Tied The Wrong String.

A handsomely dressed lady, rid
ing recently in crowded Amster-
dam-avenue car, was fortunate
enough to have u seat, but when
nearing her destination she noticed
that the lacing of her Oxford tie was
unfastened. IL was the work OF q
moment. but very warm and try
ing moment, 10 stOop down and knot
IL securely. When this was accom-
plished, her hat and veil readjusted,
ard her gloves once more carefully
put ON, it was time to signal the
conductor. This she did, and after
two vain attempts to rise looked
around indignantly to find the cause
of her retarded movements. She
came face to face with q very irate
gentleman. who had been sitting
next TO her.
"Madame-Madame where are
you trying to take me?" he demand
ed.
"I-voul" she stammered.
"Yes-look therel" He pointed
TO the floor, and in an instant she
had grasped the situation. By mis-
take in cropping she had found the
lacing Of his shoe, which she had
taken for the other end of her own,
and had fastened them so carefully
together that it took the gentleman
quite five minutes to effect release,
under the amused glances of the
other occupants Of the car, which
had travelled twice that number of
blocks before the lady was ready TO
give another signal. FORK

Commissioner of Pensions Eugene

which he said:

sion reduced or suspended while !
enjoy the prosperity that is mine al
present."
This is the only letter that ever
came TO the Pension Bureau asking
for reduction of pension, and Com.
missioner Ware looked at it with
much curiosity and some suspicion.
After determining that the man is
really on the rolls, he wrote to the
special pension examiner in the
district in which the man lives and
asked him to investigate. This is
the answer the pension examiner
sent in reply;
Il have the honor to inform you
that the person who applied for a
reduction in his pension is now in
the insane asylum at this place and
has been for some time.

Underground Waters Of SOUTH

Important light has been thrown
OF the underground water resources
OF southeastern Virginia by deep

though several bearing strata
were penetrated, they we're all found
10 develop flows Of salt water. The
results obtained from the Fort Mon
roe well confirm those found else
where in this region. Salt water
only has been found In b0rings at
Norfolk, Va, at 76O feet; at Will
mington. N. c., where bedrock was
reached; at the Chamberlain Hotel,
Old Point Comfort. at 947 feet, and
in several wells at Crisfield in east
ern Maryland. These borings in
dictate that there are no prospects
for disable underground waters in
the region. Eastern Virginia is un-
derlain by succession of widely
extended sheets of sand and clays
lying In regular order on an east
sloping floor of granite or other bed
rock This rock disappears be-
meath the surface along zone pas
sing near Petersburg, Richmond,
Fredericksburg, and Washington,
and, descending at rate varying
from 40 to 100 feet per mile, reaches
q considerable depth near the ocean
-2,246 feet at Fort Monroe. The
sands of the everything formations
contain water which is abundant and
fresh for the first 40 TO 80 miles from
the west, but is now known not TO be
available in the extreme southeast.
Numerous fine-fiowing wells have
been obtained along the Potomac,

ers from several sand horizons, but
about Old Point Comfort and TO the
south and east the upper water-bear-
ing sands have changed into non
