A Big Dam for the Hatchery.

Government surveyors are here this
week making plans for big dam above
the falls at the Hatchery and when the
dam is completed it will enclose a pond
of about rs acres, or almost as large as
Stiles pond. The government has bought
the entire Livingston farm of its present
owner, Mr.. Weeks, and a good portion
of that property will be submerged under
the present plan. A dam $50 feet long
and II feet high will be built next spring,
just above the falls, and the farmhouse
will probably be utilized for a residence
for fish culturists. OF course the high
way to North Danville will have to be
changed and carried up on higher land
towards the railroad track, though the
exact location of the road is vet to be
determined. The new pond will be used
for rearing fish, and by taking the water
for the Hatchery buildings from the
bottom OF the new dam a uniform tenn.
perature will be secured. In fact, this
has been a serious drawback to successful
work at the Hatchery from the start,
for in the summer months the water Of
the river has been altogether too warm.
The Improvements contemplated call
Tor the expenditure OF thousands of dol
lars, and will not be completed until the
fall of 1901

Organ Improvements.

Extensive improvements are being
made on the South church organ and
about $1,000 will be expended to make
it thoroughly up-to'date instrument.
The improvements include new action,
more stops and new organ swells.
Various entertainments have been held
in the past for the organ fund and the
balance is being raised this week by pri-
vate subscription. A generous donation
OF $50 was sent in last week by Ansel W.
Hawkins, who has been for sometime
confined to the house by sickness, but
whose interest in the welfare of the
church has never abated

PROBABLE NATIONAL TICKETS.
Walter Wellman has the following
in the Chicago Times-Herald from
Washington regarding the %probabili-
ties for the personnel of the national
presidential tickets this year:
Mckinley and Roosevelt versus
Bryan and Dewey. This is the way
the best polltlcians in the national
capital size up the situation in the
two great parties. OF the first part
of this predicted combination they
now feel quite sure, but they admit
there is a little doubt as to the dem
ocratic end of it. ri"
Today almost everyone in Washing
ton was saying the nomination of
Governor Roosevelt for vice president
was simplyinevitable. This talk was
heard as much in administration as in
senatorial circles. A gentleman who
saw the president today. said Mi. Nc
Kinley is convinced Governor Roose-
welt is to be his running mate. Sen
ator Lodge, MI. Roosevelt's closest
friend, who has just returned from
New York, is of the same opinion.
Indeed, the matter is apparently re-
garded as settled by most Of the poll
ticians here.
There is general recognition of the
fact that the republican party wants
to draft the young governor of the
Empire state. With the single eXcep-
ton of Senator Allison, his is inc only
name brought forward in the vice
presidential discussion that has
aroused any enthusiasm. This does
not mean that Secretary Long, Post
master General Smith and other re
publicans are unpopular, but that the
masses want a war hero on the ticket,
a man who can make a vigorous cam
paign. I b /
So far as Governor. Roosevelt him
sell. IS concerned, ne stands just Where
he has always stood--a candidate; for
reelection as governor OF New York
and unW1lllng TO run for vice presl-
dent. But there can be no doubt
that Senator Platt mas correctly sized
up the situation IN MS statement that
II the party unanimously calls him
Governor Roosevelt will not decline.
AS to the nomination OF Admiral
Dewey as a runnlng mate Tor Bryan,
that IS more and Q talked about.

KIND FAIRY, LIT ME- GO.

And spread before my view,

4And said to me: Now you
May go and live Where'er you WILL

But merely say: ooh, take me where
The wind don't always bloW!" s
kind fairy, just some quiet place
Where no wind ever blows,
Where | may walk out with my face
And not get my red nose
Filled up with sand and cobble stones,
Where from my-eyes there flow
No wind swept tears-Some country,
where &
The wind don't always blow!
ooh, fairy. fairy, take me where
The zephyrs are all gone,
Where l may wear my wind tossed
And need not sticki it on
With glue; where skirts do not need
To keep them hanging low,
And all the teeth in my tired head I;
Don't rattle-let me go!
"Oh, fairy, come away with me
And pilot me to that
Delightful lana where / may live
And never chase my hat.
Where I may open wide my mouth
Ii / should want to shout,
And not have breeze from north or
~. south il @&2
Blow me half inside out.
Kind fairy, take me to The land
OF zephyrless delight, + f:g, +
Where blows not every day the sand
Nor blows it back at night,
Where | may plant my garden seeds
And know that they will stay
And grow up where | planted them
Not twenty miles away. .
Where I may lie in peace to sleep
Beneath some leafys trees
And not be blown mile or two y~ y;
By some pert, frisky breeze,
Where | may paint my house and not
Next day find the paint gone
Because i foolishly forgot 80.
To nail the fresh paint on.
Oh, fairy, l am tattered, torn,
Tired, ragged. ~windswept, red,
Rough, chapped, and blistered, weary,

And SO if you would save me now,
I pray thee let me go, s T.
And sew myself together, where
The wind don't always blow!"
