HOW SHE WOULD SAVE JULIET.

Inc of Tragedy.
Mrs. Drinkwater, wife of the genial
colonel, spent some weeks last sum-
mer in northern Maine, at the comfort
able farmhouse of an honest widow,
Mrs. Brand, who adds to her income
by keeping summer boarders, says a
writer in the Boston Herald.
Recently Mrs. Brand made her first
visit to Boston, and while there met
Mrs. Drinkwater, who took her to see
Julia Marlowe in Romeo and Juliet"
Mrs. Brand had never before been to
theater. Camp meetin'" had been
her widest dissipation.
Mrs. Drinkwater's interest was
equally divided between her compan-
ion and the stage. When they left
the theater Mrs. Brand was silent.
Her usual volubility had quite desert
ed her. Mrs. Drinkwater respected
her silence, and said nothing until
they were well on their homeward
way. At last she ventured to ask:
How did you like It, Mrs. Brandt"
Mrs. Brand turned toward her, ana
the tears started to her eyes as she
said: "Oh, Mrs. Drinkwater, couldn't
help thinkin' how different that play
might have ended If the nuss had been
a different kind Of woman, and
pointed Juliet to Jesus"

Owns Wooden Legged Chicken.

Young John Farley, who lives with
his father in st. Paul, Mimi, is the
proud possessor of bantam rooster
that has the distinction of being, prob.
ably, the only chicken in st. Paul
that owns and uses wooden leg.
The rooster got caught in a cold
snap this winter and froze off the low.
er portion Of one of its legs. Young
Farley sorrowed over his pet for a
while, but later, when the leg healed,
he bethought himself of a wooden leg.
He cut out an artificial limb and put
1t on the rooster. The result was
that now he can whip any chicken in
the barnyard.

Why Bill Put on Speed.

down the mountain as fast as he could
come, and close behind him was a
large brown bear. We watched them
draw near with loaded rifles ready. On
reaching camp Bill turned and killed
the bear.
When we could control our mirth
asked, "Bill, what on earth possessed
you to run that distance, with the bear
SO close, when you might have killed
him in the mountains and saved your

Bill looked at the bear and then at

Laying a Water Pine.

| wish to conduct water in an inch
pipe distance of about 900 feet
There Is creek which crosses be-
tween the supply end and the lower
end, and the pipe would require to be
brought under it, as it Is on level, so
feet below the outlet of the pipe. How
much higher would the upper end of
the pipe have to be than the lower end
to insure free flow of water? Would
six feet be enough? The supply at
the upper end is small creek with a
good fall and by frightening the pipe
in that direction I could obtain more
fall. Should there be a tap in the
lower bend of the pipe for flushing?
The correspondent here suggests a
head of six feet for the flow of water
from the pipe from A to B. With a
head of six feet an inch pipe 600 feet,
long, the amount of flow would be
about 200 gallons per hour, provided
the pipe is kept clean and free Of OBJ.
struction. If this amount is sufficient
for the purpose to which the water Is
to be used, then it would not be neces-
sary to run the pipe any further in or
der to secure higher head. The cor
respondent must decide that matter
for himself 1t would be an improve
ment to place tap, as suggested, at
the lowest point in the pipe in order to
be able to flush 1t out if necessary.

with Saturday, there was unusual activity
at all the headquarters, and scores of meet
ings were held day and night, the proper
ton in Chicago and in the rural districts
being three republican gatherings to every
democratic and independent assemblage.
The rallies drew big crowds and the SPELL
binders were unusually eloquent. The
music was constant and the red fire burned
necessarily. 1T reminded old campaigners
of the hurrah methods of some thirty years
ago. With all the confidence they feel Of a
real victory in the state contest. the repub-
licans are only reasonably satisfied that
they will win in the local contest. Their
poll in the city and county. not quite COM
pleted yesterday, furnished figures that en-
couraged the leaders. The only unsatisfac-
tory feature Of the canvass is the large
number Of voters reported doubtful" and
the experience Of the leaders has shown
them that most of the "doubtfuls' don't
vote the straight republican ticket. The
democrats have made no poll Of the state
and no canvass of the city or county. Their
estimates as to results are based on guesses
