would ask the Board for authority to purchase
one.
One year ago called the attention of the Board
that 1t would be advisable TO exchange one OF
present fire pumps for new one of larger capa-
city which would give us better service. AS IL
now Is, it requires both pumps to supply the De
is therefore impossible TO take either OF them
apart for repairs. Either pump Is liable TO
breakage and in that case fire protection would
be crippled badly. am still OF the opinion that
one larger pump should be procured.
1t was hoped that the water supply question,
which has caused us so much worry and annoy
ance and which was submitted to the people at
our spring election, would result iu securing au'
thority to procure the additional supply as recon-
mended by the board, and that we would Dc en-
abled to give the people an abundance OF water;
but 1t is again before us In all Its nakedness We
are fearful that within the next one hundred
days the reservoir will, as usual, be empty and
for the balance of the season no water can be
used for lawns, gardens and streets.
l am of the opinion that the council should be
asked to provide other means than the water
works to sprinkle the streets the coming season.
An elevated tank erected at Main street bridge
with pump to be run with steam or electric
power would fill 1t, and spriDkling wagons from
all over the city could fill at that place. 1t will
certainly be needed and we may by itS help De

MANY more the present year and as IL was neces
Barry to run the works for weeks last season with
out water and practically without pressure, 1t
will require no great amount of figures to deter
mine the result for the season now upon us.
Thirty nine services were metered during the
year Just passed. and from the present indica-
lions more will be placed this year Some cities
have rule not to issue any permits for new ser

A GIFT TO GIVE.

1t is often difficult to decide what to
get your friends for holiday gifts.
Here is suggestion:
"Good morning, Jennie, | have
brought you nice present" said Ger

The pale, weary looking girl, who
was slowly recovering from severe ill
ness, opened the bundle and held up a
large bottle Of liar, rich medicine.
"Hood's Sarsaparilla! she exclaim-

day and wished had bottle"
On New Years Day Jennie was able
to be out on the street, and her friends

A Subaltern in America.

The following narrative gives graphic
description of the march of the British
army through this section of Maryland in
the summer of 1914. 1t is reprint of a
book, now exceedingly rare, which was
written and published early in the century

officer in the invading army, but after
wards studied for the ministry and became
the Chaplain General of the British forces.
The publication was begun in our issue of
August 3rd. Back numbers can be Sc

An earl Y hour on the morning of

Sir Edward Packenham and General
Gibbs unexpectedly made their appear

measure was to alter, in great de-
gree. the distribution of the forces
which General keane had made The
advance was dissolved; and the entire
army was divided into two brigadcs or
columns. This arrangement separated
us from the light troops, with whom
we had SO long acted; and we found
ourselves appointed to compose part
of the right column, whose line of oper-
ations lay beside the wood
During the 25tl and Goth, nothing
of Importance occurred, which has not
been detailed with sufficient accuracy
elsewhere. Ofthe continual approaches
and incursions of the cncmy's moantcd

the consequent retreat of the ships
which had anchored near her, you can
not be ignorant. need not, therefore,

early hour on the morning of that day,
the troops being ordered under arms,
dispositions were made for an immctli-

company formed part of detached

movement of the column; and extended
