purpose of getting up petition to
THE Common Counci,s asking for en-
ploymeni on such public works as
can BE- prosecuted at this time. Oue
of the speakers said 'bat they called

The. New York Daily News, of

With truly pretty bonnet;
For when Or wherever you chance to meet
One that is perfectly modest and neat,
You may depend tis proof complete
That the head has more M than on it.

How much CT how little money she's got,
Whether she lives in mansion or cot

Is ore who, scorning this millner strife,
Wears a plain and tasteful bonnet.

No matter how many women yowsee
