Little Charley horri6ed his grown sp
sisters, and in fact the whole family one
day when they had company to dinner. BY
exelaiming in rather an unusual loud tone
Of voice, "Oh, clean tablecloth."
A family having rented house the new.
conner WAS looking over it, and the lady
owner was extolling it to the best Of her
ability, as she desired the family to remain.
| Coming to the bath room the lady tenant
ooliced that 1t was more chilly than 1t

There seems to be little doubt but what
Bath will secure the building Of Cruisers
10. II and 10. There 10 no reason Why
she should not. The rejection Of the bid
made for heir construction by Messrs.
Moore & Sons lsaves her the lowest bidder.
1t would not be . just thing to advertise
these vessels . second time In the face of
the exec llent bid made by this entefprising
