His Prayer Answered.

A suburbanite is fond of telling this
story of his five-year-old son Bobby.
Being of an inquiring turn Of mind the
youngster one day managed TO turn
on both faucets in the bathtub TO see
what would happen. II chanced that
the stopper was I'm place, and the tub
> being a small one, rapidly filled up
TO the great delight of Bobby. Finally
however, the tub became so full that
it threatened To overflow on TO the
floor, and Bobby, having a proper re-
spect for the maternal slipper, became
frightened and tried yainly TO turn of
the water. Being unable to for some
reason, he gazed tearfully at the ever
rising food, and then, mindful both
of his religious training and the occa-
sional visits OF the plumber, he
plunged down on bis knees, and his
elder sister, who happened to be pass
ing at the moment, heard him exclaim
fervently:
20 Lord please stop this water run
ming; And, o Lord, If you can't do IT
please send somebody that can!"
His prayer was answered, for his
sister rose TO the occasion and turned
off the water and temporarily saved
Bobby from the much-feared slipper

Cyclones Not the Worst Peril.

There is growing an unnecessary
amount of excitement among the peo-
pie regarding storms, as il is clearly
shown by statistics that fewer per-
sons lose their lives by storms than
by any other cause. The writer has
lived in Texas thirty years and has
never been blown away yet. There
are more people killed in railway acci-
dents, by drowning. unloading guns,
lightning, etc, than by cyclones, yet
people ride on trains without the least
fear. They will build their houses on
the banks of streams, and sleep until
the floods rush down upon them; but
when the word cyclone is mentioned,
all lose ther wits and fee for refuge.

DOG MAKING OWNER RICH.
Story Of Wonderful Four Footed
Ginseng Hunter of Indiana.


Roy w. Emig and Leon J. Cox of
this city are much interested in a
story which comes from near their
ginseng patch. Ii is story of dog
that hunts ginseng, and If they can
buy this dog for reasonable figure
they say they will do so.
The dog is owned by a Brown
county man who is getting rich mere
ly by waiting 10 hear the dog bark.
The dog goes into the woods and
sniffs. II can smell ginseng a mile,
the owner says, and as soon as gin
seng root is found the dog begins
barking as if it had treed a coon. All
the owner has 10 do is to follow the
dogs bark, dig up the ginseng root
and take il TO market.
When the root is not too deep the
dog does the digging, stores the gin
seng in its mouth, takes It home and
deposits ii at the feet of its master.
The owner of the dog is having an ca
sy time. He sicks the dog on the gin
seng industry and the dog is making
him rich. The dog is said TO never
make a failure and on that account
the local ginseng magnates are anX-
ious TO talk business 10 the owner Of
the animal.-Columbus correspond.

LoNpoN's EMPTY HOUSES.
Shifting Population Makes $15o, ,ooo, 900
Worth Of Property Idle.

A wonderful shifting is taking place
in the population of London. lncreas-
ed travelling facilities are taking ten
ants from the older property in the
metropolis 10 the suburbs, and the mi
grafton has been so sudden that the
vacated property has not yet changed
IT'S status in acceptance with new con-
ditions. The 80, coo empty houses, rep
resenting $3.50. 100000 worth OF idle
property, are still advertised ITO Let
with an almost monthly diminishing
rate OF rent.
According 10 statistics recently Sc
cured by the local government board,
Whitechapel has 250 vacant dwellings,
Wimbledon has COO, Shoreditch has 45O.
Paddington has $50, Dulwich has 750,
Hampstead has 500, Noting Hill has
$50, Stepney has 500, Marylebone EAST
and Vest has 700, Westminster has
200, etc. Inquiries made revealed that
10 percent of these vacant houses are
at rentals of $40 To Gao, originally
costing $3.50 each; 80 percent rent Gi0
10 $50. costing G5e9; 10 percent rent
eco to $40, costing $3.50 each; 10
percent rent G70 TO Gl00, costing
e1500 each; and 10 percent rent Gl20
and upward, costing on the average
GlS00 each
Thus, although the tide is setting
away from London's densely populat-
ed districts, II is poor satisfaction TO

he could take that hour of at any
time he saw fit. Officer Patterson ac-
cepted the order and promised to full
fill 1t.
At $50 the wife, who feared for
her safety at the hands OF her sick
husband. telephoned Chief O'Neil
that no officer had reported. At
G:30 Patterson had still failed to re-
port at the home. Officer Perry Rog-
ers then FASTENED to the home, and
accompanied her and her husband
to Rio Grande train No. 6, and saw
that the woman and the drink-crazed
man were comfortably quartered in
sleeping car.
Officer Patterson was found at the
depot he was called on the carpet by
Chief O'Neil and asked the reason
for his failure to obey an order and
thus, in the opinion OF the chief. to
a certain extent allow woman's life
to be placed in jeopardy.
1t is said that Patterson replied

Chief O'Neil, angered at the ap-

such actions on the part of an Off
Ger greatly hurts the police protec-

Officer Patterson. He declares that,

obeyed. then there is no need of a
police force. He had given Officer
Patterson an important assignment.
had received his promise to perform
the work, depended upon him and
then found that the order had been
wholly disregarded. Therefore Chief
O'Neil holds that Officer Patterson
has been guilty of a serious violation
of his cath OF office and betrayed his
