United States Senator John C. Spooner
of Wisconsin has ideas of domestic dis
cipline as well as foreign relations. Sev
eral years ago his young son, aged G, im
portuned him for money, after the man
ner of small boys.
"What do you want to do with it?"
asked the father.
"Oh, nothing," responded the boy
indefinitely.
"You have plenty of spending money,
and I buy you everything you need or
ought to want. Unless there is some
special reason, I can't let you have it.
There isn't any reason, is there?"
"Not exactly, hut 1 want it. You
know how it is, papa; you were a little
boy once."
This appeal failed to move the sena
tor's heart, and a silence followed that
lasted an hour or more. During this
time the father read and the son thought.
At length he said :
"Papa."
"Yes, my son."
"Suppose I was to meet a highwayman
on a lonely sMeet late at night."
"Yes, my son."
"And suppose he should pull out a
pistol and say, 'Little boy ! Your money
or your life!' What could I do?"
Ten minutes later the senator's son
was whistling to his chum outside his
chum's window, with a new silver half
dollar in his pocket. Philadelphia Post.
Tlie Woman Who Worries.
When the kettle boils over.
If baby cries.
If the lire isn't always bright.
At every speck of dust.
If there's a spot on the front steps.
If the iceman's boots are muddy.
If anything interrupts her afternoon
nap.
When a dish or a glass is broken.
If the roast does not come along
nicely.
Every time the heater needs attention.
If the butcher, the baker, or the candle
stick maker fail her in the least partic
ular. If the pie crust burns ever so little.
At every mistake of the maid.
Because the gas bill's "higher this time
than last."
When a huckster knocks at the back
door.
If her new dress isn't a perfect tit the
first time she tries it on.
If the letter she's looking for doesn't
come to hand on the minute.
Yet how much happier she'd be if she
met all these things with a smiling
countenance ! Philadelphia Press.

Once upon a time an Arab approached
his camel in much anxiety of spirit.
"This, O Camel! 'he said, "is the last
straw! As you know, it is supposed to
break your back, but I'm going to take
the responsibility of feeding it to you!"
Accordingly the camel partook of the
straw, and presently died of indigestion,
complicated with appendicitis. This fable
teaches how hard it is to thwart destiny.

The following is the result of the
analysis of the Pinehurst Spring Water:
Kaleiuh, N. C, April o, 1897.
Analysis No. 10,111.
Dkak Silt: The sample of health water sent to
the station lor analysis in a demijohn, marked
"From tube well system, Pinehurst, N. C," con
tains: Total solid matter in solution
Grains per IT. S. Gallon, . 0.U2
Hardness, . . 1.00 degree of Clark's scale
Carbonate of lime, 0.00 grains per U. S. gallon
Chlorine, . . 0.08 grains per U. S. gallon
Ammonia, Free, . .032 parts per million.
Ammonia, Albmuinoid .050 " " "
Analysis of the water from Pinehurst, shows it
to be a drinking water of exceptional quality.
The total solid matter and chlorine is very small;
and the ammonia, both free and albuminoid, is
quite considerably less than is usually found in
drinking waters. These facts show it to be a
very valuable source for a water supply; in fact,
so far as the chemical examination is concerned,
we seldom lind such purity.
