An Evidence of Wonderful Growth.

A few years ago it was computed by
the ST. Louis water department that it
would not be necessary to extend the
water mains beyond Kings highway,
and the system was planned according
ly. but developments have shown that
the calculations We're at fault. The
suburbs of the city have grown Won
derfully of late, and the thousands who
have removed far beyond Kings high
way are now demanding water. The
city has now about 400 miles of water
mains in uSe

DIR. E. F. CooMBs. of the Kentucky
school of medicine, has concluded his
investigation of the case of Mrs. Mary
Stuckenbu burg, the woman who, while
apparently in cataleptic state, exhib-
tied upon her person the stigmata, or
marks of the Passion of Christ. He re-
fuses to indorse the manifestations as
genuine. but say that the phenomena
may be due to the woman's intense
mental concentration upon the Passion
nd the death of the Saviour.

Missouri Archaeological Relics.

Stephen ID. Peet. editor of American
Antiquarian, has this to say about Mis-
souri, in article on exhibition of archie
illogical relics at the Worlds fair:
There are. perhaps, more archaeological relics
in Missouri than in any other state in the union
that is to say, relics gathered in the state or by
citizens of the state. The Historical Society of
Missouri has SPLENDID collection. Europeans
are interested in these subjects. They have not
seen the relics of Missouri, though they may
have heard of them, for there are ways which
quiet men have of ascertaining what other quiet
men have accomplished 1 am satisfied that if
the Missouri exhibit is not large in other
spects the prehistoric exhibit will attract great
attention. Gentlemen of the Historical society
could secure the loan of private collections.
Possibly the Academy of Science would COM
bine with the Historical society and with the
private collections make the exhibit complete.
1t does not require much money to bring these
articles together and place them where they will
be seen. They would constitute unique feature
of the Missouri exhibit.

The Influenza Endemic.

The prevalence of la grippe around
and in ST. Louis is unprecedented in it's
ravages, and the afflicted may be num-
bered by thousands Scores of clerks
in the government and city offices, real
estate men, policemen, business, fnan-
cial and professional men, including
doctors and many women, are victims.
In many manufactures at the present
rate the working force will be tenn
porarily crippled. Many physicians in
speaking of the grip say that while the
disease is not serious, its tendency to
impair the constitution makes it I'M
pleasant.

A Story Of a Cat.

A strange story in which cat is
a pathetic character, has come to
light at Paoli, Ga. A little boy of
that village owned a cat that was a
great pet in the family. But the
cat would have nothing to do with
any one except the boy. The latter
died, and for two weeks the cat
would come as usual every morning
to ~ door and, going in the room,
would cry very mournfully and
walk over the child's bed hunting
for its lost friend. Finally the cat
disappeared, only returning occas-
ionally. AT last one of the child's
sisters saw the cat in the graveyard,
where it remains, only returning
for food. 1t keeps guard at the
boys grave, and can be heard at
night, crying pitifully.

am dying. Run to lawyer Andrews
and tell him to bring both of my
wills.
Laura hesitated.
"Do as you are hidden, said her
grandfather sternly. 1 have done
wrong, but may be able to leave
you the property yet.
Laura obeyed hum. Fortunately
lawyer Andrews lived in the next
house, and was at home. He rushed
10 his safe, took from it bulky en-
eeIope, and followed the frightened
Laura to her home.
Mr.. Pendergrass was sinking fast
when the lawyer arrived.
aHaye you both wills?" the dy-
ing man asked eagerly.
s.Yes.'
A look of great relief came over
Mr.. Pendergrass's face.
aThen tear up the last will that
discriminates against my grand
daughter and retain the viii. made
several years ago, that leaves the
property to he unconditionaIIy."
As Laura bent over her grand
father, tears streaming from her
eyes he gasped the word, "Forgive. !"
She pressed his hand and he was
dead.
AT this moment a ray of sunshine,
for the first time that dreary day,
burst through the clouds, as the
great orb sank beneath the western
horizon, and the general gloom was
slightly relieved. There was a little
soul in the day after all, and so there
had been little in the hard. selfish
man who now lay in the embrace
of death.

Lend Your Paner

Be kind to your neighbor and
lend him your paper to read if he
does not take it, and don't humili-
ate him by compelling him to ask
for it, but lay it out where he can
find it when he comes in next morn
ing after publication day. Don't
be so uncharitable as to hide it be-
cause he does not take it. Perhaps
he has conscientious scrupIes
against paying for paper he can
get for nothing. Perhaps he is mad
at the editor for saying too little or
too much about him, or the mean
thing may have shown his ingrati-
tude by asking for long unpaid sub
scriptions; in which case the paper
don't amount to anything and he
won't have the dirty thing in the
house. But he wants to read it all
the more on that account, just to see
"what the fool has to say" He has
a right to think it not good enough
to take and pay for. So humor the
fellow and give him your paper to
read. You may get your "back up
at the editor some time and want
the compliment returned.

"Any pair, if they are only mates.

James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier

question of the best way of handling
audiences, when one of them said:

How do you warm them up9"
