The case against Jones & Adams,

the defendants sold the beverage in
different kinds of bottles and with
different kinds of labels. Mr.. Adams

Watering Streets in China.

The watering of the streets in China
is still very primitive business. The
water is first drawn up in baskets
from the wells by means of rope and
pulley. This sounds somewhat ridicu-
lous, but the Baskets are very close
ly woven, and, when wet, form thor
oughly serviceable vessels, possessing
the valuable quality of lightness. The
water is next carried in wooden tubs
and distributed by men armed with
basket ladies' attached to long wooden
handles, with which they splash
"spoonfuls" of fluid over the dusty
street. This crude machinery is all
the more astonishing when one re-
fleets that the Chinaman is extremely
clever in mechanical way. He is,
however, inherently conservative and

Having cleared up the dishes, Mile,
as was her custom, went to toGn for
the mail. The post office was scarcely
mile away and the walking was
good. At least her father said so. Be-
sides, he needed the two horses on the

She took roundabout way to the
post Office, because Nine. Estelle's mil
linery shop was around the corner of
the square and in the window of this
shop was the hat. 1t was such beau
tiful hat, all roses and honeysuckle on
top, and so wide as to brim as to
mark itat once as a hat of distinc-
ton.
Before the shop window she paused.
The hat was not there. Grim terror
seized her. soul. The hat was sold.
Somebody had managed to gather to-
gether the $40 for its purchase.
Even as she stood the hat came
from the shop. Beneath it was Miss
Ella Langley, whom she hated with a
bitter, enduring hatred.
Miss Langley caught her look and
sailed past with toss of the below
cred hat, and Milly abruptly turned,
choking back the tears and went to
the post Office.
How she hated Ella Langley! And
how she hated her own father who had
made this indignity possible! She hated
the whole world, and the elements
seemed in sympathy with her, for the

denly broke, and drenching rain

Il don't care" said Mile. Then she
was compelled to step aside, for be-

the hat! 1t had suddenly become a
pulpy mass, and the colors had run
down, streaking Miss Langley's face
| like that of an Indian.
Miss Langley took off the limp ruin
and seating herself on box contem-
plated 1t bitterly and burst into tears.
1t was too much for Millie. She ap-
preached and sat beside her enemy.
