can’t see how," replied the hatless one, with a stare. “Why, it might have been my hat" He Knew It Already. Wife (bitterly)--When you married me you didn’t marry a cook. Husband— Well, you needn’t rub it In.

In the face every moment. He sobbed a strong man’s sob as he told hls tale of death and desolation; of floating wreckage bearing men, women and children doomed to death; of dead bodies borne upon the crest of the wa ters; of piteous sights, in themselves enough to unnerve the bravest of men. But he stuck to hiß post. Surgeon Tells Graphic Story. Dr. Ray B. Harris, a police surgeon of Dayton, Ohio.'and one of the chief workers among the injured immediately after the cyclone, told a graphic story of the sufferings of the hundreds who were hurt. “When we began to collect the bodies we realized for the first time the fearful state of affairs.” said the physician. “It was as grewsome a task as I ever worked at. Some of the bodies were twisted into frightful shapes and some had pieces of wreckage—wood and iron—driven through their bodies. Dozens were smothered to death, some were burned, still others were crushed and beaten to death by the flying timbers. “Every physician In the city, and even the medical students, were at work Sunday night and all day Monday. 1 impressed two dentists myself, although I didn’t want any teeth drawn. They worked like Trojans, too. “Some of the taxicab drivers thought it was a golden opportunity to reap a harvest, and demanded huge sums for carrying the injured to the hospitals. The doctors wouldn’t stand for anything like that, and I personally thrashed two drivers who presumed to haggle.” Another husky young doctor had an argument with a chauffeur, who demanded $5 apiece for conveying two Injured women to a hospital. When he would not yield the physician seized a piece of board and knocked the man senseless with it. Then he took the chauffeur to the hospital with the women and ministered to him. . It is such incidents as this that evidence the fearful night of terror and panic and the day of sorrow that fallowed. Hang te Roof Thirty Hours. After hanging to the roof of their home for thirty hours, with a strong wind blowing and a heavy snow falling, August Schmidt, wife and two children were rescued. None of them could move a muscle, being chilled through. They were removed to Van Cleve School, where hundreds of other rescued were taken. “I’d have fallen into the water If it hadn’t been for daddy," exclaimed the little girl, who was first of the four to. recover sufficiently to talk. “When the water came into the house we had to climb on the root Daddy held me and mamma held brother. Oh, it was cold. 1 thought I was going to die, but daddy kept hold of me.” A little boy, who, during the night clung in full sight of the rescuers, was rescued. He probably will die. The little fellow was discovered after the flood had risen so high he could not weather the waters. Heroic Rescues Common. From all parts of Dayton come stories of herolo rescues. The. stolid volunteers pay no attention; to them. All of them for three days have constantly offered their lives to save otherp. Several of these men have given their lives on rescue vork. Their names are unknown. Watchers on the banks saw them trying to reach persons In floating houses, saw their boats upset and the men go down. Late In the day a large frame house floated down the river. Four women were In the windows. As they neared the Main street bridge they waved at the crowd on the banks and the building struck the pieces. There was a swirl In the murky waters and a little farther down stream the debris appeared, hut none of the women. Victims Are Cheerful. One of the remarkable features was the cheerful spirit with which flood victims viewed their plight. This was Dayton’s first great flood in many years. Much of the submerged area had been considered safe from high water, but as the majority of residents of these sections looked out on all sides upon a great sweep ofmuddy, swiftly moving water, they seemed undisturbed. In some of the poorer sections the attitude of the marooned was not so cheerful. As a motor boat passed before the second floor of one partly submerged house a man leaned out and threatened to shoot unless they took off hls wife and a baby that had just been born. The woman, almost dying, was let do’wn from the window by a ropo and takon to a place of refuge. Further on, members of a motor boat party were startled by shots In the second floor of a house about which five feet of water swirled. The boat was stopped and a man peered from the window of the house. "Why are you shooting?” he was asked. “Oh, Just amusing myself shooting at rats that come upstairs. When are you going to take me out of hero?" ho replied. The bodies of a woman and a baby were seen floating down Jefferson street, one of Dayton’s main thoroughfares. It was thought they came from the district north of the river. Go Insane, Slay Families. There were stories of insanity caused by the flood at Dayton. A father had killed his four children and his wife and then leaped Into the flood. ' Children had been horn In boats that were carrying their mothers to

I thought his reputation for sobriety was above suspicion.” “But, you see, he can’t get any other kind to drink but hard water.’* Taking an Oath.

places of safety, and on the roof* of buildings, only to die from expos ure. The suffering of the survivors hud died together in the marooned built ings was awful. Food and water could not bo taken to them. Foreigners killed their countrymen and even members of their fam ilies in their desperate efforts to obtain food, according to John Volbrecht of Yukawa street, in North Dayton, ! who was taken from the one remain- ; ing abutments of the Herman street j bridge. Volbrecht said he was at his home with his family when the flood j struck North Dayton. The house was ; picked up _by the current and cai> ! rled against the Herman street bridge. Volbrecht said he clung to the bridge ! and didn't know what became of his family. One woman with a ten-day-old baby ; climbed over the roofs o< three houses to reach the rescuers. Many Rescued by a Cable. Many thrilling stories rvere told by the Dayton refugees who had been trapped in their attics and on their j roofs in the very heart of the flood. ; A. J. Bard of Belmont avenue, who was penned in the City National j Bank building on Third street, near Main, Tuesday, was rescued. ‘‘One hundred and fifty of us were caught in the building,” said Mr. Bard. “We remained there until the fire started, then we began te plan an escape.” “We cut the elevator cable and obtained a ball of twine and some small wire from one of the offices. We attracted a boatman, who risked his life to come to us. We gave the boatman one end of the twine and he rowed to the old courthouse. He then pulled the wire over and after that the heavy cable. “One end of the cable was made fast in the bank building and the other in the old courthouse. Then, with only the light of the burning structure, the 150 persons in the hank building made their way, hand over hand, along the cable over the swirling torrent to the courthouse. I believe every one, men and women, made the trip in safety. During our imprisonment I had two crackers and a slice of chipped beef to eat.” Only Doctor a Drug Fiend. Terrible scenes were reported from West Indianapolis. Conditions in the flooded district were made worso by the fact that the only physician who was there to attend sufferers was a victim of the morphine habit. Vo. the Methodist church a woman rescued from the bottoms gave premature birth to twins. The physician, what with the horror of his duty'and his inability to obtain more of the drug, went insane, and after making three unsuccessful attempts to jump from a window, was placed la a straightj, jacket. Forty Dead at Bridge. Richard Lee, an engineer on the Pennsylvania, who brought In the last train over that line from Logansport, reported a terrible condition at the Pennsylvania bridge over the Wabash on the outskirts of Logansport. “This bridge is biat-ed across an island and is as near indestructible as a bridge can be made," said Mr. Lee. “It is eighteen miles down stream from Peru and has caught all the debris from that town. “I think we saw the remains of more than 100 houses stacked up against this bridge, with the current tuning and pulling at them. We could make out thirty or forty deadbodies In the crushed lumber, and It seemed as if some section of Peru must have been overwhelmed suddenly and swept down stream to destruction.” Robber Prices of Boatmen. Boatmen in Peru, Ind., reaped fortunes by carrying flood sufferers from the danger zone at exorbitant prices, according to M. S. Scott, a traveling salesman of New York, who arrived from Peru with twe other traveling men. “The condition at Peru," said Mr. Scott, “cannot be told. I was at a hotel across the street from the court house and last night six babies were born to women who lay on the bare floor of the building. When we learned of this we had them rowed across the street and gave them our rooms. The boatmen charged $5 each to row three women across the street We paid sls to be hauled three miles, and were lucky to get off that cheaply."Passengers Give Refund Meney.

Out of eighty passengers seventysix readily gave np their slips. Among the four was an Englishman Just arrived. The flood situation was explained to him and Daube pictured the sufferings of the victims. “I, don’t believe It," declared the Englishman. “It is some bally American scheme to defraud strangers. Show me your credentials. I never heard of any flood. I know all about your schemes In this country to defraud travelers.”

The Refuge, vv. 10, 11. Every wrong act entails retribution. Leaving the luxurious home in Beersheba, Jacob went towards Haran, which name signifies “a parched place.” Out yonder in the desert at a certain place, not any particular one, this refugee tarried during the long cold hours of the night. Gathering a few stones as a rude couch, Jacob slept. There are three things to consider about him that night: (1) He was lonely, which gave him time to meditate upon his life and his actions: itLJhe was in a great fear (37:43), which of course quickened his thoughts as to the ultimate outcome of these experiences, and (3) he was certainly weary. What picture, a weary, troubled, sinful fugitive whose experience had brought him to a time and into surroundings wherein he was compelled to think on his ways. If only men would think and not stifle conscience more of them would throw themaelvee upon the mercy of a loving father. 11. The Revelatlen, vv. 12-15. Jacob was not in reality alone. Both God and his angels were there in that lonely desert place, Ps. 84:7-139:7. It was not an accident that caused Jacob to dream that night. Undoubtedly this dream came from God. Dreams were frequently used of God as a means of revelation, a method that it not needful now that we have the holy spirit, John 75:13. Verily all heaven was at Jacob's right, hand. There are three distinguishing features about this revelation: (1) The Ladder. This might have been suggested to Jacob by the nature of the mountainous country over which he had been or was passing. A ladder is a means whereby we attain unto the higher things; (2) The Angels. They were first ascending, then descending; suggesting, in his extremity, Jacob’s ascending prayer and God’s descending answer thereto. In this the hour of Jacob’s deepest trial God stood at the top of the ladder ready to reveal himself and to succor: see 35:3. There is in point of fact a close and a real connection between earth and heaven, only a veil intervenes. Jesus is our means of communication between a holy God and sinful men. John 14:6, Heb. 10:19. 20; (8) Gcd. Jehovah introduced himself in a most gracious and comforting manner. He it was (v. 13) that had protected and guided Jacob’s father and grandfather. He was a tried and tested family friend and notice the wealth of blessing promised in verses 13-15; (a) possession of the land: 0>) perpetuity of the possession to Jacob’s children; (c) abundant progeny;*. (d) children spread abroad; (e) promise of blessing, fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Gal. 3:16; (f) promise of security, “I am with thee’’; (g) promise of continual keeping, “I will keep thee whithersoever thou goest.” How marvelously and how miraculously these promises have been fulfilled throughout the centuries. God has not yet departed from his chosen people, though they, like Jacob of old, arq now suffering the penalty of their sins. Jacob Arose. 111. Tbs Result, vv. 16-22. Jacob awakened and the ladder was removed. but the revelation remained! The presence, the keeping power, the guidance and the ultimately finished work in Jacob’s life remained after the dream had passed. So much was he impressed with this that he exclaims: “Surely the Lord is in this place.” Jacob's fear (v. 17) is the beginning of wisdom. Ps. 111:10, see also 32:28. The words “gate of heaven.” v. 17, signifies the gate to a populous city; in like manner we have the promise of an encamping host ever about us. Ps. 34:7, 2; Kings 6:16,17. Jacob went a step further, he arose, signifying action. It is not enough to have a vision. Godly fear Is always accompanied by action. Taking of the thing at hand, a stone, Jacob erected a memorial, and pouring oil (consecration) upon it, he called the name of that place Beth el, the house of God. In like manner God would have us to take of the common things of our every-day life and erect a holy memorial out y of them to the honor and glory of his name. ’Twas not alone the place of vision, but also of prayer, and true prayer involves work. Then he “vowed a vow” —God had_ promised him, now he promised God, “since (not “if”) “God will be with me, etc.” This was not so much a bargain as an agreement that Jacob would do his part in consequence of what God had promised. Thus we see that the result of this revelation was (1) a Godly fear; (2) a time of consecration, and (3) the beginning of that final and complete change in Jacob whereby he became Israel “a prince.” This lesson is a wonderful revelation of the love, grace and patience of God watching over and dealing with one of hls erring children. Jacob had forfeited his home by hia folly. Note his surpriseful expression, “Surely the Lord was in this place and I knew It not.”

MADE YOUTH A SAILOR GREAT MAN REMEMBERED HU PROMISE TO BOY. Had “Fought for Jackson,” and thi President Redeemed Partial Promise That He Had Made Some Years Before. The subject of Mr. Stephen Bonsai'* stirring biopraphy, “Edward Fitzger aid Beale.” was the son of Paymaster George Beale, who served with distino tion under Macdonough at Lake Champlain. and of Emily, the daughter oi Commodore Truxtun of the famous Constellation. Young Beale, as a member of two naval families, therefore, had what was regarded in the old navy as a prescriptive right to enter the service. With the advent of President Jack son. all such rights were brushed aside, and the claims of young Beale might have been overlooked except for a fortunate and characteristic incident. The boys of Washington, where the Beales spent their winters, were an dent politicians, like their fathers, and they were diyided by allegiance to antagonistic statesmen. The disputes between the Adams partisans and the Jacksonians grew- so bitter than the boys decided to settle all their polttt cal differences once for all by the ancient test of battle^ Ned Beale was the Jacksonian champion, and tho Adamsites were represented by a boy named Evans, who afterward became a distinguished citizen of Indiana. The fistic battle was appointed to take place under a long arch, w-hich at that time marked the southern entrance to the White House grounds. While the battle raged and the enthusiastic spectators applauded, a tall figure suddenly appeared, scattered the boys, and seizing Beale by the collar, asked him why he was fighting. He replied that he w-as fighting for General Jackson, and that his nent had expressed a poor opinion 6f the president’s politic* and personality. “I am General Jackson.” said the man. “I never forget the men or boys who are willing to fight for me, but r do not wish them to do It all tho time. Now put on your coats." A few years later, when Beale reached hls fourteenth year, his desire to enter the navy became overwhelming. One afternoon he called at the White House with his mother to see General Jackson and ask for a mid Shipman’s warrant. Mrs. Beale told her story, and spoke of the fact that her boy was the son and grandson of men who had served their country and been wounded In battle. Jackson listened with courtesy, but seemed uncertain how he should act. Suddenly the boy Inter rupted hls mother. “Mother, he said, “let me speak to General Jackson.” He then reminded the president of the fight and the promise he had made, at least by implication, to serve him whenever the opportunity • presented. Without a word. General Jackson i tore off the back of a letter lyiqg near | him, and wrote to the secretary of the j navy. “Give this boy an immediate j warrant,” and handed it to Mrs. Beale I —Youth’s Companion. Treasure Hard to Get At. News that a fresh attempt is to be ! made to recover sunken treasures | fr«n the ship General Grant recalls ! the story of that ill fated vessel. She I sailed for London from Melbourne in | 1866 and was wrecked off the Auckj land islands. For two years her disappearance remained a mystery. 'fheD i chance led to the rescue of a few sur- | vivors. who told how the vessel had I been dashed against a cliff 400 feet high and in sinking had been swept into a cave at its bdtse. There for close on half a century the wreck has lain in fourteen fathoms of water, with treasure to the value of $1,250.000 In the bullion room,to tempt the treasure hunter. The estimate may be an exaggeration, but the‘report has already attracted five well equipped expeditions. The swirl of | the tide and the deadly backwash within the cave have so far defied the efforts of the most skillful and daring divers -to reach the treasure. It remains to be, 6een whether the sixth attempt will share the failure of its predecessors. Imaginary Insomnia. Brand Whitlock, who Is writing stories and books when he is not mayor,, ing and reforming, hates, with all the vindictiveness that is in hfs heart - clocks that strike the hour and throw , out on the silvery air of night their bell-like chimes. One evening he went to Columbu* and put up at a hotel near a church tower, which was some tower when It came to chiming.
