The Water Supply.

Some of the city dads are agitating
the question of running pipe west tn
Cedar creek and bringing water from
the creek to the lake. This will cost con-
siderable money, but it will be money
well spent. As it is, the city's water sup
ply is inadevuate. Not only should a
pipe be run to the creek, but the lake
should be cleaned out and enlarged. A
great amount of dirt can be hauled
away from the lake. and it should be
done-immediately. 1t is good dirt. and
those whose yards need filling up and
grading can haul the 1irt from the lake
to the advantage of the lake and their
own premises.
But, possibly the best solution to the
water problem would be to dig an i'm
mense wcll-say thirty feet across IA
deep we'll If a good well OF water could
be secured now, as drv as it is, we need
never fear water famine at any time
in the future.
There is no doubt that the people OF
the city would back" the city officials
in ANYTHING they would do to increase
the water supply.
Whatever is done should be done at
once, while the dry weather lasts.

The ALARM of fire sounded last Satur-
! day morning, and the fire company rush
cd toward column of smoke that was
rolling upward from the Fourth Avenue
hotels clubhouse. The house is an iron
clad building connected with the kitchen,
and it was so hot that the firemcn APP
preached it with difficulty. However,
they scceeded in chopping some holes
through the siding and the roof, and
soon extinguished the fire. 1t is supposed
that some one lighted cigar in the build
ing and dropped the match among the
papers, causing the fire. Very little dam
age was done, but it looked very threat
ening for a while.

He Prayed for Rain.

A little four year old boy, who is &
very observing little chap, said to his
mother, the other day:
mamma, why:don't God turn on the
water"
why, my DEAR" she replied, II don't
know why"
"Well, why don't people ask God to
turn on the water?" said the child.
"They are asking and praying fol
rain," said the mother. Don't yor
think you ought to pray for rain?"
Without a moments hesitation, the
child raised his voice and cried, "OH, GoD
SEND THE RAIN''

He Was Mad.

A member of the fire company is mad.
Avenue h. | the other day, number OF
the boys who work in the Rifley furni-
ture factory ans wered the call and were
at the ene of the fire in short order.
One member OF the company who works
alone in the factory, failed to hear the
alarm. aud wasn't on hand. He got mad
and blamed the other boys for not calling
him. saving they had cheated him out of
his dollar.
A few days later. the weeds and dry
grass in front of the Hotel Royal were
burned off. 1t was one of the hottest
days and the boys in the factory were
cross and blue-or most of 'cm were;
but they hadn't forgotten the roast"
they had received on the day of the fire
at the hotel, and, seeing the burning
weeds and grass in front of the Royal,
they c. n'luded to get even with the
mad member; SO one of the boys ran
down to his room and told him there
was fire up town, and "he'd better
hurry" lie asked If the fire alarm had
been given. but the boys said, mo;
but if you'll hurry. you can get there
fore the bell rings" He grabbed his
hat and ran to the fire, the hot sun beat
ing down upon him and making the
sweat pour in streams. He didn't look
to see whether the other boys were run
ming or not, but kept right on. When he
got to the scene of the ''conhagration,"
he was madden than ever. The BOYS
haven't quit ''guying" him yet, and he
gets madden every time the incident is
mentioned.

1t is estimated by some that it will
take the farmers three years to regain
what they have lost this year by the
drouth; that it will take that length OF
time to grow as large herds of cattle as
they had at the beginning of this season.
Others place the figure higher, and say
it will take five years. But, then, the
farmers are plucky and resourcetuI, and
they can't be kept down.
