over the country all about it. And
by gosh he was right-not now and
then or almost right, but right every
minute. What do you know about
that? All / was supposed to do was
to check him up l was Independent
with him before that-calling him
Morgan and handling him rough.
But when started to go I said:
" Mr.. Morgan"-get that Mister
Mr.. Morgan, will you let me shake
a man like you by the hand?
Don't be foolish, Cap'n,' says
he There wasn't no trick to it.
I'm merely on my job
He touches button and in comes
the head cashier. Mr.. Morgan
writes something on card and we
part, me going with the cashier.
Get that? / hadn't asked him any
thing about pay and he hadn't said
anything about it. Believe me, it
takes a big man to keep me from
asking him financial questions. But
then J.. p. Morgan was quite siz-
able man, my hoy. Don't let none of
these half baked socialists who hadn't
enough brains to make sense, much
less dollars-get that one?-don't
let 'em tell you that ]. p. Morgan
wasn't big. He was bigger. than
I am.
'The cashier takes me into an
office and there he counts $4,000
into my hand.
'aIr. Morgan says if you don't
think that fair said he. we are
to-
''But / don't let him go no further.
Whatever Mr.. Morgan says I
say says l.
well l go back working on the
docks and on my fiftieth birthday /
call my children together. There's
four of them-three girls and a boy
all grown up by this time.
I'm sitting at a table when the
four children come in to see me.
On that table l have $4,000 in
cash. 1 divide the $4,000 into four
equal piles-s30,000 in each pile
And 1 address them like this:
I'm SO years DID, says I, to
which they agree, looking at the
money. I'm so years old to-day
and what you see on this table is
my pile-s12O,OO0. For nigh onto
thirty years I've been a respectable
father to you. I've been living mostly
in the States and where was always
on hand if you needed me. Two of
you is married and the other two
of you is aiming to marry. That
let's your old man out.
"'Oh, Pop breaks in one of the
girls. Nobody ever let you out. As
long as 1 live says she, but don't
let her go no further.
".Shut up says l to her, and
llSll L 80 OIi like lfilS.
For nigh onto thirty years I've
been tied down to civilization. Now
and then took a trip to the tropics
and there was that trip to Mexico
for Mr.. ]. p Morgan, as fine man
as ever stepped into shoe leather.
I done little gambling in Wall
Street and 1 got a few dollars other
wise, which is nobody's business.
"'Now I've divided my pile into
four shares of $4,000 each. Each
of you children gets share and share
alike, SO here you are, take it.
II get up and they take the cash.
I takes my hat and makes for the
door.
Where are you going. Popg
says the boy.
Haven't decided yet says I.
But I'm thinking of rambling around
Central America for a while until
somebody stops me-
Who's going with you, Pop?
says he.
Nobody says /.
Wrong says he, because 1

Senior Jim, the Cap'n's Boy.

WATER PROBLEM Is
CAUSING WORRY TO
RESIDENTS OF CITY
Pressure is Held to be Totally
Inadequate to Cope
With Big Fire.

The past week Of excessive hot
weather has brought the city face
10 face with the realization that
steps must soon be taken 70 provide
additional water supply facilities
City officials have already given this
matter their attention. for Il is
realized that Mishawaka has not the
water protection il should have. but
no steps have yet been taken 10 in
crease facilities.
During the past week the shortage
OF water was most keenly felt in the
city. Pressure was so low as to
leave a very dangerous situation if
any kind Of a serious fire broke out.
The pressure was so low that IL was
found almost impossible 10 draw
water above the first floor Of build
ing, and in some cases there was
merely a trickle of water on ground
floors. This situation was most
noticeable in the early hours Of the
evening, and the explanation was
that there was so much sprinkling
being done by property owners
through the city But from about
o'clock in the evening until $3.50
o'clock there was such an inadequate
pressure that residents were brought
to realization Of the grave menace
Of lack OF water in the event Of a
conflagration.
The city officials have realized for
a long time past that the water sup
ply is fast becoming inadequate for
the size OF the city The pressure
has been low in previous years dur
ing the summer time, but IL has been
most noticeable this year At the
present time the city's water supply
is drawn from a system of artesian
wells. and pumped through the city's
mains from a pumping station in the
east end. There are % of these
wells at present. and though the
sinking OF several more is under
contemplation it is felt that a large
reservoir is the only solution of
problem which is becoming more
acute every day.
The extraordinary growth of
toward its boundary
limits within the past few years has
placed a strain on the water supply
Of the city that was not anticipated
when il was installed. and this over
taxing Of the present supply has got
to the point where 1t has become so
dangerous. citizens believe. that i'm
steps must be taken to in
crease the supply.
