As the awful day approached the ex-
citement became intense, and great
numbers of eredulous people resorted
to all the villages within a circuit of
twenty miles, there to nwait tin- doom
of London, Ilackheath. Islington.
Highgate. IIampstead and Harrow
were crowded with panic stricken
fugitives who paid exorbitant prices
for accommodations in these secure re
treats. Such as could not afford to pay
for lodgings at these places encauped
in the surrounding fields.
As is usual in panics, the fear be
came contagious, and htndreds who
had laughed at the predictiou a week
before packed up their goods and cht-
tels when they saw others doing so
and hastened away. The river was
thought to be a place of great security,
and accordingly all the available mer-
chant vessels and barges were packed
with people, who passed the nigtt te
tween the 4tl and 5th on board, ex-
pecting every moment to see St. Paul's
totter and the towers of Westminster
abbey rock and fall amid a cloud of '
dust. But on the following day the
greater part of the fugitives returned,
convinced that the prophecy was a
false one. A few months afterward
Bell was confined in a lunatic asylum,
where he died.
Great consternation was caused in
London in 1521 by a prediction that on
the 1st day of February the waters of ,
the Thames would overflow the whole
city of London and wash away 10,00
houses. The prophecy was implicitly
believed, and many families packed up
their goods and remnoved into Kent ami
Essex. As the time drew near the
numbers of these emigrants increased
in January droves of workmen might
be seen, followed by- their wives and
children, trudging on foot to the vil

Julius Kruttchnitt, long con-

railway in various capacities, has
succeeded Judge R. S. Lovett as
head of the Southern Pacific sys-
tem. Mr. Kruttchnitt gained
prominence in the early nineties
when he was elected to a place
on the State ticket in Louisiana
in recognition of his seryi ces in
opposition to the infamous Loousi-
ana State Lottery. Such was
the confidence of the people of
Louisiana in Mr. Kruttchnitt
that his connection with the
Southern Pacific elicited no un-
favorable criticism and he retired

Grandfather Clause Case.
Washington, Jan. 14.—The
fight over the constitutionality of
the grandfather clause in the
Oklahoma Constitution by which
hundreds of negroes claim to have
been disfranchised, reached the
Supreme Court today from the
Circuit Court of Appeals for the
Eighth District, which sent a
certificate asking for a decision.
The lower court, meanwhile,
will withhold action upon the con-
viction of Frank Quinn and J. J.
Beall, election officials under
prison sentences for the alleged
denial of negroes of the right to
vote at the Congressional election
in 1010.
It’s a good thing to tell the
truth occasionally, just to keep
in practice.
Love is blind, but after mar-
riage a man is apt to take an
occasional eye opener.
Pointed Paragraph*.
Beauty unadorned is barely
tolerated.
Frowns are free, but a smile
costs 15 cents.
Some men are born great—
then they begin to shrink.
Not all gushing letters are
written with fountain pens.
Words are the making of wise
men and the unmaking of fools.
It isn’t the depth of love that
counts so much as the length.

On the fateful inorning the wonder-

to watch the rising of the waters. It
was predicted that the inunelation
would be gradual, not sudden, so that
they expected to have plenty of time
to escape as soon as they saw the wa
ters rise beyond the usual mark.
The dny grew older, and the Thames
flowed on quietly as of yore. The tide
ebbed at its usual hour, flowed to its
usual height and then ebbed again, just
as if twenty astrologers had not pledg-
ed their word to the contrary.
Blank were their faces nr evening
approached, and as blank grew the
faces of the citizens to think that they
had made such fools -of themselves.
