Fear Water Poliution.-Pollution of
city water as suggested by a physician
as a possible, even probable, result of
the stencil which continues to eman-
ate from Sylvan park. Speaking of
the matter, this physician said: Men
employed at the waterworks have told
me that the stencil from the park is at
times so strong that they can hardly
draw breath. 1t is a generally recog
niZed fact that water absorbs gases
from the adjacent atmosphere, and SO
must the water in the filter tanks be
thus exposed to all the pollution of the
| garbage dump. A glass of city water
must now contain a whole meal-at
least all the gases arising from the
stuffs which have been dumped in the
| city garbage

TO ENTER SOCIETY"
You must Have Treasure, Tsnapors
men1 and Tact.

You must Have Treasure. Tsmpora-
ment and Tact.
To enter paradise you had to be
good and you had to be dead. To
enter Nsociety you do not have to be
either. On the contrary. though what
you doh have to be il harder to tell
than 1t is to get there. But certain
requisites may be mentioned. These
are treasure. temperament and tact.
Treasure. which is the basis OF all
scrumptiousness. speaks for itself.
Temperament is more complex. Tenn
permanent Isl the art of holding your
own on the tsubject Of nothing at all
with experts who have devoted their
lives to the subject. That Is clearly
abnormal. Tact. while less unnatural,
is more abstruse. Tact Is the ability
to put your vibrations into harmony
with those OF others about you. As
pirants may be rich. righteous and
ready. yet If they lack that ability,
whatever their efforts. they are no
where. II they possess It. then. though
they be nobodies. they have only to
choose where they want to 60 and get
there-generally speaking. that Is, and
provided they are not In a hurry.
Taste is very mercantile. besides being
unbecoming.- Edgar Saltus In Broad

almost leaped clear of it only catch

man in Arkansas. A check for So
975, signed by the authorized agents
of Uncle Sans treasury department,
is the reason for his joy
Four years ago MrA Earl accumu-
lated the neat sum of $4,000. Dis
trusting the banks, he deposited the
currency in. an old pail, which he
buried. Having occasion to use
some of the money recently, he dug
up the pail, only to find his treasure
rotted and decayed to an extent that
it resembled a bunch of dried leaves.
On the advice of local bankers,
Mr.. Earl sent the decayed money to
the treasury department at Wash
ington, but he was hopeless of re-
ceiving any return, believing the cur
reney decayed beyond recognition.
The experts OF the redemption de-
partment were wiser than he
thought, however, and succeeded in
Identifying all but s25 of the SI0,-
900.
Mr.. Earl declares that one ex-
perienee of the kind is sufficient, and
hereafter he will allow the banks
to take charge of his savings.

SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS
PROMISES CHEER TAFT,
Correspondents Say Republican
Should Win Maryland, Ken
lucky, N. Carolina, Tennessee.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, July 17.-From
Democrats in Maryland, Kentucky,
Tennessee. North Carolina and Georgia
Candidate Taft is receiving letters as
surfing him that those States will give
their electoral votes to the Republican
ticket in the coming election. One
writer tells Mr.. Taft that there is hope
of his carrying Georgia. Intense feel
ing against Hoke Smiths policies in
that State is looked upon as the foun-
dation of the bitterness of Georgia
Democrats toward the election of
Bryan, as they view Bryan and Hoke
Smith as representing the same ideas.
From Maryland, especially, Mr.. TAFT
has advices from Democrats that they
expect to see the State go Republican
and that there will be many Demo-
cratic votes to help carry 1t. Man
Democratic correspondents declare that
Mr.. Bryan's nomination is doubly re-
pugnant to them because they believed
his defeat in two campaigns had dis
posed of him, and they believed there
would be a new leadership of the party
to represent what they regard as true
Democracy.
