TJIE CHANGEABLE Missoula. Placea Partus Wheresoever Its Fancy i May Dictate. (From the American Magaziae.) There are rivers of all lengths and sizes, and all degrees and wetness. There are rivers with all sorts of pe culiarities and with widely varying Halms to fame. But there ls only one river with a personality, habits, dissipations, a sense of humor and a woman's caprice, a river that goes traveling sidewise, that Interferes in politics, rearranges geography, and dabble? iu real estate; a river that play? hide and seek with you to-day and to-morrow follows you around like a pet dog with a dynamite crack er tied tc its tail. That river is the Missouri. This thing happened in Kansas City not many years ago. A party of men owned a strip of land along the Missouri River bank. It was not handsome land, but lt was valuable for factory purposes. They were of fered portly prices for ?I, but heid on. One day they notlod that t/e strip was getting emaciated. They ti eld a hurried diagnosis with a surveyor's tape and found that half of it had been washed away. The next year half of the remainder had gone. The men wanted to sell then, but the market seemed remarkably slug gish. The next year the river ate so vigorously that only a tiny strip about as wide as a piece of baby rib bon was left. The men were much depressed. Suddenly the land began to in crease. The Missouri had chosen the late manufacturing site for a place to deposit a fine 160-acre farm upon which it had foreclosed up the river. Inside of six months that strip of land contained 200 acres. The men were jubilant, but still they would nw sell. They wanted another 100 acres, they said. They strolled along the bank each day and urged the river, in proprietary tones, to build faster. ' Then the river changed its mind once more and not only wiped out the extra 100 acres, but the original 100 acres, ever* foot of lt. The next year it built up 500 acres in the same spot, but they all belonged te the man who owned the ground be hind the original plot. They have stayed there ever since -that is, up to last reports. For high financing and property Juggling the Missouri makes a crooked lawyer look like a child. I hate to think what lt would do for a man if lt had a personal friendship for him. Cut It Out. (From the Milwaukee Sentinel.) If you're falling prey to worry, Cut it out; If you find you're wont to hurry, Cut it out; If you meet a pretty girl And she sets your head a-whirl, Don't, oh, don't your love unfurl-* Cut it out. If at Fate you wish to rall, C out; Don't be ,. hy when you fall, Cut it out; If some morning you should feel Your appendix pain you, steal To the good kind doc and he'll Cut it out. T. E. ALEXANDER.
