NO POCKETS IN A SHRoUD.

Oh, ye who bow at Mammon's shrine,
whose hearts with greed are growing cold.
VINO turn your backs on things divine
And worship but the god Of gold,
What will 1t profit you when death
Lays low the head so kingly proud
And robs the wasted form Of breathi
There are no pockets in a shroud.
Your thoughts by day, your dreams by night,
Are but OF grasping golden gain;
Your guide is but the beacon light
OF riches burning in your brain.
You cast all nobler aims behind
And struggle as q madding crowd
To clutch the dollars, but you'll find
There are no pockets In 4 shroud
Ye usurcrs who grind the poor
Beneath a cold, relentless heel,
Who overshadow many q door
With cloud Of misery and feel
No sympathy TO see them lie
Beneath the hand OF sorrow cowed,
Remember when you come to die
There are no pockets in a shroud.
What Is the profit TO the man
Whose life to Mammon has been givenf
bridge OF gold can never span
The gulf between the earth and heaveni
What will IL be to him to And
The wealth with which he lie endowed
Al deaths gate must be left behind2
There are no pockets in a shroud.
This life is but a span; today
We're here tomorrow we are gone,
Have faded from the earth away
Into eternitys strange dawn;
Yet in the hungry greed for gains
Too many at the gold shrine bowed
Forget that when the life spark wanes
There are no pockets IN a shroud.

CITY M En- SUPPL Y

IN the Near Future.

As free as water IS an expires
sion OF relative rather than positive
force. AS far back as patriarchal
times men were ready to tight for a
water supply for their HocksS aud
herds, and wherever large commun-
tiles are gathered together, sup
ply Of pure water IS an important
and often costly requisite. Red
wood Falls had outgroWn its de:
pendence on private wells and els
terms before the big fire Of 1885. but
that conf lion and the CONNER
cial House fire two years later,
emphasized the need of the city for
water for fire protection at least.
The city administrations Of those
days, led by Mayor Dickinson. set
about the task OF getting q water
supply which could not only be de-
pended upon as a safeguard against
destructive fires, but which would
supply the entire city with an UNI
failing supply Of pure drinking
water for domestic and other pur-.
poses. The first experiments made
were in the line OF sinking deep
wells, test holes being drilled down
to the granite formation at half a
dozen points in this vicinity The
failure to find an adequate supply
on account of the granite oat-crop
pings, directed attention to d group
of springs on the Hihn farm south
west of the city, and experts having
analysed this water aud pronounced
it good, engineers we're employed
to make surveys and estimates with,
the view Of getting a supply from
these sources. Then followed the
voting of S25, 600 bonds and the sub
sequent installation of the present
system in 1892.
Up to the time Of the dry spell Of
last summer. the supply had been
found ample, but owing to extern
sions OF the system and tie demand
for street. sprinkling. and lawns. the.
supply had to be elSed out by almost.

a visit to the power house last
Saturday gave our reporter some
new light on the workings OF our
water system. Snpt. ParkhiIl ex-
planned the principles of the big
steam pump; which forces 25 gal
Ions into the water tower nearly
half a mile away at every stroke.
and which can be speeded to 90
strokes a minute. The reservoir
has a capacity Of about $4,000 gal
Ions, and at ordinary times four or
five hours are sufficient to fill up
| the water tower with the days sup
ply. Gauges on the wall show how
much wafer the pumps are displac-
ing, and the height Of the water in
the tower. The pump looks simple
enough, but at the intake there are
80 different valves in two groups,
one above the other, and any stop
page or breakage of one Of these
means trouble for the whole bust
ness. When the present superin-
Itendent took charge nearly Six
years ago, repairs had to be made
in one Of the castings, the breaking
Of which was brought about by the
improper working of one of the
pistons, owing to corrosion Of the

work was free from such corrosion,
