DIDN HAVE A WIFE 6
But Thirsty Excelsior Man Nearly Fooled
the Preacher.

But Thirsty Excelsior Man Nearly Fooled
the Preacher:
II Rev. Donald Mckenzie, the, Methodist
minister at Excelsior, is patting himself
on the back today. This is because he
considers himself an exception to the rule
that ministers lose control Of their judi
cial faculty in transports Of sympathy
caused by sad tales told them by fearful
people,
Sunday an Excelsior man, being unatle
to buy a small quantity of brandy or
whisky for "1lis sick wife, went to the
minister and asked him for a written
order for the liquor John Ermantrautt.
the saloonkeeper, having told him that lie
would not sell the stuff without the
preachers o. X. Mr. Mckenzie felt aw-
fully sorry. for the poor husband and his
sick wife and said he'd phone the drug
glst to supply the whisky, but under no
circumstances would he consent to ask
the saloonman to sell it.
Now the preacher has learned that the
applicant of Sunday didn't have a sic3
wife-in fact. that he didn't have a wife
at all. There is a suggestion that the
joke was planned by the saloonkeeper,
who merely smiles when the subject is
mentioned and won't say a word. The
minister is still congratulating himself on
| his escape, but 1t was a narrow one.

WADING POOLS FOR TOTS
C. M. LORING TELLS HOW BENE-'
FICIAL THEY ARE AND WHY
THEY SHOULD BE BUILT HERE.


"Never at any time or place have
seen children enjoy themselves 50
thoroly. as in the Wading pools at
Buffalo few days ago" said c. M.
Loring, the father of the Minneapolis
park system. a''Children%delig in
getting their feet into water and the
smaller they are the better they
seem to enjoy padding and splashing
about in the water. This wading pool
in Buffalo is not over eighteen inches
Deep and the smallest tots are al
lowed there. It is impossible to de-
scribe how much they enjoyed It, but
! one hour Of the happiness the little
ones displayed in the pool was worth
more than the pool cost. Minneapolis
needs wading pools and if there is. any
money available shall urge that Wad-
ing pools be established
D. H. Painter, who has undertaken
to direct the vacation schools, Is an
ardent advocate of children's play
grounds, provided with wading pools
for the smallest children. The funds
at his disposal will not permit him to
even think of such things at present,
but he submits to the people of Min
| neapolis that there is no, investment
that will bring such great returns as
| a. wading pool.
| Minneapolis has no place where the
children from to 9 years old can
disport themselves in the water with
security, IT. is emanifestly unsafe to
| send them to the public baths at9Lake

riet is much more dangerous than the
beach atGCalhoun on account OF Its

Aldermen VIII Try to Freshen Up Lorlna
Park Ponds.

Again the aldermen are to regulate
park matters, the lake in Loring park now
claiming their attention. At meeting
of the council committee on waterworks
this morning Alderman Merrill moved
that two-inch stream be discharged into
the lake with view to killing the aquatic
scum and vegetable growth. The hope is
not founded on substantial grounds, e9
similar experiments in the past have nos
been successful
A request will be made to induce the
health department to experiment with the
famous Bordeaux mixture as an agency
for destroying the growths.
A queer bid for furnishing lubricating'
oil for the North Side and Northeast
pumping stations was submitted by the
Standard Oil. There was nothing said
about quantity or price per gallon, but
the city is TO have all the oil 1t wants and
is to pay the company at the rate Of
z As cents for every million gallons Of
water pumped.
