How BE Follows Up Dishonest Purchasers
ON the TnstaIlment Plan.

How he Follows Up Dishonest Purchasers
ON the Insta1lment Plan.
One Of the most important men in the
employ Of firm that makes speciality
of selling goods on the installment plan
is the tracer. His duty, as his name
signifies, is to find out the whereabouts
OF delinquent customers, who think to
get out of the trouble of future pay
ments by quietly moving away and neg
lecting to leave their new address.
Nothing could be more foolish than
such course, for this is a feature of
the business that the installment houses
have reduced to science. 1t is obvious
that in this city the great majority Of
those who purchase goods on weekly
payments live in flats. This makes it a
comparatively easy matter for the deal
ers to keep them under surveillance, for
one of the first things the collector does
is to see the janitor and inform him
which families in the house have bought
goods ON the installment plan. Tt pays
to fee the janitor for this service, for he
is in a position to know when any NOV
ing 40 oOoAt oc esaNO P11Co, duu ull6 liz
formation he gives the collector has
been the means of nipping in the bud
many we'll Laid scheme to get out Of
paying furniture bill.
Sometimes, of course, it happens that
dishonest family will move away in
such a hurry that the ianitor is unable
to inform the firm in time. In such an
event the tracer" is put on the CASE
He sets about bis work with the method
OF the trained detective. He is familiar
with the name and address of every fur
niture mover in the city, and his ac-
quaintance among the helpers is SO ex-
tensive that it is more than likely he
has personal friend among the men
who moved the family he is seeking.
With such advantages his task is not
nearly SO hard as the unjnitiated would
imagine, and there would be fewer at
tempts made to cheat" the installment
dealers if it were better known how lit
tie chance a person has to succeed.

When the State Fixed note, Prices.

Before, during and for time after the
Revolutionary war the courts of the COM
monwealth used to fix the prices of tavern
board and liquor, SO when the sojourning
stranger from afar struck Richmond he
could pretty nearly know what "horse feed
and breakfast COST There was also an
assize of bread as we'll as of drink. The
price of bread was regulated by the price
of wheat. A fourpenny white loaf, two
penny white loaf, fourpenny brick loaf
and a fourpenny brown loaf had each to
weigh SO much, according as they had 9th
er ingredients mixed with -four. In those
days Boston biscuit" costing 1 cent,
had to weigh six ounces and two drains
and so on. The connection between loaf
of bread and so pounds of wheat at so much
per bushel has grown beyond the grasp of
the modern mind. However, in the old
time in Virginia the custom of regulating
the price, or, rather, the weight, of a loaf
of bread by the price of the wheat of which
it was made was universal. So far as liq-
uor was concerned, the courts used to fix
not only the price Of a single drink, a
quart or a gallon of the stuff, but also "a
gorum of punch. ''-Richmond Dispatch

Is now furnished from artesian wells. Up
to short time ago it was supplied by q
costly pumping plant on the Missouri
River, which forced the river water to a
reservoir on the bluff above the town
The present supply costs almost nothing.
The town of Kimhall also has a complete
system of water works supplied by artes-
ian wells. In tie early days of the
towns existence the problem of an ade-
quate water supply was serious, and for a
time unsolvable. Various schemes were
tried without success, and finally it was
decided to try an artesian well. Kimball
is on the highest point of land between
the Missouri and jim rivers, and the ex-
pertinent was considered forlorn hore.
But the well was q success. and a COM
plete system of water mains and fire ny
drants was put in at a cost of less than
S6, 900, and the maintenance of the works
has been practically nothing. 1t was
shortly after this that Chamberlain aban-
doned its costly pumping station and
sunk artesian wells with equal success.
The success of these wells opened up
LOW 6fh III buG s0lHl-dT1u country. Inc
soil of the county is very rich, and only
running streams were needed to make it
fertile agricultural region. The con-
struotion of wells in every township was
begun under a special law by which the
township and county joined in the cost.
Twenty such wells have been sunk in as
many townships, and with mos CRAFTY
ing results.
During the past two years individual
farmers have sunk wells with equal sue
cess, and now wells are being constructed
in every part of the county. More than
10000 acres will be irrigated this year by
plants now under construction, Al2eady
the county has 800 miles of running
streams in irrigation bitches and numer-
GUS lakes, and the whole face of the coun-
try has been changed.
The interesting feature of the matter is
that all the wells are of uniform pressure
and flow, with the exception of two big
gushers. The average we'll throws an
eight inch column of water three feet
above the opening Of the pipe. Brule
county seems to be located over the cen
tire of the great artesian sbasin of South
Dakota, and the results already attained
promise some very interesting develop
ments in that region.

BRULEs ARTEsEAN WELLS.
Change Wrought By Irrigation In A

An Artesian Wei That Runs Electric
Plant and Lights Cily-Results of the
Artesian Well Era Only just Begun.
Brule county, South Dakota, is be-
coming one of the wonder regions of the
West because of the development of re-
markable artesian well system and the
application of the power derived from the
unusual pressure and regularity of flow
of water from these wells, The county
contains two OF the grea test artesian
wells in the world, and one Of them, at
Chamberlain, the county seat operates
the only electrical light and power plant

continent The plant furnishes light TO L
the whole city, for both public and pri-
waite purposes, and more than half the
power of the we'll is running to waste be-
cause so far no use has been found for it.
e Within the last few years three hundred
miles Of running streams have heen added
to the water supply of the county By the
flow derived from artesian wells, and the
artesian well era has practically only
lust begun. In the neighborhood of sew
eral towns artificial lakes have boon
formed by the use of the artesian we'll
water. and on these lakes there are boat
ing in the summe4 and skating in the
winter, and they furnish an abundance
Of les for summer use. Before the era of
artesian wells Brule county was semi
arid region. Already great agricultural
benefits have been derived from use of the

THE BIG WELL AT CHAMBERLAIN.

water for irrigating purposes, and num-
Der of extensive irrigating works are now
under construction.
In no other part OF the West, or, it is
said, In the world, has an artesian well
basin been found that furnishes wat or of
such uniform pressure and great volume
as in Brule county. Wells have been
sunk in every part Of the county, of
depth averaging 1000 feet, which yield
uniform flow of water at the surface of
about 1000 gallons minute. An idea of
the value Of this supply of water for irri-
cation purposes is had from the fact that
a flow Of 800 gallons of water minute
will cover a full section of land, GAO
acres, with one inch Of water every fif-
teen days. Each well, it has been found,
Will force a steady stream of water
through fifteen miles of irrigating ditch
es, the bitches being about the site of
S nall creek. The water is pure as spring
water, and of high temperature, vary
ing between seventy and eighty-fve de-
greas.
The well at Chamberlain is the largest
in the county. 1t is CTS feet deep and
inches in diameter, and the flow Of water
is 4,450 gallons minut at a pressure
of 110 pounds to the square inch, afford
ing energy equal to 100 horse power con-
startiy exerted. The water spouts up
from the mouth Of the well in solid
eight inch column to height of - 1-2
feet above the opening. Confined by a
nozzle 2 Ia inches in diameter, the water
shoots up in solid column to a h5ight
of 1862 feet. After furnishing power for
the electric light plant the water runs
away in considerable creek through the
city, and empties into the Missouri river.
for running the electric plant the water
! is reduced to a stream about three inches
IN diameter, which is thrown against tho
buckets of a water whesl. The water
wheel is mounted on shaft carrying a
big driving wheel, which is belted to the
dynamo. At present the plant furnishes
900 lights, but this is far below the
possibilities of the big we'll, and another
dynamo is now being installed. The
well will be used to it's limit for light
and power, and plans are making for
sinking several otherawells in the vicinity
sure of water. Chamberlain hopes and ex-
poets to become an important manufac-
turing community by help OF the power
from its artesian wells.

Mistress Pussy. who has been making
such an attractive show of herself at

not quite all that fancy paints her under

they are laying serious happenings at her
door,
In England, for example, where every
possible means to ferret out causes of
seemingly inexplicable diseases is taken,
heavy suspicion has fallen on the sleek
creature that purrs at the hearthstone.
She is found to be subject to a distemper
whose symptoms are very similar to diph-
liberia, and, in localities where ca is are
so afflicted, an epidemic Of that terrible
disease has followed among children.
No ether causes could be found for the
infection except that in each case a cat
in the house had first showed peculiar
symptoms. These were cancellation,
cougth, difficulty in swallowing, and dis
charge from the nose. Whenever cat
died there was sure to be found soon after
enc or more cases of diphtheria DIR.
Newholm of London, whose investigat-
ing efforts have been very thorough, con-
siders that ample evidence Of pussy S
malevolent influence has been got and
thinks she should be very carefully
watched. In several cases of an increas-
ing epidemic, warning was given and
cats destroyed, with result to arrest at
once the spread of the disease.
1t is unwise. according further to Dr.
Newholm, to allow children to fonlle
these pets after they have roamed about
outside and mingled with other cats.
Even if our especial pussy is not sick she
can easily bring home germs in her fur
