This garden laboratory, in which the work was done, was very roughly equipped, supplied by a standpipe tap with water, and draining into a pipe that ran down into a swampy rush-bordered pool under an alder tree in a secluded corner of the common just outside the garden hedge.
We would run a standpipe up the side, and connect it with an oil pipe line, fill Gibraltar's tunnels and avenues, and magazines and barracks with crude oil, and touch a match to it, and not an Englishman would live to tell about it. Gee, but I would be sorry for the Irish soldiers, but I guess they wouldn't be there, cause they wouldn't fight America.
The weight of the column of water thus inclosed in the aquifer causes water to rise in the well, precisely as the weight of the water in a standpipe forces it in connected pipes to the upper stories of buildings. Which will supply the larger region with artesian wells, an aquifer whose dip is steep or one whose dip is gentle?
It is gayer." "There is poverty, of course," he went on after a moment, "and suffering. But the streets are not depressing. They have fun on the East Side. There are so many children and there is no loneliness. If the street is blessed with a standpipe, it seems designed as a post for leaping. Any vacant wall if the street is so lucky serves for a game.
Didn't mind the fat purses of the bigwigs and a little bread and water and the devil and his standpipe! But now they're singing another tune: That man! Why, he's been punished for theft! End of him. No one asks why; they've become big men, you see. In olden days I was always called Merry Jacob, and the fellows liked to be in my shift. Do you know what they call me now? Thieving Jacob.
Tom had caught sight of Eradicate and the giant, Koku, unreeling from a central standpipe a long line of hose. "Don't take that!" Tom cried. "Don't use that hose! Drop it!" "What's the matter? Is it rotten?" Ned wanted to know. "No, but if they pull it out the water will be turned on automatically." "Well, isn't that what you want at a fire water?" Ned demanded.
Suddenly the full stream from the standpipe spurted down. Larry promptly let go of his captive. Teddy was right in the path of the downpour, and the next instant he was struggling in the flood. The showman dropped him and started to run. Teddy let out a choking howl, grasping frantically for his tormentor.
How did what happened? Did you fall in a creek, or something of that sort?" The lad explained briefly how he had been captured by the two men and ducked under the standpipe of the water tank. "But I soaked him, too," Tucker added triumphantly." And I'm going to soak him again. The first man I come across whose name is Larry is going to get it from me," threatened the lad, shaking his fist angrily.

This pinnacle, which ripens to a fine claret colour when suffused with sunset, we had presumed to be a church tower, but were surprised, on exploration, to find it a standpipe of some sort connected with the Croton water system. Sunday morning in this neighbourhood has its own distinct character. There is a certain air of luxurious ease in the picture.
