But when the four girls grew up
and no one, as Mrs. Dallas had so
confidently hoped, came to ask the
squire for one of his little golden
haired daughters, still less for the
tall, dark girl who was such blot
upon the family, then Mrs. Dallas
began to question the wisdom of
Providence, and to think that,
after all, fate had been partic-
ularly hard upon her.
~ never thought of such
thing as that my daughters would
not marry she exclaimed one
day, when money was very short
and expenses particularly heavy.
ct IS an awful affection to have
four girls-four unmarried young
women-to take everywhere, do
everything for, dress suitably to
their position, keep open house for,
and generally try to get them off.
After all, boys would have been
better
"My dear, you haven't got
boys" said the squire, "and so
it S no use arguing that point. "
"No, no, of course it ism t; you
are so wise, William. But, OIL
William, it s dreadful having to
dress four girls. "
"Well, how much do you want"
said William, who had never re-
fused his wife anything that he
possessed, and who frankly could
not understand her hesitancy in
asking him for any necessary
check.
81 could make do with fifty
pounds said she. cit S only ten
pounds each; there are five of us,
you know, William.
"Oh, well, L will manage to
screw out a bit more. I'm sure
you are very careful Heydeyl"
with a sigh-"i if we only had a
little of the money my fore-elders
gambled and wasted"
elf only I had had four boys
instead of four girls, who could
have gone out into the world and
made their own way, sighed the
wife.

Olive went ON grumbling, that

his father was before him. -
'Perhaps, if you had been called

liked your name as little as mother
likes hers,' Rose went on.
"What is the matter with

Yes, but mother was never
called Elizabeth; she was called
Lizzie at home and Betty by her

DRAINAGE MENAcEs ICE CROP.
bitches Of Northern Iowa Interfere
With Natural Ice Fields

Des Moincs, Dec S.-That the drain
age bitches of northern Iowa have
damaged the ice business of Des
Moines alone TO the extent of 100000
was declared by w. w. Wise manager
of the Consumers Ice Company. while
at the city hall yesterday afternoon.
. Furthermore. Mr.. Wise stated that the
continued building of these bitches viii
wipe out the natural ice business in
this and other cities along the Dies
Moines river within a very short time.
The cause of the heretofore unpre-
cedented rise in the river at this time
of the year is attributed by Mr.. Wise
entirely to these bitches built for the
draining of ponds and sWampy places
in the farm lands of this state. He
said that with the river at its present
stage a month of 10 below zero wealth
er would be required Ia freeze il suf
ticiently for an ice harvest
In substanti9ation of his claim THAI
the new drainage is eliminating the
natural ice business of this city. Mr..
Wise pointed to the case of his Own
Company. To make up the shortage on
natural ice. Il plant has been installed
for the manufacture of artificial ice
