Cleared Of Bad Charge.

Starvation was a dog and deserved
a better name. 1t had been given him
in a spirit of fun when he first made
his appearance in the Nelson family.
He had come as tramp on bitter
cold night. and showed his JOY at be-
ing admitted to the kitchen by eating
everything in sight. If he had not
been so freaky-looking he would have
received more dignified name, but Joe
Nelson, the wag of the neighborhood,
saw possibilities in naming their tramp
visitor Starvation. ,
To start with, Starvation was a
dachshund, the kind of dog that is
hest described as "dog and half
long. and half dog high" His legs
were bowed and twisted. His toes
turned out and so topped when he
walked that on first seeing Starvation,
one was sure he had been run over by
an automobile at least.

And so Is man.
Like man he may be taught some tricks !;

The mule--when he gets mad he kicks,
And so does man.
The mule-he has a load to pull,
And so does man.
He's happiest when he is full.
And so Is man.
Like man he holds patient Doise,.
And when his works done will rejoice;
The mule--he likes to hear his voice,
And so does man.
The mule-he has his faults. tits true,
And so has man.
lie does some things he should not do,
And so does man.
Like man he doesn't yearn for style,
But wants contentment all the while;
The mule-he has a lovely smile,
And so has man.
The mule Is sometimes kind and good,
And so Is man.
He eats all kinds Of breakfast food,
And so does man.
Like man he baks at gaudy dress
And all outlandish foolishness
The mules accused of mulishness,
And so Is man.

Game Of Bees and Pigeons.

A girl is chosen to represent the
"Robber Bee" She sits down and the
other players approach her and move
their arms to represent tapping wings.
They say
I'VE pigeons come a-hying!"
Whence come you a-f1yin'?
Have care! Have care!
Of the Robber Bee Beware!

AS soon as she has said "Of the Rob
Der Bee beware" the second time she
jumps up and tries to catch a pigeon.
The captured one must become Rob-
Der Bee and help the first one, and so
on until the players have all been
caught. The last one to be captured be-
comes the Robber Bee for the next
game.

Irrigation is as useful in New York

Thousands of miles of canals, says

upon more than 100000 acres Of

More than 80 percent of the coun-
try's irrigated farms are in the semi
arid region between the Rockies and
the Mississippi, using the headwaters
of the latter stream. This takes in
part of the Great American Desert"
of old biographies.
The Columbia river basin is third
in Importance in irrigation projects.
1t alone supplies nearly 10000 farms
with water. The Colorado river
through much of its course lies in a
canyon so deep that it cannot be
coaxed out to work. Only twenty sys-
TENS are supplied from the main
stream. Systems heading near Yuma,
Arizona, are turning desert lands into
a region Of marvellous richness.
Not until 1897 was irrigation applied
to coast lands in the Southern States
supposed before then to be suitable
for pasturage only. Now they are pro-
ducing big crops of rice upon thous-
ands of acres. American rice is a
crop with vast future.
Texas and Arizona are curiously
handicapped as to irrigation by the
present treaty with Mexico which for
bids the impounding of any part of the
waters of the Rio Grande. Probably
in the future there will be no diff
Guilty in arranging this matter.
Streams subjected to sudden floods,
like the Rio Grande and the Missis-
sippi, are improved by the construc-
ton Of headwater storage systems.
These tend to diminish floods. Ex-
IRENE low water is also indirectly
minimized by headwater impounding
Rain tends to increase in frequency
in the dry season upon lands abund-
antly supplied with water from reser-
voirs. Evaporation cools the air and
promotes rain.

BRITT and NELSON

The day after.
And it was like the day after the
greatest fight the world had known.
In point Of interest 1t ranks with the
John l.. Sullivan-Jim Corbett affair in
New Orleans and the Fitzsimmons-
Corbett bout at Carson.
The sports are chatting about 1t on
every corner, and 1t will be a popular
theme for many day to come. Look
ing backward 1t will be as landmark
in pugilistic history.
The talk heard made 1t apparent
that every one considered the contest
perfect in every particular. This, too,
Of course, IL the other man had won
under exactly similar circumstances.
There was no dirty work, no trickery-
a fact and furious onslaught between
two fellows who are on par as to
pluck, but were poorly matched as to
endurance.
From what Jimmy Britt Is saying II
is evident that he believes the old
familiar lucky punch" had something
to do with his reverse. Like all game
men he is chock full Of vanity and the
spirit of self-reliance, and 1t would be
hard to persuade him that he was not
as strong as Nelson just before the end
came.
He said yesterday that in the six
tenth, seventeenth and eighteenth
rounds he felt he was more than hold
ing his own.
when Nelson swung his right on
my jaw, his eyes were almost glazed"
said Jimmy. "He was in a worse
plight than | was.
1T doesn't matter now. | was whip
ped fairly. Some day it may be my
privilege to meet him again. He will

ment and | will sign them.
1t was the intention Of James Edward
last night to start ahorseback this
morning for Lake county with Leo
Nolan and Billy Pratt for companions.
But Manager Willie is doing all he can
to change Jimmy's plans. The man
who lost seems to be more popular In
defeat than he was In victory and to
get a theatrical engagement all he has
to do is to write his own contract and
go to work. John Morrissey of the
Orpheum says the reception Britt got
Sunday night beats anything he ever
saw in the way of an ovation. Maybe
Willie will make Jimmy see that the
wisest thing to do at this time is to
show the public he can look the world
in the eye, grab some salary and keep
the carpers from crying that Britt is
ashamed OF himself and has retreated
to the tall timber.

 The very best investment that can be made in family is that which is given the children 10 prepare them to adorn the stations they shall occupy when childhood is past. and they shall reach maturity IL is by no means necessary that your children shall inherit for tune, but it is good thing for them to have the means of carving out their own path, and making their own fortunes by their brains and hands
