l.. 1. Cloud, of Omaha, in Chicago paper
says: Last summer the girl kept complain
ing that she could never find any eggs In
the barn did not think much Of it at first,
but finally when the complaint was repeat
ed almost every day I began to .hink it was
rather strange that we should not get more
than three or four eggs when we had at
least five dozen hens, and so determined to
look into the matter. It was more than q
week, though, before / solved the mystery,
and then it was merely by accident. / was
standing in the barn one Sunday morning
when q hen came cackling from her mes. in
the manger, and few minutes after big
rat came from his hole, ran across the barn
and climbed into the manger. / could hear
him, and was idly watching to see what be
was doing, when you can imagine my sur
prise to see him rolling the egg In front Of
him toward the edge Of the Manager. After
good many efforts he finally succeeded
BE paused there, gathering the egg up IN
der his "cnin;" he rolled himself complete
~ around it, resembling the form of
hedgehog when alarmed, then he deliber-
ately rolled over the edge of the manger
and dropped sqnareiy on his back on the
floor. two feet below, thus saving the egg
whole. Immediately he began to sQueal
with all his strength. sand just as was
starting to put him out of his misery, think
ing he had broken his back IN the fall, two
other rats appeared on the scene. They ran
up to the first one, as be lay on the floor,
and each seizing hold of hind leg began to
drag him, egg and all, across the barn. Just
as they reached the hole, and the first old
grizzled follow disappeared, pushing the
egg in front Of him, it dswned on me that
had at last found out where our eggs had
been gong.

PAVING CHAT.

The parties who have been very much
interested in paying and favoring that
improvement were very much Disguised.
They seemed to think that it would be a
difficult task to get the majority of the
council to look favorably on the matter.
The slap of few hours before was very
unexpected to some while others claim
they never had any great hopes of favor
able consideration.
A gentleman owning property on Waco
avenue is of the opinion that the Douglas
avenue movement was started with
the intention of giving the paving
scheme a black eye. He said
that no one for moment supposed that it
is time to pave the avenue. He had not
heard of movement of that sort until the
resolution appeared. The action Of the
council on that matter of course was ex-
pected but that had nothing to do with
Waco avenue. According to his mathe-
MATES the majority Of the property own
ers on the avenue who live in the city are
in favor of paving, which would, in his
opinion, call for very different action.
He was apprised by an anti-paving fell
low that the remonstrance shows major
ity and he could not see how both could
be in the lead. This was answered
by stating that question would be settled
before the public improvement committee
which he hoped wonld be able to hold a
meeting in few days to consider the
question.
The superintendent of the water COM
pany stated that he is of the opinion that
his company in the event that the council
should decide to pave certain street the
company would get the main in proper
condition. He also stated that should
paving sbe ordered any place
that would cover their wooden main
it would in all probability be removed and

"A LITTLE FAST.

Some Of the parties living along Fifth,
Mead and Washington avenues, between
Douglas avenue and Central avenue, are
complaining again about the inconven-
lence and danger experienced daily from
rapid moving of trains, and interference
with crossings. About a year ago the
matter was discussed in the city council
and some one appointed to pray to some
one for change The effort was thought
productive of some good, but the tendency
20 revert to the same Inconvenience Is
plainly discovered.
Mr.. Flagg, of the Globe iron works,
stated that often he has seen the Santa
F'e Gro ssing on First street blocked twenty
and thirty minutes when the street on
both sides would be blocked with car
riages. Yesterday morning he reports
that it was blocked for twenty minutes by
cars being handled by the switch engine.
One time he says the fellows handling the
engine made mistake and the last car
passed the center of the street few feet.
A man in a carriage made an attempt to
get across and the engine backed out
and came near catching him, with brake
man and engineer laughing at the situa-
passenger train south sometimes comes
down through that part of the city cover
ing fifteen or twenty miles an hour. This
usually occurs in the morning when posi-
bly, the engineer is hungry and wants some
of Col. Lamonts depot coffee and biscuits.
Another gentleman talking on the mat
ter stated that they did not
like to be run over daily and
put to such inconvenience in the
face Of the fact that there are supposed to
be ordinances that should be enforced. He
states that the probabilities are that the
council at It's next meeting will be petit
toned to try and bring about a change
A member of the council was accosted
on the question and said he had no doubt
but that the council would do all in it's
power to bring relief. He stated that he
knew nothing of the situation; had never
heard that the crossings were being
blocked, and if they are it would be good
plan to lubbock" them.

The cities OF Washington are In the
midst Of summer Of bitter expert
cnees. Only one month has passed
since the best part Of Seattle was
swept away by ere, bat Ia that brief
period txo other cities of the territory
have passed through alike experience.
Vancouver suffered from disastrous
fire two weeks ago. and now Eilens-
burg reports oenfiagra,ion which for
the extent of the loss aud size OF the
area burnt over was not less disastrous
In proportion to the size Of the town
than was the fire which devastated
Seattle.
Seattle can feel for her sister city in
this calamity sympathy all the
stronger because she has herself 50
recently felt the breath OF the flame.
Only those who suffer can really know
what suffering is. and the people of
Seattle can feel az no ore else can feel
the extent of the calamity which has
hcfallcn the people Of Ellenshurg.
The experience which they are pass
ing through is the experience which
We passed through a month ago, and
the memory ei II Is so fresh that we
can extend our hand to our newly
stricken sist~r knowing full well how
helpful is the clasp Of sympathy
and friendship AT such time.
Eilenseurg and Seattle are sisters In
calamity. Together they have felt the
heavy hand Of disaster, and together
they mus, recover from the blow aud
rise a. new greatness.
