Ifter Four Years Returns Vase Stolen from Church. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 10.?Four ears ago a brass baptismal vase, a dot high, was stolen from the church >f the Advent in this city. Consci>nce-stricken by the act of sacrilege 'ommitted while intoxicated, the hief has sent back the vase with a etter confessing the robbery. The etter and package were from East >t. Louis, but beyond that nothing s known, no name being signed to he letter. LT "Vf Oforieif Ar nootnr f\f 1 lie lie V . XX. X?X.

As a means of internal commerce md as a highway the Mississippi canlot be overestimated, but it is a ricky and treacherous stream at imes, and must be closely watched >v the proper Federal and State auhorities. This great stream penetrates the nost fertile region of the United states for a distance of nearly 2,500 niles and drains a territory that is mormous in extent. The total area )f the territory in question is equal :o that of Austria, Germany, Holand, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Norway and Great Britain.. The navigable tributaries of the Mississippi will aggregate over 15,)00 miles in length, and they reach >ut to the most remote limits of the irea of the great valley drained. The iver, in its winding course to the Julf of Mexico, covers a range of six md one-quarter degrees of longitude md eighteen and one-half degrees of atitude. The river starts from iprings near Lake Itasca and the iource is 1,500 miles above sea level. Tjie average fall of the river is- 1.5 eet per mile. The area drained by the Mississippi liver is too vast for sudden comprelension. It equals nearly one-half of he area of the entire United States, ind is 1,256,000 miles in extent. It ouches three States, two territories, ind two provinces in British Ameri:a. Only seven States to the westward and eight to the east lie enirely beyond the influence of this iver. The headwaters of its tributaries ;xtend in longitude from New York >n the east to Western Montana on he west. In latitude they reach from 3ritish America on the north to the lulf of Mexico on the south, in all Lbout 1,800 miles of longitude and ,500 miles of latitude. At flood time the discharge of this luvial giant amounts to 2,000,000 :ubic feet of water per second. This s what the Federal and State auhorities are trying to control, and here is small wonder that they have i gigantic task .on their hands. One peculiarity of the river it at flood time o bring down with it great quanities of sediment and to raise and ihange the bed over which it floods. This has necessitated the constant aising of the levees along the river. Far back into the misty past, beore Cortez came, before Ponce de ^eon tried to find the fabled Founain of Youth, and before Fernando le Soto discovered it, the Mississippi, >r Mesasippi, as the Lake Superior ndians called it, has always been a ;reat waterway, a thing of mystery, leld in awe and reverence by the aboriginal tribes and all the early adrenturers who penetrated as far west md south. Back farther still, to the ime when the river was a vast estuiry or arm of the sea, and in its waers swam strange and uncouth mongers of a forgotten period and age, he valley was ruled by this great itream. But as the Spaniard discovered, and later, the French and Engish, this great valley and the delta :ountry was the richest that God ever ?ave to man. Since that time there las been going on a constant and lever-ending fight for supremacy beween the Father of Waters, and the nen who have taken their abode in he fertile bottoms. At that time the >ark canoe and dugout of the Inlian and the bateau of the French jettler were the only craft plying the iver. Then the French took the up~? T nnicinna on/1 urifh them JUUUH15 Ul uuuioiaua auu "nu ;ame ships. Following them were the English. The pioneer post established on the river by the French was in 1699, by the famous d'lberville. The English came later, and New Orleans ,vas founded in 1718. It is a well-known fact that at loodtime the Mississippi river caries a great deal of silt and sand ilong with it. This is eroded from he banks ana neia in suspension u.v ;he current till its velocity reaches >uch a low ebb that it is deposited. By this means the many bars and crossings in the river are formed md the bed of the stream built up is well as the banks. A woman always knows when a man is in love with her. A man often knows a woman is in love with tiim when she isn't. ASKS INVESTIGATION. Jennings Questions Blease's State- Sh< ment About State Loan. Columbia, Jan. 11.?A memorial 1 from State Treasurer R. H. Jennings ha] was presented to the senate to-day, sin by Senator W. L. Mauldin, of Green- the ville, in the form of a joint resolu- wa tion, calling for the appointment of iff a committee of investigation to be ral composed of two members of the Ma senate and three members of the Coi house, to look into the facts sur- Sej rounding the borrowing of the ?500,- Wi 000 by the State for running ex- an< penses and which the governor claim- an< ed credit for in his annual message, of Mr. Jennings took exception to this pul ? ? J ?r? * Vi /-V rlomon/l fnr Q n wh clliU Lilts 1 CO UK ID tuc U^uiauu ivi um " investigation of it and to ascertain to to whom the credit belongs by a com- the mittee of the general assembly. The bli: vfhole matter was referred to the fi- bee nance committee, of which Senator the Mauldin is chairman. of Blease Claims Credit. The letter, which Treasurer Jen- Br< nings addressed to the general as- Qu sembly, refers to the following part 3 of the governor's annual message: of "Your attention is called to the fact F1( that with the assistance of J. Pope 15: Matthews, cashier of the Palmetto PiE National Bank, of Columbia, money was borrowed at the lowest rate we have ever had, except during the ad- 1 ministration of Gov. Heyward, when a part of the amount was secured to ra* 3 per cent. In some instances it has Jo1 been necessary to leave 20 per cent. dei on deposit, but in this borrow, such Pel was not the case, and, while the Sai money is on deposit here, it is drawing interest for the State, thsu further reducing the net cost of the loan, which has not been done heretofore. tfc* "The State treasurer signed the ^a: notes, I then took charge of them tin and went to New York with Mr. Mat- ^01 thews, and after all arrangements t0 for obtaining the money had been ^C( completed, in the presence of Mr. sei Matthews and Solicitor George Bell Timmerman, I signed the notes and turned them over to the proper authorities. The arrangements were s not completed before we reached Newr York; the notes were not executed th until after we had arrived in New ^ York, as will be attested to by Messrs. a 1 Matthews and Timmerman and any ' report or correspondence to the con- ev trary is a malicious falsehood and was an effort to rob me of the credit due me in securing this loan." ] Not True, Says Jennings. lt:. TO 1 After quoting this part of the messsage in his letter to the general . J tic] assembly, Mr. Jennings added: "This statement is not in accord- _ * ance with the facts and is a reflection upon me as treasurer. I, therefore, respectfully ask that your honorable ( body investigate this matter and as- mil certain the true facts of the case, so aw that you may not be misled as to pri the administration of the affairs of the the treasurer's office." Atl The following is the concurrent Gn resolution as offered by Senator at Mauldin: . . str "Be it resolved by the Senate, and uni house of representatives concurring, fiv< That a special committee, consisting pre of two senators and three members J of the house of representatives, be be appointed by their respective presid- bat ing officers of the two houses at once the to examine into the matter of the in terms upon which money was borrowed by the State during the year 1911, referred to in the governor's annual ^ message, and that the committee re- CQr port the result of this investigation fQr to the two houses as early as prac- g ticable." far hez Raises Ducks in Bathtub. ter Boulder, Colo., Jan. 4.?To raise prize-winning ducks, use the family an( bath tub, is the advice of a Boulder man, owns a number of Indian did der man owns a number of Indian sea runner ducks, and he wanted them sctJ to be in good condition for the Boul- al* der poultry show. But the cold thr weather came on and the ducks be- ne^ gan to look shaggy. ^ari Brown studied over the situation. ^0 Finally he gathered his choicest ducks and took them to the house, where he anounced to the family that ( they would have to return to the tub back of the kitchen range or use the pdi kitchen kettle for their baths, for ^ he needed the bathroom. veg Filling the tub with water and placing the ducks therein, he closed the door of the bathroom, a broad smile wreathing his countenance.
