The Boy Who Wanted to Drink.
From the BurfinRtou HaWkeve.

Moreover, I saw the boy who wanted
drink-a restless, questioning, uneasy,
thirsty boy. He let the window fall on
his fingers before the train had gone a
mile. He stood out on the platform
until he was incrusted two inches deep
with ashes and dust and cinders. He
went to the water cooler and got drink /;
then he came back and told his mother
he was hot, and went back and got an
other drink. He drank about four times
per mile. seldom oftener, unless he was
seized with 4 sudden uncomfortable
spasm Of thirst. If he wasdrinking, and
somebody else came after . drink, the
boy would suddenly sieze the cup he had
just set down and refill it, and drink as
though he had wrapped his stomach in
the desert of Sahara, gl&ring suspiciously
over the top Of the cup at the waiting
passenger as he drank. When he was in
his seat, he watched the aisle narrowly,
and If he saw any passenger get up and
move toward the water-c00ler, he would
jump up and race for it. If he got there
first, he would drink and snore over the
cup until the thirsty traveller forgot
what he went down there after. People
began to wonder how much the boy was
gauged for, and if he wasn't rather
straining his capacity. The remotest
hint or suggestion was enough to send
him to the cooler. When the train ran
over q creek, the water made him think
of his thirst When it ratified over .
long stretch of dry prairie, the absence
of water drove him mad. was afraid
the supply of water would give out be-
fore the boy was filed up, and he va. .
rather small boy, too. His interior cir
conference, think, must have incl0sed
an area double in extent to that inclosed
by the exterior belt. Near Waseca We
ran nearly a mile without the boy max
ing q stop at the tank. l grew very
nervous now, for I was fearful that dur
ing such an unheard of abstinence from
water his pumps would run dry, rust
out, and he might blow up. So l leaned
over the edge of the seat and said care
lessly:
"By George, but I am thirsty. l
wonder If there is any water on this
cart"
You want to understand me now, as
recording very plainly, and without any
mental reservation, the fact that that
boys mother, sitting beside him, was NO
fool. Her eyes mapped when ahe heard
my careless and innocent remark, sbe
took in every syllable of it, and she
turned ON me in q fash with II wish
you would mind your own business and
leave my boy alone"
A low, mocking murmur Of applause
went through the car, a little of it for
the indignant mother, some of it for the
charity boy, but most of It for me. She
suppressed yours truly very successfully,
but it was too late. Long before she
finished that brief sentence her boy was
down at the water-cooler holding his
eyes tight shut to keep the water from
running out of them, while he flooded
his system as though he had taken con-
tract to keep up perennial Baptist re-
vival inside of himself.

yelpiug OF a dog. A rope was procured
and George MeRae, one of the party,
was lowered to the bottom Of the shaft,
which he bad no sooner reache d than a
dog, which proved to be his own,

body of Robias with both his legs
broken. II is thought that he fell in
the shaft and breaking both legs. suf.
fered for three or four days, until death
put an end to his agony.
An iDqnesi was held on the body and
the jury found that the deceased was
named Mat. Robins; that he was ma.
