UNDERGROUND ROBBERY.
Detroit Free Press.

4 L
Underground robbery is a new variety,
of course, but it is always the incredible
that happens" remarked the last man who
had found a chance to talk. We've had a
good many things stolen out of our back
yard since we began TO live on the old place
where We are now-my fathers old place,
but the theft which grieved us most was
that of our velour old well. that was dug
about forty years ago. You can replace
shovels, axes, hatchets, coal, wood, or
kindling which is stolen from your prem
ises, but you can't replace an old Well"
The other men all stared, and one of them
said that he didn't see how anybody could
steal a we'll.
That's true, too" said the other man, 1T
is astonishing, and we couldn't believe it
for a long time. Our old well suddenly be-
gan acting up and We sent for the pump
man, thinking the pump was out of order.
He said we needed a new pump; so it was
ordered and put in place--a SIS pump. Good
ness! L wish L had that SIS back again!
For a few days the water seemed to
come all right, and then the well acted up
again.; water wouldn't come at all. SEN
for the pump man again and told him his
old pump wasn't any a~ccount-didn't bring
up any water. He investigated the matter
and returned the astounding verdict that
there wasn't any water in the well, not a
drop. We could hardly believe it, but hao
to accept it. Weeks and months went by
but the well never came back to business a
the old stand. The whole family grieved
over it, and the neighbors, too. That ole
we'll had been a local patriarch, so to speak
On a train one day L was telIlng anOtnel
man about the u"naccOuntable disappear
ance of our good old family well, and he
asked me If any new ice factories had start
ed up in the neighborhood. ] told him thu
one had begun operations a block ava
from us, just about the time we lost oul
well.
That's it, he said, ice factories always
sink very deep wells and that ice factory
has drawn off your well. That happened in
our town once, and five other wells in the
same neighborhood went. too. BY jimminy
what we need in this country is a society
for the protection of wells
This is a true story" concluded the
speaker, land our stolen well has never
come back"

TOeing Out.
Washington Pc:

Washington Post
Forty years ago a woman who did not
toe out at an angle of at least thirty de-
grees had no p~retense 10 elegance of car
riage. But to-day women and men walk
with their feet very nearly parallel, the
natural position. All ancient peoples. the
.-sandaled thrOngs of lays and songs
walked regal-gaited. with toes straight
ahead. The red Indians are often described
as toeing in. but they do not. save the horse
Indians. whose constant riding makes them
somewhat bOw-legged. from which defect
toeing in comes natural. The untrammeled
foot OF the ndian is wider al the toes than
at the heel. and that gives them the APP
pearance OF c-onverging feet, when the axes
are really parallel. Indians claim that they
can backtrack in the snow from the char
acter of their gait so that no one can tell
which way they passed.

Feminine Sarcasm.

-VTT IT 10 IN N---T-
The Massachusetts legislature. after ex-
tended travail lasting through many Ses-
sions. has at last brought forth an act
which has been passed upon by the Great
and General Court in special session and
will become a law Jan. l.. Ii allows hus-
band and wife 10 inherit property in the
same manner. and in a burst of liberality
il changes the provision that "a widow
may remain in her husbands house forty
davs after his death" and extends the
time TO six months.
At it's last meeting the Massachusetts
Suffrage Association adopted these slightly
sarcastic resolutions:
Resolved. That we rejoice in the action
of the Legislature in equalizing the law
of inheritance between husband and wife
in the new code. and.
whereas Massachusetts women have
been asking for this obviously just measure
for dfty-four years.
Resolved. That indirect influence with
out the ballot IS a slow n laborious way
