Some Of our citizens should pay enough
attention to their sidewalks to clean away
the snow Immediately after it falls. Some
of them simply made narrow path in
front of their house while others allowed
the pedestrians to tramp a way. Leaving
snow upon the sidewalks makes walking
very dangerous, for after it melts at night
II is liable to freeze and become very
slippery, thus endangeriug persons who
may be compelled to walk over it
especially old people. Why dOnt the
town council enforce the ordinance to

The Parson Was Right.

Elder Thompson, the famous Uni
v~ersalist preacher who died some years
ago, was once asked to marry a couple
whose religious views were at var
lance with his own. After the cere-
mony the bridegroom expressed his
entire satisfaction with the service. Il
don't see" he said, ''that you could
have done it any better if you'd be-
lieved in a hell" A little theological
discussion followed, in which Elder
Thompson advanced the dea that "a
man gets his hell in this world Two
years after Father Thompson met the
man again.
lyon remember you married meP"
the man said.
Yes"
"And that | said | hoped it would
be just rs happy n marriage rs if you
believed in a help"
You said something like that"
"And that YOU said some folks got
all their hell in this world?'
II might have said so."

incidents that occur to me that for
their ingenuity stand %unriyaled. The
first one occurred at Chicago Il year
AGO last winter. The writer, in COM
pany with a friend, was standing II
Sunday evening On the steps OF the
Clarendon hotel when a very tough
looking man approached with a weeks
growth of beard on his face and said:
Il am a thief. | have just been re-

supreme cheek of the mar gained him
the amount asked. The other Incl
dent was in Uuion Square Park, New
York, rs a party Of Us were coming
from the thcater. We were stopped
by u ragged individual with a small
kitten in his arms. He opened the
conversation Immediately and said:
Gents. maybe you think | am going
TO spar you for money, but | amt.
am not hungry or thirsty and have
a place to sleep, but have no cash. |
want a few pennies, not for myself,
but to bay some milk for this poor lit
tie starving cat, which | found crying
in this park" The party was for a
moment stunned, but amid roars OF
laughter a purse of nearly a dollar
was collected and given to the guard
ian OF the kitten.-Albany -1rguS.
