The tlrong seemed to take another
long breath, and then to hold it as,
the few preliminaries answered, Mr..
Ray was hidden to look at the face
of the deceased. Pale, composed, yet
with infinite sadness of mien, the
young officer, campaign hat in hand,
stepped over to the trestle, and the
steward again slowly withdrew the
light covering, again exposing that
placid face.
The afternoon sunshine was wan
ing. The bright glare of the mid
day hours had given place within the
Enclosure to the softer, almost shad-
owy light of early eve. Ray had but
lust come in from the street without
where the slanting sunbeams burst
ing through the clouds beat hot upon
the dazzling walls, and his eyes had
not yet become accustomed to the
change. Reverently, pityingly, he
bent and looked upon the features of
the dead. An expression, first of in
credulity, then of surprise, shot over
his face.
He closed his eyes as though to
give them strength for sterner test,
and then, bending lower, once more
looked; carefully studied the fore
head, eyebrows, lashes, mouth, nose
and hair, then, Strengthening up, he
slowly faced the waiting room and
said:

my life before to-day

FARM WATER SUPPLY.
Unique System Adopted by Man Who
Could Not Afford Wind
mill and Tank,

Father did not like to pump water
for stock and could not afford a wind
mill and tank. He dug a we'll 200
yards from the house, and the bot
tom of the we'll was considerably
higher than he'house, and the house
was IS or 20 feet higher than the
ground at the barn. A pipe was let
into the we'll which nearly reached
the bottom, the open end being pro-
tected by wire screen, covered, so
no mice or foreign substances could
obstruct the flow of water trench
was dug few feet deep and the
pipe laid from the well to pump
some 20 feet away. This pipe was
connected with the perpendicular
pipe in the well by a round elbow.
The pump was some three feet be-

= MiiA


low the top of the well, which was
IS feet deep. A short pipe, a foot
long, was laid from the main pipe,
and a round elbow connected it with
small iron pump. Near the pump
was a screw in the short pipe to shut
off or turn on the water from the
well. On the main pipe, just beyond
the place where the short pipe was
joined, and below, was another
screw.
Halfway down to the barn was
perpendicular pipe about three feet
high and furnished with faucet. Be-
low this the pipe was fitted into
short plank board the size of the
pipe, with one one-halt-inch hole
bored down into the passage and
some three inches below a small hole,
each fitted with a plug. These, with
the faucet, were for the escape of
mir. When ready to start the water,
the faucets at the house and water
trough were closed. A large, strong
barrel furnished tank for the house.
Then the two plugs were removed
Get, midway to the well, the faucet
opened and they were ready. The
screws at the pump must be in per.
feet order and not bubble of all
be allowed to enter the pipe any
where but where indicated. The
screw next the pump must be opened
to let water flow from the we'll
through the pump, and the screw in
the main pipe just below the short
closed.
To start, pour water in the pump,
a half-bucketful, say, and hold the
hand over the nose of the pipe and
pump. In a short time the water
will flow readily from the well, but
let it come freely so the pipe is full,
then lower the handle to the pump,
close the screw at the foot in the
short pipe, open quickly the screw in
the main pipe and if your pipe is not
laid too deep you will hear the water
gurgling away down the hill to the
barn. Now go to the block and
faucet. The water is forcing out the
air, and in short time you will
see it running through the block on
its way down to the barn. Wait I'M
til the pipe is full, which you may
know by the water overfowing from
the air holes in the block. Then put
in the large plug, then the small one,
then close the faucet, and your sy-
phon will draw water as long as
there is any in the well, or a break
in the pipe let's in air. When you do
not want it to run, close the faucets
at barrel and trough.
We have had water run for months
without starting anew, but when wa
ter is low, as it, often is in our long,
rainless summer, we have to start it
as often as it stops running. The
pipe must, of course, be protected
from frost, but that is no, difficult
matter here, where ice is seldom
seen. We have had this well in OPP
Grafton since 'S4. The side well is
connected by screw and joint below
the faucet. BY starting the water
when the pipes are full and the screw
open to the side we'll, the water from
the main well will back up there and
fill it. Of course such things must
be watched.-Mrs. L. r. Littleiohn, in
Farm and Home.

DO THE NEXT THING.

When Napoleon heard his soldiers talk

this memorable advice. 1.-The way to take
Vienna is to take Vienna
Have you anything to do?
Go and do it.
Time will never wait for you
Though you sue it.
Shirks, like drones, will never thrive
Get there, man, and look alive.
IT'S good and helpful plan,
Only try it.
Then, like courageous man,
Square life by it..
Do the next thing now, nor say:
Tomorrow is another day.
There's that letter, long delayed,
Go and write it,
That bad temper you've displayed,
Try to fight it,
Take back that unkind remark,
Stab no enemy in the dark.

To undo it;
Cut your sWath Of ripened grain
Ere you rue it.

Not long ago the wife of western Kan

digging for a few minutes he went into the

back to work. Presently he went to the
house again and said he had found another
com. He washed the dirt off it. 1t was

NOTES WERE NEVER SIGNED

New York, Aug. 2O-Government
secret service officers tonight visited
New Brunswick, N. j., and obtained
possession of plates and nearly $780,
900 face value of notes of old state
bank of New Brunswick. The notes
were not recently reprinted from the
old plates but were genuinely printed
80 years or more ago by the bank it.
self but were never signed by the
president and cashier. Lax methods
in winding up the affairs of the bank
70 years ago seem to have been re-
sponsible for the alleged big swindle
OF. other states with bank notes as
basis. The bank went into lIu,1ida-
ton some years ago. Col. John
Newell was at that time appointed
receiver and wound up the affairs of
the institution. He has since died.
In the cours of his operations he
sold the old plates to Adam Ludwig,
a junk dealer of New Brunswick. The
sale was as old metal. The Junk
dealer also bought the waste paper
and all the junk out of the bank. In
the waste paper he found about half
a million dollars worth of notes and
these were in the original sheets and
uncut and unsigned. These notes he
sold or gave to Jacob Weigel who is
a collector of coins and old notes and
who has a very large collection, one
of the most extensive in the country.
He kept them some years and then
began to dispose of them to coin deal
ers. He sold many of them to reputa-
bic dealers in various parts of the
country, receiving nominal sums for
his sales. Among others, he sold
some to Greenburg & Smith of San
Francisco. This firm Weigel says
afterwards sent him large orders for
notes and in all purchased some $175,-
900 worth, counting their face value.
