LITTLE STORIES ABOUT BIG MEN
Professor Morse's Gratitude

TN 1874, toward the close of the session of K
Congress, Professor Samuel Morse re- kN
turned from Europe, and found that though
his bill for the installation of the telegraph had
passed the house. it still had to appear in the Senate
He had reached the bottom of his purse there
were only two days of the session left and the in
ventor found that there were over one hundred and
forty bills that had precedence over his.
The last night of the session. Morse remained until
nine o'clock, and then, thoroughly disheartened, he
left without the slightest hope that the bill would
be passed. That night he counted his money at the
hotel and found that after he had paid his lodging
and secured his ticket to New York, he would have
just seventy-ive cents left. AS he leaving the
hotel in the morning, he told that was
waiting in the parlor to him. She was Miss
Annie Ellsworth, daughter of the Commissioner of
Patents. She had been of his warmest friends
in Washington, and when he entered the room she
rose extended her hand, and said Il come to con-
graduate you"

NEXT to King Edward, the most popular and

the and the retaining of the wards of the State
who are past self-support and yet not criminals
This owing to the of the farm colonies and
the social redemption work of the army this coun-

would be of compassion for human suffering"

Dill | Ism t often that j. Perpont Morgan con-
w feSses that anyone has beaten him. Per-
. haps the only time when he has had this
experience when he returned, couple
of years ago, from trip to Europe. Now, Morgan
is hated cordially by all of the New York ship-news
reporters, who have to go through the motions of
trying to get interview from the financier every
time he comes back to America. Invariably they
receive this answer, which is given in tones gruff
enough to any hand
Don't you know l never talk? Don't bother
me- Get away!"
One of the reporters getting this reply went back
at Morgan in a way that took the fnancer off his
feet
Look here!" said he shaking his finger in Nor
gans face. I'm getting sick of this. I've heard
you say that for seven years You ought to
be ashamed of yourself. Why can't you be decent
like other big men-Mr. Cassatt and Stuyvesant
Fish and men like them? They always courte-
Gus, even if they have nothing to say. But you,
you like bear. Why-hang you!-why can't
you? You're no diplomat, you wouldn't treat
gentlemen that way
While the reporter was trying to think of some
thing to cap his climax a little better, Morgan
calmly and actually apo1ogetically, said: Perhaps
there's something in that; but you II have excuse
me to-day, as I'm not feeling very well and don't
to talk"
Mr. Morgan thinks that reporter is the best in
New York, and has put his feeling in evidence
highly satisfactory to that newspaper every
possible occasion since the time he was sco1ded at
the pier.

When President Cleveland Was Surprised

DURING the second Cleveland Administration
- Secretary of State Gresham called at the White
House, accompanied by young man who had been
appointed Consul at Triest on the recommendation
of the Secretary. The appointee had made visit
to the Capitol to thank the President in person for
the honor and to inform him that he desired to de-
cline the appointment. He had so informed the
Secretary of State, who said to him, You must
make known your declination to the President, and
l will take you to the White House"
When the Secretary presented the young man to
the President the appointee thanked the President
and rendered his resignation.
Mr. Secretary said the President, this is quite
unusual. l don't know when such an incident has
come to my notice. Have you any other candidates
like this?''

Grand Junction could, at its present
size have ample water with only a
few inches over a hundred inches.
But the city council Is not figuring on
any such a limited supply as one hun

Now let's go a little further in
carrying out our estimates. Say
Grand Junction has two hundred in
ches of water for her system.
Two hundred inches of water run
over n statute weir Will give $780,
600 gallons of water every "a hours,
enough to supply city of twice the
size of Grand Junction.
Three hundred inches would
amount to 5.054, 400 gallons of water
in every "a hours, enough to supply
Grand Junction were she three tim
es as big as she is today
Four hundred inches would give
6,739,200 gallons every "a hours.
Five hundred inches run over a
statute weir would amount to S,42t,-
900 gallons of water every "a hours,
enough to furnish all the water a
town of $4,000 to 10000 would
want.

IL might be said here that while
II has not been announced IL to what
source Grand Junction will go after
water, hannah creek, has been more
generally spoken of as the probable
source than any other locality IL
would be well to take into considera-
tion in studying the figures Mr.. Ned-

who are informed that when the
water is at its yer, lowest there are

do in the way of getting a goodly and

The CITY council askes that the peo-
pie of Grand Junction approve of the

The city attorney and some of his
friends are openly making the dec

furnish the water, that Grand juno

water would cost or how much could

Speaking of the fact that many
people have no idea what one hun

to. much less several hundred inches
Mr. Nedder made some interesting
statements and gave the Sentinel
some just as interesting figures in
bearing out these facts and 1t would
