WILLIE,S PA.


Ny pa he says when he was small
Not half SO big as me
He never was afraid at night
OF anything he'd see;
An when the wind moaned in the trees
An sounded like a ghost,
Pa says he'd drop right off to sleep,
An pa he wouldn't boast.
Pa says he liked to go to school
An knowed his lessons, too;
An never would cut up an laugh
Out loud like some boys do
An pa says he would sooner thought
OF scratohin' out his eyes,
Than throwin' stones at window panes
An tellin' ugly lies.
Pa says he did lot of chores
An waited on his ma,
An never stole no jam at all,
Ner cookies from the jar;
An when his pa said, Don't do that
My pa he never would
An he was called the incest boy
In all the neighborhood.
I wish I could be like my pa
When he was little, too,
An knowed just what was best for him
An what was wrong to do.
My ma don't never say word
When pa says he want bad;
She just sits down an laughs at him
Till pa gets awful mad.

DOUGLAS MAY BE
 COMPELLED TO HOLD OFF
(International American.1


 AS was stated in the International several days since, it is probable that the taking over of the water plant. as authorized in the city election for that purpose will have to be postpon- ed until after congress shall meet. Such was the contention of some at the outset, including City Attorney Lockwood, and such appears to be the case from the correspondence thus far had with the bond buyers. This does not mean that the plant will not be taken over, but merely means few weeks delay for the pro ject, which will undoubtedly be car ried out just as originally planned.
 The United States statutes are clear upon the case of. where public util- ity is to be taken over from com pany by a municipality in any terri tory and the statute clearly affects the present situation in Douglas. even though the buyers of the Globe water works bonds did see fit to forego the consent of congress and passed the bonds with the expectation and in an ticipation of an enabling act of con gress. At the time of the taking over of a water plant by Globe the wait ing for the consent of congress meant a long delay and time was so essen tial that the bond buyers were willing to take the issue and wait until The coming session of congress for an CT. abling act and subsequent ratifi' cation.
 In the case of Douglas it is differ ent. Congress will assemble next month in regular session and tdere ID reason why al enabling act should not be passed in advance of the issu ance of and payment for the bonds so that all may be stright and abso Iutely legal from the very inception to the culmination of the project.
 Letters have been received ia th' city which indicate that this is the course the bidders on the Douglas water bonds desire and vii pursue Thus 1t may be, probably vii be, ne cessary to obtain further extension Of the option until congress shall pas' the enabling act at the coming ses sion.

BOY BUILDS BI6 TELESCOPE
studious Wisconsin Lad Gains Fame Among Astsonomers and scl-
 entists by Work.

Madison. Wis.-John E. Mellisn. the Cottage Grove boy, whose amateur astronomical observations with a small six-inch telescope of his own manufacture resulted in the discovery of a new comet which bears his name, has just completed new telescope with a 161z-inch lens, which is the same size and of the same power as that in the Washburn observatory at the University of Wisconsin.
 Such an instrument would cost S2,400 if purchased from the manu- lecturers. but by laboriously grinding his own lenses by hand and building the entire structure of the machine himself, young Mellish spent only $50 for materials. He is preparing to study the Haley comet with his new telescope
 MeIIish intends to make astronomy his profession, but will not give ul the making of instruments. His dis coyery of the Mellish comet two years ago brought him medals from the as tronomical societies of America and Mexico.
