TWO WATERS FROM ONE WELL
A Freak of Nature That Is Enjoyed by the People of Lyons,
 Mississippi.

A well that furnishes two separate and distinct kinds of drinking water from the one opening is a freak of nature which the town of Lyons, Miss, a few miles south of Memphis, is now enjoying, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. One stream is said by experts to flow from an underground current having it's source in Lake Michigan, while the other is identified by taste. odor and chemical analysis with the waters of Waukes esha springs. The well goes to depth of 975 feet, and was sunk by Albert Goldsberry, of Memphis. The two streams emerge from pipes of diff ferent lengths, the one which taps the Lake Michigan stratum having the greater depth. Lyons is situated in part of the country where good drink ing water in all seasons is difficult to obtain, and recently when Memphis parties proposed to sink an artesian we'll the suggestion was secuted by the residents of the town. The discoverf of the two streams, one pure, clear, soft freestone, and the other strong, sweet, chalYbeate iron water, is a source of wonder to the natives. Both streams gush above the surface, the freestone to a height of 35 feet and the chalybeate 21 feet

But as he was determined to have saddle and buggy animal of some kind. he started to experiment with a big brindle steer. Within a month he had "Pacing Dicl5'' broken so that he drove splendidly in harness, and even went well under saddle. Dick" is guided with bit, exactly as is horse, and Mir. Bodenburg declares that he can cover long stretch of country road quite as rapidly as the average farm horse. In addition he has quail
 ties which make him an almost ideal animal for family use. Thus, trac- ton engine CT a threshing machine, which would frighten an ordinary horse into spasms, has no effect at all -on Dick" who is quite ready to poke his inquisitive nose into the machin- cry. He has learned to trot and to pace, and, though the rack and single foot are as yet beyond him, Mir. Boden- burg does not think it would be hard to teach him any desired gait. When society women get tired ofthe new fad of driving mules MT. Bodenburg inc aends to suggest steers as novelty.

 "Come, come away" he reiterated, ssthe guests are waiting; it is our we'd ding day.
 Guess again." said Mary, as Jo- seph, finally grasping the situation, letfgo his assumed gayety and hoarse- ly whispered: s4r
 '.But you forget. It is too late. ] am out $11.5o already for flowers and the marriage license. The wedding feast is spread. The preacher is hold ing the watch on us. The guests have already had many jokes at my expense. I shall be ruined"
 But Mary Pacak was obdurate. She polished the glasses and wiped the dishes while Joseph paced the kitchen floor and wept manly tears of bitter disappointment.

 MT. Matera pleaded and threatened, but Mary locked up the cupboard and said no more.(
 Then Joseph and his best friend, Carl Flip, master of the house where the bridegroom lives, went back to the wedding assemblage and proclaimed the startling news. The preacher closed his watch and went away. The tink1e in the dining-room ceased. The guests fingered till Joseph put on his working clothes and departed. Then they went away, wondering.
 But rage and injured pride stormed within the breast of Joseph. He hied him away to Justice Sabath's court and filed suit for $11.50 against Mary Pacak The sum does not cover his losses, to say nothing of his bruised heart. He had spent large and hard earned sums for his wedding suit. His presents to Mary, jewelry and apparel, cost him at least months salary. But Joseph is generous. He does not wear flowers, and the marriage license is now waste paper. Therefore, he ar gues, Mary Pacak should pay for the waste.
 Joseph Matera is a butcher employed at the stock yards by Swift & Go. He wooed Mary across the area that sep arates his home from hers. It is more than a month since she promised to be his wife In the interim he has ex- pended time and money to make her happy and his. An hour after he had filed suit against her he was sorry.
 'Oh, if she'd only change her mind, 7 he said, ..how happy I would be. The flowers are yet fresh and the license is good for another chance. will for give and forget"
 But Miss Pacak remains deaf to his grief. She hasn't heard about the dam age suit yet.

AUTOS AND HONEYMOONS.
French People Are Now Considering Motor Equipment for Wed-
 ding Journeys.

Sleeping cars on railways have been brought to great pitch of perfec- tion, and it now appears that inventors are turning their attention to auto mobiles@ which are to be so adapted that they may be used by night as we'll as day. The idea is that by little arrangement of the fra ming and mech may be made of an automobile, and there are those who think that the new form will be much in demand, especially for folk who like novel honeymoons, says the Paris Messen- ger. ];
 One would have thought that the rattle and the throb and the smell which one tolerates by day would be gladly dispensed with by night, but men with the motor mania say: "No. We are only at the beginning yet. We are going to sleep in them, eat in them, drink in them--in fact, practically live in them"
 As a multum in parvo of living things, Noah's ark will be outdis- tanced by these enthusiasts of the modern means of locomotion. The turn of the railways is even predicted by some people, and as for horses, well! the Society for Prevention of Cruelty is trembling, for their task is nearly done; there won't be any horses to practice the refinements of cruelty upon.

OAKVILLE HAPPENINGS.
OBJECTION TO HALF HOUR DIN
 NER RULE AT FACTORY.

Oakville Pin Company Employes Given
 Only Half Hour for Dinner-An Ac-
 commodation to Waterbury People
 A Man Helped Himself to Calf
 All Halloween.
 The half hour dinner rule at the pin factory is objectionable to many people in the village and is becoming more so. Those who live near the factory are obliged, in the thirty minutes time, 10 slide home, bolt down their food hke piece of machinery and run Dack OH the return trip. There are others Wno cannot get home, eat, and return Ill this small allotment of time, hence, they as a rule eat cold dinner. There are others who care little for their digestion and have hot dinners sent to them. Where there are two or three in the same family at work i'll the shop it causes great deal or ln- convenience to those at home.
 The half hour dinner schedule Is not right. neither is it for the good of the village. Some may favor it, but the majority find it unpleasant. It IS said that this schedule was introduced to accommodate Waterbury people who worked here, so that they could return on the regular 5:31 down tram and not wait until the regular working mans accommodation train returns from Watertown after $ o'clock. Now that the trolleys run every fifteen mln- utes there is no necessity to provide against any unnecessary waiting. Oaks vile people should have a good, full hour for dinner as nature intended man to masticate his food, not bolt it down in junks and then run.

Marriage Feast Is Declared On and Recreant Lnss Is Sued for $11.5O Damages-Fiance's Pleas
 in Vnin

The wedding guests in glad array were assembled. The preacher gowned and stoled, was ready, book in hand The candles were lighted and 8 mountain of flowers spilled perfume on the air. In the dining-room the tinl1le of glass and the jangle of sil- yer proclaimed the coming nuptial feast.
 At the appointed hour, says the Chi cago Record Herald, the groom-to-be, Joseph Matera, appeared in the raj ment of bridegroom. Gloved, groomed and gallant, he stepped into the parlor of 166 West Nineteenth street, Chicago, and with radiant eyes sought for Mary Pacak, the bride elect. She was not among those pres ent. He waited, but the clock struck two, and she came not. The preach er looked morose and the guests fd- geted. Joseph exchanged gay bad image with his friends, but his face gave forth the varied colors that led to the discovery of his biblical name sake The clock struck the third hour, but the bride did not come forth.
 'Aha," said Joseph, "I am wise to the situation. Mary is abashed. She lives next door, and I will fetch her presently"
 He hastened to the adjoining house. while the parson gazed at his watch. But the groom that was to have been found the bride that he intended to have been calmly washing dishes in the kitchen.
 Haste to the wedding" said Jo- seph, overlooking the fact that she was clad in a blue dimity wrapper with an apron about her comely form.
 But Mary sadly walloped soup tureen with the dish rag, and with tear-wet eyes and faltering lips mur- mured:

BUNKER HILL NOTES.

A serious and almost fatal accident occurred yesterday to one of the young members of party of hunters starting out from here in quest of partridge and quail. The victim of the accident was Howard Neal, vice president of the Pequot club, and a resident of Cooke street, Waterbury. MT Neal. in company with William Hatt and Henry Black, both well known young men of Bunker Hill, started out through the lots with their guns in the direction of the Poverty street dis trict which is on the way to Middle bury.
 All three of the party were in the midst of good hunting country and were proceeding cautiously with their shot guns cooked ready for instant use. Several rods from the Truman Smith farm the three young men came to a brook. Both Hatt and Black jumped across the brook ill safety but Neal in jumping slipped and fell discharging the contents of both bar rels of the shot gun at close range The buckshot entered the lower part of his legs shattering the bones and in- ficting injuries that were hard to bear Neals companions secured team hur- riedly and the injured man still bleed ing profusely was conveyed to Dr Mo riarty's office where his wounds were dressed. He was taken to his room on Cooke street and it is thought will eventually recover the full use of his limbs although it will be many weeks
