WALLED AND COVERED SPRING.

cular wall of brick or stone be laid up in
cement, a pipe being inserted for the
outlet, as shown. \ closely-atting
cover completes the improvement. by
this plan a supply of water can be ac-
cumulatcd for stock by simply closing
the outlet until the tank becomes full.
Otherwise the stock might have to wait
n long time in turn for n chance 10

When We Go Fishinp.

When we go fishing In the brook,
Joey and Cicely and L,
A crooked pin s our only hook.
That catches 'emi Sometimes we tie
The string tigh 10 a willow limb
Just where the biggest minnows swim.
Then we lie down there in the shade,
And watch our hobs that tip and float;
And once a bridge OF rocks we made,
And built a castle and n moat
But, just as sure as we begin,
Why, joey goes and tumbles In.
Then all the frightened fish they hide
Beneath the rocks and in the pool,
There's not a mlnnow to be spiedl
The water settles Gear and cool
With bubbles tween the rocks, and foam:
then we must tab Joey home.
OF course he cries at mammals look.
She says: lis this the only fish
That you can catch in Silver brooke"
She knows, though, we'd get all she'd
wish,
With just our string and PAN and pin
If Joey wouldn't tumble I'M

Police Court Poetry.


st. Louis Republic: Twas a woman
stepped up to the bar when the clerk
called "twenty-four," the police court
crowd gazed eagerly on, as often it
gazed before. She was pale and hag-
gard looking, and her hair was streaked
with gray, but withal her appearance
betokened that she was handsome in
her day.
Judge Peabody turned to ask her plea
and she said: II am guilty, sir; I've
been drinking again, your honor, and
my case to your mercy refer"
Yes, the same old story" the squire
replied; drunk and disorderly again;
I'm sorry l can't let you go this time,
I'll have to fine you ten"
Then Dorothy futile walked away
and retired to her dingy cell; she had
told one part of her story n now had
another to tell. futile was not her
name, she said, and her family knew
her not: she has friends and relatives
living and oft to them she gives
thought. She once was happy and love-
~, as fair as an angel and pure; she was
born right here In st. Louis, and In
worldly things was secure. Every
childish whim was satisfied, her parents
were rich and kind, the pretty, blue
eyed daughters wants We're ever in
their mind.
But early In life she was crossed in
love; her sutton had died at sea-; he was
on the journey to claim his bride when
h yielded to deaths decree. The maid
that soon was to be a wife pined and
wasted away, naught in the world coul
appease her till a second cross came one
day.
Lightly she drank to drown her sor-
row, then bigger draughts she quaffed
the cup that cheers had changed her,
and inste3i of sobbing she laughed,
IA isfortunc overlook her father and the
or her mother claimed; within two
We RS from her lovers death the maid
n was mentally MANNED. She recov-
red her mind long after, and with II
