to the pump and the pump belted tt
a gas engine, and an iron pipe stick
ing out of the bottom of one of the
barrels and a cork inserted into the
said iron pipe, the barrels were easily
pumped full of water, ready for flu,
ture business. Mr.. Tremere ther
went to Jacksonville and brought 6
piece of rubber hose, some connec'
tons and a garden hose nozzle, anc
came back. He proudly connected VI
the contraption. This garden hose
nozzle will shoot a straight stream
at least two feet high, or by giving il
slight twist it will shoot the water
out in a spray, so that Mr.. Tremere
could go out in that bathhouse and
either imagine he was a house afre
by giving it the straight stream, OF
revel in the luxurious thought that he
was a rose bush and spray himself
accordingly. So when the hose was
connected up, he proudly pranced over
| to the house with it over his shoulder
and to the inquiries of the women
folks as to what he was going to do
he replied that he was going to con.
meet the hose to the barrels. So in.
side he steps end made a brave at.
tempt to screw the hose coupling tx
the iron pipe in the bottom of the
barrel. He pulled out the cork anC
made the attempt. The blamed thing
would not connect, and stream OF
water ran down his sleeves and down
his clothes and out he came, soppine
wet. By this time there was about
three or four inches of water on the
! ground. Bravely he attacked again
with his feet upon the stills, and max
ing an extra effort his hand slipped
and ker-plunk, he went into the wa,
ter, catching the stream full on top OF
his head as he went. Seeing the cori
bobbing around on the troubled wat
ers, he picked it up, climbed up or
top of the house and reaching down
he stuc kthe cork into the other enc
of the iron pipe. Then climbing dowr
he made the connection without any
further mishap. And upon pulling
the cork out of the top end of th'
pipe, he gave the women folks an ex
hibition of how to use the hose in cas-
of fire. AS stated before it will throw
a stream at least two feet high anc
if the nozzle is lifted high enough, i
will throw a solid stream of waite,
over any of the small plants in tn,
yard.
Mr.. Edward Schram is making
brief visit to Belleview and will re
turn to Jacksonville one day thi
week.
Miss Lula Dudley has just return
ed from a visit to Kentucky and re
ports leaving her friend, Mrs. Abbi
c. Morrow Brown in good health, an,
expressing the opinion that she vii
not spend the coming winter in Belle
view. A graceful act on the part o
Mrs. Brown was the sending by Mis-

apple to the writer.
