Comfortably wrecked.

1t is a %lamentable fact that constant
repetition tends to strengthen belief In
a story until it grows into a sort of ira
clifton that no n Cares or cares to dis
pute. Such was the case with tho tale
Of Joel Goodhope's ~wrecking. For
years he had spun his yarn before the
Gre in the little shoemaker's shop, and
the village YOUTH had listened with
eyes extended. thrilling at the thought
of the torn sails, the uncertain drifting
and the final striking of the vessel upon
the shore
To Joel's credit it may be said that
his account never wired, not even in
the appalling infiectioa of his tones.
A stranger came into the village, and
n dreadful evening, never to be for
gotten by joel. sat with the others he
fore the cobbler's cheering blaze. They
were listening once more to Joel's mar
rative.
Had We been long outen provisions?"
inquired the stranger.
"Well, no." replied Joel; I'VE had
food enough"
You was a.coming to Squam, any
way, wasn't yery'
Eyes. we were coming to Squam,"
said the unsuspecting Joel.
"She landed putty near where the
cap'n wanted hery' persisted the stran-
ser.
"Well, yes, bout ten foot from the
wharf" said Joel, growing Il little net
tied.
You say you run along the bowsprit
and jumped off. Did yer git wet anyY''

pened to-"
well" pursued the seeker after in
formation, you live putty nigh right
ON the beach; you couldn't got very wet
running homer"
Joel was obliged to acknowledge to
the dry state.
Well" said the stranger after n long
pause, II call that a tolerable comf't-
able wreckin."
A silence fell on the listeners, and
Joel went out and shut the door quietly,
feeling that somehow he had been
robbed.-Youth's Companion.

Nfnlsing writing Ensx.

1t is always a task for a traveller to
write home. The jar of the cars, the
uncertainty of a boats equilibrium and
the constant lookout for sights and
novelties make writing almost a bngbear
to travellers. 1t is difficult to write even
a postal card.
Approaching this need for something
to assist the tourist in his home letter
writing, a down east" Yankee has had
several thousand postal cards printed
like this:
DEAR -: | am well and hope you are well
also. reach - next -. Address me there.
Remember me to -. The Weather is -. |
am having a - time. Must stop now. -
Yours. -.
The cards have not been placed on
sale yet. But the ingenious inventor
hopes great things from them.-New
York Recorder.

The grading of Franklin street out to
Murray Hill is advancing as rapidly
as unfavorable weather will permit.
The bill from Cathedral street is be-
ing cut down and the adjacent ravine
filed up to the established grade. The
immense advantage of this improve
ment to the property at Murray Hill
will soon be apparent. With comtor-
table grade for walking or driving and
broad and handsome approach,
Murray Hill property holders will
realize their great gain of this truly
important city improvement. The
opening of Franklin street at once de-
velops and consolidates with city
property the fine locations at Murray
Hill. The city has greatly needed this
addition to its available building lots
and houses will soon be dotted over this
very desirable section. An early selec-
ton and purchase of your lots will be
greatly TO your interest. Values will
raise and the best lots will soon be
taken.

Don't Wait too Long.

The wol kmen have been busy, even
during the unfavorabe weather of the
past week, pushing work upon the
West Annapolis bridge, which will
connect that delightful suburb with
Melvin's Truck Farms on the Severn
river. Contractor Glow has succeed

lumberrequired to build the bridge and
the floor timbers are being rapidly
