FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, T9T4.
PATRCL WAGON TAKtS EVANGELISTS AROUND
Visit Jail and Cheer Prisoners There With Their Music and
1
Their Hymns.
Friday morning at 10:30 o'clock the Fife brothers and their sister, Bess Fife-Brooks he.ld a brief service at the police headquarters for the employes and the policemen. Immediately afterwards the chief ordered out the !ig patrol truck seating 18 and drove the Fife party down to the jail to sing for the prisoners. People who recognized the evangelists stared in open mouthed astonishment to see the patrol with ministers inside whiz through the downtown section with a gong clanging and a bi& policeman guarding the cloor. It was one of many interesting and novel experiences for the Fife brothers in their day's work.
Mrs. Brooks, accompanied by the matron, Mrs. O'Donnel, talked to the women briefly. The quartet sang "My Mother's Prayer Has Followed Me" and "The Lord Is My Shepherd," but before the strains of the last number died away a policeman-shepherd brought In a man with a badly gashed head who had been picked up at Third and Eagle streets.
As the Fife party were leaving the jail another man with bandaged head plucked Mr. Fife by the sleeve and said with tear-stained face: "Mr. Fife, won't you please call my sister at this number and tell her to go draw my pay and get me out of here."
SPARKS' SHIRT MAKES NOISE.
What is all that noise on the street? This question was asked in many places and was caused by the appearance of Ed Sparks on Wabash avenue, acting as a living model for his new lint, of spring shirts. And really, after one became accustomed to th6 commotion, effect of the combination of colors was startling, to say the least. The shirt is a Scotch plaid, containing green, blue and two shades of red, and the effect was heightened by a tie to match and a blue collar. Mr. Sparks says he will several of the boys wtaring similar shirts before long, but one of his prospectaive customers was unkind enough to say that he hoped he would be shot if he did.

FORKED 1WIG WIZARD Wins BET FROM CITV
Finds Water and Makes a Cemetery Desert Bloom Like a Rose—Also Wins Good Job.
MACON, Mo., Nov. 20.—The most prominent citizen In Macon just now is oJhn Wesley Carter, Esq., an humble toiler with pick and spade.
Yesterday Carter was a joke, a crank, a freak with wheels in his head. Today he's a prophet who's made good. He doesnt' need to go 'round town swelling up and saying "I told you so."

dut there for the flowers and gTass because that is far beyond the district of reservoir service. Asked how he knew, Carter said he could take the forks of of an apple or peach tree, and when the point went down toward the ground, despite his rigid holding of the switch, there would be water—no earthly doubt.
Some of the councilmen laughed. Councilman Bunton thought there might be something in the prongsition. He took the water locater aside and had a talk with him. Carter said if he didn't find water he didn't get anything—not a red. Bunton reported to the council. The mayor said he didn't believe in ghosts or witchos or water wizards, but he didni' see how the city could lose on that sort of a proposition. So a deal was struck last April and the water man went on the job $150

to discover gold or silver. Still he didn't ask any advice from,the city. When the well got down some distance he found he would need an assistant on top to empty the buckets. There were plenty of men wanting a job, but they didn't have the wizard's faith. They wanted the cash every Saturday night. But at last Carter found a man who believed in him and the two of them pegged away until the well was down seventy-five feet.
Finally when thewater wizard wau hauled out from the black hole his clothe? were covered with mud and his shoes were wet. "We've hit it," he said cjuietly to his faithful helper on top.
Next day there were ten feet of water in the well, clear as crystal. The wizard had turned tho laugh. At the next meeting of the council he was accorded a vote of thanks and offered the position of water commissioner.
The only tools Carter used were a shovel, pick and hoe. The dirt was sent aloft in candy, buckets on a pulley.

Wiesbach, of Lafayette, den.:ocratic candidate for city clerk in last year's city election there, is the first democrat to get one of the new revenue appointment plums.
