The question of clear water is
being agitated here again. The
legal proposition of getting the
water from Cross Bayou, necessa-
rily, should be first disposed of.
However the fluid furnished lately
has been perfectly horrid. u

And speaking on that subject, it
seems to us that it would be cheap

bore artesian wells, than continue
the enormous expense of rep airs
from corrosion by the alkali-water
of Cross Bayou.

His little FelIer I"

Il happened to be down in nv cellar
the other morning when the ashman
came around to collect the ashes" said
gentleman who resides in Second ay-
enue, to Detroit Free Press represen-
tatlve. II was opening barrel of great
red apples at the time, and when the
big dust-covered and necessarily uu-
tidy man came back with the empty
ash barrel 1 picked up an apple and
held it out toward him. saving as I did
so:
Won't you have an apple"
Thank ye, sir; I've little feller at
home who'll be tickled to death to git
it. / most always find something or
other in the ash barrels to carry home
to i'm at night, but it amt often I git
anything equal to this big apple. 1 tell
ye the little feller's eyes will shine
when he sees it.
II don't know how many times that
day my thoughts were of that big,
rough-handed fellow, with that apple
put away SO carefully in his pocket for
that little feller'
When evening came thought Of the
little feller' who was on the lookout
for the big dust-covered father, with
the calloused and soiled hands, but
with the true heart and the kindly
word that made him king in the eyes
of that little feller.'
ut must have been a very poor and
humble home to which the man went
at the close of the weary day, but then
there was the little feller's' presence to
make beautiful even the bare walls and
floors and to bring the love light to his
fathers eyes and joy to his fathers
heart
''These little fellers' glorify and
bcautify many home in which power
ty abides But human affections can
sweetly and patiently endure toll and
rags and poverty when there is a little
feller' to meet and greet the father
when the long day is done"
