STORIES OF THE TOWN.

"Fhe lowest-down, ornriest trick I ever
perpetrated in my life." said the middle

beautiful rings of smoke from a fragrant
cigar, was when / succeeded in arousing
two counties to a state of unwonted ex-
element, and, incidentally, made my first
financial speculation. Ny cousin and i.
then boys of twelve or thirteen years, paid
visit to our grandmother. who kept the
tollgate on the old National turnpike. now
East Washington street. II was a paradisa-
cal spot for boys. We firmly believed in
those days that no spot on earth could af-
ford joys greater than those to be found
at the little yellow house by the tollgate.
The patch of garden. with its vegetables
and homely flowers, the little orchard, the
old-fashioned well sweep and the tiny ram
bling brook across the meadow were all
sources of unalloyed pleasure to us. lately
freed from school and the comparative re-
straint of our own homes. Above all did we
enjoy opening and closing the gate for the
passers-by and collecting the tolls in little
red lineup.
"Our happiness was clouded over one Sun
day morning. however Grandmother and
the rest of the folks al the tollgate started
off to town in high feather to spend the
day, leaving US AT home alone. We had
firmly counted upon accompanying them.

WATER PRESSURE is Low
RESIDENTS OF THE EASTERN PART
OF THE CITY COMPLAIN.
Lumber Mill Closes Down on This
Account-Vfce President Davis
Says Water Is Wasted.

1t was reported last night that a water
famine was threatening the east part of
indianapolis and that residents of that
part of town were unable to get water.
One man said last night that the A. c. Kes
lumber mill had been closed down on &C
count of not having water enough for the
boilers, and that the pressure, which had
been low for a week, ceased yesterday aft
ernoon at 3 o'clock and there had been no
water since.
F. A. w. Davis, Of the water company,
when asked concerning the scarcity of
water in the eastern part of the city. said
that he hardly thought there was any need
for worry, because the usual amount of
water was going to that locality. People
leave their sprinkers open, allow their hose
to run all night and in various ways waste
the supply and then blame the company for
not having water" said Mr.. Davis. He
also explained that the pressure at the
pumping station was good and that the sup
ply in the high parts of the city would be
low as long as the people wasted the water.
Over 100000 gallons of water were pumped
Tuesday and more than that was used yes
terday. Mr.. Davis says that this is too
much for the number of taps by 100000
gallons.
Reports from other parts of the city are
to the effect that the water pressure during
certain hours of the day, presumably when
there is general sprinkling, is very low
Especially is this true of high buildings.

The Spinster.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
"Spinster," said the philologist, sis the
term that the law applies to the woman
who is unmarried. The origin of the word
dates back to the days when spinning was
not done by machinery but by hand AT
that time every girl learned to spin, as a
matter of course. the same as she now
learns TO spell. She was obliged to spin a
couple of hours every day, and what she
produced belonged to her. Thus every girl.
by the time she came to get married
owned a great quantity of linen of her
own make that she brought, as a kind of
dover, to her husband. Every girls leisure
up almost TO her wedding day was devoted
to the spinning OF linen for use in the
household of her spouse. Therefore every
unmarried girl was called spinster. The
abolition of hand spinning however. abol-
ished the significance of this word"

The Board of Children's Guardians, at
the suggestion Of Bicyclemen Askins and
Duncan. is investigating the alleged mis-
treatment of little nine-year-old Iona Ar
buckle by her stepfather, George Galloway,
who lives at 239 West South street 1t is
claimed by the neighbors that Galloway
has made practice of beating the child
almost every morning, and often, 1t is said
she little girl has been so brutality whipped
by him that her body has been one mass of
sores.
Yesterday morning. the neighbors say, the
child was so numerically beaten by tie
man that she was scarcely able to drag her
self from the house after her persecuror
had left home for his work.

The Children In Vacation.

what are you going to do with your
children in vacation?" they asked her at
the Mothers Club. And the little woman
replied: 81 set them to work and then
try to get acquainted with them Then
she detailed her plan, how the first week
after school closed they were free to do as
they liked, but after that the first half Of
each day was claimed by herself for work
either in or out of the house. Then the
afternoon was reserved for amusement.
Every afternoon we all get together, and
somebody reads aloud while the others
work. The children whittle, do headwork
ard embroidery bend iron, model in clay
and cut paper toys. 1t does them all good
to settle down for an hour in one another's
society, particularly the boys, who are in
clined to get boisterous and rough If left
too much to themselves. 1t seems to me
very important that children should be
brought up to have good time with their
mother. The vacation may not spell rest
for me, but it brings my children and me
ever closer together"

tings is on in full swing and Indianapolis
people are purchasing the pretty novelties
offered this year at an astonishing rate.
One of the prettiest porch suites ever
shown in the city is of green ash with
wicker trimmings 1t is of that delicious
cool shade of green that cools one simply
by contemplation, and the arms of the two
very comfy rockers and the settee are
SNAPPED like canoe paddles, slightly bent,
which adds to the soothing effect of the
color and the comfortableness.
Bamboo screens are taking the place to a
considerable extent of the erstwhile inev-
liable red or tan-striped awnings. They are
prettier in that they give the veranda more
the appearance of a room and fully as sat
isfactory in keeping out undesirable sun
shine. One of the Indianapolis shops has
sold these screens for 81 this seasonal very
Satisfactory SAT- drop; tc the purchaser. at
vious seasons have found attached to the
screens.
The 'powder-rag girl is bit slow in
finding out that she need be such no longer.
The tiny booklets of "poudre papier." which
so many women bring home with them from
abroad, are procurable in the Indianapolis
shops for the sum of IS cents. They are
or handbag, and do away with the I'M
sightliness of the powder rag or channels,
which become grimy after few days of
use.
Sample hosiery reduced from $50 and
$3.50 to 80 cents and SO cents is among the
weeks attractions at one of the depart
ment stores. Lots of the stockings are too
giddy to be really attractive. as Is always
the case with a showing of bargain hosiery;
but others are truly bargains. Among those
shown are some In all white and all black
step-real $3.50 values. anyone knows
who priced them earlier in the season.
xxx
Tables especially for porch use form an
important part Of the furniture stores dis
plays just now. The low round ones just
big enough for few magazines and a vase
of flowers, and fashioned from green wicker
are exceedingly attractive. Another style
holds, halfway between the top and the
milady of the veranda may drop her en-
broidery or darning when she tires of it.
xxx
Lovely st. Gall swisses, reduced from SIS
to % cents. and foulards and taffetas, from
s1.25 to 37h cents, are only two examples
of the bargains shown in the weeks shop
windows. Thin materials of all varieties
and silks and other fabrics emnently suited
for the fashioning of the favorite runabout
suits are repriced at sums so small that it
seems a waste of money not to buy them.
XXX
For the very wee ones there is a window
full of desirable things at the uniform price
of so cents at one Of the Washington-street
stores. The showing includes short white
frocks, daintily fashioned, little sacques of
flannel or wool, and pairs Of little shoes of
several styles.
Another handsome porch suite consists of
a divan, a rocker and an odd-shaped table
of two shelves, and is in Antwerp finished
oak, combined with fibre woven in check
