Water erFamine!

1t is with regret that this Company
is again called upon to warn it's pa
irons in the careful use of water. Our
storage supply is completely exhaust
ed, so that we are pumping into our
reservoirs alone the daily supply run
ming from our streams, which is di-
minishing day by day. Many rains
fallen in Annapolis have passed by our
wter sheds entirely. A personal in
spection of our plant reveals the fact
that our supply TODAY is lower than
at any time during the drouth of last
year.
1t is ABSOLUTELY IMPERA I'VE
that all street and lawn sprinkling be
discontinued. While the public has
cordially co-operated with the Com
pany towards this end, it is regret
able fact that some persons till con-
tinue to sprinkle their lawns gardens
and streets, utterly unmindful of the
injury they are working the com
munity.
No charge will be made for street
or lawn service from July /, 1911, un-
til further notice.
1t is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE
that this appeal be STRICTLY and
HONESTLY OBSERVED.

Waiahina the Mayor.

A mayor. particularly an English mayor, is additionally man of weight and substance. but there is only one municipality that insists that his hon. or get on the public scales and prove it. Of the thousands of quaint and cue rious customs surviving in "the old country this is perhaps one of the most odd The mayor of High Wy combe has to be weighed on Nov. 9 of each year, inauguration day, and this custom has been observed for about six centuries. The mayor elect walks at the head of a procession consisting of the councillors, the beadle and the mace bearer. He is clad in cooked hat, silk stockings, blue coat and knee brooches. Upon reaching the town hall the mayor is placed upon the scales by the head constable, and record of his avoirdupois is solemnly made ina book kept for this purpose. .- Harper's Week

 A oistern is being made at the Bap. tist parsonage to conserve the water from the roofs, thus giving an ample supply of soft water for all purposes for which soft water Is needed. It ii surprising that all country houses do not have these oisterns. They are not difficult to make. now that Port land cement Is so easy to obtain aud is so reasonable in price. Of course they represent some work, but so doel every thing worth having.

 Among the notices at the Baptis church Sunday morning was one in viting the memb bers of the church tt meet at the hall, South Wilmington on Saturday, the 21st inst to con sider the advisability of inviting tn, Congregational church to affiliat with them in Sunday services and il all auxiliary societies, as shall b agreed upon between the two bodies This move has often been discussed but no formal move taken to bring about. The Baptist church member will please keep this date and thi meetirg in snind and mako point c being present, as an affiliated oburc would solve problem in many coun try towns, and the step is certainly i the line of progress.
 The New Years party was a success although postponed. There was no as large an attendance as on som, previous occasions, but many wh' could net come were represented by contribution, and the gift for the be lcvsd pastor and his no less beloved wife was $11O, the largest sum eve realized at a New Years party sin tn history of the church.

A Good aluM.

He was young and had just gradu- ated from law school His resources were exhausted, but he bravely swung forth his shingle and waited. But no clients stopped on that side of the street. His office rent was due, and his clothes were becoming shiny, but he went to his office with regularity that would indicate a thriving prac- tice. He was deep in an imaginary ease, and when the authorities were all noted and arguments prepared ne started forth downtown and thrashed the mayors son, whom he met in the street. The act aroused the righteous indignation of the townsmen, and ne faced an angry court But in his tes timony he was able to include sharp attack on the mayor and his admins tration. He quoted law from Lycur gus and Solon and gave them the page, number and chapter every time The case was continued and sent up to a higher court. At last 1t reached the supreme bench, and the young man made the most of his opportunity to show his ability as a lawyer He lost the case and paid his fine cheer fully, for he had established for him self a practice which assured his fH ture.-Joe Mitchell Chapple in National Magazine.

The Tombiuhee.

ssDO you know the origin of the name of the Tombigbee riverw asked the well informed man. Well" he went on, "lt is Choctaw, every syl- lable, only the word is not '@Tombig- bee;' 1t is "Tom-bi Ik-bi,' two words, the f being short in each instance. Long ago Choctaws inhabited the sec tion now embraced within the states of Mississippi and Alabama and trav. ersed by the stream that song was about. Nearly century ago a white mana carpenter-came among the Indians. He lived on the banks of the stream and among other things made rude cof1ns for burials. Indians at that time buried" their dead upon an arbor supported by poles, but they gradually came to the white mans custom of burying in earth and went @n the white man carpenter to get their boxes. From this incident, am told, the stream received its name 'Tom-bi' meaning box and Ik-bi' meaning make or maker, only they added the word 'bok,' which signifies river or creek, so, literally translated, the combination means the river where lives the man that makes box es.' Time as well as the Anglo-Saxon disposition to round corners in pro nunciation Anglicized "Tom-bi Ik-br into 'Tombigbee. Wichita Eagle.
 An inconsistency.
 There Is strange inconsistency in "Hamlet.' It is where Hamlet speaks of ''the undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveller returns," and yet the play hinges largely upon the fact that he has had interviews with his fathers ghost, who had, of course, come back from the undiscov- cred country

NICE SCHEME CREDITED

Said to Have Planned a Building to
Be Rented to City or

Some OF the Bronx Tammany district
leaders who revolted when Charles II.
Murphy opposed the proposed Bronx
County bill are said to be Interested In
an office building project now before the
Sinking Fund Commission.
They proposed renting office space to
the city In a building to be erected at
the northwest corner OF Arthur and
fremont avenues, Bronx. Leader Ar.
thur Murphy was a candidate for Bor-
ough President when the plan WAS con-
ceived. II cropped up again when the
Bronx County bill was sent to Albany.
The projectors, II IL alleged. figured
that n the county bill were defeated the
city would become a tenant. and n the
bill was adopted II would equally be.
come deslrabis for county office pur-
poses.
When the nrst invitation wal scnt
to the Sinking Fund 26.5OO SQUARE feet
OF office space were offered the city
az a rental OF N.2o a square FOOT.
This was later cut down to rs cents
a square foot. The city now pays 90
cents a square foot for space IN the
Walter Building In the Bronx.
The matter will come up at the next
meeting OF the sinking Fund Commits
sion. There IL little likelihood OF IN,
orer being accepted. Its originator
are not pushing It. The building has
not been erected. Having resigned
