HIS MISTAKE.
An American Girl Gives an English-
man a Little Light on
Ladies'.

A Louisville girl, who was recently in
Germany, met a'young English officer who
was in the same city, and, III fact, in the
same house with her for two months, study
ing German for his promotion Like most
Europeans he had the usual absurd ideas
about the girls of this country, who, in the
minds of the untravelet foreigner, are rather
hoyden creatures who smoke and have other
masculine traits.
After dinner one day. in the early ac-
quaintance of the couple. the officer offered
the Louisville girl cigarette and, upon her
refusing il, he said: ~
why, Il thought all the girls in the
United States smoked"
80 we do replied the girl ''but never
cigarettes; only pipes. III you will get that
pipe off the mantelpiece in the next room l
shall be charmed to smoke with you
Not suspectng the joke she was playing
con him, the officer brought the pipe and
filled it, and it was not until he.saw the wry
faces his friend made in attempting to carry
out the joke that he appreciated the situa.
ition. He was continually telling the Ameri'
can in tone of surprise that she was just
like the grlsaat home in England, and her
.rejoinder was:

WHAT A FORMER AMERICAN
SAYS.

More Than Doubled Their

The following letter written by Mr..
John Cummings of Wetaskiwin, AL

only one of hundred similar cases,
and what was done by Mr.. Cummings
can more easily be done to-day by any
good, sober and industrious farmer who
chooses to make his home in the Do

we could put everything inside them

and worked hard getting up the stable
and got through clubbing on the 1st
December, but to our surprise we had
no use for the stables only for the milk
cow and two span Of horses. The bal
ance of the horses lived on the prai-

selves. The doors of two stables were
left open for them TO go into in cold

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 29.-The bill
to prevent the pollution OF the Potomac
River above the dam at Cumberland was
killed in the House yesterday by vote of
81 to "a.
The bill was aimed against the West
Virginia Paper and Pulp Mill Company,
and Mr.. Graeff. its author, fought vigor-
Ously for its passage. He contended that
the bill was demanded by the people Of
the city of Cumberland for the publication
of their drinking water.
The other members of the Allegany and
Garrett county delegations were opposed
to the bill. From the introduction of this
bill it has engenaered more bitterness than
any other measure that has come before
the house The debate was warm one,
and some unexpected charges were made
against those opposing the bill.
Mr.. Wilson, of Garrett, spoke at length
in opposition to it. He was followed by
Mr.. Robinson. of Baltimore city. who also
protested against its passage. The latter
asserted that some of the people of Cum
berland polluted the river with their own
sewage above the dam from which their
water supply is taken and that the entire
sewage of Cumberland was permitted to
flow down the Potomac to Washington.
where the water was used for domestic
purposes by residents of the National Cap
ital.
Mr.. Long of Washington, made an ear
nest plea for the passage of the bill. He
was not a resident of Cumberland, he said,
and did not get his water supply from the
Potomac. That it was an important meas
uhe he left TO the consciences OF the men,
bers. Here are 10 900 persons who are
compelled to use water contaminated in
every conceivable manner by those who
live farther up stream. They appeal 10
this Legislature for relief.
The fact that four members of the Allie
gany delegation are opposed to the meas
ure while only one faVOrs it, does not in
dcate to me the wishes Of the Cumberland
people The four members who oppose the
measure are not residents of Cumberland
and are not. therefore. compelled to use the
contaminated water
He asserted that he knew some OF the
people who had come here from Allegany
in opposition to the bill, and that some OF
the members of the House dared not lift
up their voices in favor OF the measure was
explained by the fact that they we're con-
trOlled by corporations and individuals who
did not wish the bill passed.
Several members took exceptions TO the
latter statement and Speaker Wilkinson
remarked that the charge was little too
broad to be made on the floor of the House.
Mr.. Long-epologiEed for his words and
concluded his remarks by daring the mem
bers of either the majority or minority par
ty TO go on record against the bill.
The previous question was demanded and
the bill was defeated

Detweiler asked the court for mercy. say
ing that Washington shot after Bell had

stated that he had number of letters
from reputable business men in Baltimore,
testifying 10 Washington's good character.
Judge Simonton said he was perfectly
satisfied with the verdict of the jury and
that Washington's crime approached daE-
gerously near murder in the first degree.
Washington could have retreated when the
crowd attacked him but he preferred TO
fight The prisoners explanation In re-
gard TO going hime TO change his shirt
when he really went there to get his re-
