Bark.

Now a large, dark vessel was de-
serted in the Bosporus, belching fire
and waking the echoes of those histor-

'What bark is that?" asked the sui

"That. take 1t, Is the bark of the
dogs of war;" said the grand vizier wit
tily.
This sally was followed by strict

No Use For the Water


'They tell a good many Jokes about
Kentucky colonies and their natural
aversion to water" said fat drummer
In the hotel corridor the other night,
but the richest thing in that line ever
knew to come off In real life happened
over in Alabama when old man Briggs
was trying to sell his summer hotel.
Briggs had a pretty piece of property
in the Alabama highlands, and its star
feature was magnificent big spring
that welled into sort of basin and
was as cold as ice all the year round.
He had good prospects of making a
popular resort out of the place, but he
got the California fever and offered it
Mt sacrifice to race horse man from
Kentucky who had an idea that he was
Gut out for landlord.
1.-THE race horse man was a typical
Kentucky colonel of the old school and
a mighty fine fellow. He came down
to look over the ground in person, and
Briggs started out with him to point
out the principal attractions. At last
they came to the famous spring. This,
colonel said Briggs, stopping at the
edge of the basin and swelling with
pride, is wonderful natural reservoir
of crystal pure water, inexhaustible in
volume and ice cold in temperature. 1t
Is undoubtedly the finest spring in the
south
'Hum-m-m? grunted the colonel,
sizing up the bubblirg pool. 4 reckon
I'll have to have this hole filled IN if

A Policeman's Construction of New

From the Shanghai Mercury, August 49,

about the bathing regulations made by the

derry. He says:
To show how little these decency reg,,-
iations are understood by those RESPONSE
BILE for their enforcement, and also as a
bright and shining example Of unswerving
devotion to duty, the case of the Suma DO
liceman deserves to be put on record. He
was seen the other day disportIng himself
In the briny decorously clad in a suit of
foreign pyjamas. Where he obtained them
Is something to wonder about perchance
they were legacy or treasure trove or he
might have ordered them from his tailor
but anyhow he had them on and Thought
they were bathing suit. Now what fol-
lows Is very instructive and has the merit
of being absolutely true. No sooner had
the spectators managed to control their
mirth at the sight OF the policeman in
pytamas than he moved them to fresh con-
Eulsions by gravely walking ashore dt-
vesting himself Of his pyjamas on the
beach. wringing them out and drying him.
self with them. Having completed his
toilet. he took his pyjamas on his arm and
strolled away. naked as Adam, but clothed
In a complacent consciousness of rectitude
and armed with the knowledge that he had
carried out the decency laws as he under
stood them, and had set bright and shin
ing example to those who had the privilegs
OF witnessing his performance. Well done

Squatter Village in Lantana Jungle
Near Honolulu.
From the Honolulu Star, September 9.
A colony of native squatters has been
unearthed on Round Top by the work of
the surveying party who are laying out
the route for 8. T. Alexanders new route
to Tantalus. There seems to be an in
definite number of poor native families who
have located their tumble-down shacks.
built of scraps of lumber and tin, among
the lantana on Round Top.
They fetch their water from the stream
that runs below and exc out a precarious
existence by raising potatoes in the soil.
Many Of these squatters are on the govern
ment land which will be opened up by Mr.
Alexander's new road, and on the opening
of the lands will present problem similar
to that OF the Kakaako settlement. Lanes
run mere ana there through the thicket of
lantana, which is impervious to sight and
casual enterprise. Seine of these lead to
the water, some to neighboring shacks.
Without exception the families are miser-
ably poor and their novels, even If pic
Meantime a generation of ''brushwood
boys and girls are being raised In the
lantana jungle. The survey Is being pushed
as rapidly as possible. but the surveyors
are meeting with considerable difficulty in
laying their air line on account Of the
dense growth OF lantana. The brush is head
high. forming thick tangle that has to
be cleared to the ground before a chain
can be run or transit leveled. In order
to leave room for changes and space for
keeping the grade within limits and to
make the necessary observations of the
contour Of the country, strip of forty
feet or twenty feet on each side of the line
has to be prepared.
