ut is customary for the back door
h.y to be put halfway under the door
so that | can reach 1t when coming
off duty late at night" remarked an
artist to London Tit-Bits writer.
THE other morning at breakfast my
landlady said to me, DO you know,
had an awful fright last night. / put
the key halfway under the door, as
usual, when, to my horror, | saw it
drawn slowly out of sight. of course
thought some one had got the key and
would unlock the door and come in,
so | quickly bolted 1t and shouted
through the keyhOle, "My word, if you
don't bring that key backw Not daring
to retire to rest, sat quietly listening
for time. Then l got a table knife
and pushed it under the door to see If
the key had really been taken right
away and to my surprise drew the KEY
back again. So, very cautiously, | un-
locked and unbolted the door, looked
| out and found not burglar but our
own wicked cat, who, while sitting on
the doorstep and seeing the key pushed
| under the door must have drawn the
key out of sight with her paws, think
ing was playing with her."

The typical American, says a con-
tributor to the English Illustrated
Magazine, although partial to making
jokes, is often quick tempered and un-
able to recognize a joke made by an
other, with results that are sometimes
unpleasant.
Thus, senator was once at fash
iOnabe dinner party at Washington
when he was asked what fish he would
take.

A wit who CHANGED to be present re-
marked with a twinkle in his eye,
"Ah, senator, still place seeker?"
"Yaas," answered the senator, at the
same time whipping out revolver
and shooting the wit dead, "but what's
that to you, you dern'd strangers?
Afterward, when the joke was ex-
planned to him, the senator confessed
that he had acted rather hastily, and
to show that he bore no grudge he

THE CITY,S SPRING.

A visit to the city's spring, more
generally known as the Tucker
spring, last week, after the workmeD
had gathered more of the water into
one place, has proven that there is
plenty of water there tor the city OF
Hood River for many years. A vol
ume of pure cold water flows out from
the side of the almost perpendicular
rocky bluff which is now estimated
to be one of a halt million gallons
every twenty four hours. Before the
work was done those competent to
Judge fell satisfied that there was d
flow of at least million gallons in
the spring, but fifty per cent more
water has been uncovered. 1t IS pos
sible and very probable that more
still can be found with a proper
amount of development work. But
what water is in sight is ample for
all purposes OF the city for long
time. That being the case. 1t ia the
most available supply of water for
the city that has yet been discovered.
There are other springs farther away
which are as good, and some have
more water, but when cost of bring
ing them in Is considered, the city
could not do better, or as well, to
take up any other proposition.
Every one should visit the spring who
can do so. He should get posted for
himself as to what the situation is,
aud he should also look over the pre-
sent system which is furnishing the
city with water. Compare 1t with the
oity's spring, note the conditions
which exist and surround the private
oompany's system, take look at the
reservoir and ditch which drains into
the upper system, and Judge for him.

should not be- changed as soon as pos.
sible.

Here's hint to poultry Faisers.
One OF the Hood River ranchers had
occasion recently to use insect powder
on his chickens, and, finding 1t q
long and tedious task to pepper them
one by one, he gathered them up In
bunohes OF ten and put them in a
gunny sack, sprinkled the bunch and
then turned the gunny sack over to
work into the feathers. The chickens
looked a little indignant over the new
method Of treatment, but hens don't
appreciate the necessity for timesav

be overdone. This is erroneous. The
population of the United States ls In
crea4ing at a very rapid rate, and SO
far, owing to the high prices of fruit
only the well-to do can afford the

increased acreage prices will decrease,
