AT the Water Works.

The big new pump at the City Water
Works was put to work Monday after
noon about o'clock, and it seems to
handle its herculean task very easily.
1t is required to be stopped occasional
ly to tighten a nut here and there till
the different parts become well set in
their places.
The capacity of this big machine is
three million gallons daily, and as our
consumption of water Is now about
one million gallons day, it will fur
nish our needs with ease.
superintendent Torner asks that
the consumers use as little water as
possible until the big pump gets well

given to me for a Christmas pres

L was to receive three hundred

The present and bequest was
made by an eccentric friend of
mine fifteen years ago. Yesterday

me he would like to see me, and I
was just on my way to see him
when this catastrophe overlook
me. How can I ever face him

a hat my father used to wear, the
exact counterpart of that, and if
you will come around the corner
to my house I will gladly give it
to you and your friend will never

Written for The Prison Mirror.

With slow, firm tread, a
shabby gentle looking man of
between sixty and seventy years
of age, strobe from the curb to the
edge of a group of people in the
middle Of the street, waiting for
an electric car to come along. He
was a tall, austere looking gentle
man of the old school, with lam
tern jaws and Ratchet face. He
wore long, square-cut, double
breasted clerical coat of sober
black that was shining and thread
bare, telling Of long use. On his
head was perched an old silk-tile
that resembled an old smoke stack
that had been battered and abused
by the elements for many years,
but still standing erect and still
conscious that it was the outlet for
great deal of gas and heated
wind.
An electric car soon came along
and the ancient gentleman waited
patiently until every one had
boarded the car, and then with his
right hand behind him and the
left placed pompously in the
breast Of his coat, he very deliber-
ately and solemnly planted his left
foot upon the car-step and was
just raising his right, when the
car suddenly started ahead, send
ing this obsolete relic of pompos-
ity investigating the Shiny depths
of a mud-puddle, conveniently or
inconveniently collected alongside

ment toppled from his head and
fell under him and it was excruci-
ating to hear the exclamation of
"my God!" that burst from him as
he drove the toggle-joint of his
ripper clear through the crown of
it.
Ordinarily such a sight would
cause the pedestrians of a thor
ougbfare to explode with loud
cachination, but there was some
thing pathetic in the crestfallen
way with which he got to his feet
and then stood fondling his
damaged sky-scraper. that it caused

theater, and the occasion is a
fitting one for telling the follow
ing absolutely true story Of his
wonderful readiness at rehearsals
and his total absence of conceit in
his dealings with those who have
to interpret his scholarly music.
During the time when one of
his most successful works was
being prepared at the Savoy he
handed George Grossmith two
separate pieces of music, saying
"Here, Grossmith, are two distinct
tunes set to one Of the songs in
your part; 1 could not satisfy my
sself with the air [ first wrote, so I
sat down and wrote another sing
the one you like BEST
A day or two afterward the COM
poser and actor met again, and Sir
Arthur asked: "Well, which of
those two airs did you like?''
Rather embarrassed, but in the
business-like way he displays on
occasion, Mr.. Grossmith replied:
"Candidly speaking, L don't much
like either
Neither do r. was Sir Arthur's
instant reply: and then he added,
"Come to me in a quarter Of an
hour, and I'll satisfy both you and
myself
And, sure enough, within the
time stated, he handed over to
Mr.. Grossmith the clever song in

To the Editor:
Your answer to No. 4757, in the
Mail Box, in regard to the cigars
given out by the Shoe Co., is a
trife misleading. If [ am correct
ly informed the objection to the
state distributing the cigars given
by the Shoe Co., originated with
the inmates working for the COM
pany. It is the intention Of the
Shoe Co.. to give each man three
cigars, irrespective of grade; but
heretofore when they we're given
out by the state some men gotone,
some two, some three, while some
got 'steen. Naturally tits was
not agreeable to the men or the

will continue the practise.
