once before the present offense stole
Llchenstein's money. but was not re-
ported to the authorities on account Of
an agreement to refund the money

midnight and the noise Of his wooden
leg aroused Mrs. LiChcnst elm who went
INTO the shop in time to sec the man
making his escape through the window.
Mrs Lichenstein identified the bur.
Elar by the familiar wooden leg which
proved his misfortune ana had him ar
rested the next day. The jury returned
Within five minutes with a verdict and
asccrtained the punishment TO be five

Largest Of All Reservoirs.

Lieutenant Crittenden, the govern
ment engineer detailed to choose sites
for the proposed government reservoirs
in Colorado and Wyoming, has inspect
cd and selected the great natural basin
lying near Laramie, Wyo., as the Wyo'
ming site. This great basin lies in the
heart of the Rocky Mountains and Is
ton miles long by two miles wide. Its
maximum depth is $50 feet. and the
government engineers estimate that 1T
will hold 2O,COOO0O.O0O cubic feet of
water. The walls of the basin are per-
feet without n break. The bottom is of
rock, and is imnervious to water. The
Big and Little Laramie rivers will be-
tapped, and it will take between five
and six years to fill the basin.
Enough water can be stored to keep
the entire eastern part of Wyoming
and Western Nebraska supplied with
water during dry seasons. The water
will be collected in winter and used to
flood the Laramie and Platte rivers in
summer. Government engineers have
been ordered to survey the basin and
draw up plans for the feeding ditcllcs.-

Washing a Fine Art.

is not every one who understands keep

true of summer gowns, so easy to soil,
and SO expensive to laundry; therefore
every woman should learn the art of

work fill tub two-tlirds full of warm
water, dissolve cake of Ivory soap

garments through it; rinse first in clear
