The story Shat tells of swans singing
before death is very old, and Of course il
founded upon fancy. The idea has been
brought down from ancient myths. The
voice Of the swan is extremely harsh
and disagreeable, without a single mu.
steal note in it. and no good reason can
be found for likening some Of the worlds
sweetest poets to this unmelodious voiced
fowl.
The only approach to a v~eriication
we have ever seen is the following,
clipped some years ago froma Virginia
newspaper:
"A sporting friend, recently returned
from a foray upon the Potomac river,
below Mount Vernon, was the guest of a
venerable and highly intelligent lady.
who has always lived on the Potomac.
Speaking of the swan, she gave it as her
decided opinion that this bird was in the
habit of singing or making a plaintiye
noise when dying. The reason she gave
for entertaining this belief was that on
very many occasions in the last so years
she had been awakened at night by a
sweet and exceedingly sad noise. some
thing like the tones of a ~fiageolet coming
over the water, and that on every sub
sequent morning a dead swan was found
to be floating on the water or to have
been washed ashore. "-Pittsbury Dis.

The claim of ex-Treasurer Arnold
for one months salary then came up on
the presentation OF a new bill for the
claim. the old one having been disal-

the case ensued. but no definite conclu-

The question of having a city weigher
was next discussed. and all favoring the
idea, a motion prevailed instructing the
city attorney to prepare and present to
the Council at its next meeting the draft
OF an ordinance creating the Office of
city weigher, and defining his duties,
etc. and the Council thereupon ad-
journed.

Owing to the failure, by reason Of the
Worlds Fair attraction, to hold a meet
ing during the month OF October, the

ton OF business awaiting it's notice and
disposal last night. All members of the
Council, the mayor and the city attor-
pey were present.
Under reports eff committees Alder
man Glib of the committee on streets
and alleys reported the immediate me-
cessity of replacing or repairing several
crossings OH Main street. This induced
a discussion as to the condition of the
street, which ripened into a conclusion
that now was the time to scrape off and
deposit elsewhere a large amount Of the
surplus material that caused the road
way to be higher thar the sidewalks.
and on motion of Aid. McIntire the CON-

Why the Beef was Tough.

That there are some things about
frontier life which are more enjoy
able than others the frontiersman is
free to admit. Among the few mat
ters he would have otherwise, he
gives the first place to the tough
Hrange" or snow fed beef upon
which he must needs subsist.
"I heard a story once" said he,
about young man, tenderfoot,
who after long wondering what made
the beef 30 fearfully tough at length
arrived at the solution, as he thought,
and that quite by accident He was
riding out with a friend, an old resi-
dent, when they CHANGED to come
upon a bunch of cattle.
''The young man seemed to be
studying over something, and finally
he pointed to an animal which bore
the brand B. C. AS

little anxious about the engagement,

Irene had a very short illness-in
fact, her death was almost sudden,
and on the night Of her death Amy,
who had gone to bed early, had tooth
ache very badly and went down stairs
to get something to relieve the pain.
She went into back room looking

Prince and station Nrn.tor.

The death of Mr.. Henry Farnham, who
was for many years station master at
Takeley, one of the village stations on
the Great Eastern Railway company's
Witham, Braintree and Bishops Stort-
forl branch line, recalls an amusing in
cident in which the Prince of Wales
played leading part. A few years ago
the prince and party Of distinguished
guests alighted at TalSeley for the pur-
pose of visiting Lord aud Lady Brooke
at Easton Lodge, Essex. BY some
means the Prince of Wales became de-
tached from the rest Of the party, and
did not reach the barrier until q few
minutes after the others had passed.
Mr.. Farnham was doing duty as ticket
collector, and not then knowing the
prince he promptly accosted him with
"Ticket, please"
The prince mentioned that he was one
Of Lord Brooke's party. The station
master was not. however, satisfied with
the statement, and he firmly refused to
allow his royal highness to pass unless
he produced ticket or furnished his
name and address. Satisfactory expla-
nations were eventually forthcoming
and the prince was permitted to rejoin
the party. Though somewhat embar.
raised when he learned the princes iden-
tity, the station master was not greatly
perturbed, Indeed he received tho in.
telligence with the philosophical ques.
ton. why didn't he tell me that be
was the Prince of Wales" His royal
highness heartily enjoyed the incident.
His royal highnees seldom visits Easton
Lodge without being reminded jocularly
Of his attempt TO ride without a ticket.
