At these little tables one may have a meal or a drink, and after that may sit in cool comfort ogling the women In the French manner aud smoking in their faces. There Is but one example of a street restaurant in New York that is well known and that is beside Grace church, where the vines and plants fit agreeably Into the architectural scheme; but in Brooklyn itliero is to ho a notable one in the Bedford rest at the end of Bedford avenue.

This institution is at present a tent, with awnings and floors and many tables, and is already a congregating point for riders and drivers, so that its success under better auspices may be assumed. The parks have open air restaurants that are delightful in their sotting of trees, flowers and rustic work, with outlooks upon lawns and groves and witQi the sound of and singing birds in one's ears. But the parks are inaccessible to a great many people and are too far away for others when thoy want to eat. There are some streets, especially in Brooklyn, where open air restaurants might be established and might succeed. Elm place and Clinton avenue are examples.

We have much more shade over here than they have iu New Y'ork, so that one would not be compelled to sit in a glare of sun as 'heating as that of publicity. But, what is better than a sidewalk cafe would be a dining place in a yard or garden, and in this respect our city is especially well provided. There are many buildings that have a considerable piece of ground attached to them, and these yards and gardens could be fitted up more attractively than it is possible to fit up the Inside of a house for summer use. In the evening, with bunting, Chinese lanterns, palms, flowers, birds and the fresh air such places could be filled, to the sorrow of those owners of dining rooms who hnd to keep their guests in the house. The growth of the roof garden and roof restaurant in Now Y'ork is a sign of the future adoption of a kindred idea nearer to the ground.

We stay indoors too much, anyway, and in hot weather a dinner ought to taste better in the open than in a room where the thermometer is marking about the same temperature as that of the soup. Bryan's visit to Sleepy Hollow was premature. He should have waited till after election when lie could have staid there aud dreamed of Rip Van Winkle for twenty years. nation never cuts ice, or cooks eggs, or plays ball, or sails a gunboat, or embroiders tidies. And what has Joseph of Austria done to get his name in the papers since ho became too old to flirt? Humbert of Italy dropped out of recollection after he went through the tenements of Naples and wept over a man with a stomach ache.

The oriental kings have done nothing for several hundred years but got married and drunk and spend money, and they are a squalid, tawdry, inibruted lot. Victoria has not been giving Bible readings to cotters lately, so she, too, has lost a good many advertisements. The King of Belgium got a little notice a few weeks ago when he tried a new kind of oil for his whiskers, and George of Greece has got his name into the papers for the first time since the Olympian games by threatening to go home to his pa if he cannot have Crete. The Czar of Russia exhausted himself at the unfortunate show in Moscow aud has merely sat in the house and read the papers since. So of all the old world monarchs who survive iu public memory and notice William is the only oue who really works for his ads.

That a king should actually work, even for ads, is discouraging to the advance of republican ideas in Europe. The programme for this week is not made public yet, but It is hinted that to morrow William will carry bricks and on the next day crack a safe. Watch the daily William, the sweet William. There is no other like hirm Scientific Child Culture. Two men in Washington are training their children in accordance with what they believe to be scientific principles.

The little ones are made distinguish between sights, sounds, smells, tastes and sensations at an age far in advance of that of ordinary children. Not only this, but they learn to use their muscles and to begin to think while they are in swaddling clothes. The children are said to be bright, good looking and strong. Their training will be continued until they are of school age, when they will be sent on the way of other little people, to have their minds trained. One of the parents of these babes experimented for a long time on guinea pigs, to ascertain whether or not parental influences largely influenced the progeny, aud he believes that they do.

By especially training four generations of guinea pigs in acute seeing he has built up a larger area of brain cells in the seeing area than the animal usually owns, and he believes that parents may somewhat affect their children by preparation1 before the children are bora. He says that th training of his child began two years in advance of his birth. If in later years these children are found to be stronger, brighter, more useful than others of their age and size, it certainly uull help prove a value in this peculiar method of rearing them. If, on the contrary, it should be found that as they develop early so their decay begins at maturity, that the work they are now doing, though disguised and received as play, taxed the system and made it dull to a continuance of outward impressions, that they have been jarred and hurt or strained by leaping and somersaulting, a popular apprehension will be justified. Age is not always a matter of years.

We had news a few days ago of an infant who died of senile decay and of a school boy who went to his grave with white whiskers aud a bald head. We also find octogenarians frolicking around at picnics and getting married to the girls they loved several decades before. Between the vitality of a Gladstone, chopping trees industriously at the age of nearly 87, and the infant of months that died of extreme old age, there is a wide gap and oue that expresses the worthless ness of dates as a means of determining the real age of a person. It is in most cases wiser to grow old slowly than to rush the process. Haste sometimes ripens the body aud the intellect at a fearful rate after sacrifice of exhaustion.

Professional prize fighters and athletes nearly always decline before arriving at maturity and become bloated, sodden, hopeless and forgotteu, and the child who has booh goaded into a preternatural activity of mind commonly lapses into a dull nonentity and drudges his way through the world at a mechanic trade or as a clerk, all the brilliant promise of his youth vanished. Progress in mind and strength should ordinarily keep' pace with physical growth and stimulation of every sort is dangerous. It may be. notwithstanding, that the theories of the Washington scientists are right, so long as they have the right subjects to work upon. They should, however, at first be limited to babies of their own.

Out of Door Dining. They do some things better in France, especially where tfhey relate to eating. In pleasant weather they liave dinner on the sidewalk. The spectacle of a Brooklyn family consuming its victuals on the flagstones would draw all the gamins of the neighborhood and the police would hurry around and order the tables inside and the people to the lock up. Y'et, If the experiment were fairly tried it might be popularliere.

Paris is a. good bit north of New York. It is opposite the middle of Newfoundland, and while it has warm weatiier it seldom has long spells of such roasting temperature as we have In our Atlantic cities. It 'has more protections against the heat, too, than we have more trees, more open spaces, fewer tail and unsightly business blocks, fewef fuming, smoking factories and shops in the centers of population; it waters the streets In She morning and keeps its trees clean and leafy, and although the American bar room and the soda, fountain arc a tedious long while getting a liold, there are other consolations aud one may have fair wine, carbonated drinks, bottled lemonade, beer and sugar water on almost, any block. But tin: thing that makes Paris so easy to be in during hot weather is the open air tables.

The vyhole place may be compared to a roof garden. Iu some parts of our cities we could not do as Paris does, for wo have allowed the houses to lx built smack up against the sidewalks, In sttritd of setting them back for a few feet, in order to admit lig'ht and air and secure room to move about.

The "Western man borrows money of the rerrt man, and when the latter asks to have a part of his money back, calls him a blood sucker. The Western man does hot pay the money Daek.

Which Is the blood sucker? A tramp in Jersey' City smashed a $100 window, so that he could be sent to the penitentiary and taken care of, without work. It is pretty rough on the man who had to pay for the window, but your tramp does not care for that. How would it do to put that kind of a fellow at work and make him pay for the damage he had done Jvansen wants to jro north and try it again. Of course he does. Nobody ever went to the Arctics to hunt for the pole without being drawn into the business as a life employment.

A burnt child dreads he fire, but a frost bitten explorer would rather cut ice than do anything else. In bis dhoice. of a summer trade he shows what, duriny the hot spell, we would have called good sense. The proposition to build a public hospital on the Eastern parkway is distinctly bad. The parkway is destined to be a street of residences.

The city has room and to spare for such a purpose without encroaching on laud where such a build Insr'would bo neither sightly uor sanitary. By going out a little farther land could be found that was cheaper, higher, nearer to the water supply and in a quiet, pleasant section. The ridge of hills extending toward Jamaica offers just the site for such an institution. Mr. Bryan's parting editorial advice to get in out of the silver rain by putting your money Into houses and land and borrowing what you could for similar investments, thereby profiting at the expense of the borrower, is a frank revelation, but it is merely an incitement to the Westerners to do as they have been doing for a long time.

Eastern people who have lent money to Western ones within late years have been buncoed out of probably two thirds of their capital. As to interest the Westerner scorns it. People who shore ought to use care in selecting strangers for pillows. A longshoreman in Xew York has acquired both the snoring and the rum habits, and in go lug up town on a street car the other day he fell asleep and dropped his oiled head on the shoulder of a man who had a new evAU The other woko him. After a minute the longshoreman fell asleep and against the same should.

and again he was prodded and propped up. A third time he was so angry at the stranger for refusing to be slept on that he si ruck 'Chen the stranger exhibited a police badge and took him into custody. At last hazing is to be really stopped West Point. Commanda ius have played with it, and blinked it. and lectured on it, but now that the two fellows Who bullied and abused some new cadets have beeu declared unworthy to wear the uniform and have been dismissed troru the academy, a reform will begin.

The President, in approving the finding of the court martial, takes the opportunity to say a time word not merely as the brutality of hazing but the "cowardice of it, and it is the cowardice that makes It an especially uufit occupation tor. a soldier. A big, sturdy, upper class Only one or two letter carriers succumbed to the heat, while several policemen became inoperative because of it. The reason is the carriers walk many miles and keep lean. Lean people suffer less than fat ones.

Beside, the police are compelled to dress in absurdly thick clothes in this weather, when they should be wearing only pajamas and cabbage leaves. Tvish peopls would stop talking about "pains" and "knee There are no such tilings as pants, aud never were. And knee pants are worse yet. There are trousers, which cover the whole leg. and brooches that come just below knee.

Men in usual costume wear trousers, and men on bicycles and boys both on and off from bicycles wear breeches. Plain and proper English doesn't cost, any more than the bad kind. The Rev. Montgomery Hunt Throop of the t. Matthew's Episcopal church in Jersey City has put iu a bill against the diocese of Newark for for work over time.

Well, why not? When a man is called up at midnight to pray for an invalid he loses sleep just the same as if he was planing a board or braking on a train. Seriously, however, Mr. Throop's father was a crank and Mr. Throop is the sou of his father. Artillery for the Coast.

General Miles will presently start on a trip through the West to see what military posts it is advisable to abandon. Fort Wingate is one of the stations most likely to be given up. The proposition is also made to remove the artillery from Washington to New York and to garrison the former city with cavalry. This is wise. Washington stands in no danger from foreign warships and New York does, and it is against big ships that the artillery of the future must employ itself.

The Western forts are mere survivals of a time when all the West was a wilderness, and constantly recurring troubles with Indians required that troops should be within reach of the reservations. That condition has long been past and the ouly reason for preserving the forts has been to provide recruiting stations and schools of instruction, or to have little bands of meu in available places iu case of local trouble. Even this last, however, has ceased to be an argument in their favor, because every suite now has its militia, far outnumbering so much of the regular army a could be spared for that particular state, for if the national troops were distributed with some regularity around the country there would be only about five companies for each state, aud even if they were assigned in accordance with the populations of those states New York would have a much smaller body than its own citizen soldiery in fact less than l.Suu men. It is proper that a certain force should be kept near the northern and southern borders of the nation aud a few posts might still be scattered through the mountain belt as stations and distributing points merely; but it is plain that the body of men should be massed upon the coast, especially in and near the great cities, for in the event of war they would be the first points of attack. The greater New Y'ork, with its vast wealth, its world covering commerce, its population of millions, has for Its protection but a handful of men, most of them infantry, unskilled in the working of guns.

True, there are not many guns to work, and in most cases the garrisons in the forts are so small that they could not work them effectively if they knew how. With the delivery and installation of the heavy pieces that are promised for the defenses of the harbor and East river, new abilities and duties will be expected and demanded, and a concentration of troops will then be looked for in the places where they would be needed. At present we are lamentably weak where we should be most strong. It has not been any part of the national policy to keep the army and navy in a condition to be effective aggressively, but it is time to recognize the need of giving them strength enough to offer a stout defuse. By scattering the military force around the country in knots of from half a dozen to two or three hundred men it lias been made weak at all points and strong in none.

True, this is the peace footing and peace distribution, but nations that have made a military success have made the most of their armies. They have in time of peace prepared for war. so that when war come though it were to come as it would to us. suddenly, appallingly the people were not thrown into dismay. Every man knew his place and his duty, the army was not a raw and untried mass.

Our troops are of good material, but thoy are oddly placed and undeveloped. The great manuevers common In all European countries have never been essayed he re. no doubt on account of the expense, which certain congressmen would oppose on grounds of obvious economy, but for real reason that there was no patronage in them. When our troops are placed where work is to be expected of them and trained in the duties imposed by new modes of warfare the rest of the country will breathe easier. The Will o' the Wisp.

Faith was begiuuing to fail iu the will o' the wisp the ignis fatuus of our school readers, the "merry dancer" and "ghost fire" of legend. It was lapsing into The place of the Mrs. Harris of natural science and a doubting generation was heginuiug 10 believe that "there isn't no such person." Several niutter ings to that effect have been heard, and the pictures that represent a man wandering in a marsh aud following a hall of light, or being frightened in a cenie Tery by the same kind of a ball, have been eliminated from the scientific works that they used to adorn. Nobody around here ever saw a will 0' the wisp, though there is a man iu New York who knows a man who says he met one in Amagansott once. It was very light and moved on every breath of air.

It aj.so seemed to have rays and was likened to a luminous cork with phosphorescent feathers stuck into it. But at hist we he.u from a scientist that ho found one hovering over a spring near Trenton, N. J. It was very faint and blinked out quite easily, but if he kept very still and A Public. Duty and Privilege.

The Seidl concerts ha ve been a musical success, but not a financial one. They are to cease one week from to night for this season at Brighton beach. They should last a week, a fortnight and, if possible, a mouth more. If. however, they do not pay and at 25 cents admission they have not paid they must be brought to a close before the time when favoring weather would counsel their To be frank, the Seidl society has incurred public obligation, musical appreciation, a right to high praise and a considerable debt.

The members can not be expected to run in debt forever otto figures which they should not carry. We are not disposed to blame the public. Berating the public for not sustaining amusements is prescribing your own view of things to people, whose liberty of action is as complete as your owu and wiiose right to exercise it is the same. Scolding the public in print is but an industry of journalistic amateurs. The humor of it caunot be apparent to its practitioners, else they would kick themselves into oblivion or lattgh themselves ottt of sight Nevertheless, while no one need be blamed for the financial failure of these concerts, circumstances are to be charged with the fact.

Brighton beach is a far off place. To get there without change of cars was impossible, until near the close of the season. When people got there, the attraction was music, the best music, bald beaded laud and sea, and nothing else. The social side and the frivolous side of life are imperfectly addressed, if at all, at Brighton beach. Yet such an address is desirable, if throngs would be drawn to aesthetic delights or to musical instruction.

Frankly, we do not know whether matters will ever be different at Brighton beach, but, frankly, we do know, or fear, that, if they are not different, the response will uot be much more favorable. Whatever the reason, the result is unfortunate, because the Seidl concerts have been line, the pleasure they have conferred hits been distinct and uplifting and the number of people whom they have attracted has, in the aggregate, not been small, although not enough for remunerative reassurance. Small or large, this number has been benefited, and the young of both sexes of that number have been kept away from demoralizing influences along the far western lines of Coney Island. The members of the Seidl society have kept faith with the public at a sacrifice. In quite a real sense they are public benefactors.

They have the consciousness of having done well and they should have the proofs of public approval and gratitude as well. The people of Brooklyn should do what they can this afternoon, to night and every afternoon and evening during the ensuing week to make the money deficit of the Seidl society much smaller than it now is. In other words, they should attend all the concerts in large numbers. Such as cannot go themselves should buy tickets in large numbers aud give them to those who can go. The programmes will be excellent and attractive.

We wish the deficit could lie extinguished or reduced to a figure that can be readily managed. We not. only wish this for the Tightness of the thing itself, but also to encourage the giving of these concerts by Mr. Seidl and his associates at the same place in the future. Something musical will be done there, good or poor, until the discovery be made of what will pay.

By poor we do not necessarily mean demoralizing. But the character of the music will deteriorate, if the music of the present kind should continue to prove a financial loss. Should the society in the future renew its efforts, it will, we mist, put the price at 50 cents, instead of 25. That would certainly be worth trying and effort at a quarter of a dollar has been long enough tried in vain. But let the pavilion be thronged during all the time that remains, for the strong reasons of strong fact apparent to every mind.

The Differing William. That various person, the Emperor of Germans is out in a new line of husi ue.ss. In fact, it may be said of him that he is fresh, every morning, and that no monarch has succeeded so admirably iu luring his own advance agent. Ho has been a poet, and a song writer, aud a parson, and a sea captain, and a fisherman, and a tourist, and a racer, and has designed some machinery, and has made a drawing, likewise one painting, and can shoot and dauce, can drill a brigade, speaks one or two languages beside his own, is a famous short distance pedestrian, has looked up the insurance business for the benefit of his people, has been toast master at dinners, has made a couple of speeches, and now he has designed a large allegorical sculpture in which the army Is to be glorified and its service to the farmer in eating his crops is to be perpetually celebrated in bronze. And, considering how little time he gives to these things William is doing remarkably well.

lie has read about the Admirable Crlohton and wants to go him six or eight better in his accomplishments. Nobody doubts that he will do It. And the beauty of it is that he seems to be doing it all himself. When bo practices medicine he does not have a real physician waiting in the next room, and when he plays a piano solo at a concert It is said that the instrument is not one or those electric pianos that piny by machinery, while a performer sits perspir Ingly over it and appears to work. In this William makes himself continually interesting.

We never know, as we take up the Gorman cable dispatches, whether he has just been putting on a white apron aud serving Wienerwurst and sauerkraut in a. slum restaurant, in order to sen how his people can live, or has finished an epic, ovor night, on the row between gold and silver in the United Stares. But. nobody ought to reprove the only William for this kind of conduct. He is making the most of himself, and may be merelv feeling around to see what he is best suited to.

When he finds out, he may resign the crown to one of his children or relatives aud go to work at his now trade. In the meantime he is setting a pace that makes the rest of Europe quite discontented with Its mpnarchs. There Is Spain, for example. That poor little BONNER AND WATER PRESSURE. Danger in New Tors Lack ot Adequate Water Supply.

The chief of New York's fire department, who has been on a short vacation, during which ho attended the fire chiefs' convention at Salt Lake City, has just returned to his duties. He is reported to have said that "the most remarkable thing about tho convention was that it wr held in a city where Are engines are unnecessary, the water pressure in Salt Lake City being 140 pounds to the square inch." To a fireman of such ability, experience and fume as Chief Bonner has attained during his long and faithful service in the New York department it is no doubt a remarkable sight for him to get away occasionally and actually witness the working of a fire department that does not have to use one half its steamers to suck water from a low pressure and supply it to the other half in order that they may force it onto fires. That is the condition which Chief Bonner has had to contend with during all his experience In his own city, and his. prevention of a great and ruinous conflagration is, therefore, the more remarkable. But he doubtless lives in! tear that day.

the Are fiend will gain the mastery over his sixty steamers and superb lorces by reason of the constant low pressure and the ever recurring "scarcity of water." As, the city grows larger the small pressure and small water supply grow smaller, and when the day of mastery by the fire fiend does icome the hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of inflammable buildings and merchandise will furnish fuel for the fire carnival as the situation now furnishes food for serious thought by the merchants and fire underwriters. The main point to be drawn from this observation of Chief Bonner 'is the fact that almost any small city or village in the' land possesses the same remarkable thing the way of good water pressure, varying from 75 to 150 pounds, while New York; the ponderous and wealthy metropolis of the Western world, the wonder of civilization' and the pride of Americans, plods along with a water pressure nowhere greater than thirty pounds, averaging not over twenty pounds during the hours of least consumption, and running as low as eight and ten pounds in its most compact and hazardous districts. Ncr Is that the worst feature of the case. Its eminent engineers give warning that its maximum supply, as to quantity is now reached within 10 or 15 per cent, by the daily demand and use of water, notwithstanding the smallness of its antiquated distributing pipes and the consequent choked distribution. In the lace of these facts efforts to demolish a useful reservoir within the city, and to erect a library upon its site, prevail against the protestations of the Are underwriters and prominent engineers.

Rapid transits, new bridges, parks, driveways and other "improvements" are projected with all the lavlshness of a wealthy empire. An extraordinarily wet year is at hand, dispelling for the time being tho fear of a short supply of water, and the powers that be apparently forget that only last year It was a question or days and not of weeks with the city's water supply, and that next year or the year following may yes, will almost surely, bring another crisis still more alarming, because of the constant growth of both the city and Its water consumption. All of these improvements which are planned and which are sapping and exhausting the money resources of the city, are very excellent, but of what value will they be if, through the neglect to keep the water suppCy and waiter pressure abreast with tho city's growth, the latter is lost by conflagration Of what use are a fifty million dollar underground rapid transit or a twenty five million dollar suspension bridge to a couple of million of people shut up in a city without water, praying for rain? Do the people realize that a twenty miUlon dollar aqueduct begun In 1883 was not ready for use until 1890, and that a reservoir begun in 1392, "to prevent a drop of water from going to waste in rreshet times," will not be ready for use before 1903? In the course of tho recent hearings In the matter of the Forty second street reservoir the underwriters drew from the city engineer that the daily visible supply of water was only 230,000,000 gallons. The daily consumption has reached as high as 245,000,000 gallons recently, and It will average 220,000,000 or more for the present year. The outlook Is not hopeful.

All this, however, Is apart from the matter of pressure, which Chief Bonner found in the Mormon city. The Standard reiterajtes that the low pressure which threatens Now York to day Is, when viewed from the standpoint of supply, a veritable "blessing in disguise." Were the bunghole large enough to supply the water which the city would and should use, the barrel would be empty in a month. The opening of those new mains to be laid this year and next will demonstrate our statement. These remarks will apply with almost the same force to tho City of Brooklyn which has been struggling with the water problem without success for two years. It must act soon In order to secure its future supply before it falls into the tolls of the greater New York.

NASBY ON SILVER. How the "War Time Humorist Discussed tie Subject in i 878. Oonfederit Roads (Wtch Is In the state of Kentucky), January 22, 1878 I ain't so certin that I want the silver bill to pass ez I was.

The fact Is, the thing don't work as I sposed it wood, and I ain't clear onto It. There is suttle principles In these flnanshel questions wlch requires a great deel of thought and there is underlying principles wlch a man haa got to understand afore lie Is competent to set hisseir up ez authority. Ono thing I'm certin uv, Baiscom ain't no ftnanseer. nor never will be, and I told him so. "Wat is a fiaanseer?" asked he.

"A flnanseer," ssd assoomlng the look of nan'l Webster, "is a man wlch kin pay his debts with nodim' a man wlch kin suKh in with nuthin'." "The Corners, then, is full of flnan seers he remarked, bitterly, castln' a casual glance at his slate, wlch wuz jist full enuff to turn over and begin on tother side. But ho hezn't any of the science uv it I wuz argooing with him the other'day In favor uv my noshun uv a leather currency, though I told him silver was much the same thing and, for example. I would assoc that silver wuz to be the currency of the fucher. "Now, don't yoo see, Bascom, that "ef I hed twict ez much money, I coed drink twlct ez much whisky and pay for It?" "How much is twice nothln?" wuz the un feolln' answer uv the tyrant who holds the destinies of the Corners in his hands. "That's wot yoor captile hez ibln ever since I knowd you." "Parson." sed he, "I don't see what erthly difference It's goin' to make whether silver is currency or anything else.

How do youu goin' to git silver if It Is mado legal tender' Ef silver wuz ez plenty ez bricks, w'at hev you got to git any uv it with?" "Troo. G. wuz my answer, "but can't you see that to hev silver wood relievo the dettor class? Even now, afore It is legal tender, it's only wuth 92c. on the dollar, and when the country is Hooded with it, it will go still lower. Then we or father sich uv us ez hev property to raise money on kin pay off "Eggsactly so," retorts Bascom, "you kin pay me for the good honest, likker uv mine wlch you hev consoonied.

In coin, which is less than the dollar you promised. All rite. But look hore como in here, all uv yoo. i want yoo silver men to know exactly w'at yoo are rushin' into." And this feend led us into the back room that back room wich contanes the subsistence uv the Corners. There, in long rows, wuz Baa com's stock.

There, in barrels, piled one on top uv another, wuz the delishus whisky uv Louisville, uv different ages, rangin' from that uv two weeks old to that wich hed Jist left the still, and was scarcely cold ylt. There it lay, and ez my eye ranged affeckshunately over it I felt ef I cood hev the drlnkin' of all that likker I wood be content to lay down and die when the last drop wuz gone. Bascom p'lnted. to an immense tank w'ich he had erected within a few days, with pipe running in from the roof. "I shan't raise the price uv likker in conse kence uv belu' paid for it In a depreshiated currency!" scd he.

I fell on Bascom'3 neck In an extacy uv delight, while the others shouted: "Ah, for Bascom!" I remaritt, while teers suffoosed my eyes. "I never placed yoo much below tho angels, but this generous act has histed yoo a hundred per cent. In my estimashun. Bless yoo, G. bless yoo." "But I'll tell yoo w'at I shell do.

Do yoo see tha't tank?" sed' he. "May I ask w'at thait is for?" I sed. "That tank will fill with rane water," sed he. "The momem yoo glx to payln' mo In silver, I shell take out uv each of them bar rils jest eggsackly three and one fifth gallons of likker, axi fill it with water." "Merciful hewlngs!" we all exclaimed, "and poor likker so weak now!" "And when silver gets do wn to 75 cents on the dollar, I shell take out 25 per cent, uv whisky and fill her up with 25 per cent, of water. And so en down.

Bf silver goo3.up I shol add whiky eggsackly in proporshen. In short, my whisky is jist agoin to Toiler currency, and nothin' shorter. Yco fellers w'ich work for wagls may swot, but I won't." "But yaa'l Increase the size of your glasses?" sfid I. "Not any. But you may drink twice ez irany tlmc to git the name amount uv drunk es before, by payln' for each drink." And Bascom stailkod bawttly back and took his pestehon behind his bar.
