MISSISSIPPI IS VERY LOW. Steamboats Can't ^tun, But Pearl Hunters Are Happy. It is only within the memory of the oldest of river men that the rivers forming the great Mississippi system have been so low in the summer as they have this year. The old timers say the low stages this year can be compared with those of 1864, when the cat fish had to climb out into the fields to moisten their parch ed throats with the dew. North of St. Louis steamboat traffic is almost at a standstill on account of the low water in the upper Mississippi. The Diamond Jo Line has been forced to take off its through boats to St. Paul and has great difficulty in getting its local packets through to Burlington, la. Many excursion boats are tied up. Several of the boats have been damaged in an effort to navigate. The river can be waded in many places, and it is a common sight to see wagBut while the steamboat companies ons fording, the stream to save bridge tolls. are suffering the pearl button factories are reaping a harvest. Hundreds of men, women and children can be seen along the water front of every town hunting clams. The shells are sold to the button factories after being searched for pearls. Many fine pearls have been found. One found by a Dubuque man was sold for $400.00. +Vin HhiA t*ivor Qro ^UliUiLIUUO aiuug UIS, v/uiu ixvt uiv getting serious, too, though the situation there is not as bad as it was last year, when practically every one of the hundreds of steamboats along that stream were either stranded in the river or tied up to the band. If it were not for the water that comes out of the Missouri, steamboat traffic would be suspended between here and Cario. While the Missouri has not risen this year to within fifteen feet of the flood stage it has maintained a steady flow of water, enough to keep the steamboats going on the Mississippi and enough for the boats running on that stream. Still unless there are rains soon in the North the Missouri is likely to go very low this fall, although not as low as it has been in some years. It has been many years since the Missouri has fallen below the zero stage. It is now eight feet above that stage, which is about the usual flow in the fall.?Kansas City Times. Poor Thompson.

Small families, such as prevail in France, indicate to Mr. James's mind intelligence and progress, while large families indicate the reverse. "Large families are so embarrassing, too," said Mr. James on his last American visit. "I once knew a man named Thompson who had fourteen children. Thompson agrefed one spring holiday to take his children to the seashore for the week-end. "They set off, reached the station, got their tickets and were about to board the train when Thompson was roughly collared by a policeman. " 'Here, wot 'a' you bin a-doin' of? the policeman growled fiercely. " 'Me? Nothing. Why?' stammered poor Thompson. "The policeman waved his trouncheon toward the Thompson family.

Danville, Va., August 12.?Race riot which, for a time, threatened to assume very serious proportions, occurred last night in Southampton county, Virginia, on a mixed excursion train returning from Norfolk to Greensboro. As a result of the trouble, Ted Stanley, a young white man of Guilford College, N. C., was shot in the breast and perhaps fatally injured. Roberet Jones, of Greensboro, a youth about 16 years of age, was severely beaten over the head with a bottle. The train consisted of 12 coaches. Ill feeling appears to have been engendered at Pinner's Point, when some of the negroes crowded into the white coaches. When the train was passing Franklin one of the white passengers went into the negro coach and purchased a bottle of whiskey. One of the negroes jerked it from his pocket and this started the trouble. ? ? A Chat With the Boys. It seems to me, boys, that health and a fair amount of intelligence are the greatest earthly blessings we can have. Do you agree with me? There is an old saying, "You never miss the water until the water runs dry," just so we never fully appreciate health until we lose it. It is easy enough to lose, boys, but get it back if you can. We older ones, who have already past many milestones on life's journey, know the piliaus axiu uaugera aueau aim wucu we try to warn you, you should listen. It shows we are interested in you and I want you to get the very best of life. You would think it very ; foolish, would you not? if some one were to try to cross the trackless ocean without a chart and compass to guide him. He would never drift into the desired port. On our life's journey, we must have something to guide us or we will be shipfrecked, God and the Bible must be our chart and compass if we wish to find true happiness. There are only two paths for you to take?the path of duty and the path of pleasure. You may be unconscious of it, but you are treading one or the other. Now, stop a mo?fViinlr nrliinli rtrott ora X7AT1 IliCIlL auu IH ill a | Tfmvu rjfxj a?v j v w* traveling? The path of duty though rough at first grows brighter and brighter and the end is eternal life; the path of pleasure starts out full of brightness, but the end is death. Now, boys, think again, which way are you going? One means success, the other failure. You can know positively what the result will be, by the choice you make. It makes my heart sick to hear men, big strong men, say of themselves, "One more failure." They started wrong, boys, and you can't make right out of wrong. So profit by their mistakes, if you are in the wrong path, stop at once, change your ways and you will never regret it. I find young folks respond to good more readily than they do to evil. They are then pure and innocent, fresh from the hands of God, but they come in contact with the older ones, and I am grieved to say, instead of being wisely led, too often it is the other way. Now, boys, you have a head of your own, use it, and reason for yourself. Is it wise to follow any human being, even your own father; no, because the Bible tells us there Is none perfect, vvnom must we 101fow, then? Follow Christ, the only perfect being that has ever lived, "even His enemies could find no fault in Him." How can you follow some one you cannot see? By studying the Bible, the most wonderful book that has ever been or ever will be written. Though written many years ago, it suits us just as well as it did the people then, because it is founded on truth, and truth never changes. It is a strange thing to me that people neglect this Book, when it tells you how to live so as to get the best of things in life. Study it, boys, it is more wonderful than any fairy tale you ever read; find the stories of Joseph and David and notice how God was with them, and after bringing them through rough places crowned them with glory and honor. Yes, He gave them earthly riches, too. He gives His children the best of everything. "No good thing will be withheld from them that walk uprightly." Is it not strange that so many people go wrong? 'An old painter, of Seina, after standing for a long time in silent meditation before his canvas, with hands crossed meekly on his breast and head bent reverently low, turned away, saying. '.May God forgive me that I did not do it better." We may all say that of our past service; not despondently, but hopefully, believing that he will not only forgive us but enable us to do better the things that remain to be done. He calls us to no strange, impracticable tasks, but to the steady tread of the patient servant. 'Patient continuance in well-doing,' that is all. That is not too much for any of us. Let us \ step out strongly, bravely, steadily. ( Look no longer with sad eyes at the 1 failure to the past." I "Go, sin no more"?these are the | Savior's words. i The past is past. True life is here j and now, 1 With seal of God's forgiveness on , thy brow, Greet life's new morning, happy as the birds That lift their songs when sunshine < fills the air. !
