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

after being searched for pearls.
Many fine pearls have been found.

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.

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

Race Riot on Excursion Train Between
Norfolk and Greensboro.
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."

"Go, sin no more"?these are the |
Savior's words. i
The past is past. True life is here j

With seal of God's forgiveness on ,
thy brow,
Greet life's new morning, happy as
the birds

failure, life or death?
