The Luck of Tommy Cruise.

when 1 first met Tommy Cruise" says
a contributor to an eastern periodical,
his only asset was In serious danger, for
his five underfed and underbred ponies
were about to be seized for overdue taxes.
l could not help Tommy with money, but
/ tried to with advice.
I" Strike old Sam Ashby for a couple of
hundred I suggested. Sam Ashby was
one of the rich men of Helena, Mont. at
that period and ran small savings bank.
Tommy tried old Sam Ashby.' All he
got, however, was some pretty free talk,
in which the banker assured Tommy
Cruise that he would rather throw paper
money into the house Of his santanic ma
jesty than to loan II to such a drunken,
shiftless fellow.
.''Cruse got his money. however, and
three weeks later he located the great
Drum Lummon gold mine. He knew that
he had big thing, but, somehow, he
could make nobody else believe in his
mine. Nevertheless, he worked at 1t for
years, living at times dogs life.
Once, while talking to a friend of mine,
he fell forward unconscious; he had not
eaten a mouthful of food for thirty-six
hours; and yet, with a logged persisten-
cy, he had worked on till he fell in his
tracks. AT last his day come. He open
ed up a big vein, and had a million dol

Hard times over he decided to pose as
solid citizen SO he opened a savings

Then came to the old prospector the hap
piest moment of his life, one that wiped
out all memory of starvation and priva-

would-be customer to the door, assured
that customer, in language too emphatic
and graphic for English ears, that he
would sooner throw paper money into the
house of his satanic majesty than loan 1t
to such a drunken, shiftless fellow as

Among all the stories on his grandfather,
William Henry Harrison. the one that
ex-President Harrison enjoys most is that
which relates to an incident at a draw
ing room held by Mrs Madison at the
white house in 1913, says the New York
Press. II was shortly after the battle
of the Thames, and Gen. Harrison, the
hero of Tippecanoe, was the most talked
of man in Washington. A lady of great
beauty and high connections said to the
President:
Gen. Harrison has received my COM
mands to meet me here this evening"
But that he canot do" said the Pres
ident, because he left Washington this
morning, starting from this very house,
with his horses and attendants, and must
now be some forty miles on his way to the
west"
"Still. laid my commands upon him."
said the lady. land he is to gallant a
man to disobey me-"
Somewhat nettled, Madison replied: 1--WE
shall see, madame, whose commands he
obeysr'
The words had hardly left his lips when
the door opened and in walked Gen. Harri-
son and his staff. Madison frowned and
turned away, while her ladyship laughed

The Wafer anentIon.

In another column OF this issue we pub
lish a communication on the water and
water meter question. We call attention
to It for one purpose only. and that is that
it contains evidence that there is no one
connected with the water works who
knows whether or not the water mains
leak. permitting a large part of the water
to be wasted before it reaches consumers.
For days and weeks there has been talk
in the papers and outside of them about
the alleged insufficient water supply, and
the proposition has been made that the
city incur an expense of about $4,000 to
connect the wells at the old water works
with the new water works. And during
all this discussion no effort has been made
to show that the wells at the new works
are not supplying all the water that is
needed, or that is likely to be needed for
many years to come.
The superintendent of the water works
has stated, II we are not mistaken, that
for a time he was pumping 100000 gallons
a day, and he subsequently stated that
the amount had been reduced to 100000
gallons a day, and that there was expec-
tation OF reducing it to 100000 gallons
without deprving anybody of as much
water as he needed. Some leaks, which
permitted of an enormous waste of wa
ter, must have been found and stopped,
in order to have made such very great
reduction in the amount of water deliver
ed through the mains.
But the superintendent of water works
Is quoted as saying that there cannot be
any leaks in the water pipes, because If
there were they would be discovered at
once, on account of the porous nature of
the soil. And yet the writer of the COM
municatlon which we publish this morn
ing declares that the water pipe near his
house was broken, permitting the waste of
a large amount of water daily, and that
this break in the pipe existed for two
months before it was discovered, although
it was known there was an interruption
Of some sort in the flow of water.
This incident demonstrates two things.
First, that an enormous amount of water
can be lost through broken and otherwise
defective pipes without the fact becoming
evident on the surface of the ground, and
second, that very large percentage of
the water can be lost on it's way to con-
sumers without the knowledge of the wa
ter commission, the superintendent Of the
water works or anybody else simply be-
cause nobody knows how to find out
whether water is lost by means of defec-
tive pipes.
Now, before we take into consideration
the question of spending $4,000 to get an
additional supply of water, wouldn't it be
better to find out whether our present
supply is not sufficient? There are meth
DDS for finding out whether or not large
percentage Of the water is lost on Its way
to consumers, and whether or not there
is great waste Of water by consumers.
The proper thing to do is to apply those
methods at once. When we have the re-
suit we shall know whether or not we
need an additional water supply.

A Powerful Admonition.

The Rev. DIR. W. G.. Starr, pastor of
the Broad Street Methodist Episcopal
church at Richmond, Va, is rejoicing over
a practical proof of the efficacy of his
admonitions, says the New York Times.
1t recently came to his knowledge that a
young man of his acquaintance had lost
in a game of cards ST. 900 with which he
had intended to pay a mortgage on his
aged mothers home. Sunday night DR..
Starr saw in his congregation the man who
won the money and at once proceeded,
without mentioning names, to narrate the
facts in the case and to urge restitution.
Next day the gambler met the clergyman
in the street and said to him: Il have
spent a sleepless night. l was on my way
to your house to tell you that the money
had been shipped to that old woman, and
she will get it tomorrow" Then, with
choked utterance, the gambler added
II have determined, by the help of God
never to throw another card as long as
live" DIR. Starr replied: Il am glad to
know it, and let me say this to you: If
your changed life makes bread scarce with
you for a time you can sit down at my
table as long as 1 have crust to share
with any one. The incident has been the
topic of much comment in Richmond.

Turkey Getting Restless.

Turkey is showing signs of dissatisfac-
ton with the inactivity of the powers in
the matter of the Cretan difficulty and has
notified them that unless there is a prompt
settlement of the difficulty she will take
matters into her own hands. In assum-
ing this attitude she may be in earnest
or she may be trying to get the powers
TO assume a more aggressive position.
From the beginning of the difficulty she
has been practically a spectator saying
that she would abide by the action of the
powers, but at last she seems to have be-
come tired of waiting for the powers to
effect a settlement. and is now manifest
ing disposition to show what she can DO
toward bringing Greece to terms
1t is not surprising that she should be-
come restless. The Greeks and Cretans
are doing pretty much as they please in
Crete. and the Greeks are hurrying on
on the frontier.
1t is probable that the inactivity of the
powers is due 20 a lack of harmony among
themselves. Some of them favor doing
one thing and some another. A blockade
of the coast of Greece is a part of their
programme, and it has been announced
that the blockade would be established
to-day, but there are grounds for think
ing that they do not want to unnecessarily
irritate Greece. If they blockade the
Greek coast the probabilities are that
Greece will Immediately declare war
against Turkey.
What the outcome OF a war between
Greece and Turkey would be no one can
predict with any degree of certainty. In
1856 the powers blockaded the ports of
Greece because Greece insisted upon an
nexing portions of Epirus and Macedonia
on the ground that Bulgaria had been
permitted to annex Eastern Roumelia, a
Turkish province. There was a great deal
of excitement in Greece and several hum
dred men were killed in slirmishes on
the frontier, but eventually Greece obeyed
the powers. recalled her army and re-
duced both her army and navy. VIII
practically a similar result follow II the
powers blockade the Greek ports and in
sist that Greece shall acquiesce in what
ever settlement OF the Cretan difficulty
AHeE may ihdhc4 10 tuat question no
satisfactory answer can be given. The
Greeks are very much excited. and seem
anxious for war with Turkey. There
are those who think It would be advisa BILE
to let Greece and Turkey test each others
fighting qualities and settle between them
selves some OF the matters at issue, but
the danger in that policy Is that II might
involve the whole OF Europe in war
The chances are that the powers will
retain control Of the situation and en-
deavor TO keep the Greeks and Turks
apart. by pursuing that course they may
bring about a practically peaceful settle
| ment Of the Cretan difficulty.

"stewing In Their own Gravy"
From the Baltimore sun Dem.).

The whole theory OF protection is false.
and in practice It is sure TO be condemned
by its results No nation ever became
prosperous by increasing the weight OF its
own taxation; nor by restricting It's trade
within its own borders; nor by discourage
ing its commerce with other nations. It
was quaint thing that Bismarck said of
the Parisians when he saw their city sur
rounded by the German armies in 1871.
They were, under those circumstances.
bound to trade entirely with themselves
and rely wholly upon their home market.
and Bismarcl sardonically observed:
"They are stowing in their own gravy"
The protectionist prescription for Amerl-
can prosperity Is precisely that. II pro-
poses TO stimulate and strengthen Amer
team industries by setting them to stow
in their own gravy. What will the SEN
ate do with Il?
