MISSISSIPPI LEVEES.
People Along th River Want
Them Done Away With.
Method SiiKBrodti'd for the Protec
tion of Farm and Town in
Flood Tlmea Oyinlona of
the Sufferers.
' "The levees must go." Suchiatheex
pression heard on every side during a
trip along the Mississippi river from
Cairo to Viclcsburg from steamboat
men, planters, residents of river cities,
river prophets and the oldest and young
est inhabitants of the districts which
are in or contiguous to the flooded dis
tricts. I'robably the only class of peo
ple who do not concur in this assertion
are the government engineers and mem
bers of the levee boards in the different
states. Even they admit that the levee
system has proved a failure this year,
ko far as giving protection to the land
behind them is concerned, and the only
defense they can offer is that the high
water of 1897 is without precedent, so
that no calculations based on conditions
of previous years could be taken into ac
count in coping with the floods. To this
argument the disgruntled populace re
ply: "What has brought about the un
precedented high water but the exten
sion of a levee system to keep the water
pent up in a narrow channel, contrary
to the intent of nature?" Year after
year the broad bottom lands into which
theriverhad found access have been shut
off from the Mississippi; periodically it
has broken from the restraint put upon
it and entered the forbidden lands.
' A system of outlets has been tried,
but found wanting, and now the people
along the river declare that the same, is
true of the big levee system. These peo
ple are not skilled in the science of en
gineering, but they appear to compose
a majority of the better class of citizens,
and base their conclusions on their ob
servations in years of previous over
flows. They are the class who place
notches on the corners of houses and iu
tree trunks to mark the extreme height
of the water, and who are familiar with
every crook and bend in the river, it
tributaries and lakes and bayous.
And what do they offer as a substi
tute for the great embankments which
a liberal government has helped to
create? They have many things to
offeir, but few- subscribe to any substi
tute for the levees, On the contrary,
they say that they welcome the over
flow, wit h, its resultant rich deposit of
silt on their impoverished land. The
horrors of the crevasse, the resistless
current w hich uproots trees and sweeps
houses from their foundations mre not
characteristics of an overflow, but are
the creatures, of the levees, produced
only when the big embankments fail t
hold flie river iu its course, and, havin
increased it pent-up fury, finally allow
it to wreak denl.lt mid devastation with
the force which the levees alone cre
ated. "jct, the periodical oven-flow
come," they ty, "and we will welcome
thcircalin approach and permit them to
enter our Welds and plantations wire
fltrained." Then they (Ktint to the great mounds
which a prehistoric nice have erected
on both 6 ides, of the river commonly
called "Indian, mounds," and declare
that this was. it method a former raee
had of meeting the waters. Many of
(these mounds have been taken jMtsses
sinn of by the planters, a.ul where they
do not exint t he planters have already
begun their erection. On these houses
and barns are built, cattle jhmis are
elected, and they erveas most effective
havens during the time. of overflow.
Another method which is already em
ployed, even behind some of the largest
and strongest, levees, in which the peo
ple Intfe jh confidence, as & result of
years Of experience, is that of building
tuiialljprivnte levees about the few acres
ineluiled iu their orchards, gardens
and dots of g round surrounding their
Jionf.s and those of the hundrtiltiof em
plofrson every grout plantation.
Sime of the people who are. opixised
flie continuation of the levee system
(Vil advocates of the, "straightening of
tiy river" theory. This class declare
thltt the money now being expended
by the government in levees could he
applied to much belter advantage in
straightening- out the crooks and bends
which the erratic Mississippi takes, and
materially decreasing the distance be
tween Cairo and New Orleans, deepen
ing the channel and allowing a freer
access to 1he gulf. VmI here the op
JmuibuU of the levees lose the mpHrt of
their adherents, the stenuibunlmcn,
who sny that such a stream would
have m swift a current us to render
navigation practically impossible.
Muchof the dissatisfaction w hich ex
ists among the people where the levees
are not. under the control of the gov
ernment is due to their belief that the
state boards nip honeycombed with cor
ruption, ami that the funds appropri
ated by the states serve, as a grab-bag
for those, intrusted with their distribu
tion in the form of high otlleial i-alaries,
expensive clerical forces, exorbitant ex
pense accounts, and open connivance
with the contractors wtio work and bid

5mall Homesteads in Pennsylvania
Very Cheap.
Dcaerted Home with Good AeeM.
iBOdatlom That Mar Be Had
for One Dollar at
Month.
A traveling man who returned froic
a business trip by wagon through east
Pennsylvania said to the Sun corre
spondent: "There is noneed for any eastern mail
to go west for a free farm. In my trav
els just ended I passed more than a
dozen deserted homes in the country
good homes and stables, with not a
sign of an occupant. Some of these
homes have a dozen fertile acres each,
a good spring, some woodland, and
fences still in fair condition. At other
places the acreage was not so large. At
one place there were 15 acres.
"In the northern part of Berks coun
ty, where the soil is dark and good, I
came across a two-story frame house
with five rooms and an out kitchen, a
bake oven, pigsty, and a small frame
barn. There was a garden, too, all over
run with weeds. No one had lived there
for two years. I asked the owner of a
big farm near by what the matter was.
He said there was nothing the matter
with the place, only the right man had
not come along yet. It had ten acres,
and the farmer was working those acres
along with his own rather than let
them be overgrown with weeds and
Canada thistles, to spoil his own land.
The owner gets no rent. The house and
barn are nailed Bhut and everything is
going to decay. 'They have a good well
of water, too, and a good spring down
there under the willow trees,' said the
farmer. 'The man who lived there last
moved to town, saying he could not
make a living and pay the rent of $24
a year. Think ot a nice country nonie
like this for $24 a year, and yet not
rented! Any good man and wife can
get along on such a place, yet people
are not renting it. They ought to be
able to make ends meet on ten acres.
A man could keep a horse, a cow or
two, chickens or ducks, and could raise
a good many things on ten acres. It's
a slow man who can't pick up odd jobs
in the country to make hi rent and
have a little besides.'
"Notwithstanding all that the fanner
said, the fact remains that dozens of
such little country homes in eastern
Pennsylvania are entirely deserted and
nailed shut. I have now in my minda
very nice house with a front yard, grape
arbor, garden with picket fence, bake
oven, outhouse, stable, and nine acres
of ground, located on a hillside over
looking a beautiful valley. That place
has been deserted for two years. The
man who last lived there got a job in
the city and now pays ten dollars a
month rent, whereas he couldn't pay
$1.50 a month in the country. It is a
puzzle to me why men can't get along
on ten good ueres like that. I can only
conclude that they are too luzy to work.
"The other day I doubled the road
and noticed that a. formerly deserted
house, near Churehtown was occupied.
It surprised me. I stopped and learned
that a city family on a vacation had
taken the house for two weeks, and
were having a picnic In the country.
The housew ife said it was a shame that
such u nice house should be tenantless
and deserted. Twenty dollars would
fix up the kitchen and chimney, and a
smart man could make the ten fertile
acres blossom like the row, but the
great trouble is to find the smart man
who wants to leave the city and live
in the country as n small farmer.
"The other day a good house, new
frame stable for two cows, 12 acres,
good garden, fruit trees, good well of
water, grape arbors, bake oven, and all,
sold for $150. The buyer paid $25 cash
and gave his note for a year for the bal
ance. The piece had rented for one
dollar a month, and the tenant cheated
the landlady out of n year's rent, so
she sold the farm rather than have it
among the deserted.
''An able-bodied man with a fewhun
dred dollars can buy a good little home
at many nice places In eastern Penn
sylvanin, and if he makes up his mind
to pitch in, be saving, nnd work when
it doesn't rain, he can live comfortably
The trouble seems to be that so many
men would rather loaf thnu earn a h
ing."N. Y. Run.

Thy are Subjected to Great Injuries by
Women Shoppers
"The reputation which some large
stores get for being disobliging to their
customers or having uncivil clerks could
in the majority of coses be traced
direotly back to the shoppers them
selves," writes Edward Bak, of" System
less Shopping," io the November Ladies'
Home Journal. "I make no claim of
perfection for the olerks who stand be
hind the counters of oar great stores
where wotnn shop. They are only
common mortals, tall of faults. But
considering what they are oulled upon
to go through and endure nt the bands
of thoughtless women, the constant
wonder is that they are so oivil and
obliging. If the truth oould ba known
it would be found that they suffer far
more than tbey inflict suffering. If the
roll could be called of bard-working,
innocent girls who have lost their posi
tions because of illfounded cimplaints
made by 'influential' oaatomers whose
accounts the firm could not afford to
lose, It would be a roll of disgrace to
American shoppers. The girls behind
the oooDter are human although from
the aotions of some women we might be
lieve otherwise human in their faults,
bnt also in their finer feelings. Very
often tbey represent better familes,
better breeding, than that which is re
vealed to them from the other side of the
oounter."
RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
The auooese of free rural delivery is
an instance of results being obtained by
government far exceeding the expecta
tion of any but the most sflnmne. It
did not seem possible upon first thought
that the department oonld attempt the
carrying of letters and papers to farmers,
miners and other oountry dwellers with
out doubling or trebling the annual de
doit of of the poetoffioe, and the first ex
periments in rural delivery were watched
without much enthusiasm; but the
official reports on the results are sur
prising. For example, a test has been made in
Montgomery county, Indiana, where the
routes radiated about twelve miles from
a oentral postofQce at Crawford. During
the first month mail matter delivered by
rural carriers averaged about 1000 pieces
per carrier. At the end of the year it
bad increosed to about 5000 pieces per
montb. On the other hand the collec
tions at the beginning were only from
eight to ten letters per day, while twelve
months later tbey were from fifty to
sixty letters per day, besides newspapers
and other matter. Daily newspapers
are destined to be among the largest
gainers from rural postal delivery, and
in Montgomery county it was found
that the Chicago and Indiannpolis news
papers inorensed their circulation con
siderably. It is even olaimed that the
convenience of having mail matter
brought to every farmer's door has cre
ated suoh a good foeling among the
oountry people that the value of farm
property has made a sensible advance.
The report is oouflrmed by others, up
on experiments made in different parts
of the oountry, all tending to show that
rural delivery increases the volume of
mail transmitted several fold. The prob
anilities are tout uerore many years
rural postal delivery will be established
throughout this country, ns it already is
throughout Germany and sumo other
European countries.

A HORSELESS-CARRIAGE FACE.
Awful Y inure That Will Surpass th

This cast of comitennnce.brought about

Yes, of co'se it's interestln to a feller from the
range,
Mighty queerlsh, too, I tell you, sieh a racket
for a change
From a life among the cattle from the wool
shirt an' the chapa
To the b'iled shirt o' the city an' the other tony
traps !
Never saw slch heards o' people th rowed to
gether; every brand
O' humanity, I reckon, in this whole big moun
tainland, Hounded up right here in Denver, runnin' on
new sort o' feed,
Actiu' restless an' uneasy, like they threatened
a stampede!
Mighty curious to a rider comin' oil' the range!
He feels
What you'd call a lost sensation from sombrero
cl'ar to heels-
Like a critter strayed that's drifted in a wind
storm from its range
To another run o' grazin', where the brands it
sees is strange.
When I see a city herder, a policeman, don't
you know,
Sort o' thiuk he's got me spotted an' is 'bout to
make a throw
Fur to rope me an' coral me as a stray till he
can talk
On the wire an' tell the owner fur to come an'
get his stock.
Yes, It's mighty strange an1
funny fur a cow-
boy, as you say,
Fur to hit a camp like this
one, so unani-
mo u sly gay;
But I want to tell you, pardner, that a rider
such as me
Isn't built for overfeedin on such
crazy
jamboree.
Every bone I got's a-achiu', au' my feet's as
sore as if
had hit a bed o' cactus, an1 my hinges is
as stilt'
From a-hitin' these hot pavements as a feller's
J'iiite kin git;
Tain't like holdln' down a broncho on the
range a little bit.
I'm hankcrin
I tell you, fur to hit the trail
an run
Like a crazy locoed yearlia
from this big
cloudburst of fun,
Back toward the cattle ranches, where a feller's
breath comes free,
An' he wears the clothes that fits him 'stead
'o this slick toggery;
Where his home is iu the saddle an' the
heavens is his roof;
An' his every-day companions wears the hide
an' cloven hoof;
Where the heller o' the cattle is the only sound
he hears; ,
An' he never thinks o' nothin' but his grub an
