The Way Home,
Two little boys of under lea were
skating oa a thinly frmten canal In
Jersey City. The tee broke and they
disappeared in the water. That would
have been the end of the story bad It
not been tor a young nan named Ira
Strtngham. He bad left hi office to
Manhattan aa usual and waa oa bla
everyday walk home after bis day's
work when he saw the accident. With
out an Instant's pause be raced out
and dived Into the black bole where
the boys and vanished. And be got
them. Then he tried to raise the boys
to safety on to the Ice. though time
after time the brittle Ice at the edge
of the hole broke and let them back
Into the water. But at last, with the
aid of ropes thrown from the bank,
both youngsters were hauled to shore
and life. Ira Stringham did not fol
- low them. He clutched feebly at the
rim of the Ice, but bis strength bad
. been exhausted and bla hand could
not keep its grip. They got bla body
an hour later. "There was nothing to
distinguish this from countless other
cases, yon say; nunareas oi soiaiers
are doing as much every dsy." So they
are, fired by the call which summons
them to a glorious end and sustained
by the example of their comrades. But
Ira Strlngham beard no such call. No
one would have termed him a coward
bad be paused, weighed chances, rea
soned. "If I go after them, we shall all
be drowned," and let the great mo
ment pass. Ha chose differently. He
was something more than mer
slave to duty. His twenty-one years
of life may not have been great But

Mississippi Continues Encroachments
oa Levees Wany Who Ignored
t ; Warning Swept to Death.
"Little Rock, Ark. The rapidly-
widening lake tn Southeastern Arkan
sas, formed by the flood waters of the
Arkansas river pouring through breaks
la the laves, bad engulfed a eeore of
towns Sunday night, leaving several
thousand persona homeless, taking a
toll of IS lives and doing damage es
timated at many thousands of dollars.
Sua greater damage la feared a the
Mississippi continues to rise. Pre
dicted stages at Arkansas City threat
en a break in the Mississippi levees,
which would precipitate the greatest
calamity.
Ail day 700 men who remained in
Arkansas City toiled tn an effort to
strengthen the levee and they were
hopeful that the town would be saved.
The narrow strip of levee Is the only
land in stent there. On one side is
the great river, swollen until its sur
face is 15 feet above the level of the
town. On the other side ia a great
flood lake, nearly 40 miles long and 20
miles wide. From it only the upper
stories of buildings in Arkansas City
protrude. At the levee are three
steamboats ready to carry the plucky
fighters to safety should they lose
their battle with the flood.
The river rose two-tenth of afoot
Sunday, to the level of 5.7 feet at
Arkansas City and was still rising.
Telegraph serivce with the town
still is maintained, and the last word
from there was optimism.
"We'll win the fight," flashed the
operator.
At Gaines Landing, four miles north
of Lake village, 400 persons were on
the levee without shelter.
In Clareandon, on the White river,
where the levee broke, water was six
feet deep in the highest portions of
the town. The river bad attained a
stage of 97.4 feet and still was rising.
Little is known of conditions in the
rural districts the flooded area, but
there seems little doubt that many
who refused to leave their homes in
face of repeated warnings have J per
ished.
The present flood had been the most
disastrous ia the last 40 years of Ar
kansas history, so far as loss of life
and sufTeri ng are concerned. The
property loss his not boon so great be
cause there are now no crops to be de
stroyed.
