We got into oar Oldest clothes when
We reached home, I put ON rubber
boots, and We tackled the pool. Even
with the brook n low a. IL was the
engineering feat was NOT easy for our
unskillful hands. Peter soon Joined
us, and lent at least unlimited euthu-
siasm.
"Petef," said I. "you never worked
this hard splitting kindlings..
Peter grinned. "Ho. I like to make
dams" he said.
The first thing we did was to divert
the brook by digging q new channel
above the spot where we were to build
the dam, and letting the water fiow
around to the left, close to one of the
flower beds. Then, when the old chan
mel had dried out little, I shaded q
trench across It and two feet into the
banks on each side. and with Peter
helping. filled the trench nearly a. full
of the largest, --LATEST stones we could
find, which we all then tramped upon
to firm down. Then. q foot apart, we
stood two boards on edge across the
space. 20 make mold for the concrete
above tE~ stones. I sent Peter with q
wheelbarrnw to pick up load of small
pebbles in the road. Of the most irreg-
ular shape M could find. and myself
dug deeper in tae hole where I had got
the sand when We built the bird bath,
and brought loads Of 1t to the brook
side. We dumped sand, pebbles and
cement into blk box. one pail Of &C.
ment to one pail Of pebbles and three
of sand, and Peter and Stella fought
for the hoe to mix them, while poured
In the water from a watering pot. for
I had read and seen the reason for
the fact that the success Of the cement
depends upon every particle being
thoroughly mixed. As fast as we had
q box full OF mixture prepared, we
dumped It into the mold between the
boards. It took an astonishing guam
tity Of cement-quite all we had, In
fact-and to finish on the top smooth
and level had to get the quarter bag
left from my orchard work and the
bird bath. It was evening when we
had 1t done, and Peter, who had de-
serted us soon after dinner to play
ball, returned to beg us to take the
boards away, and grew quite unrea.
sonable when we refused.
That night there was n shower. and
the brook rose a tribe. When we
hastened down through the orchard
after breakfast the new channel had
curved itself still farther, as streams
do when once they get started of the
straight line, and had washed the
southeast flower bed half away. Stella.
with d cry Of grief, ran down the brook

WHEN Is A MAN DRUNK

The law against. drunkenness Is
more rigidly enforced in dry cities
than in wet. In a wet town a man is
not recorded as intoxicated unless he
Is found clinging to a lamp post or
holding to the grass to keep from fall
ing of the earth. whereas in dry terri
tory inability to walk a straight line or
to see a policeman a block away is
likely to land the victim in jail.

WILSON FLExiRfLITY.

We do not see why there should
have been any stir in the senate over
the discovery that President Wilson
has completely reversed himself In
the matter of the proposed child labor
law. Senator Borah was able to show
that Mr. Wilson described this legis-
lation in his Constitutional Govern
ment" as unconstitutional, an '.obvi-
ouS,y absurd extravaganza" carrying
the congressional power to regulate
commerce beyond the utmost boun-
daries OF reasonable and honest in
ference" and making it possible, IL
sustained, for congress to legislate
over every particular OF the indus
trial organization and action of the
country. That, we must confess, has
also been the Evening Posts view.
But the Evening Post and Senator
Borah are old fogies, dating back to
the time when it was the custom to
have fixed beliefs and principles and
stick to them. The senator has evil
IDENTITY not read Mr.. Wilson's letter In
explaining his change Of front en- the
tariff eommission-that 1t is only q
marrow man, whose mind. is stupidity
closed to new ideas. who does not
alter his opinions. BY this test, Mr..
Wilson Is. obviously one of. the broad
est minded men this country has ever
produced, for he has changed his
mind, to date, on the initiative, refer
endum, recall, woman suffrage, the
tariff commission, tariff for revenue
only, a permanent diplomatic service
beyond politics, the merit system In
the civil service, the proper place of

come through from various sources.
II Is battle OF munitions rather than
men and the losses have been much
smaller than have been reported from

dence obtainable II appears that the
Germans gathered an immense force
of artillery, but not great army on
