Excerpt from Doc Horne: A Story of the Streets and Town "If they had built the Mississippi levees as I told them to, long before the war, they wouldn't be washed away every year, " said Doc' Horne. "You've been through that flood country, have you, Doc?" asked the lush. "As often as you have fingers and toes, " replied Doc.' "I think it was in 3857 that I went out from Cairo in charge of a relief expedition, and the river was so high that, as far as you could see in any direction, nothing but tree tops and the roofs of houses showed above the water." "Those floods must be awful, " said the dentist. "My uncle didn't think so, " remarked the lush, with a palpable wink at the lightning dentist.
