architect of fine reputation. We know
of other Watertown people, but the
mention of them must be left for anoth-
er time. The Columbus Glee club, ac
mpanying the editors on their travels,
! was indebted to WATERFOWL for two of
its best singers-C. c. Eaton, of the
Columbus Democrat and j. G. Ford.
Cutting adrift from the editorial par
ty, we went west from La Crosse on the
Southern Minnesota branch of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway as
far as Albert Lea-131 miles. This is a
delightful ride, for about sixty-five
miles out of La. Crosse reminding one
of a trip in the Pennsylvania Allegha-
MES, the road cumming through bluffs
and along the. Root river, beautiful
scenery meeting the eye everywhere.
At Albert Lea we found Victor Gillrup,
a former resident of Watertown, en-
gagged in the real estate and insurance
business. Last January Mr.. Gillrup re-
tired from the office of register of
deeds, after having served several
terms. Another Watertownian, John
A. Lovely, has just removed from AL
bert Lea to st. Paul. About year ago
Mr. Lovely moved to Portland, Ore,
but that city did not strike him favor
ably and he came back, satisfied that
Minnesota was good enough for him.

Pliny B. Basford, who erected the first

house, on Third street, First ward.
The latter is in very feeble health, oc-
casioned by a recent fall which injured
his spine.
At all points on our journey there
were evidences of an abundant harvest,
the reapers being busy in the wheat,
barley and oat fields. Corn, the only
backward crop, is nearly up to it's aver
age condition at this time of year and
promises well. The feeling of pros
poets ahead for good business this fall
is partaken of by everybody you meet.

This is how little school-boy of Lon
don wrote about visit to the Geological
garden:
'0f all the animals in this world, the
Zoological-gardens is the most. You go
in by gate, and when you have got bit
way down, there they are all round you.
Ameriky can't be nothin' to it. They
can't run about and hurt you, coz there's
kage dropped over them all. They look
so vexed coz you can see all they do, and
can have good stare all round at them
and they keep lookin' in the corners to
see if they can't find some bushes and
things to hide behint The lion, which is
the king of all the animals wot ever lived,
was so little that couldn't have noen it
was him, only have seen his picter, and
my mother said-Look, Tom, now you
can say as you've seen lion
"Why, he isn't quarter as big as eli
phent, and he hasn't got no trunk. l
think the eliphent could master him if he
liked; but the big silly won't try, coz he's
so kind and doesn't want to be king. He
looks at yer through the bars like as wOt
he was saying-'You think as you can
fight, don't yer, little bow, Just coz you no
| can't get out, all coz of this bloomin'
kage. Ii L could only skweez through I'd
swallow YOU and yer mother too / said
to my mother, L should like to hear the
lion aroaring.' Then she said, why that
was aroaring just now when the keeper
looked in at him. Then / nearly cried,
was so wild; why, it wasn't like thunder
and lightnin' at all. 1t just opened its
mouth wide, like as ye'v seed men sittin'
at their doors and a-gaping on Sunday
afternoon, audit yoped no louder than a
applicant man does.
"The hippopotimus is like a little
mashed eliphent with its trunk sawed
off. Its skin is so thick that it can stay
in its pond all day without the
water soakin' through. Il makes yer
shiver when its eyes look up at yer. Its
with no white, and bleedin' red skin all
round. Kangaroos are so nice that you
can look good while at them without
feelin' tired. Their back legs are about
four times longer than their front ones,
and they are lot too big behint They
sit up just like dogs a-begging, and they
have bag right in front for their babies
to roll about in. The fox, what thought
was as big as carves, isn't worth a-lookin'
at acoz of its size. It's not a bit of good in
bein' sly where it is now, COS there's no
farmers nor huntin' men allowed in the
kages. 1t looks as though it wanted to be
sly but KANT. like the ellyphent more

THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET.
About $3.50 Spent to Decide Whether 1t
Should Give Way to a New One.

philadelphia Record
An expenditure of several hundred
dollars and the ripe legal talents OF ex-
{. S. Atty-Gen. Wayne Macy eagh have
finally settled bitter dispute in Lower
Providence township, Montgomery county,
over the old oaken bucket which, after
hanging half a century at the school
house well, was broken three months ago.
The old oaken bucket and a rusty tin cup
have done service at the school-house
well time out of mind.
The venerable grandfathers of the place
assert that the old bucket and cup were
there when they used to romp and play
around the school-house in their boyhood
days. There has sprung up a tradition
among the school lads and lassies that
the old bucket and the antique cup would
never leak or wear out. Many of the
school boys who had in years past drunk
out of the bucket and cup had become
famous, among them the Hon. Wayne
MacVeagh, who received his early educa-
ton in the Shitepoke Level school. Sew
eral months agoit was gloomily announced
that the old bucket was beginning to leak.
and signs of the cracking of the cup began
to appear. Then one of the hooks of the
handle broke, and the iron hoops were
loosened.
For some time the old utensil and its
companion, the antique cup, dangled
uselessly in the we'll. Two months ago,
however, DR.. Charles Weber of Evans
burg sent the bucket and cup to a neigh
boring shop to be repaired. School Di-
rector Harry H. Alebaugh one unlucky
day found the bucket gone. He supposed
that some old resident had quietly laid
the time-worn and honored utensils away
TO rest forever, and he purchased a new
yellow bucket and glossy tin cup for 90
cents. At the next meeting of the school
board he presented his bill for 90 cents.
Much to his surprise, the board repudi-
ated the bill, because DR.. Weber, at his
own expense, had had the old bucket and
cup made young again and restored to
their places. The board contended that
as Mr.. Allebaugh's action was not author
lied he alone was responsible. Then the
row began. During the next two meet
ings the board devoted all its energies 10
amicably settle the matter, but School Di-
rector Allebaugh would not move a peg,
and two months ago he took the case be-
fore Squire Fetteralf. brother of Presi-
dent Fetteralf of Girard college.
The case was argued several times be-
fore the squire, who finally held it under
advisement on a technicality. Ex-Atty.-
Gen. Wayne MacVeagh was consulted,
and two bucket experts were engaged to
find out if the new articles had been used.
The experts decided in the affirmative.
On Monday last Squire Fetteralf decided
that the school board would have to pay
the 90-cent bill and all the court expenses
At the conclusion of the case it was found
that the entire squabble had used up $3.50,
besides the time and attention of about
twelve men for two months, and heavy
lawyers fees.

None. The prominent men of the day
did not want to risk their reputation for
sanity by pretending to be one of His
followers Now that is all changed
Among the mightiest men in our great
cities to-day are the Christian merchants
and the Christian bankers; and If to-
morrow, at the board of trade, any man
should get up and malign the name OF
Jesus, he would be quickly silenced or
put out. In the front rank NJ all our
Christian workers to-day are the Chris
tian merchants; and the enterprises OF the
world are coming on the right side. There
was farm willed away some years ago,
all the proceeds OF that farm to 60 for
spreading infdel books. Somehow matters
have changed and now all proceeds of
that farm 60 toward the missionary cause.
One of the finest printing presses ever

ever had. He is so kind-He is so lovely,
so sympathetic. I cannot see how you
can stay away from Him. Come now and
