Pete Lowell, the veteran field super

parts Salt Lakeward in a day or two.
He has been on the line between Salt
Lake and Virginia City since 1859,
making WI round trips annually be-
tween those points. He has slept out
of doors, on an average, eight months
of each year. IL is estimated that he
has climbed 10000 miles of telegraph
poles in the Is years he has devoted 10
the business of repairing, and some of
the boys say he has become so perfect
in the art That he can shin up a
pole as quick as electricity itself
would make the trip. Pete says every
pole for the whole 500 miles is indeli-
bly, fixed in his mind, and when it
comes down to the watering and camp
ing places along the line, he can go to
any one of them blindfolded. lie has
with him at all times two helpers,

"sTICK TO YOUR BUSH"
Practical Advice, Which Every On
SnOuld Heed.

Practical Advice, Which Every One
Should Heed.
A rich man, in answer TO q q uestlon
how be became so very successful, recited
the following story:
will tell you how it was. One day
when l WAS lad, party OF boys and
girls we're going to pick blackberries. l
wanted to 90 with them, but was afraid
father would not let me. When L told
him what was gong on, and he at once
gave me permission to go with them, L
could hardly content myself l rushed
into the kitchen, got basket, and asked
mother for luncheon. had the bss-
ket on my arm, and was just going out
at the gate, when my father called me
back. He took my hand and said, in
very gentle voice:
Joseph, what are you going to do2'
"To pick berries" | replied.
"Then, Joseph, want to tell you one
thing. 1t is this: When you find
.pretty good bush, do not leave 1t to seek
a better one The other boys and girls
will run about, picking little here and
little there, wasting good deal OF time
and getting but very few blsckber-
ries"
l went and had capital time. No
sooner had one found bush than he
called all the rest, and they left their
| several places and ran of to the newly
found treasure. Not content more than
n minute or two in one place, they ram
bled over the whole pasture, got tired,
and at night had very few berries. Ny
fathers word kept ringing in my ears,
and | struck to my BUSH" When l had
done one found another. When night
came had basket of berries, more
than all the others put together, and was
not half 50 tired as they were. l went
home happy. But when l entered l
found my father had been taken i'll. He
looked at nay basket full of ripe black
berries and said:
"Wen done, Joseph. Was l not right
when l told you slwsys stick to your
bush2'
He died few days alter, and l had to
make my way in the world as best |
could. But my fathers words sank deep
into my mind, and never forgot the ex
perience of the blackberry party. l
'stuck to my bush" When had fair
place, and was dong toerably we'll, l
did not leave it and spend weeks and
months seeking one l thought might be
little better. When other young men
; said, come with US, and we will make a
fortune in a few weeks" shook my
head and stuck to my bush. Presently
my employers offered to take me into
business with them. / stayed with the
old house until the principals died, and
then l had everything l wanted. The
habit of sticking to my business led peo-
pie to trust me, and gave me character.

Stick to your BUSH"

sFor my heart beats loud and fast;
But surely In the tar, tar distance
can hear Song at last"
alt is only the reapers singing
As they carry home their sheaves;
And the evening breeze has risen,
And rustles in the dying leaves"
Listen! there are voices talking"
Calmly still she strove TO speak,
Yet her voice grew faint and trembling,
And the red flushed in her cheek,
alt Is only the children playing
Below, now their work Is done,
And they laugh that their eyes are daZ'
By the rays of the setting SUM-"
Fainter grew the voice and weaker,
AS with anxious eyes she cried,
"Down the avenue OF cheStnuts
| can hear q horseman ride"
at was only the deer that were feeding
In herd on the clover grass;
They were startled and fled to the thick
ct,
AS they saw the reapers pass"
Now the night arose in silence,
Birds lay in their leafy nest,
And the deer crouched in the forest.
And the children were at rest.
There was only sound OF weeping
From watchers around a bed,
But rest to a weary spirit,
Peace TO the quiet dead

HOW 70 Make a We'll.


First, of course, the well must be so con-
structee that it cannot act as drain for
the noigh borins soil This can be done
by making the wall above low-wster
mark, of some material impervious to
water, or by emitting this part of the
wall altogether. The first can be accom-
plished by having the wall from point
two or three feet from the bottom made
of brick with coating OF hydraulic
cement on its exterior, or of hydraulic
well-tubing with the Jennings we'll
protected with cement; in either case the
earth should be thoroughly packed around
the wall, and a slight embsnkment should
be made around the orlfice to prevent the
inflow of surface or storm water.
In such well the draining surface is
so reduced, and placed at such distance
below the surface of the ground, that in
the great majority of instances the in
PRODUCTION of foreign matter becomes i'm
possible, except in so lar as there is
chance that substances will fall into the
we'll from above. To prevent this the
well should be kept covered when not in
use. In most cases, however, it is better
to omit the upper part OF the wall alto
gether. After the excavation is completed,
the wall can be built in usualmanner for
distance of two or three feet, more or
less, as circumstaL ces many demand; the
service pipe can then be placed in posi-
ton, and the we'll arched over. The re-
msinder of the excavation can then be
ill ed with earth, well packed as it is
Al -, thn tNina narriad tn
con venient point. 1t will be necessary
to place above the arch several layers OF
stones SUCCESSFULLY smaller to prevent the
falling of earth into the space below.
The workmen will probably suggest a
layer of turf or straw to accomplish this
object, but the presence of either OF these
substances will cause the water to be I'M
pleasant for considerable time, and will
prove the cause of much annoyance.
There is a prevalent notion that well
should be ventilated for the purpose of al
lowing noxious gases to escape; and that
water is better for being exposed to the
air. | hardly need state that the only
noxious gases in well a.. e., gases which
render the water unwholesome) are the
products of the decomposition OF organic
matter which has found its way into the
we'll in ways which have been described
above, and that water as it flows in its
subterrsnean passages is more perfectly
erated than it can be in any other way.

a true cavalier, and his barb moving as
a horse that knew his rider.

Crow, sand durn my cats if you shant

But as that very second Big Hug gave
a snort and lurch, and started up the
mountain side at an angle OF ninety de-

peculiar red streak ia the brook wherein
he was taking a morning draught, after
the manner OF Elisha, and, walking up
the bank some distance, there he beheld
something like Crow washing his head
in the brook, while the crimson
sIream lrom more tnaH one gaping
wound flowed down and dyed the wave.

Crown" says the squirreist.
