Low Water in the Platte.
Not since 1883 has the water in the
North Platte river been so low in June
as it is this year. Usually we have
what wo please to call the "Juno rise"
but this June there has been no
"rise"; tho water has been getting
lower and lower until today practically
all tho water flowing comes from Bird-
wood creek. West of that point the
river is not much more than a dry bed
of sand.
For this condition several theories
have been advanced. One is that tho
government and tri-stato ditches in the
west part of the stato are using all
the water; another is that tho lack of
water is duo to the fact tho surplus
snow in tho mountains drained by the
North Platto riyor melted earlier than
usual, and others contend that the
snow fall in the mountuins last winter
was lighter than usual. Tho latter
contention would seem correct, Inas
much as practically all the streams
in Wyoming nre reported to be drying
up and Btockmen aro having trouble
in securing sufficient water for their
stock.
Regardless of the cause, it is fact
that there is llttld water in tho Platte
and irrigation ditches are practically
useless so far as watering crops is
concerned.

A Plucky W oman
Story of a Press Gang
By EDGAR FALES MOODY
Copyright, 1910, by American I'rcsa
Association.
A hundred years ago there was a
Connecticut farmer named John
Clough living on the shores bordering
on Long Island sound. Ills wife
Kuthcrliio dearly loved her husband,
and their union was blessed with ten
children.
One evening when Katherlno had
prepared John's supper and was wait
ing for Ii tm to come home and cat it
a small boy with eyes a-stnro came
running to the houso crying:
'.Mistress Ulough, your mnn's car
ried off!"
'What d'yo mean?" asked tho
frightened woman.
"Some men came nlong while lie
was a seedln' and took hlnr by the
arms and run him down to n boat.
They put him In and aro rowln' hint
out to a warship."
"Oh, my grnelous, the press gang!"
She run out of tho house and on to
an eminence In time to see the boat
pulling for a whip at anchor bearing
the British ensign from her peak.
John ('lough had been pressed Into
the British aert Ice. Katherlno was so
fond of lilin that she could not bear
the Idea of waiting for him to como
home niter a long term of service and
resolved to Join lilm If possible. The
ship remained at nnclior that night,
and tho n?xt morning, leaving hor
children h the care of her sister, Mrs.
Clough cut off hor hair, put on a suit
of John's and, taking n bout, rowed
out to the man-of-war. There she of
fered herself for enlistment. She wns
gladly accepted without a physical ex
amination and donned a sailors uni
form. She was soon recognized by her
husband, but she gave him a look of
warning, and he did not betray hor.
The Britisher sailed about for somo
time in American waters, her captain
hero nnd there impressing n man into
his service, desiring to fill up his
crew, which was Incomplete.
Ah soon as possible John and Kath
erlno concerted to muko their escape
Katherlne's plan wns to assist John
to get away, after which sho might
declare her sex and get discharged.
But they both knew that so long ns
the ship remained on tho American
coast a very sharp watch would be
kept on those Americans that hud been
impressed, so this task would not bo
easy of accomplishment. And If they
made an attempt nnd failed ono or
both would be put In Irons.
They kept a sharp watch for an op-i
portunity, but ho strict was the watch
that none occurred. Finally prepara
tions making for a voyngo warned
them that the Hhlp would soon sail
uway and If they were to put any
scheme Into execution they must do
so without further delay.
Ono day Katherlno left the collar of
her sailor Jacket open Just low enough
to betray her sex. A petty olllcer was
tho first to discover tho fact and re
ported It to tho officer of the deck.
Kntherlue was summoned before the
commander nnd acknowledged her de
ception. Tho officer would have put
her ashore at once, but she begged to
bo allowed to remain, for a time at
least, ns cook. Her request was grant
ed, and she was transferred to tho
galley. But as there was not a wo
man's garment of any kind aboard
she must needs retain her sailor togs.
Ono evening when the Hhlp was at
nnclior off New London John told his
wife that he could swim ashore If ho
could only gel away from the Hhlp.
But this was Impossible, for murines
were on watch, and any ono Jumping
overboard would be shot. If he wero
not shot a boat would be lowered, and
he would be captured before he had
swum a hundred yards. The sailors
had got wind of the Intention of the
captain to sail the next morning for
England, and the Englishmen of the
crew wero much delighted nt the pros
pect of going home.
Though the night was not dark, the
Cloughs determined to make an at
tempt. About eight bells a great flare
of light appeared in the galley, and
Kntherlue, who had secretly collected
us much lnllumnmblc stuff as she
could conceal and had touched a burn
Ing brand In II. raised tho cry of
"Fire!"
A fire on shipboard, especially on a
wooden man-of-war, where there are a
magazine and more or less ammunition
always ready for use, Is a danger need
ing paramount attention. All hands
wore culled either to the galley or to
tho pumps, and all hands except John
Clough obeyed. IIo was on tho fore
castlo at the time watching tho murlno
nearest him. Tho man was too good a
soldier to leave his post, but was too
much Interested In tho llro that might
cost him his life to think of anything
else. John Clough scuttled to the bow
sprit, got down on to tho chains,
dropped noiselessly Into the water and
swnui for tho shore.
Tho firo In tho galley was soon ex
tinguished, and uufortunatoly us it at
first appeared for Kutherlno there
wero evidences that sho had been an
incendiary. Had sho boen a man she
would have probably been hnngrd to

""Like thoRope'of "Ocnusi"
Few persons who use tho phrase
"llko tho rope of Ocnus" to dcuoto
profitless labor know tho significance
of tho expression or Its great an
tiquity. "Tho Hope of Ocnus" wns tho
name of a picture painted by Polyg
notus, n distinguished Greek, who died
in tho fifth century II. O. IIo la reput
ed llrst to hnve given life, character
and expression to painting. According
to Pliny, ho opened the mouth and
showed tho teeth of his figures, nnd
ho was l lie first to paint women fig
ures with transparent draperies. Oc
nus was a poor but Industrious Greek,
whoso extravagant wife spent money
ns fast as ho could earn it, and ho re
lated his troubles to his friend tho
painter. Polygnotus thereupon palnt
ed the picture of n man weaving n
ropo of straw, while behind him stood
n donkey, eating tho rope as fast as
It was woven. It is pleasant to relnto
that tho silent lesson hud tho desired
effect upon tho wifo of Ocnus and that
it was through her subsequent frugal
ity and thrift that Ocnus ultimately
roso to a position of groat prosperity.

Wart Superstitions.
"Wart lore Is voluminous. It Is said
that a wart will leave a person If a
lock of his hair Is cut from tho napo
of his neck without his knowing it;
thnt a wart will result if a frog spit
on one; thut wurts may bo cured by
rubbing thorn' over with a black snail,
which must afterward be Impaled on
a hawthorn; that If a bag containing
ns many pebbles as one has warts bo
tossed over tiio left shoulder It will
transfer the wurts to tho person who
picks up tho bug; thnt If one tnko a
plcco of twine, make as many knots
on It as there are warts, touch each
wart with tho corresponding knot and
bury tho twlno lu n moist place, say
ing. "Thero Is none to redeem it bo
sldo thee," tho warts will disappear,
and so on ad Infinitum.
Lord Bacon seriously wrote In one
of his works how an Intelligent and

A collection wns being taken up in

made a stirring appeal, and tho ward
en started his round with the box.
One of tho llrst members of the con
gregation to whom he offered It. says
a writer In tho Church family News
paper, was evidently ill disposed to the
cnilse.
In a stage whisper, hoard alike by
congregation and pastor, this man said
In blank vernacular:
"Tnk' it awn', lad. I'm not going to
glvo out."
At that period tho collection boxes
wero taken direct Into tho vestry.
Down came the preacher from the pul
pit., went into tho vestry, brought out
one of tho boxes and marched straight
toward the gcutleinan, all the congre

going to bliniuc tho unbeliever Into

The clergyman offered tho box to

how do you correct your watch?" ask
