y Scotch laborer was dying. He had
four little children. After lying silent
for awhile he said he would like to see
them. II the poor wife brought them
to the bedside. All lie did was to take
each of the three elder children by the
hand and to say. Guide day"
Then he said to the Youngest. a wee
thing , years old. Will We gle me a
bit kiss"
The mother. lifting up the wondering
child. said. Say ta-ta to Your father"
"Ta-ta.' said the little boy in a lond.
cheerful voice. and then ran ont of
the cottage to play. The poor father
closed his eyes: the tears ran down his
cheeks. but he said no more. The alum
dance of his heart choked his u~tterance.
He was weary, too. and so guide day
was his only word of parting.-.Twen-

All u Mistake,

Last week three preachers mingled in
the crowd OF people looking at the show
window Of a large clothing store. While
they were earnestly observing the dis.
play a vigilant detective came to them
and laying his hand on the shoulder Of
one Of the ministers said:
"You must go with me"

i've as he displayed his badge. The
preacher declined to go. but after think
ing over the matter remarked: ..All
right, | will go. ! suppose ! will look as
well in the city hall as yon will" They
had not proceeded far before the detect
i've felt that he had made a mistake. lie
excused himself. and the minister walked
away, accompanied by his brother min.

incident recalls the arrest rs a suspected

4 bout Talking Cattle.

You know the superstition which
claims that cattle have the gift of speech
at midnight Christmas eve. A Schles.
wig story warns us to take such asser-
lions by faith rather than crave for
knowledge by sight. An unbelieving
farmer once hid himself in his barn and
heard one OF his horses say to the other,

I'VE shall be rid of our master this YEAR.
The prophecy so frightened the man that
he fell ill and died, and the soothsaying
horse drew him to his grave.-Harper's

A RAINY WINTER.
1t Interferes With a Large
Concern.
The Geyser Natural rlineraI Water
Company SuspendS-Liabililie
$4,000; Assets, Half.

Yesterday the Geyser Natural Mineral
Water Company. with Offices at rooms % to
80 inclusive, In the Croker building, failed,
aud the concern passed into the hands OF
Sheriff McDade. But little could be learned
about the failure, rs the entire clerical
force is engaged in balancing up the books.
preparing trial balance and a statement
OF the assets and liabilities of the company.
Elwood Bruner. who is the firms attorney,
when questioned about the failure said
that as near as he could determine at
present the company owed $4,000 and
had about $4,000 In assets, including q
splendid plant for bottling the mineral
water which was valued at $50. 600, but had
cost considerable more than that amount.
The princi al creditors are sundry printers
and newspaper advertising agencies. S15.-
COO; c. j.. Dingley 81 Co., S45 600; sundry
bills. $4,000 Mr.. Dingley. the heaviest
creditor, is a weli-known commission mer-
chant of this city and was one of the lead
Ing stockholders and managers Of the Gey-
ser Company.
The cause assigned for the failure is the
bad winter, the weather necessitating the
employment Of an extra large force of men
at the springs constantly and also delaying
the completion of the works there. Mr..
Bruner states that up TO the time the
weather interfered with the company's
work il was making money rapidly. and be-
tween January 10. the date of placing the
Geyser Water on the market. and February
% last there had been $4,000 worth Of it
sold.
Mr.. Dingley and Mr.. Proctor are now in
the East arranging to put the mineral
water on the market there, and Mr.. Bruner
believes that they will succeed Ia making
such arrangements as will again place the
concern on the high road Of success. 1t will
be several days before the exact status of
the company's affairs can be fully deter.

THE SALT WATER.
ElIert Wants to Protect
the Olympics.
He Mistrusts the Proposal to Assign
the Salt Water Franchise to the
Olympic Company.

The full board of directors OF the Olym-
son, marched into the Mayors Office at Q
o'clock yesterday afternoon and for full
hour commanded Mr.. Ellert's undivided at
tention.
The subject for consideration was the pro
position to transfer the saltwater franchise
now held by the Olympic Club to the Oym-
pic Salt Water Company for a considera-
ton Of 500 shares of the company's stock
and a supply Of 100000 gallons Of water
daily free OF charge.
Mayor Ebert is an ardent friend and
patron Of the Olympic Club, and he had
made the appointment to meet the directors
In order to be convinced that the club would
be secure in the transfer before afixing his
signature TO the document which would rat
ify the assignment.
Among those who argued the matter for
the club and in favor of the transfer were
}. d. Reddiug, recording secretary; A. j.
Treat and j. q. Phelan.
Harrison's point was that unless the order
ratifying the assignment were approved the
original franchise would be worthless and
the Salt Water Company might obtain a
franchise Independent OF the Olympic Club,
which would have to pay for salt water it
could get for nothing under the terms of
the assignment.
William LAWYER, a member of the club,
was in favor of having a distinct contract
for the amount OF water 10 be furnished the
club. as this supply was only vaguely stated
in the franchise.
The Mayor intimated that he would prob
ably give his answer to-day aud the directors
withdrew
