regarding our little six-foOt-long and
eighteen-inch-high piece Of engineering.
We shouted for Peter, and ran to
the nearest stone wall, Juggling back
some fat stones, which we placed di-
rectIy below the dam for the overflow
to fall on. Then, while Stella sat on
the bank and watched the water rise,

from the basin into the now abandoned
temporary channel and packed it down
"Say, we can have fish in here"

himself and spray us all.

Stella
/ faced around just in time to see
the first line Of the water crawling
over the top of the dam, and a second
later 1t splashed on the stones below;
behind it came the waterfall.
Stella was dancing up and down.
"Oh, it's a real waterfallp' she cried.
1--WE got a real waterfall all my own!

did look pretty. flashing in the morning

We went back and surveyed our pool
at close range. 1t was clearing now.
But the second pile of earth remained
to be removed from the west side. Pc
ter and | carted that off in wheelbar
rows at once, dumping part of it into
the hole where we had aug the sand,
and the rest into a heap behind some
bushes upstream for future compost.
Then we climbed the orchard slope for
dinner. Midway we looked back.
There glistened our pool, twenty-foot
brown crystal mirror, with the four
flower beds all askew about it, the
ragged weeds and bushes pressing
them close, and beyond it only the
rough ground | had cleared with a
brush scythe, and the scraggly trees by
the wall.
ALAS" said |, now we've built a
pool, we've got to build a whole gar

cried Stella
We listened, hand in hand The tiny
waterfall was certainly tinkling,
eool, delicate, plashy sound which
mingled with the sound of the breeze
In the trees above our heads, and the
sweet twitterings of birds.
''Oh, John, it's very nice dam, and
very nice world" she whispered, as
we went through the door. and, after
all, 1t seems to me the greatest fun OF
gardening is all the nice other things

WHICH WOulu not
affect a normal person might be IA
tai TO a young child.
Foods that should be kept moist
may be rolled In damp linen and
placed in the ice chest, this will keep
them from drying out at the edges.
All boiled water or spring water
OF any kind should be kept tightly
corked to keep out impurities. Boiled
water absorbs impurities more quick
ly than the fresh.
Porcelain-lined plates are con-
Venlent for use in the ice chest as
they are not easily injured and are
sanitary. Keep plenty of waxed pa
per to cover food of different kinds
as it is much more attractive when
kept fresh.
Sliced vegetables or fruits may be
CHILLED and placed upon Il sheet of
WaXed paper then laid directly on ice.
The square porcelain-lined pans,
two or three inches deep, make ex-
cellent receptacles for keeping raw
or cooked meat; they take up less room
make excellent trays to hold custard
cups or sherbet glasses that are set
In the chest to cool.
The ice box should be thoroughly
gone over once a week and two or
three times a week carefully looked
over to see that all foods are being
used In proper time. The box should
be aired and the drain pipe carefully
flushed out as particles In the Ice Of
ten stop the drain, making serious
trouble. A strong solution of hot
soda and water should be used to
clean the drain. Small brushes made
for the purpose of keeping the drain
clean, are most useful, although a
swab may be made that will answer
every purpose.
1t is vastly more important that
the inside of the ice box should shine
with good care than that the outside
be attractive.

Pharao Turned 'em Loose; So Did

The following is an extract from a speeh made to a bunch of Paris negroes by local color ed democrat at the depot Satur- day night. He was sitting on a truck beneath the stars and de- livered himself in this fashion:
 The Lawd said, 'PhAro, turn my people loose,' and when he didn't do it and the Lawd said again, 'Pharo, turn my people loose, and when he didn't do it the Lawd tuk Pharo down to the Red Sea and chuck him in. That Mistah Wilson, he says, Karanzy, set my niggers free.' and when he didn't do it that MT. Wilson, he say again, 'Karanzy, turn my niggers loose or I'ze comin' after 'em!' Still he don't do it and that Mistah Wilson he say, 'Karanzy, turn my niggers loose bring lem right home your sef-or thar's goin' to be hell to pay" An de- nex' day fo' mill lion white men with the big dogs on flat ca's started for Mexico.

TWO EXCELLENT MEN.

When the State Central Con- mittee selected Geo. J. Stone man for chairman and T. T. Powers for secretary it acted wisely by providing an excel lent working head for the con- mittee, as on their shoulders will fall the heavy burden of the campaign. MT. Stoneman is well known in every part of the state as an able, honest, fair man, of boise and dignity, who will not be influenced from any source. His efforts and desire will be to elect the ticket in it's entirety, promote harmony and solidar- ity as we'll as enthusiasm among his CO workers of the State Gen. tral committee. MT. Powers is an honest, able man, we'll versed in political affairs of the state. His service as chairman of the appropriation committee in the last house of representative, to- gether with the knowledge he derived during work in the prim- ary campaign, peculiarly fits him for the task. Besides he is a. tireless, persistent worker, &C., curate and able to dig up cam paign data so necessary in this campaign of education. - The Messenger.
