the water supply may be continued.
one suggestion was that the villages
Of Stambaugh and Iron River combine
on a water works system but when the
proposition came to be submitted to
the people at mass meeting IL was
like trying to mix fire and powder
The old lealousies cropped out on both
sides of the river and the plan was

Mr.. Ciumberiy Phil osophises on the vaca.
ton Problem.
Il never did have much OF a head for
figures" said Mr.. Clumberly. Il never set out
on even a half way difficult mathematical
calculation without getting lost; but strange
as II may seem. the.thing that floors me solid
est and hardest Is a simple sum in addition,
aud this Is q sum with which I am con-
fronted annually.
Every year at this season there comes a
time when We are finally compelled to get
down TO figures on MI vacation expenses,
to figure up on how much les going to cost
and how much we've got.
aAs the time for going draws nearer we
always find that We have spent more money
in preparation than we had expected to spend
and that our visible available capital for the
trip 10 considerably reduced.
THAT does certainly give us a little
sort Of a Jolt, and Of top Of that presently
We get another when we come to make a
little q oser estimate Of what the trip Is
going to cost. So now we hnd that the
itai available to meet 1t 10 shrinking, and
we've got o long list Of things to buy Yet,
to say nothing Of ou ordinary running
Then there comes a time when we sit
down and figure this thing out in cold blood;
cost is going to be- We had originally
considered the cost Of the trip, roughly,
az 40 much for board and go much for
getting there, total so much. We had, to
Be sure, added a little to that on that casual
coed to put all the items down in cold figures;
the cost Of handling the baggage and the
cost OF our own transportation, In addition
to our regular railroad fare; we put down
now tho cost Of a boat-we want one-and
sort ard another, remembering now for
the first time, too, that we've got to have
a little something left when We get back.
And when we've got all these things down,
all these things that must be provided for,
and have toted the column up
'But the worst is yet to come, when we
come to figure up our cash assets. which
we low do. We've got 80 much actual
cash on hand, we've got 80 much coming
to us before we 90 away, and we oan draw
find that the deficit Ia something alarming.
