True LOVE LAUGHS AT AGE
Shafts Of Father Time Poweriess to
Affect Those Blessed With Mutu-
al Affection.

Ordinarily, we would cuss TO the linn
1t q "peeper" or an eavesdropper. But
we have O confession to make on the
first count, and we would plead miti-
eating circumstances. Here is the
story;
On a drizzling. foggy night, u way
lay down a side street toward home.
Several rods ahead there was q shaft
of light and when we reached the spot
we found a window with the shade
halfway up. Wickedly, but not mali
:iously, we hesitated, stopped-and we
peeped.
There sat an old man and his wife,
They must have been well up to the
allotted three-score Of years. He was
smoking and she was knitting. Still
we peeped. Then she looked up at him
and smiled and said something. He
laid down a book, struggled up from
out of his comfortable seat and kind
Of hobbled out Of the room, shortly
returning and carrying a glass Of wa
ter, which he handed to her.
And as she drank she held the
wrinkled and bony hand of her lover.
Then, as she finished drinking, she re-
leased his hand and the look she gave
him and the look he gave her were like
shafts of sunshine breaking through
the murky clouds after days of rain.
That picture has haunted us a long
time. Somehow she seems beautiful In
our Eyes, and yet we did not get a
closeup" of her features. And he,
why as we keep thinking Of him. we
bark back to the days when we once
visited a fine old Southern gentleman
who possessed the graces Of a Chester
field and the courtesy Of a Don Juan.
Then we recall the words of a poet
which fits the case precisely: Let
Time reach out with his sickle as Tar
as ever he can although he can reach
ruddy cheeks and ripe lips and fash
ing eyes, he cannot quite reach love-"
When a man really loves a woman
she will never grow old, and when a
woman loves a man he Is neither de-
crepit nor bowed nor tremulous. she
Is the same lass he wooed and he Is
dlWu1J LlV bdAlV 6oh0A JON
who won her heart and her hand.
They are absolutely equals, happy and
free. These two lovers are travelling
toward the City of Silence, but they
are leaving behind a picture never to
be forgotten.-Fremont Herald.
Milwaukee, medicinal" Water.
The city of Milwaukee has been
greatly bothered with a peculiar taste
In Its drinking water. The water Is
obtained from the lake and Is chlorin-
ated before distribution. At first 1t
was thought that the chlorine produced
the taste, but a series Of tests proved
that this was not the source OF con-
tamination. There seems to be some
connection between the intensity OF
the taste and the direction of the
wind, and finally the source of trouble
was located In a couple Of plants, n
three miles away and the other eight
miles away, which were producing coal
tar products.

1t Is going to be a big work to get
the moving picture Installed as a COM
mon >quipment for educational work
in the schools. Schools will have to
have the films and the machines, and
they will require men, teachers or not,
to operate them. This signifies that a
great development Of moving picture
facility will have to be made in all
the appliances and technique connect
ed with the exhibition of the pictures.
The moving picture will overflow from
the theater into the schools, for 1t
would be impossible for the theaters
alone to do the work. 1t will also be
necessary to improve the production
of the pictures on the screen SO that
there will be no problem of vision and
no over-straining Of the yes of chill

save when equipment and operation
