NO VACANCY.

my DEAR" said fond father to his
youngest daughter, ''come hither and
sit by me while l whisper few words
in your shell-like ear. List to nay gentle
voice as it coeth out to you in firm but
kindly tones. / observe with deep
feeling of regret that John Henry con-
tinues his visits here four nights in each
week, and I observe with still deeper
feelings of regret that you encourage
these visits. Nay, do not shake your
head, Mary Jane, for you meet him with
smiles. and it is not a wOman's nature
to smile and smile and be unwilling
still. Give the somber-hued past one
searching glance, Mary Jane. A few
wears ago your eldest sister, Ann Eliza
beth, brought home on the eve of sun
lit day blushlng young husband, and
they still occupy the parler chamber.
Then Catherine Maria became a happy
bride, and when the joyous couple re-
turned from their wedding tour they
took my room, while and your mother
moved to the attic. Next, Frances Eu-
genia brought home a clineing, fragile
youth of dyspeptic mould and humorous
cast of countenance, and / had to
plaster the room over the summer
kitchen. And only few short months
ago, when the last set of twins came,
was obliged to build an addition to the
south end. l feel now, my beloved
daughter, that must protest against a
further increase of family, except ay
the hand of Providence. As much as |
would like to see you happily welded.
cannot consent to take John Henry in
out of the cold. There is no room to
build another addition, and your fond
parents are growing too aged and in
firm to sleep in the w0odshed loft. John
Henry is doubtless an attractive youth,
but there is no vacancy for him in the
dOmicile."

The arrangements for the building Of
street railways in Seattle have come to q
temporary halt caused bv defect in
cur city charter which mast be rsmedied
before the companies can go on with
their preparations. The section OF the
charter referring TO the subject gives
the city power TO provide for grading
streets, laying street railway tracks, etc;
but goes on to say: But 10 railway
track can thus be located or laid down
until after the injury to property abut-
ting upon the street. alley or public
place upon which such track is proposed
TO be located aud laid down. has been
ascertained and compensated in the
manner provided for compensation of
injuries arising from re-grade Of streets
in section los of this act
Referring, now, to section Jos, il will
be found that no provision is there
made for compensation of such injuries
The railway companies are this put in
the rather peculiar position of being
compelled by the city 10 do a certain
thing, and Of running the risk of losing
