PURIFY THE WATER.
Typhoid is a Heavier Tax Than
Filter Beds.

Written for the Peasantville Press.
Referring to quantity Of water sup
piled to various cities, Engineer Allen
Hazen, expert in charge Of the Law
hence experiment station, says in his re-
cent publication on Filtration and
Filter Beds" that sin the United States
an abundant supply Of some kind Of
liquid has too often been the objective
point, and the efforts have been most
successful, the American works being
entirely unrivaled in the volumes Of
their supply. Cold calculation demon
etrates beyond cavil that it is greater
tax on the pocket-man to 60 on III the
old way and kill off so, 900 people ev-
cry year by typhoid fever alone-than
to build filter beds. We have been so &C.
customed to look upon water supply
as a free gift that expense beyond its
first cost, incident to building reservoirs,
digging wells, laying pipe lines and the
various water connections with inhab-
tied districts, gives the idea Of spending
moro money for its publication as su-
perhuous matter, the invention Of money
getting engineers, corporations and po-
litical parties. The terrible penalty
which Hamburg paid Of over 5000
deaths in a month during the cholera
epidemic Of 1892 for giving her inhabit-
ants river water polluted by sewage
should have been lesson to the whole
world.
Germany prohibits the use Of until
tered surface water. There are very few
countries but use some means Of filtra-
tion, though the supply is from bodies

A GREAT WOLF DOG.

A Star" reporter was talking to an
old hunter who had lived many years IN
the West and other regions where hunt
ing was part of a mans daily living,
and the conversation turned on dogs,
after it had run to considerable length
in other directions.
Il remember" said the old man with
a little, low, soft, reminiscent smoker,
"of a wolf dog that my boy Jim got OIL
of a teller that you might call a tramp,
these times. jim had an idea he know
ed everything about dogs that was to
be knowed. and when this tramp feller
come along with a wiry, mean looking
dog and wanter to trade him fer pint
of whiskey, Jim lowed he was pow
erful wolf dog, and the tramp teller
said thar wasn't a better one IN the
country. fer he was bred fer wolves per-
tikler. so jim ups and swaps a pint OF
liquor fer the dog, and the tramp felleI
gifts along his journey, and Jim goes to
slickin' the dog up and gettin' him
ready fer q wolf that he knowed was
chasin' his hogs up in the mountain.
"One mornin' bright and early jim
set out with the dog to give the wolf a
run. and about two hours afterwards
the dog had the wolf a-goin lickety
split. The wolf tuck round the pint oil
the hill with the dog after him ana jim,
lowed he could cut across the top ana
git in ahead of 'em In good time 10 see
the dog chaw up the wolf, fer he prlu-
ed himself on that dog and had Deen
tellin' the whole neighborhoou "AdC
fine dog he had picked up.
Course Jim knowed dogs and nc
knowed hiatt dog of his'n would chaW
the wolf up in no time, and he Wen
over the hill chucklin'. When he go
IN where he thought the dog and VOL
ought to pass. there wasn't sign anc
lin sot down to wait. 1t wasn't Ions
IN a teller came along and jim halleC
him.
