A GOD SUGGESTION.

Mr. EDIToR:-Why dent our city
Councilmen publish the proceedings of
their meetings like the County
Commissioners do every month? This
would certainly be more satisfactory
to the tax payers of the town. As it
is now we cannot tell what they are
doing and in what manner our monies
are disposed Of. The people have =
right to know and they should know.
l therefore recommend to the new board
(sson to be elected) that this be done,
and further suggest that this be acted
upon at the frat meeting they hold.
For the good Of all concerned,
lam yours truly,
AN OLD CITIZEN.

THE BLACK AND WHITE CAT ONLY MrwEp

the black cat was only black, the white
cat was only white, but he, behold him!
he was black and white both
One day he said he could climb tho
apple-trce, up to tho tip-top. The
black cat said she did not think he
could. The white cat said he couldn't
get back if he did.
Tho black and white cat was vcxed,
and started mp the tree as fast as he
could go. He never looked back till he
was up where the limbs were small.
Thcn-wcll. then, when he stopped
and looked down, he began to mewl
Tho limb was so small he didn't see
how he ever could turn about on it to
come back He was Gerry frightened
moved pitifully.
The black cat and the white cat both
laughed and scampered off to the house.
When Jack and Jess saw the two
without their brother, they wondered
what had become OF him and started to
search.
Then they heard the loud and pitiful
mewing up in the young applc-trec.
Jachtclimbcd up on the little fence
about the tree and conxed, but for a
long time the black and white cat only
mewed. At last he tried to turn about
on the limb, but he slipped and fell
not to the ground, however. Somehow
he caught and chung to the limb below,
and he was now facing the right way to
come down, but he was too frightened
to take another step. lie just chung
there and mewed and mewed.
Jess went in and got saucer of milk.
Still tho black and white cat would not
bulge an inch. He did not seem to care
at all for coaxing or for milk.
Jack and Jess were almost in despair,
when the black and white cat spied the
other two coming from the house. He
was so afraid they would make fun of
him that he started down the limb to-
ward the trunk as fast as he could go.
And then-partly because he was in
such haste, partly because the bark
was smooth and his claws would not
stick into it going down as they did 60
ing up-he slipped, and fell right into
the saucer of mill1
So pride had a fall; and the black cat
and the white cat came up just in time
to see it all. OF course the black cat
and the white cat laughed. Jack
laughed, too; laughed louder even than
the cats.
The black and white cat was SO NOR
titled he went off in the deep grass, and
licked the milk from his fur-nnd was
a meek cat all the rest of that day

How 1t Happened to Lead to Very
Funny Misunderstanding.
An observant old gentleman was once
travelling on steamboat up the Uud-
son river. Presently he happe ned to
see q quecrly shaped boat near the OPP
posite bank.
Halo, capt" he called out. That
looks like Nile boat, doesn't it?"
ut is an lie boat. SIR" replied the
captain.
"Nonsensc!" said the old gentleman,
testify. "What would Nile boat be
doing on the North river? But it looks
exactly like one!'
81 tell you it is an lie boat" said the
captain again.
And tell you you don't know what
you are talking about" replied the old
gentleman, decidedly. "IIow could a
Nile boat get here? And what do you
know about Nile boats, anyhow"
These insinuations were too much for
the captain. He got angry
