The question of Chicago's supply of

Indeed. there is some reason to believe that
they would not have felt badly had they
been able, as a result, of their investiga.
tons to make an adverse report. They are
forced, however, to admit that the water

throughout, and provided it is efficiently il-
tered and boiled there would be 90 chemical
objection to its potable use. Indeed il

Her Fateful Words.

The man was jealous, insanely jealous,
though heaven knows the girl gave him
no cause
They never do.
He was in love with her, and, as be-
fore stated, this man was jealous Of the
girl he loved, and he knew the name Of
the man whom he feared.
He did not tell her so, however, but
beat about the bush. as they do on the
stage.
AT the time when this story opensthey
were having an emotional tussle.
"Oh, George" she said. "what is the
natter"
"You know well enough" he replied
bitterly.
81 assure you l do not" she insisted.
But you do, and you do nothing to
make our life sweeter."
"Tell me what I shall do" she pleaded,
for, though she might be frisky with
George, she did not want to lose her grip
o n him entirely.
"Oh, George, George, why are you not
frank with me?' she pleaded again.
Georges face became ashen gray at her
fateful words.
"That's it," he Kissed, the Internal fire
of jealousy blazing in his eyes. "That's
it, Miss Smithkins, if I were Frank with
you instead Of George, you'd be all right"
The girl would have replied, but she
could not. Her tongue clave to the roof
Of her mouth.

The Dog and the Savage.

The conduct Of a dog which is struck
with a stick corresponds to that of
the savage who worshiped an anchor
which had been cast ashore, and on
which he had hurt himself when he first
came in contact with it. Superstitious
fear of this sort prevails most among
men of the lowest order of intelligence.
or in that stage of society in which hu-
man beings are physically least removed
from beasts. In proportion as they rise
in the scale of existence and unfold their
mental faculties the more they free
themselves from the tyranny of the su-
pernatural.
The terror of the dog hurt by the stick
was out Of all proportion to the pain in
hicted, and arose solely from the fact
that it was produced by a mysterious
cause. 1t was fear intensified by the in
PREVENTION of a ghostly element. and thus
working upon the imagination it assumed
the nature of religious awe.-Professor
E. P. Evans in Popular Science Monthly.

decided step in advance of all other

THIN arc Ike night skirts left behind
BY daybreak hours that onward creep
And thin. alas! the shred OF sleep
That wavers with the spirits wind;
But In half dreams that shift and roll
And still remember and forget.
My soul this hour has drawn your soul

Our lives, most dear. are never near.
Our thoughts are never far apart.
Though all thai draws us heart TO heart
Seems fainter now, and now more clear.
Tonight love claims his full control.
And with desire and with regret
My soul this hour has drawn your soul
A little nearer yet.
Is there a home where heavy earth
Melts to bright air that breathes no pain.
Where water leaves no thirst again,
And ~springing fire is loves new birth2
If faith long bound to one true goal
May there at length its hope beget.
My soul that hour shall draw your soul

IF I'd only left ny rife OF home. or
hadn't fired that instant. our home would
have been saved. Skin tho panther and
cell him the hide! wish I'd never fol
lowed after the old skinfint today"
Then the boy turned on his heel and
rushed up the rayine toward home.
Two days passed. and Caleb and his
mother had completed all pr ,parations
for departure. Both knew the futility
of fighting the cattle king, sc made ready
to depart. Ten miles distant was an
abandoned claim, which the widow and
her son had decided to squat ON for the
time.
Old Jake Benson had consented to
move the household goods without
charge. as he was an old friend of the
family. With a last sad look at the old
home, the widow and her son clambered
upon the load. old Jake cracked his whip,
and the big wagon rolled away.
The way lay through the ravinc where
Caleb shot the panther a few days be-
fore. The lad tried to look cheerful for
his mothers sake. since he knew she suf-
fered more than he over their misfor-
tunes.
After going a mile, Jake halted before
the door Of a handsome dwelling-one
that had often attracted the eye Of Caleb
on account of its beauty.
The surrounding country was a swell
ing prairie Of great fertility, all of which
was a part of the cattle kings possess
sions.
"Why do you stop here?" said Caleb
as old Jake leaped to the ground.
81 reckon it's all right" returned the
man, with a grin.
At this moment a man came out of the
house and stood by the wagon.
It was Silas Gudgeon.
"Hey, Caleb, did you bring the panther
skim cried Gudgeon in q pleasant voice.
mo, l didn't" returned the lad resent
fully.
'Mrs. Rawson, | wish you'd read
what's here before you'n Caleb go any
farther"
With these words Gudgeon placed a
folded paper in the widows hand. Then
he walked hurriedly away.
When Mrs. Rawson opened the paper
and read it, she uttered wondering cry.
Caleb looked over her shoulder and soon
made out to read through a binding
mist a title deed to 300 acres of the best
land in the cattle kings domain. on
which stood the house before him.
A note inclosed read:
"Caleb saved an evil mans life. That
act opened the wicked mans eyes, and he
hopes this deed to Mrs. Rawson will en-
title him to forgiveness for the past, if
nothing more."-True Flag.
