The gaunt old clerk groaned bitterly

water between the sturdy posts and
into the cut of the wall.

He dropped the body on the ground

quick, shuddering glance about. Two
men had stopped on the opposite side

AMERICAN PLANT IN INDIA.
Syndicate Takes 100000 Contract
for Retaining Flooded Lands.

Syndicate Takes 100000 Contract
for Retaining Flooded Lands.
1t is announced that an American
syndicate has taken contract for the
construction Of a feet of dredges which
will be utilized for deepening the
Jhelum River. flowing through the
north Indian valley Of Cashmere, In
dia, and preventing the annual foods
Of most disastrous nature, involving
great loss OF crops and hardships to
the people. The contract involves an
outlay of 100000.
The only method of protecting the
valley from these visitations, according
to experts, is to provide sufficient
drainage to carry off all surplus wa.
ter, and this can only be done by deep
ening and grading the Jhelum River
for many miles. American dredges
will be used, and will also be brought
into requisition for the construction
OF a twenty-hve-mile spill channel to
carry off some of the food water. This
will save the valley from the floods
and eventually reclaim some 100000
acres Of fertile soil now useless.
The cause of these floods is attrib-
uted to the tens of thousands Of goats,
which are annually permitted to in
wade the hills surrounding the valley.
These animals devour the verdure on
the hillsides and loosen huge quaint
ties Of small stones and gravel. When
the heavy rains come thousands of
tons of the disintegrated soil are
washed down into the valley, there be-
ing no vegetation to retain it, with the
result that the water courses are rap
idly sitting up and the outfall of the
river is rapidly being blocked.
For the purpose of generating cleo
trio energy to operate the dredging
plant, and also to feed with current
2OO-mile railroad TO be built, a power
plant initially equipped with 10000
horsepower of American machinery Is
being installed.
The feet will be under the supervi-
sion Of l.. A. Dosy, who was in charge
of the st. Lawrence River dredging
work He will be assisted by a num-
Der of American mechanics and line.

A Quaint Complaint.

On Mark Twain's seventy-second
birthday Hartford clergyman SAID
of him:
mo wonder he finds happiness IN
old age. All the aged would be happy
if they were as sympathetic and as
kind as he. He is constantly going
out of his way to please others, ana
the result is that he is continually
pleasing himself
Listen, for instance, to the quaint
compliment he paid me the last time
he came to hear me preach. He wait
ed for me at the church door at the
end of the service and, shaking me
by the hand, said gravely:
81 mean no offence, but feel
obliged to tell you that the preaching
this morning has been of kind that
can spare. / go to church, sir, to
pursue my own train of thought. But
today couldn't do it. You interfered
with me. You forced me to attend to
you, and lost me full half hour. l
beg that this may not occur again. =

THE SENSIBLE MAN.

Gems Of rare radiance adorn
Al rnatron's loneliness,
The silkworm from its nest is torn
That she may have a dress.
Bold divers search the ocean blue
For pearls TO grace her neck.
Admiring guests say How-dy-do,"
And father writes a check.
The music sounds throughout the hail,
Where glad, bewitching girls
Bring treasures that make wealth seem
small
Bright eyes and golden curls
The world its afiuence here has cast,
In choicest gifts to deck
The scene of beauty unsurpassed.
And father writes check.
He hears the music from afar:
Altar he scans the type
OF some dull book DER his cigar
Or maybe it's a pipe.
He's really not expected to
Respond to pleasures beck,
There's nothing much for nim to do
He simply writes a check
