But the reporter wanted reasons.
"I would rather have my ships tanks
filed with Delaware water than any
other on earth, and so would every
commander I know. It tastes good
and, best of all, it keeps. Not even
spring water has the keeping qualities
that this river water has," r>
"Does water spoilT" inquired the
sceptc.
Certainly" replied the captain. "Fill
a ships tank with the purest and best.
and in a few weeks it looses its taste;
get fiat, as it were, and that Is where
the Delaware is ahead. Its water has
been known to taste fresh after VOy-
age to China. This is due to the ma
ture Of the soil that is drained by the
river. The mountains and the slate
regions of the Delaware and Lehigh
rivers supply certain chemicals which
act as a preservative and make the
water different from any other. Why.

When Senator Joe. Blackburn was
struggling young lawyer, as all really.
great statesmen must have been at
some stage of their career, he was
called upon to defend a negro charged
with murder. Mr.. Blackburn did the
best he could-made an impassioned
address to the jury and all that sort OF
thing-but the defendant was SEN
fenced to pay the extreme penalty.
+ Mr.: Blackburn was then taking his
first dip into politics, running for some
small local Office. he had a hard time
getting people to attend; the meetings
at which he was advertised to speak,
and luck generally appeared to be
against him. Well, hanging day came.
and the doomed man was told that he

to say his last words.
Mr.. Blackburn accompanied the man
to the scaffold, and as his eyes wan

agreed to let him go ahead. .'-
Thereupon, much to the surprise OF
the auditors, Mr.. Blackburn launched
into an effort on the issues Of the hour.
He was proceeding to his own entire
satisfaction, when he felt tugging at
his coat tails. Glancing around, he
encountered the panied expression OF
the negro.

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY,

Frauds In Watch CSscs.
According to an article in the Cincin'
natl Commercial, a. fifty.oue pound stone
was recently found in that city Becreted
in a bale of hay of eighty pounds. fs!N
This Is not as bad as finding q lump Of
lead of nearly 'one-half the weight Of the
solid. gold watch case secreted in the CEN
ire of the case. 5. .1>th - .ta&sA
Gold watch cases are sold by weight, and
no one can see where this lead is eecreted
until the springs Of the case are taken Cub
and the lead will be found secreted behind
them. !""'a
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest, but furnish the means
to the dishonest to rob the public, 1t Is
not pleasant for anyone to find that he
has lugg-d lump of lead in his watch
Ar Another trick of the maker, of spurious
solid gold watch cases Is to stamp the case

not stamp any article made out of gold and
silver except coin, and the fakir, by, using
this stamp, wants to make the pubic Pc
lieve that the Government had something
to do with the stamping or guaranteeing
the fineness of watch cases: -. s"%
Another trick o., the watch fakir is to
advertise watch described as solid gold

paid for the watch he finds that the COM
