SIMPLE MATTER OF REASON How Water Hao Traveled From Ver, Millen to Columbia, Mo., In Last Three Centurion. An old Indian waa sitting by a camp Hrs near the present site uf Versailles, Mo., back In July, 1008. He waa tell ing a story about Louts D. Moscoso, successor to De Soto, who explored the southwestern part of Missouri In 1542. “Sure, Mike," he said. “These hombres are white, have short hair, carry—“ But bls sentence was never finished. About that time it began to rain and the council adjourned to the shelter. It Is now 312 years since that time, but the water from that very rain we are Just now getting here in Columbia for drinking purposes. Don't you believe it? Weil, here is the way they find such things out. During the war the army made some tests of bow fast water moves under the ground. This was done by digging two wells, plac ing some chemicals in one to discolor the water and then waiting to see how long before the discoloration became apparent in the water of the second well. The layer of sand from which Columbia securea its water is a me dium sand, neither coarse nor fine, and It was found that water moved 845 feet a year in such sand. The layer of sand outcrops at Versailles, which is approx imately fifty miles from here. Figure it out.—Columbia Missourian. t Changing Climate “Old Stuff* The delusion of the "old-fashioned winter" has prevailed in this country ever since Colonial times. Many writers of the Eighteenth century speak confidently of a marked “change of climate" within their personal recol lection and dwell especially on the heavy snows and unlimited sleighing of their boyhood days.

A Bo&nioili« In the water first attract ed atJeutloD to tbe ,spot Tbe two monster flsh were attacking each eth er With the utmost fury; and as the struggle took place at the surface of the wfltet, the anglers had «an excel lent View ef U. Tbe sharks fought, not »fltii their teeth, but with their long, powerful tails. They dashed fu riously at each other, darting this way and that, each lashing at the other with hie talL At no time did the spec tators see blood In the water, but the blows that were struck were evidently bard enough to do fatal damage, for after a while one of the combatants began to show signs of distress. It gradually weakened and presently turned sideways on the surface and then over on Its back, in which po» sltton it floated, apparently dead. The men In the boat were about to attach a rope to the carcass when suddenly there was a mighty swlri tn the water, and the other shark canto swiftly to the surface, seized the defeated foe In his jaws and carried him dowtf out of sight Quaint Garter Custom*. There are several quaint custems In connection with garters. A descrip tion of two, however, must suffice. The one is that prevalent in several inld- Euhjpoeu countries, of taking off the bride's garter by the best man at the breakfast, and cutting it up. and dis tributing the pieces among the grooms men and guests. The second is, ar ntitor was, the practice in the German imperial family of giving the bride thirteen pair* one pair ot which was kept as likely to bring her good luck. This pair la always made of pale blue silk (th* maiden's color), and baa diamond clasps. Another pair waa aent to the museum of Berlin—where there are something like ninety most Interest ing specimens—and the remaining pain were given as keepsake* to the young nobles and others who attended the bridegroom at the altar. Judging from the modern specimens, garters are even nowadays scarcely leas dainty, elaborate, or costly than of yore, though perhaps often worn more for ornament and sentiment than for usa—Kansas City Btar.
