Jacks, queens and ten settled all
about the floor grinning wickedly
upward. Parker stopped still in the
midst of n sentence and gazed speech

The people gasped 1t all flashed
over them in IA minute. They had
heard story of their pastors fond
ness for the devils picture books in
his younger days and now it had
come back upon him and he had

Parker, in IA dazed way, put his
hand again into his back pocket and
again brought forth the king OF

Ike came shamefacedly back. He
came forward and commenced to
pick up the cards while Parker was

preacher still held.

IRRIGATION IN THE WEST
{. .....::l.I.. 10000. ...c .cY.o.oco.:

Ehe spread of irrigation in the
northwest and the increasing depend
ence upon it for the utilization of vast
areas of land which are now Of little or
no value has stimulated the hydrog-
raphic division OF the United States
geological survey to undertake a sys-
tematic search for water for develop
ment and distribution.
Fortunately the arid sections are
scanned by numerous lofty, forest-clad
and often -snow-capped mountain
ranges, from which flow the purest
streams. Thus the streams and rivers
and the underground or artesian-well
waters where they exist have become
the pivotal factor: on which rest the
agricultural development of immense
sections of the west; their waters
must be brought to the land before it
can be productive.
In the search for water for irriga-
ton two parties are now engaged. AL
ready discoveries of value are report
ed. Prof. Isaac C.. Russell. who has
been working o. the great laya-cov-
cred section of southern Idaho, reports
the discovery of an artesian basin over
100 miles in length, whose western
limit. though undetermined, lies in the

The actors. who have made their
fame on one PLAY, the authors whose
reputation rests aron one book. or the
orators whose celebrity Is connected
with one speech, are not nearly so nu-
merous as the singers who have be-
come known through one song. The

A song will sometimes be sung by a
