publicly, and privately, all over the
city. Yards and lawns and sidewalks

ming-shears, clothes-iines, water,

are in urgent demand just now. for
Astoria must don her attractive gear,

They are waking to the situation ev-

all progressive means and measures
has led them to shut their eyes to
many Of the grosser elements Of

Ihe Man Inthe Wen|


 .ICopyright. 1908. by T. c. McClurel
 Deacon Jones visited the Widow Harper's well when he wanted drink and sometimes when he didn't. It was to show Mrs. Harper that he wasn't afraid of her or of Lo other old widow for five miles around She would stand fn her door with her hands on her hips and look him square in the eye with a defiant look, but the crisis was wait ing It didn't come for q year or more after the deacon drank from the well one day and turned from 1t to remark that the water was enough to turn q tadpole's stomach.
 There is no law or custom in a coun- try village that forbids widow from keeping a hog and that hog from roam ing around and picking up living the best way he can The Widow Harper owned one. He was the average vil- lage hog-no better and no worse. While she had only one the deacon had seven, but with human inconsistency he was put out that her hog had the same privileges as his He at length determined to do something about it, and the hog helped him out-that is, the porker fell asleep on the sidewalk one Thursday night, and in coming home from prayer meeting without a lantern the deacon's foot struck the porker, and both went rolling into the ditch. Next morning the boss called on the widow. and there were words. He ordered her to shut that hog up on pain of death, and she retorted that shed see him 0he deacon) in Texas first. The deacon went away and shot the hog and announced that he was ready to stand a lawsuit for damages.
 None came, however. Widows most always depend on Providence instead of on law to get even. Mrs. Harper was no exception to this rule. She simply went out and fixed" the plat form of her well and left the rest to the angels. A week later the deacon led his COW to pasture and decided that he was thirsty. He also wanted to learn why he had not been sued. He climbed the fence at the usual spot and approached the well. He was just bending over the curb to lower the bucket when the platform slid out from under his feet and he went down n distance of sixteen feet and stood in
