ceived by committee composed of the
| most active members of the Humane soci-
ETY.. The Odd Fellows hall will be occu-
pied all day with ladies engaged in repair-
| ing the clothes donated for the benefit of
! the poor.
The call for donations of this kind made
| by the society some days ago has been re-
sponded to quite generously and it is
thought most of the poor children can be
| fitted out today. Should more apply than
is on the list prepared by Agent Lew As
pey and the supply on hand prove INSULT
cient; they will get the additional parties
In need and proceed to collect more cloth
ing until the work is ended
The society is quite anxious to have all
prepared to enter school next Monday,
when the school work commences after
the holidays.
In addition to providing clothing for the
poor children, enabling them to attend
school, the society is making no little eff
fort to relieve the poor in providing food
and fuel They have number of desti-
tute families under their care and are
making allowances as liberal as their
means will permit.
DR.. Durand, commissioner of the county
poor, reports the demand for aid greater
than it was last year at this time. He
finds many destitute families coming here
from other counties, mostly from the west,
and some from Oklahoma. They are trav-
cling through in wagons and make aDpli-
cation for aid He is endeavoring tojudge
as best be can the most deserving cases
and placing the funds where most needed.

THE JAsPERITE CONTRACTOR.

Mr.. Robert F. Wilson of Chicago Doug
las avenue paving contractor, is in the
city looking after his paving business. lie
says that he shall proceed to make the
Douglas avenue paving better than the
the contract calls for and when that is
done be will expect to get pay for it and
rot before. He says the defective pave
ment is due to defective work, brought
about mainly from the temperature when
the paving was put down and from yield
ing TO the demand for opening up the
street before the cement had been given
time to solidify. Some of the blocks are
so bad that all will probably be taken up
and when the work is done over not opened
up until ready, no matter what the howl.

This is the last day of the year 1890. 1t
is gone with its joys and sorrows, and but
a scsnt day left in which to add to the
sum of the one or of the other And a
swift retrospect convinces us that the dis
appointment and disaster side Sis much
the greater The troubles and failure
and blasted hopes lay heaped up, heaped
up so high that the light of other years
fails to react or cheer many responding
hearts. But as there is really no past,
except as it is remembered in the present,
the best thing probably to do under the
circumstances is not to look back at all,
but forward TO the sunshine which the
year opening tomorrow morning may hold
in recompensing triumphs and in victories.
