His salary was not enougB to settle tor the water.
He sold his wife and children and bartered off his daughter.
His home was taken from him, his range and kitchen heater
All had to go to buck against that lying water meter.
In vain he plead with council to help him In his plight,
But they swore by all the- horned gods the meter bill was right,
They scorned his plea tor mercy, and swore by old St Peter,
They’d put him In the chalngang ‘lest he settled by the meter.
They didn't care a tinker's d—n about his plea for right/\^
Or that the meter showed a million gallons In a night,
The fact that ho was out of togn all summer cut no figger
Although It seemed to make the meter bill a little bigger.
They kicked him from the city hall and kicked him In the street,
And told the Chief to hang him, if his story did repeat
They "twenty-threed” him in a whirl and told him to skiddoo,
"To H—1 with water kickers," quoth the aldermanlc crew.
“We’ll hold our jobs and roll our ‘wad’ os high as any steeple
We're in lor life, and do not fear the 4—n poor Common People
We'U burn 'urn up on water bills, for nothing can ho sweeter
Than wringing out tho dollars to the music of the'meter.”
And thus the Common People who plain justice had expected
Are handed out a lemon by the men whom they elected.
But a day Is coming shortly when the trodden worm will strike
And "The Story of the Meter” cause an aldermanlc hike.

the bull crgwd found very little ins
piration from cables, as the ring was
pregant with selling orders on the
opening and January made a new rec
ord for this last decline, selling as
low as 9.97 immediately after the

casts for unsettled weather In

We are Inclined to the belief that
such ruthless selling as we have ex

cease upon the qdvent of the govern

crop which will be read on December
3rd. Yesterday's selling and today's
liquidation were brought around be
cause of the break In securities, as
this seems to be a forerunner for
the bear clique to hammer prices

Dear Sir: A bank messenger lost a
small coin. He set his bag down and
looked for It Found It, but somebody
else had run off with his bag.
A man who Is going to paint had
better look out for his gallons. De-

It’s gallons that cost; It Isn't the
price of a. gallon. With one paint, 10
gallons is plenty, another 11 or 12 or
Herd of Jerseys
“A dairy herd of Jerseys has already
been ordered sent to the farm. The
poultry quarters are being establish
ed, and the fowls will be installed
within the next few days. Capt. Pen-
cock Is In charge and from this time
on, will bo actively engaged in the
duties of his department.
It Is to be regretted that we could
not admit girls during tbo present
term. This exclusion cuts the enroll
ed pupils to date about 30 per cent
We will certainly be ready for them
by the opening of the second term.”
Supt. Collum urges that all boys
who desire to enter school write
him at once for a catalogue and other
information. His address is Putnam,

girls has made places for a number
of additional boys. Sumter county
boys are wanted and application
should be made at once. Expenses
will probably be from $5 to $7
