Three children and a woman were drowned at Hannibal, lo., by the col llslon of the steamer Flying Eagle, towing a bargo filled with Sunday school excursionists, and a pier in the Hannibal bridge. About 250 children from the Sunday school of Hann:-ba- l had boarded the barge and a number were on the steamer. The excursion left Hannibal to run to Quincy and afford a view of the swollen Mississippi. As the boat swung out into th ; river the cylinder head of the bow engine blew out, disabling her and placing the craft at the mercy of the swift current, which seized the craft, and, despite all efforts, bore it straight down toward the stone pier of the bridge nearest the shore, With A crash the steamer was hurled against the pier and wrecked, For a but did not sink imediately. the pier was It wedged against time by the current, and tkfe children and the accompanying adults climbed up the pier to the bridge, tn this way almost half of thfi $sSeagers were saved. Before all could reach safety the curbarge was veered around by the rent and finally swung loose from the pier and floated down stream. In the sudden swinging of the barge the three children were thrown into the water and swept to their death.

That a man may be an artist la any profession, no matter how lowly, was brought to my attention In an amusing manner last summer when I was visiting a little country town in England, said the Tourist GirL There was a stonecutter In the town whose reputation was great among the people as a designer of tombstones and a writer of appropriate epitaphs to put upon the stones. One day a disconsolate widow came to him with a request for a headstone which for' her departed husband should bear this Inscription: " My sorrow is Greater Than ; ' Can Bear. Being a wise man, aware of the frailties of the human heart, he tool, care to leave space on the stone s, that more could be added at any time. A year later the widow made him another visit. She was about to remarry, and wanted him to efface the inscription on the stone and write a more fitting one. No need for that, maam, was the reply. I allays looks to contingencies when theres widders left All thats wanted to that Inscription is Just one word put at the end of the others. In the space left there.

RIVER 8TEAMB0AT WAS BARABBAS A PUBLISHER? Incident That Recalls Jest of George Auguetus Sala. The recent news of the arrest at gang of Budapest of a notorious thieves, whose chief turned out to be a publisher, recalls the story of George Augustus Salas presenting a Bible to a certain London publisher who had handled some of his books, says Harpers Weekly. The publisher was at a loss to understand Just why he should have been singled out for this peculiar gift, until some time after he discovered a slight change in the wording of John xvlil., 40, where the phrase, Now, Barabbas was a robber, wag made to read Barabbas s was a publisher.

The accompanying curious Illustration represents a double catfish given many years ago to Prof. Silliman, an American scientist The fish was captured alive in a shrimp net at the mouth of Cape Fear river.

To the American people the white house represents the personality of the president of the United States. To the politician the magic words may stand for the goal of an ambition too often associated with the deepest and most poignant disappointment, while to the historian the name may typify decisions that have marked epochs in the affairs of nations. In the mind of the people, however, the official character of the building has always been subordinate to its domestic uses. Popularly speaking, the white house is the place not where the president works, but where he entertains. Charles Moore in Century. He Punished Her.
