MY SWEET.

My sweet, there's nothing to forgiSe.
! still am in your debt,
Who gave a hope, IL not the gift
On which my heart was set.
Had you seen fit to grant your love

And yet who gains what he desired
Aye proves mere hope was better
And 30 there's nothing to forgive.
Yet, since | own u debt.
For your dear sake I'll do the rest.
And very oon forget.

Purifying Water.

While the importance of pure water is
universally admitted and ways of obtain
ing it are said to be many and certainly
are complicated, it is a consolation to find
some simple formula that will purify or
binary water, especially in reservoirs and
filtering basins. The preparation is COM
posed of calcium ~permanganate, l part;
aluminium sulphate, 10 parts; fine clay,
80 parts. These are thoroughly mixed and
one part is added to about 10, 900 parts of
water. 1t is said that even sewer drainage
is almost completely purified by this mix
ture, 1t precipitates all of the impurities
and living organisms, and the clear por-
ton may be drawn off and used with per-
feet safety. This is simple and surely Of
great value, especially where malarial con-
ditions prevail. New York Ledger.

How King KAlakaua Prevented Post

The abdication Of Queen Liluokalani
recalls an incident in which her pred
ecessor, King Kalnlsaua, figured when
he visited this country eleven or twelve
years ago. The Rambler, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser, does not
recall tho exact date, but remembers
that he met the distinguished monarch
In Philadelphia at the Continental ho-
tel. Kalakaua was fond of the good
things of life, including all sorts and
descriptions of liquid refreshments. 1t
was his proud boast that he always
drank like gentleman" which, ac-
cording to his Interpretation, was the
power to consume vast quantities Of
champagne without affecting his mem
tai powers or his equilibrium. And he
could do it; and so could his private
secretary. They were in Philadelphia
for a couple of weeks, and in that time
were wined and dined lavishly by the
best people in town. The king became
q sort of gastronomic mentor for young
blades who wanted to emulate him,
and they thought they had learned
something wonderful when his ma jesty
confided to them the secret of his abl-
ity to dine well and show no after Ill
effects. He drank n teaspoonful OF
olive oil after each bottle of fizz. This,
he explained, caused the surface of the
wine to remain covered while In the

carbonic acid gas from going to the

traordinary favor by the bon vivants OF
the day, and would probably have
maintained his reputation as gentle

unlooked-for happening.

son streets in Springfield, Ill. Mr..
Lincoln bought it in 1916. 1t was then
q story and half house but sub.e-
quently raised to two stories. 1t Is o
plain frame structure and contains
twelve rooms. Mr.. Lincoln lived there
fifteen years; in fact, until he departed
for Washington on the 18th of Febru-
ary, 1861, to take the presidential chair.
A family by the name of Tilton occu-
pied the house during the war, and In
those four years sixty-fve thousand
people called to see the home of the
president. For eighteen years after
the war closed the house passed through
different hands and it was closed to the
public. For a long time it was unoc-
cupied. In November, 1888, Capt. o.
FL. Oldroyd rented the house and threw
its doors open to visitors. In 1887 Rob-
ert Lincoln decided the house to the
state. Capt. Oldroyd vas the custodian
for long time, but was removed by
the democratic administration, his suo-
cessor being Herman Hofferkamp.
Capt. Oldsoyd is now the custodian Of

gether. The state could well afford to
have bought the collection and set
apart fund for its preservation.
The house, says the Chicago Tribune,
ts open to the public now and is vir-
tually just as Mr.. Lincoln left it. Some
repapering and repairing has been done,
but the proportions in the house are in
no way changed. A year or so ago the
state officials had the house photo
graphed and had accurate measure
nnents made of the edifice that it might
be rebuilt in case of fire.
Hundreds of thousands of people have
visited this house, men and women
representing every civilized nation of
the earth, and some of the barbarous
ones, too, for that matter. Some years
ago John Philip Sousa, then the leader
of the Marine band, gave a matinee in
Springfield. AT the conclusion of the
performance he took his band, sixty
five pieces in all, over to the Lincoln
mansion. After appropriate music every
member of this famous body of mu-
sicians made his signature on the reg
lister book. The occasion attracted an
immense crowd, and numerous and
prominent speeches were made by citi-
xens of note. Sousa held special
train two hours to accomplish this, he
and his men regarding it slight testi-
monial of the respect in which they
held Mr.. Lincoln's memory.

Capt. P. H. Ray, of the regular army,
now in charge of the Shoshone and
Arapahoe agency in Wyoming. Capt.
Ray has practical views touching the
Indian problem, based on his long con,
tact with the red man. He believes that
the Indian can be made self-supports
ing and useful citizen, and all that is
needed is to furnish him a sufficient in
centive to work for living, the same as
his pale-facc brother.

addition to that they raised enough grain
for the reservation and to supply the
neighboring military post, having o
surplus besides to sell. They hauled
every pound of freight from the railway
terminus to the agency, distance OF
one hundred and fifty miles The men
who have been living off the Indians by
supplying all their needs for the past
quarter of century hate to see them
beginning to get ON a self-supporting
basis, for then there will be no mora
money to be made out of them. For
that reason every obstacle Is thrown in
the way and all sorts of misrepresenta-
ftions made by these parties, who dread
to see their occupation gone. During
all my experience in the west / have
never known an administration that has
dealt with the Indians In as clean and
conscientious way as the present. The
secretary Of the interior has, without
any partisan bias, done In every In
stance his best to promote the interests
OF the tribes and the government, and,
from my own observation, think that
he has thus far been very successful"
