The dusty yokel, worn and tasked,
Tramped to me from the road,
Gripped hands with me, and all unasked
The grateful waters flowed.

He lifted oft and drained
Its crystal waters once again,
And some new vigor gained.
And, ah! those patient beasts that brought
Their noses to my tank.
When the red sun beat tlercely not

With mighty draughts and deep until

Nor all my score of years till now
Have I once failed to cool
The thirsty lip and fevered brow
From that still ripping pool
Wherein my feet have stood. My cup
In ready hands and strong
Has dipped it's crystal waters up
So long, 80 long, so long!
But now my joints are worn and old,

My cups a-leak and will not hold

Bereft of leaf and shade,

1t Is now estimated that the losses to
the insurance companies from the San

any company will be seriously affected.
In the Chicago fire OF 1871, only forty
companies were able to pny their losses
In full, while f1fty-seven companies went
to the wall. The number of companies
was 1856, but OF this total many were 50

never figured what their total liability

Why Delay in Giving Richmond

Even before Professor sedgwck gave

for immediate action If this were a case
for private enterprise the facts VOID

Private citizens have helped already, and
stand prepared to help again, but If the
conditions nre to be radically changed
nnd permanently improved the matter
must be taken in hand by the city.
we have done many things well IN this
town and we have been able to meet and
deal with any condition that has hereto
fore arisen In our city.
There Is no doubt that a city that nret

successfully settle the problem OF pure
milk. The, sole question Is, when Will
we begin?'' @
There can be but one answer, cat

Poverty and Crime.

"Crme and vice are not the natural
consequences Of normal human impulses.
They are largely IL not almost wholly
products OF environment. Society Itself
creates the economic condition In which
the people live, and the pressure of the
means OF subsistence upon opportunity
Is such that mon arb driven out Of their
caused by inequality Of opportunity and
the lopelessness OF an unequal struggle.
More men drink because they are mis-
ernble than are miserable because they
drink and the unfortunates who lead
lives OF vice do not choose that occupa-
ton from natural preference or way
wardness Of disposition, but arc forced
to begin and to persist In such lives By
tho pressure Of conditions which make
tho earning of an honest and adequate
livelihood difficult and sometimes I'M
possible"
This Is tho observation OF Mayor Tom
Johnson, Of Cleveland. Mr.. Johnson does
not believe that the whole penalty OF
society's aggregate sin would be visited
r.
upon Its weakest sinners, nor that wholo-
sale arrests and indiscriminate fines can
do more than harden the lives and con-
dition OF those who are driven to vice
and crime as a desperate resort.
His idea Is that TO remove crimes is
better than to deal only with effects.
That is the principle upon which the

The people are responding literally to
San Francsco's appeal, and millions OF
dollars arc being sent there to relsyo
distress, 1t is hard to believe, but as
there are men mean enough to rob the dead
in the stricken city and others mean
enough to trade upon necessity and sell
food at exorbtant prices to the hungry,
so there are men mean enough TO steal
Il part of the money which is being con-
tribuated, II they can lay their hands
upon 1t. Unless proper care Is taken.
there will be rake-oifs. and much of the
money will DO diverted, In ono way or
another. Again, the fake collectors are

watched Therefore, we advise all con-
tributors to use their common sonse and
make their contributions through chan
nels which they know to'be reliable.
