Hundreds of Fertile Acres Swept

' The 31issourHs a remarkable
river, tmlike' any , other, !J ',0 er
saw. To be appreciated it must
be seen and heard ..during., the
April or June rise,' when its wa
ters are red and thick with - the
powdered soil they have' brought
from the mountains; and -stolen
from the farms in the valleys.
Then it pours and swirls' and ed
dies along with , a treacherous
sound between a chuckle and a
half-suppres.sed, wliisperj 'which,
repels while it fascinates the lis
tener. It has made "millions "of J !
acres of rich black deposits, on
which it still , holds a mortgage,
the fuivclo.suro of which any man
can foresee; Some of these fer
tile acres may1 sustain':. forests
that have been growing hundreds
of years, but not 'a rod of the
vast level bottom lands? .which
lie' on either, side of the muddy
monster, varying .' in ' width from
two to twenty miles, stretching
all the way from Yankton to St.

er. Hundreds of fanners, -after
clearing away the heavy ! timber
and raising fine crops year after
year on their eighty ; or 1 more
acres of deep, inexhaustible riv
er bottoms have seen their entire
possessions swept away in a few
days by a sudden and unexpect
ed "change of channel" during
an April or June urise."
These chansres of channel have
different causes. , Sometimes 1 a
giant cottonwootl tree that has
been uprooted where . the river
has raised upon the forest above
is borne down by the current and
lodged in the mud, where it will
gradually become imbedded hi
the yielding bottom, anu,perhaps,
lie in waiting for months, or even
years, witnout giving. any par
ticular 1 suni of existence, - At
last an unusual rise takes place,
and this hidden "snag" creates
a diversion in the strong current,
which begins to circle round the
spot, and which terminates in a
boiling eddy-increasing in depth
and force, gradually diverting
the water from its former course
until a new pathway is formed
in the river bed. If the eddy is
located near the shore at the up-
ler edge of a promontory,1 und
the water is ' sufficiently high to
overflow the flats, 'a new chan
nel is sometimes can ed, straight
across some valuable farm or
timber strip, and a river town,
where steamboats -, took, freight
and passcngei-s last year, may he
from two to six ' miles distant
from navigable water next year.
A few years ago, I orest C ity,
Mo., was kissed.. 'day and- night
by the dirty lips of this Western
flirt. : To-day the1 river ; eiortjs
miles awav, out. of sight of the
old cave, and is whispering soft
things to White Cloud, on the
Kansas side, which has gained a
river, while the State' lias lost
several mousanu ..acres, oi , pru-
ductive bottom land that now
support .cattle and hogs in Mis
souri. "When the Missoini; river, bc
jrins to indulge in its semi-annu
al five lunch it frequently de
vours strips of bottom land sev
eral rods in width in twenty-four
horn's. At such times it is dan
gerous to drop to sleep near the
water's edge. There lives in
Uulo, a rtver town in South-eas
tern Nebraska; a venerable phy
sician named Thompson. One
warm June day the Doctor cast
his fish-lines into the river near
the limber, and, lying down in
the shade to watch, for catfish,
dropped oil to sleep and to pleas
ant dreams. He was awakened
quite abruptly by a neighbor,
who told him he was sleeping on
the wrong side of a long, narrow
civviee that had formed about a
rod from the river's brink. He
did not Walt to save his lines,
but instantly "got up and got."
The next instant n strip of-cotton
wood land parted eompanj".
with the main land forever and,
with its freight of trees, dissolv
ed like so much sugar in a cofleo
cup, leaving the Doctor to thank
the river for stealing his fish-lines
and the land, and. his neighbor
for saving his life. Missouri riv
er towns are 'never safe except
when located on bluffs or table
lands, like Omaha, Whito Cloud,
St. Joseph and Kansas City. .

A Ball Under Ground.
A ball was jriven last

by Capt. Matt Canavan at the

station is cool and, comfortable,
was appropriately decorated for
tbc occasion, and ; was lighted
with lamps suspended from the
Ceiling. The ladies were dress

in correspondingly inexpensive
raiment.,, : The furniture was in
keeping with the place, and,
while there was furnished every
thing necessary., to comfort,
nothing very extravagant was
seen. Never before in the Uni

An Impossibility.
There were two men got in
to a fight in front or the store to
day," said a North end man at
the slipper table, "and I tell you
it looked pretty hari for one of
them. 1 he bigger one grabbed
a cart stake and drew it back.
I thought sure ho was going to
knoek the other's brains out, and
I jumped in betw een them.' ,
The family had listened with
rapt attention," arid as the head
paused in his narrative the young
heir, whose respect for his fa
ther's bravery Ayas immeasurable,
proudly, remarked . n
ul Fe couldn't knock any brains
out of you, could hej father?!'-
The head of the family gazed
long and earnestly at the heir, as
if to detect tvidenc03 of a dawn
ing 1 humorist, but as the -youth
continued with great innocence
to munch his fourth tart,hc gasp
ed and resumed his supper. ;

One day just, before harvest,
an Ohio farmer went to Cincin
nati to buy .a reaper. A de
lighted agent collared the gran
ger and dragged . him to ; his
warehouse. As "they . walked
down, the well-slocked room,
the " farmcrj . in a . meditative
mood, quoted the Jine,.rlhere is

a iwi " v. n,,,
but before-: he could start the
second fine 'the agent broke in:
"Ah, yes, T know it- sir. .1
know it like a book.- - AVe han
dled that reaper one season, sir,
and I d take $o,000 out of my
pocket this minute if it would
undo the damage that . reaper
did' our: business in that one
year. You dou't want it, sir.
You don't want to look at it.
The machinery-, is complicated,
it gets out of order easily; you
have to send cleav to Akron for
a '-i new pieco , of gearing; ' it
doesn't cut clean, and it nearly
kills ' the ; horses. Jams- their
shoulders. all to pieces, ; sir. I
know that Teaper, sir. It's an
bid, old style, sir, and you don't
want it.' , Now, here, siiyl can
show' you a reaper that" Hut
the astonished farmer just in
terrupted him to 6ay that he
knew thercaper.. he mcutioned
was an old .style, but.. he- was
certain that it did its work well,
though, all the same; it wasn't
the kind he wanted, and he had
no idea of buying it to, work on
his ; farm. " He bought another
reaper: blood thirsty as a Cos-r
sack, and red asan autumn sun
set, and' the agent told how
nicely he sold a reaperto an old
fellow who came in there uist
dead set for some old machine
that he had never heard of before.
How it Feels to be Poisoned.
C. C. Cook, the special state
house policeman and watchman,
tools a dose of strychnine by
mistakeabout a month ago.
He was found in the state libra
ry, lying upon a reading table,
perfectly unconscious, his back
arched, and his head ? 'almost
tjaching his heels, in a violent
e t a n i c convulsion. Medical
aid was summoned, and. after
hree' hours pumping and rub-
bing, during wnicn time lie was
knotted in spasms, he : recover
ed. His first request was for a
chew of tobacco, and in an
hour's time he was apparently
in f his customary health, and
with the exception of a"-'feeling
of soreness in his muscles he felt
comparatively well. Ho slept
remarkably well thatj night and
got up in the morniiig none the
worse for his evening's blunder.
He described his sensations up
on that occasion to a jeves re
porter this morning: "After I
had taken the stuff I walked
down the street to .the Metro
politan Theatre and look a seat.
I was hot all over, grew dizzy
and light' headed;. ever3rthing
turned white, and I felt so queer
that I got up and walked down
stairs. , I went to the state li
brary and laid down on the
reading " table. That was the
last I knew until I was brought:
to. 1 didn't suffer any particle
ot
to pain, not a bit After I came
P
I asked for some tobacco.and
got np and walked around, and
if T hadn't been a little weak
and sore, I would- have felt bet
ter than I do now. ; It.ia an ex
perience I don't want to yhave
again,' though. There is too
much danger in it to suit me."

The Little Grave on the HilL
There's a spot on the hillside far avray,
Where, in summer, the grass grows green;
Wherrpbeneath a rustling elm tree's shade,
A moss covered stone is seen.

.A solitude lone and wild;
Ye I somebody's hope3 are buried there

And o'er it the summer breezes blow,
With a fragrance soft and mild,
And the autumn's dead leaves tbuktj strew
That grave of a little rhild. . .

When the month of May is nigh, : . ;

The Sand Blast.
Fort land Argus.
Among ' the wonderful and
useful inventions of the times is
the common sand blast. Diip-
pose you desire a piece of marble
for a grave-stone; yptf cover the
stone with a sheet of wax no
thicker than a wafer, then cut
in the wax the name, date, &.,
leaving the marble exposed.

men can hold their hands under
the blast without harm,' even
when it is rapidly cutting away
the hardest glass, iron or stone,
but they must look out for 'fin
ger nails, for they will be whit
tled off right hastily.
If they put on steel thimbles
to protect the nails, it will do
little good, for the sand will soon
whittle them away; but if they
wrap a piece oi soit cotton a-
round them they are safe. . You
will at pnee see the philosophy
of it. : : The sand whittles away
and destroys any hard substance,
even glass, but does not affect
substances that are soft and
yielding like wax,' cotton or fine
laec, or even the human hand.

Did you ever know a man
who grew rich by fraud, con
tinue successful through life, and
leave a fortune at death?"
, This question was put to a
gentleman . who had been in
lmsiness forty .years. "After re
flecting a while he replied :
k "Not one. 'I have seen many
men become rich as if by magic,
and win golden opinions, when
something led to an exposure of
their fraud, they have fallen into
disgrace and ruin; Arson, per-;
jury, murder and suicide are
common crimes with those who
make haste to be rich, regard
less of means."
Boys, stick a- pin here. You
will soon be men and ' begin to
act with those who make money.
Write this good .-man's testimo

this word of God: "lie that has-

The Peach-Stone.
. "Do you suppose, grandpa,"
said a little, girl,, "if I should
plant this peach-stone, a peach
tree would really grow here in
the garden?" ,
"It would be pretty likely to
grow, : I imagine," said , the
grandfather. : -

then said, "Well, I think I
won't take the trouble to do it,
for I, might ; be dead before the
tree was big enough to bear
peaches;" and she raised her lit

way. , :
"Stop!" said her grandfather;
"was that a good peach?"
"Splendid one, grandpa."

The sticky little hand opened,

curiously at the stone; then sud

away into the garden, and soon
a hole was made in the black

reverently in, and covered; but

The Man from the Rear Car.
(Denver News.)
A couple were occupying a
middle seat in - the ladies' car,
haying got on at a way station.
Probably, attracted by the in
visablc facination which never
fails to bring
about a contre-
temps, a gentleman from
a tear
car came in and took a seat im
mediately behind the pair.
There was a shock of surprise
as his eyes fust fell upon them,
and a deadly pallor overs pread
his countenance. JJut this was
nn instanl'only. Then a flush
succeeded, and a queer smile be
gan playing around tho corners
of his set, determined lips. An
hour passed. The billing and
cooing went on, and the man
was a patient and evidently an
interested listener. The people
in the car began to perceive that
something unusual was going
on. Finally tho man leaned for
ward, with that peculiar smile
6till hovering about his lips, and
said:
"I beg pardon, but 3 011 seem
to be enjoying yourselves im
mensely." '
The lady rose with a stifled
scream, ; and wheeling around
confronted the stranger with
pallid face and great staring
eves. Her companion was no
less disconcerted. He, too, had
risen to his feet, and stood un
easily looking at the intrndcr,
and paling by turns.
"My God, it has come at last!"
wailed the woman. !
The stranger was cool and
imperturbable. I
"You did not expect to sec beyond precedent in the history

exclaimed the lady from whose month, with a view to extending
eyes the tears nau aircatiy ue
gnn to trickle.
"Well, it's not unusual. Peo
ple often meet under peculiar
circumstances. I suppose you
arc on your bridal tour?"
The lady covered her face
with her hands and sank back
into her seat. She had already
begun to sob hysterically.
"I happened along this way
by mere chance," contiuued the
stranger. "I am going West
to Lead ville. I thought I
would try'and do something for
the children inasmuch' as -you
have left us. But I trust you
will not let this ncci x-nlal mee
ting disturb your enjoyment."
The woman was moaning in
abject misery.
"I who you all sorts of hap
piness, and will no
longer in
trude upon you. This, ladies
and gentlemen," facing around
to the spectators, "U my runa
way wife and her lover. They
are very pice people," and then
turning away he stalked out,
leaving the guilty couple alone
in their humiliation aud shame.
At the next
station they quit
the train.

The following is vouched for

to question him, when the boy

The gentleman then took the
boy from one end of the store
to ,thc other and told him to
point out the persona who had
hired him. He did so without
difficulty.
