Nothing but Water.

1 sat on a bench in West Grand Circus Park the other day to rest my legs and hear tbe splash of the big fountain. There was a chap alongside -of me who watched the play of the waiters for a long time with gieat eagerness. Then he got up and walked around the basin to inspect it, and when he finally came bnck to me he heaved a great sigh of relief and sad: “It’s nothing but water, after all.” Some one had probablv told him that the fountains were wasting four or five barrels of beer every mimuto. —Detroit Free Press.
