WHAT THE PEOPLE say.

Dakota, shake The East, your eldest
sister,
Is not so flip as you, in certain things,
And first-class billiards heretofore have
missed her
But now we think weyegot there with
out wings
Can you show up exaggerated zephyrs,
That knock out railroads, telegraph
and things2
There isq.t 9,, any rhyme to this but
And that don't fit whereof your poet
sings).
But really, don't you think that we have
shown you
You haven't got corner on the
weather.
In fact we're so well-stocked that we
could loan you
A breeze to Stimulate your prairie
heather.
But yesterday, our wires were oil pros
trated
With temperature very close to zero,
But now they're very nearly reinstated
God bless the linemen Every ones
hero.
Cyclones we haven't done much with at
present
You see we have commenced a little
But wait till Greedy makes the thing more
pleasant.
And then, perhaps, we'll spring one on
you-wait

The arabian Loaf probI om.

EDITOR CRITIC; The problem is proba-
bly, based on the idea that they ate all the
loayes. If they did not and it is not
stated how many they ate, then there is
no problem. Having eaten all, and eaten
equally, they ate 2a loaves each. The
man who had 3 loaves ate all he had, ex-
cept of a loaf The stranger ate "a
must have eaten 2h or 7-3 loaves
from the man who had loaves, and
consequently the man with loaves
should get pieces of money and the
man with 3 loaves should get only
piece of money. DAM

THE AouEDuor BRIDGE.
An Early Completion Of the New struc-
ture Assured.

turo Assured.
In his February report on the recon-
structiou of the Aqueduct Bridge Colonel
Hains states that the side railing on the
structure does not possess sufficient sta
bility and will have to be rcmedied. On
the south approach sidewalk has been
constructed for a distance of about i5O
feet from the end of the bridge. The
south approach was not entirely com
pleted owing TO the failure of the Mount
Vernon Bridge Company to construct, at
the proper time, the remaining wall at
the south abutment. A temporary con-
struction has however, been adopted in
order to accommodate travel. During
the present month the work on the floor
and railing will be continued and will
claim primary consideration. Subse.
quently, painting and other details will
receive attention.

New Postofrice Quarters.

EDITOR Critic: Your suggestion as to
the occupancy of the old Ford Theatre,
later Army Medical Museum, for City
Postoffice purposes, is good one. 1t is
plenty large enough, convenient, availa-

see that Postmaster Ross cannot stay in
