The DUMB WAITER
1t Played a Low Down Trick on
the Master of the House.
A HOT TIME ON A COLD NIGHT.

The Trouble Was the Direct Result OF
Thirsty Mans Craving For Drink
and His Dogged Persistence In At

One OF the old time humorous writ
ers was "Sparrowgrass," and the fol.
lowing account of his adventure with
a dumb walter gives u good idea Of his
amusing style:
One evening Mrs. s. had retired
and was busy writing when 1t struck

pitcher and went down to the pump.
Our pump is in the kitchen. A coun.

First | had to open a bolted door
that let's you into the basement hall,
and then | went to the kitchen door,
which proved TO be locked. Then | re.
membered that our girl always car.
rted the key TO bed with her and slept
with 1t under her pillow Then l re-
traced my steps, bolted the basement
door and went up into the dining room.
As is always the case, found when
could not get any water l was thlrstIer

thought ! would wake our girl up.
Then | concluded not to do 1t. Then
thought Of the well, but gave that
up on account OF its flavor. Then ]
opened the closet doors. There was no
water there. Then | thought Of the
dumb waiterl The novelty Of the idea
made me smile. I took out two OF the
movable shelves, stood the pitcher on
the bottom Of the dumb waiter. got in
myself with the lamp, let myself down
until l supposed l was within a foot
of the door below and then let 60.
We came down so suddenly that

A WONDERFUL STREAM.
The Mississippi River, Its Magnitude
and the Area II Drains.

The Mississippi river, lying wholly
within the temperate zone, is In this
respect more fortunately situated than
the more fertile valleyed Amazon, since
the climate here, varied and sometimes
inhospltable as It Is, offers conditions
OF human development there denied.
The main stream is $500 miles in
length-that Is, about ten times that
Of the Seine. AS Mark Twain has said,
II Is "the crookedest river in the
world, travelling 1900 miles to cover
the same ground that crow would
fly over in 675. For several hundred
miles 1t Is mile In width. Back in
1882 1t was seventy miles wide when
the flood was highest
The volume Of water discharged by
II into the sea is second only to the
Amazon and is greater than that Of
all European rivers combined (omittlng
the Volga). The amount Is estimated
at 1870 cubic miles annually-that is, II
would I'LL annually tank 130 miles
long. 1870 miles wide and 1870 miles
high. With Its tributaries It provides
somewhat more than 10000 miles Of
