George A. Ward, who died some

that his false teeth, which he had
worn for number of years. should go
TO the Congregational church. These

mind. he resolved that the gold which
Ind ornamentcd his molnrs should not
be buried deep In the earth. but should
be brought into use. The set Of teeth

DIG DOWN DEEP.
Prairie Dogs Have Their Holes That Go

"The most interesting thing have

Geer Of Lamont, Colorado, at the Eb.

well. Did you ever see one? 1t isn't
often that u chance occurs to explore
the homes ana haun.s of these eXpedi-
tious little Inhabitants of the plains. A
few miles from my town large force
of men has been ut work this summer
making Il deep cut for a short railroad
up into the mines. y friend of mine Is
In charge of the job, and went out n
week ago to see him and the work that
had been done. The first thing that at
trncted my attention when I got there
was the fact that the cut was being
made through an old alfalfa field and
the roots fringed the sides of the cut
and hung down fifteen 10 eighteen feet.
| Up at the surface of the ground were
the stubbed green plants, and reach
| ing down deep into the earth We're the
fat, bus!ness-lllic roots, getting their

forage for subsistence.
But the most remarkable thing was
the prairie dog wells that had been dug
into. The cut went through Il dog vii

has always been II discussion about
where the prairie dog gets his drink.
Some say he goes etcrnally dry and
does not know what it is to have an ele-
/ giant thirst on him. Usually their towns
are miles from any stream and In an
arid country where there Is no surface
water at any time sufficient for the
needs of an animal requiring drink.
The overland travellers back in the days
of pio...ering used to find the dog
towns out on the prairie scores Of miles
from the streams. There was no
dew. the air was dry as Il bone. the
buffalo grass would be parched brown
and there would be absolutely nothing
to qucnch thirst.
II remember discussion begun thir-
~ years ago In the American Naturalist
by DR.. Sternberg, now surgeon gen.
eral, on the subject. and he argued in
favor Of the well theory. But there,
near Lamont. is ocular proof of the
well theory. The nest holes Of the dogs
were five or six feet deep. but four or
five holes went straight down rs deep
as the excavation had been made, and
evidently on into the water-carrylns
sand beneath. These holes appeared to
be used by the whole colony commonly,
and were little larger than the holes
used for their homes"

This is the alluring sign on the out

women Of the east side whose blissful

vide themselves with the bridal fnery
which is the desire of every feminine
heart, irrespective of outward rank or

Doubtless there may be just as much
sentiment and sacredness in a mar
riage ceremony wherein the bride
! wears dull-colored gown that has
seen service under other circumstances
as II she wore shimmering folds Of
satin. but the satin gown will be a
coveted object none the less. even
when known to be unattainable. The
proprietor of the shop in Market street
does not pose as philanthropist. but
she supplies demand not otherwise
provided for. Shrewdly guessing that
satin only would be far enough be-
yond the reach OF the average east side
bride to tempt her to hire a dress for
wedding. she keeps no other kind on

rious grades and prices and the gowns
vary in elegance Of style. You want

displays 1t as the chef-doeuvre OF her

who may guess that II is only tenn
