UNCLE JOE TALKS ON BOOTS
Bx-Representative Cannon Stirred to
Reminiscence by Sight of Pair
of Cowhides,
Several members of engross wore
Bitting on the western steps the

ful tutnse! be.ioud the wooded hills id'
Virginia, us they chatted upon vari-
ous subjects, according to the Nation*
ill lveputMi.au. The talking arid look-
irji>. however. came to a sudden null
when a stniniror strolled by wearltii; a
pair of old fashioned cowhide hoots,
with h!s punts (tin, to't troupers)
Stuffed IMii 'hi- tops.
"Hoys," s'owly i-i marked "Uncle,
"that's th,' first pair of cowhides
I've seen in Wash Initial In a dozen or
So years). How well do 1 remember
the old days when I wore them and
greased them every little while with
taltow 1 AH'', oh, what a job It was
to work up it shine on them out In the
woodshed when I wanted to go on a
little courting trip'.
"By the by, do yotj realize that a
considerable affinity exists between
men and boots? They both have like
weaknesses and yoixl qualities, and
are similarly affected under certain clr-
cu instances.
"Boots go on feet ; so do men.
"Boots liave solus; so have nien.
"Boots .sometimes get tight; so do
men.
"A boot will shine, if polished; Re
will a man.
"Somo boots have red tops; so have-
om«! men.
"Some boots low their soles; so do
Dome men.
"Boots ntv tanned; s . are men—
mostly In their youth.
"Som«! boots can't stand water;
neither cun some men,
"When « boot, is well staked it Is if
hard cum-; so i* man.

Turkey belts are wont to "sleal"

patch of weeds, 'all grass -or thick

more from home before they find lo-
cations that suit them. To find these
smb-ti nests often proves to he a long

behti, to follow each turkey hen as she
separates from the tloclf and starts

Undergi'outHt Stream
Of Water 1> i*il led Into
Ben Bedell, of near McAdoo
on the plains, whs in Spur Tues-
day and hauled c lumber and
other material with which to
make improvements. A well
was recent))' drill*-"0 on Ids place
and at a depth o! it|>r*>ximate!y
three hundred feet the bit went
through a rock, dropping into a
cavity of underground river of
water which roared and rumbled
immediately rising fifty or a
hundred feet, in the well, A
slush bucket was run in drawing
out fifty gallons a minute with-
out lowering the water. It is
not? being considered if it would
be possible to lower dyneinite or
nitroglyerine, floating it down
this stream below the hole and
and touching it oif to form a
dfuri and thus cauirit the well to
flow water from the mouth.
This underground stream of
water fiowa briskly, and while
its size is unknot n. there i3 no
doubt but that it would furnish
a continuous stiff.m of water
from a six :o tyu inch pipe, this
being .sutlicient t. irrigate thht
whole t rritory or furnish a city
of fifty thot. -and people with
