The Quarrel.

LEDGES first step toward pick

Bendix down to round up the
Third ward and then to lock
himself in the presidents room Of the
First National for an hour. at the end
of which time he sent for Davis,

he added apologetically. You know We

Il suppose you'll fix US up with a
temporary acknowledgment Of some
sort and be ready to turn over some
securities in that time
ANY way you say" agreed Sledge
indifferently. and fell again to such
deep musing that he did not hear
Davis elaborate explanation of how
the thing would be managed.
Presently Davis, who carried a peni-
Tertiary sentence to bed with him ev-
cry night in case anything happened to
Sledge before morning, brought him
some papers to sign, and the felony
was committed-simply, neatly and
with no apparent effort.
Sledge, bearing his certificate of de-
posit, went over to the Merchants
bank, where he transacted a little
equally expeditions business with Pres
ident johnson, who with his forehead
corrugated like a washboard, took
Sledge's check and gave him a receipt
for It; then the boss went to see Boz

Sledge smiled. 1t was like the gri-
mace Of man In the electric chair.
But the worst is vet to come per-
sisted Bendix, beginning to have GER

ganization left to act as pallbearers."
Sledges chin sank little lower on
his collar. He had never permitted
the shadow of defeat to touch even the
hem of his coat, but now its dimness
seemed very close to him. and in that
shade there was chill.
Adolph brought in letter. square

jerk of his thumb and started to

moment Of reflection he passed it ST.

Sledge opened It mechanically and
drew out neatly engraved cars, wu.cr

Cumberland To Get A New Industry.

The Kelly-Springfield Tire Company'S
new plant will be built in Cumberland,

notified George g. Young, secretary Of
the Chamber OF Commerce, that the offer
OF Cumberland 10 give free site and
$3.50, 900 bonus had been accepted by the
board of directors OF The company. The
plant will be located just outside what
is now the Cumberland city limits, on the
Bopp farm, and will require about one
and a-half years to erect. 1t will employ,
within six months after starting, 5000
men, and within IS months will employ
at least 5000. Cumberland is 10 raise
the money 10 pay the bonus while the
plant is being erected and must have the
entire amount before it's completed. The
erection Of the plant means an extension
of the city limits and the building OF
streets, sewers, retaining walls along the
Potomac river and other Improvements,
which will give employment TO many men
for several years TO come. The plans
for the plant, which have already been
prepared. require moving tracks Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad over against
the mountain, which the railroad has
agreed to do, and which will also require
an outlay of money that will give employ
ment to many. Cumberland citizens are
pleased at the announcement, as the
coming of the plant with its annual outlay
for wages will double the present payroIls
of Cumberland.

Require But Little Water.

The water question with troops on the
march and in the field is one OF greater
difficulty than civilians know. In few
ways does the superior effectiveness OF
hard and regularly trained troops show
above raw or unframed troops than in
the matter OF water discipline. The regu-
lar American soldier will make a days
march on his canteen OF water. II he
has been in the service long he will carry
his rifle, ammunition and pack over a
shadeless, dusty road. through swelter-
ing day, and come 10 The end OF The march
in FIT physical condition. He has learned
10 make that canteen OF water answer his
needs. II may have been hard lesson
TO learn, but he has learned it.
When The soldier has learned 10 do
with the minimum of water he ministers
to his comfort and health. Cutting down
the water below the real needs OF his
body causes the man TO lose flesh. but in
very large number Of instances this is
beneficial, most well-fed men having flesh
TO spare. II is better for man 10 be dry
on march than TO be always guzzling
water. To be "water wise" is one Of
the accomplishments OF good soldier.
Much less water is required by The
human system than most men think, and
troops from hot and dry countries march
and campaign on a surprisingly small
amount A writer telling Of the Beluchis,
several regiments OF whom are with the
Indian contingent of the British army in
France and Flanders, has said Of them:
"Their most extraordinary physical
characteristic is the faculty with which.
camel like, they can for so long time 90
without drink in their burning county-a
draft of water once in the "a hours is suf-
ficient."

Defends The Old Barn Owl.

The old-fashioned barn owl, maligned
OF man for generations, has found de-
fender right in the capital of the United
States. The defender is no less person
than DR.. A. K. Fisher, of the biological
survey, the governments foremost au-
thority on owls.
DR.. Fisher for more than 25 years has
been studying the habits OF the barn owl,
and the particular family whose history
he has been observing is domiciled in the
greattower of the Smithsonian Institution.
During all these years DR.. Fisher has in
sisted that one OF the tower windows be
left open so that the strange birds might
have easy exit and entrance. He declares
that the result of his observations of the
habits OF many generations OF these birds
fully justifies his defense OF their rights
as tenants OF the great scientific inStitu-
ton.
DR.. Fishers conclusions concerning the
barn owl have been reached as result
OF daily visits TO the Smithsonian tower
during more than quarter OF a century.
He examines the little balls OF feathers,
fur and bones which the owls disgorge
after they have eaten all OF the digestible
portions OF the prey. This rather in
delicate method of research has shown
that the owls have captured hundreds OF
rats and mice during their nightly mean
derings through the grounds of the Mall
and the Capitol. They do by night a
service similar TO patrol duty done in
the daytime by hawks. Were il not for
the work in alternate shifts OF these police
birds, man would virtually be eaten off
the face OF the earth by rats and mice,
DR.. Fisher says.
DR.. Fisher declares without hesitation
that the barn owl, or monkeY-faced owl,
is bird OF the highest character, deserv-
ing mans protection and friendship,
instead of obloquy and scorn. This is
the same species OF bird that Gray in his
eIegy describes as "the moping owl that
to the moon complains"

The Birds And The Fire.

This is an Indian legend that tells us
how greatly some Of the birds have
changed since those early days when
they could talk and do other things that
men do. In those days, for example, the
wren was the bravest OF birds, the crow
was white, the owl had sharper eyes than
the eagle, and the turkey had feathered
head, such as most other birds have.
The story goes that one cold day in
winter some OF the birds wanted TO build
tire. but they had neither matches nor
flint, and so they shivered and shivered
until one OF them found little spark lett
in the smouIdering heart OF big log that
had been on the fire the day before.
Among the many birds that quickly gath
cred round the log were the wren, the
crow, the owl and the turkey. How
could they start the fire that they need
ed
First the wren tied TO fan the spark
into blaze tut The log was hotter than
il seemed 10 be, and The wren burned his
feet and feathers, and fled away in fright.
The white crow tried next; but he
slipped on a part OF the log that was
burned TO charcoal, and rolled over and
over till his beautiful white feathers were
as black as SCOT.
Then the wise owl pulled out his cheeks
and blew. The spark still refused TO be-
come blaze, but so much smoke rolled
up that il blinded the owl, ard he flew
away 10 dark place 10 rest his eyes.
The proud turkey then strutted up TO
the log and famed the spark so well with
his widespreading wings that it suddenly
blazed up and burned all the feathers from
his throat and the top OF his head.
But at any rate they had fire at last,
and all the birds enjoyed it except the four
that had suffered in trying TO start it.
When the Indian finds anyone who
does not believe the story he points TO
the timid wren, the black crow, the blind
owl and the bald-headed turkey, as good
proof that il must be true.

Natures Heating System.

Boise, the capital OF Idaho, is the only
city in the world 10 use natural hot water
TO supply heat TO houses, public buildings
and business blocks. Water at a temper
ature OF III degrees comes from wells
in the low foothills the Boise mountains
just outside the city, and for twenty-five
years it has all been used tor heating
purposes.
There are two wells, each eighteen
inches in diameter and four hundred feet
deep. The natural flow was only 800, 900
gallons a day. Centrifugal pumps have
increased the supply TO ,25O, 900 gallons
every day. The water is pumped into
tank or reservoir, and thence distributed
to the users in the city. One hundred
and thirty nine buildings use If for all
purposes, including heat, and one hun
dred other buildings use il for bathing,
washing and cooking purposes.
Engineers have tried TO increase the
flow OF water, and they think that if they
could tap the main subterranean stream
they would get enough hot water TO sup
ply all the needs OF the city. The heat
is so intense that men can work only
eighteen feet below the surface, and then
only in ten-minute shifts.
These hot springs were we'll known by
the Indians, and they made the spot where
Boise now stands sort OF winter resort
tor the Snake and Bannock tribes. That
explains the great Indian burying grounds
that are found in the hills near Boise.
