ed away. It made q channel almost as wide and as deep as the ditch, which has cost over S22,000 It craw- fished it's way over the 200 feet of un- dredged space, crossed the Base Line Road, and then dug It's way for several hundred feet north of the road, and still is industriously digging away night and day.
 Here is a peculiar feature of the af- fair. The creek. before the ditch was started, was too shallow to perform effectually drainage function for the hundreds of acres of land adjacent. "A farmer could not well drain his land into the creek, for if the tile were sunk to the ordinary depth the outlet in the creek would be below the level of the stream. The transformation that the waterfall in the little creek has worked has completely changed the situation, That part over which the water has washed q deeper channel now has bottom from one to two feet below the outlet of the line of drain tile that leads to the banks, so that the farm CTS who wereasked to pay S2,0OO may nov dig trenches, lay drain tile. and drain their surplus water into the lit- tie creek that, by it's own industrious work, has created one of the finest drainage ditches in Illinois.

cording to the Incorporation paers, the
 ditch was to start from the center of
 what is known as the Base Line Road.
 North of this road there is some low
 land capable of being drained and sav- ed for agricultural purposes.
 The ditch diggers used the course of Rob Roy Creek, widening and deepen- ing it so as to make 1t draln all the
 land that held surplus of water The
 drainage district, knowing that the
 land owners north of the road would greatly be benefited by the digging of
 the ditch, asked them to pay $20OO to- ward the construction of the canal, but they declined to do SO on the ground that the amount was excessive. When the farmers refused to aid the drain- age authorities then changed the plan of the ditch so that it would be start ed 200 feet south of the Base Line Road, thus leaving an undredged sec ton between the head of the ditch and the land of one of the north end farm CTS.
 A great basin was scooped out of the bed of Rob Roy Creek and in it was set q big dredge boat which worked its way down the creek for a distance of five miles, digging the ditch as it moved.
 But it was not long after canal was started that Rob Roy Creek, above the head of the, ditch, got busy. The bed of the stream is of a sandy substance, and the water began washfner the eaDd down into, the big hole where the dredge boat had got it's start There the little waterfall began its freakish stunt It scooped out the soft soil on each side of 1t and washed away its own bottom and sent 1t in roily stream down into the big dlth Grad lally the waterfall moved itself back ward up the creek, cleaning out every hing that was capable of being wash l

My sport Lowing Hedrehor.

In the south of France I met a num- Der of wandering Americans like my
 self, in the summer of 1892. Time was
 hanging heavy on our hands and we
 were looking for recreation. One of the party suggested game of baseball,
 but We had no ball, and the matter was forgotten, l only of all the crowd re- membered. I made up my mind that We should have that game and set every one at work making bats. They laugh ed at me, knowing that the bats would be of no service without a ball, but I kept my own counsel While the bats were being made I journeyed into the woods until 1t was my good fortune to capture hedgehog, which trained, as shall afterward appear. On a beautiful clear day l called my friends together and told them that now they might bring their bats--we would have our game. They brought the bats incredu- lously and I brought my hedgehog. They chose sides, and I stepped into the pitchers box with my hedgehog. Play ball!" I shouted, Instantly the hedgehog rolled himself up tightly, and struck the whole side out before they recovered from their surprise. We used the hedgehog many times af- ter that and always won, for surreptI- tiously had taught him to make his own curves.

between a sweet potato and a tish--and
 one of the finest specimens 1 have ever
 owned. It happened that we had an or- ehestra aboard to while away the lone
 some hours, and I played first mando- lin. One day my mandolin was dropped by lttbber who ought to have been a piano mover and smashed to pieces. 1 was inconsolable and wept for hours at time, my pet seal watching me sym pathetlcally. One day as the orchestra was about to play without me he crept into my arms, stiffened his body to rig idness and winked at me. In an instant knowing animals so we'll realized that he was trying to help me, in hls iislly way. You may believe this or not, as you choose, but I strung up that seal, looping the strings around his tail and letting him hold the tuning ends in his teeth, and played as I never had played before.

My Intelligent Lemmlng.

While journeying through Norway in
 the year 1897 looking for icebergs I came across an animal trainer who handed me lenming-a small, arvIco- line rodent, commonly known as the field mouse. Although I had been hand
 ed plenty of Jennings, took this lem ming home with me and set out to train it. l soon discovered that this lemming was person of bilious mor- als, for he used to go into grain fields and without compunction steal grain from the stalk out of season l deter mined to correct him in this respect and to that end began feeding him a diet of oatmeal raw eggs and skim milk, remembering that the same diet given me by q stomach specialist had once cured me of all riotous desires. In two weeks I noticed that he no longer yearned for nocturnal strolls; in three weeks he would not look at a grain of any sort; in one month I found him

PRINCE Random, A
HUMAN ROULETTE BALL.

Prince Random, the wonderful
armless and legless West Indian, en-
Joys life more than many men who
were born with their full quota of
limbs He has happy wife and two
bright children. He is by no means
helpless and accomplishes a great
deal with shoulders, teeth, lips,
tongue and chin. 1t is hard to be-
lieve that he successfully shaves
himself every day with an ordinary
razor, not supplied with any safety
devices, that he rolls, lights and
smokes cigarettes with ease and en-
joyment and does many other things
which would not be expected of him.
He does them all, however, and right
in the presence of the many audi
ences who go to see him at Steeple-
chase, the Funny place of Coney ISL
and, where he is now appearing.
This week, however, he dared to
try his skill at Human Roulette, a
new game invented by George G..
Tilyou, owner of Steeplechase park,
and came off with flying colors.
Many men with arms and legs have
come off the wheel with colors and
everything else flying, this season
The machine is big circular, table
of polished wood, which revolves
by electrical motor force, and as the
speed increases the human roulette
balls are thrown on While it is
perfectly safe, it looks perilous and
many a visitor has not sufficient
courage to try it.
Random had heard so much about
the Human Roulette from visitors to
his pagoda that he instructed his
valet to carry him to the wheel. All
others were excluded, SO that they
might not tumble over this strange
atom of humanity. Random was
placed in the center and the move
ment began. He laughed as the
speed increased and howed with joy
as he was swiftly slid from the table
by centrifugal force. Once was
enough, however, as one really needs
arms and legs, and could use twice
as many as they have, to make a
success of Human Roulette.
There are only two attractions at
Steeplechase, which the Demararian
wonder cannot enjoy, the swimming
pool and the skating rink.

rotary. The association met every
Thursday evening.
Before leaving the old camps of
Treasure hill and Hamilton I will
say again that on every dump in the
district are thousands upon thou
sands of tons of ore yet untouched
that can and will be worked at
profit. The old tailings dumps and
Stag piles have never had 25 per
cent of the values taken out and to-
day one pile of Stag, situated way
down in Shermantown canyon is be-
ing packed on the backs of mules to
where it can be loaded onto wagons
and hauled to the railroad and trans
ported to the smelters to again be
worked.
Had / couple of millions of dol
lars | would double them by COM
ing here and taking chance with
the men who have lived on expecta-
lions for over a generation and make
their old age brighter, and turn ar
honest dollar or two to MY own ac-
count. Any camp that can ship ore
900 miles and a part of the way
over a rough wagon haul and pay SIS
per day for labor should be able with
modern machinery for reducing ores
| to make a record for itself now that
will startle the world. There are
sections of territory in Nevada where
millions of dollars have been spent
where there is not a pound of ore
'.in place" nor any chance of ever
| getting ore.
There are men with money who
have their eye on this district and
will make the wheels go round" be-
fore long. They are not coming
with brass bands and steamers but
are coming for one purpose and that
purpose is to. dress the district in
a suit of prosperity and make three
dollars for themselves for every one
put in.
| hear you say twill he never
uuit?" So | will leave the story but
half told say goodnight and pre-
pare for hard day tomorrow.

was rich in silver but on the 200
it carries but ten ounces.
The lease was purchased but two
months ago from the Belcher syndi-
cate. The officers of the company are

BUT NOT FOR USE
Americas Has Had This Equip

Some practical joker gave credu-

hot sun yesterday by reporting the
arrival of eight electric cars at the
electric plant, and forthwith several
hundred of the unemployed took an
hour off from the chair heating job
and went down to see the equip
ment. The cars were really there all
right enough, and had been there
for a dozen years. They are heri-
tage left by the former company
which built in Americas the first
electric street railway in the State
of Georgia, a fact of which we are
still proud. The cars are types of
that period; antiquated little rat traps
and will form no part of the SPLEEN

ganization, the Americas Railway &
Light Co., will send speeding through
our streets within the next six

brought by Mrs. Angelina Rawlings
against the. Mutual Benefit Life Insur-
ance Company, of this city, and both

Mandate of the Council Will Ex-

Within two days, forty-eight hours,
exactly, the city council will turn in
the gright light of day where now
stands those ancient Instructions to
the light, the. sheds at Minis corner
and artesian corner. At the last
meeting of the council peremptory no.
,tice was given the shed owners to
remove them within ten days, else the
mailed fist of the city would be
felt in their immediate demolition.
But evidently the shed owners did not
take the matter seriously, as, the old
sheds still stand, and will probably
be there when the city gets ready to
tear them down. By the way, there
are a half dozen rotten old sheds on
Cotton avenue, long ordered removed,
but which are still standing on the
exempted list.

ARE GIVEN
LITTLE MORE GRACE
Have Until Oct. LIST to Dispose
of Old Stocks.

Americus grocers, some of whom
perhaps have not entirely disposed
of portions of their stocks that do
not conform to the Pure Food Laws,
will be given a few days more of
grace wherein they may clear their
shelves of such articles as are put
under the ban.
The following letter from Commits
sioner Hudson upon the subject ex-
plains itself:
To whom it may concern:-Many
letters coming in to the Department
of Agriculture from country mer-
chants, grocers and others make it evil
dent that many have misunderstood
the law, and have not yet cleared their
shelves of all goods which may posi-
bly, not comply with the requirements
of the new Food and Drugs Act of
Georgia, which became effective Aug
ust LIST.
In order that we may work no
hardship on any one, we advise that
all such goods be disposed of prompt
ly, and that in future cur home .mer-
chants enter in no contracts and
parchase@ goods without specifying
and requiring that they be guaranteed
by the seller under the National and
State Food and Drugs Act.
After the first day of October we
shall expect to find every one pre-
pared to met the most rigid require
ments of the law. Very truly yours,
T. G. HUDSON,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
