Drainage and Pure Water.
tn The Editor of The CHICAGO Tribune.

NEW YORK, April 14-If it be admitted that
the best way to secure perfect drainage and
pure water for Chicngo is to create current
from the lake through the river by q conduit to
tho Desplatnes River below Joliet. Us urged
through TAE TRIBUNE, would suggest modi-
fication Of the plan rs follows:
Let conduit be constructed from the head
of the East Fork Of the South Branch to the
nearest accessible point to the Desptnines,-
probably near the Summ!t,-whtch shall be at
the same gradient as though intended to reach
tho level below Joliet There construct q
reservoir OF moderate capacity, tho bottom OF
which shall be as low rs the bed OF tho conduit
And there place the engines and pumps which
are now Mt the Fullerton avenue conduit, and
pump from the reservoir into the DesplAncs.
This could be speedily constructed and put to
work Mt comparatively tEitiing cost, rs there
would be no rock excavation, nor would the
depth be great 1t would answer O very good
purpose-good enough for tho present. Another
year another conduit may be constructed from
the North Branch into tho same reservoir, when
both branches will be measurably purified. and,
possibly by allowing the flow through the canal to
be uninterrupted during the winter, and using
tho pumps during the summer. there would be
no pressing necessity for extending the conduit
to Joliet for some time to come, though the
work OF extension can go on as circumstances
shall indicate.
OF course this project involves some consid-
erations and details which need not mention,
but think there are no insurmountabie difficult
ties In the way. j. II. HANNAHs.

(sevoral months since The TRIBUNE published
an article on the subject, which contained a

CHICAGO, April 14.-In an editorial paragraph
this morning you allude to an expression OF
Lord John Manners, but do not quote correctly
During the old anti-corn law agitation (which
eliminated in 1913 by the repeal Of those OBJ
noxious laws), party Of young men, chiefly
belonging to the nobility, came into existence,
and Lord John Manners, scion Of the house OF
Rutland, was its acknowledged head. They
styled themselves tho s. Young England" party.
Just about this time Lord John published a
small volume Of poems for private circulation,
in which occurred tho following lines:
Let trade and commerce, laws and learning,
die,
But give us back our old nobility"
For these lines he WIS nercilesly rIdiculei
BY Punch, and, the ridicule being reflected and re-
pehted by other pupers, 1t became SO we'll known
throughout the length and breadth Ut the land
that It ultimately stranglcd the party of which
its author was the originator and tttular chief.
The matter is Of very little moment anyhow,
but you may have need tous tho couplet again,
and for "a,1ld acquaintance " sAke / give you
the benefit of my. recollection Of words and
events in the years that are past ~

Can the evil wrought by gossip

wise woman can scarcely say too
little In company ii the conyersa-
ton trenches in the least on scan
dial. Many a social, noble-minded
woman has been obliged to with
draw herself from q neighborhood
intimacy which would have been
pleasant otherwise because her re-
marks are returned by some idle
tale-bearer, so perverted as to make
her doubt the existence of genuine
friendship, and accept loneliness
for the sake of the safety it broughtk
You say we must talk about some
thing.' Yes, aud through that
very fact we see a remedy for the
evil, to so thoroughly interest our
selves in other and better things
that we find no space to spare for
our neighbours affairs. Let US talk
of our work, our homes. our house
plants, our books. or our babies,
Let as teach our eyes to find beau.

them by constant watchfulness to

A Rarefoeted Groom.

About twenty years ago young
fellow named Johnson, in the
wilds of the Cheat Mountains in
West Virginia, made up his mind
10 be married.
"But y on have not penny
demonstrated his friends.
II have my hands. A man was
given handsome to scratch for
himself, the other for his wife," he
said,
On the day of the wedding,
Johnsou appeared In whole coat
and trowsers, but bare-footed.
This Is hardly decent said the
clergyman. II Will lend you
pair of shoes"
mo-" said Johnson, when / can
buy shoes / will wear them--not
before.n
And he stood up TO be married
without any thought OF his feet.
The same study conduct showed
itself in his future course. What
he had not money to pay for. he
did without. He hired himself to
farmer for years work. With
the money he saved he bought
couple of acres of timber land and a
pair Of sheep, built himself hut,
and went TO work on his ground.
His sheep increased. AS time
flew by he bought more; then he
sold off the cheaper kinds, and in
vested in South-down and French
Merino. His neighbors tried by
turns raising cattle, horses. or gave
their attention 10 experimental
farming.
Johnson having once found that
sheep. raising in his district
brought a handsome profit. stuck
TO it, He had that shrewdness in
seeing the best way, and that dog
ged persistence in following 1t.
which are the surest elements Of
success.
Stock-buyers from the Eastern
markets found that Johnson's
fleeces were the finest and his NUT
ion the sweetest on the Cheat. He
never allowed their reputation to
fail--the end Of which course Is,
the man who married bare footed
is now worth large property.
The story Is an absolutely true
one, and may point moral for
the hordes of stout, able-bodied
men who crowd the cities COM
planning that they must starve for
want of work.
