when, four days later, the same

creep into Pierre's mind as to
the dependability of his Pet Form

could no longer trust himself to
turn off his clock, take his forty

permitted Ninon to persuade him
to let Louis knock at the door to
rouse them at seven-thirty.

~ nee there was an old inn
KEEPER named Pierre, who
would set his alarm clock
every morning at $50 merely for
the pleasure Of laughing at it and
going to sleep again. Half asleep,
he would reach out his hand,
turn off the alarm and settle back,
a look of ineffable joy on his face,
for another hour of slumber. His
wife, Ninon, however, could not
fall asleep again once she had
been wakened. And she would lie
there for an hour in anger and
distress.
"Why do you not set the clock
for 1880 and get up when it rings?"
she pleaded. "Or have Louis
knock at the door and call us? 1

waking, and 1t is all SO need

But Pierre had the obstinacy of
the male species and would not
alter his habit. Ninon thought
and thought and finally figured
out way to cure him.
One night when Pierre was
asleep and snoring, Ninon rose
quietly and turned off the alarm,
then crept back into bed. They
both awakened after nine. When

% years the water department has
earned $224,000. OF the old water
bonds there remain only $4,000 and
interest still to pay.
With natural increase in taxable
valuation and increase of water, con-
servatively based on past perform,
anees, indications are that in ten years
our water department, if we have
plenty of water, will be earning about
$4,000 a year.
Our present supply is alarningly
low Though the water is coming into
the reservoir faster than usual at this
time of the year, it is at the rate of
only 100000 gallons day. There is
only 25,000,000 gallons in the reser-
voir. The Santa Fe railroad company
has been limited to 100000 gallons a
day, but has been using more than
that and check is being kept on them
to see that they do not take more than
their allowance, which was cut to
