GIVE THEM DRINK.
S. P. C. A. Makes Plea for Thirsty
Horses During Summer Heat.

#HH
The S. p. c. A. makes a plea for the
horses and cattle driven so hard during
the summer heat. They beg that the
drinking fountains be kept filed and
clean for these faithful servants. In this
connection, they suggest the reading OF
this little poem by Susan Coolidge.
THE OLD STONE BASIN.
In the heart Of the busy city,
In the scorching noon-tido heat,
A sound of bubbllng water
Falls on the din of the street.
1t falls In an old stone basin.
And over the cool, wet brink
The heads Of tho thirsty horses
Each moment are stretched to drink.
And peeplng between the crowdng heads,
AS the horses come and 30,
The 'Gft of Three Little Sisters
Is read on the stone below.
All! beasts are not taught letters:
They know no alphabet;
And never a horse in ali these years
Has read the words; and yet
think that each thirsty creature
Who stops to drink by the way,
Ills thanks, in his own dumb fashion.
TO the sisters small must pay.
Years have gone by since busy hands
Wrought at tho basins stone
The kindly little sisters
Are all to women grown.
! do not know their home or fate.
Or the names they bear To men.
But the sweetness OF that precious 'deet
Is just as fresh rs then,
And MI life long, and after life,
They must the happier be
For the cup OF water poured by them
When they were children three.
Susan Coolidge.

The Health Committee will meet at 5

that number OF speeches will be made
in It's favor.
q. The Retail Merchants Association has
appointed committee to appear and ad-
vocate some plan of street sprinklinE
which will relieve present conditions, and
1t Is expected that other citizens will
attend on like mission.
There are some strong advocates of
street sprnklng on the committee, and
many more in tho Council. There are
other members who do not think the city
Is in a position to take the matter up
at this time.
The discussion, however, promises to be
nearly all on one eide, and strong APP
peals will likely be made to the commit
tee to furnish the people this much needed
relief.

BROOKS A GOOD ENTERTAINER.

A good-sized audience was present
to listen to Fred Emerson Brooks, the
California Poet, OH Friday evening last.
Brooks does not make any preten-
sions to being lecturer, but between
his different poems he brought in good
thoughts, together with humorous and
pathetic ones. His delivery is fair, his
facial expression adding much to the
force of his words.
He reads only poems which he him
self composes, giving as his reason that
no one else does. Especially good was
one of his masterpieces "Sherman's
March to the Sea-" 1t depicted an old,
blind soldier relating his experiences to
a comrade at GAR reunion. Not
knowing he was talking to Gen. Sher-
man, the blind soldier proposed cheer
for the general. The other soldier re-
mained silent, when the cheer rang out.
The blind soldier then denounced him,
but when he learned he had been talk
ing to Gen. Sherman himself, he was
all broken up over his denuneiation.
The program of the evening was con-
cluded with "Watchin' the Sparkin' =
and '"Barnyard Melodies" 1t was a
very good entertainment taken all to-
gether. Yale Orchestra furnished mu-
sic for the occasion.
