WHAT THE KETTLE SINGS.
Ksttle, oh, kettle, tt onto your job,

A kettle (see poets) should blithesomely
sing
Bo matter Just what ; give us any old thing.
?' What snail I sing about what shall it
i be?"
Kettle, oh, kettle, Just sing about tea.
r I've nested the water lor many a or ana,
i vs sampled tti tea-leavM trom many a
land:
I've snuffed at their savor and tasted the
brew.
And I like CHASI SAIfBOKIf'S the
best, honest true I "
Kettle, oh, kettle, now why do yon blow
for this kind so stoutly and how do yo
I know?
f I've seen 'em nncnrl when the water's
been hot,
Seleasing their fragrance and spice In the
lack, leaf like a Jealously clutched little
i hand
that held a rich gift from the far Orient-
land.
I've seen 'em diffuse all their richness
there stored
As my spont its Uhatloo trpon them hat
i poured.
I've sniffed the bouquet through my long,
I eager nose,
And know It's as sweet as the Orient-land
i' rose.
And I say once again, and you listen to me.

At the result of an advance of two'
oents per thousand gallons demanded
bythe Rogae River Water Co. the
Senthern Pacifio railroad company
has decided to furnish Its own water
and the company now has a gang of
men at work on a large .well west of
the round house. . This well and reser
voir when finished will be 80 feet
sqoare and 40 feet deep. The railroad
company's bill has been averaging
about $200 per month and they have
decided that it would be more eco
nomical and more satisfactory to put
in a plant of their own and thus be
independent of the water company.
This will also mean a decrease in
the boBioess of the water company
of something like $2400 for the year.
These cool evenings remind as that
we must have heating stoves. Get
