The recent STRENGTHENING law for this city
the result of the best Judgment of men and
women who had studied the question long and
diligently, and there can be no doubt in any
reasonable mind that il properly enforced this
law would give clean streets from one years
end to the other. But comes Mayor Gil.
roy finding fault with the present system and
insisting that it would be better not to do the
street cleaning by regularly organized force,
but to introduce the small contract plan. 1t il
unfortunate that the chief magistrate of the city
should make such suggestion now or at any
other time. There is no call for change in the
system. What is needed is the enforcement of
the law as it stands and the prosecution of the
work of cleaning the streets without regard for
politics or any other cx.rancous consideration.

Just two weeks remain for the completoh Oh
the Legislatures work. The Senate yesterday
accented the Assembys resolution fixing April
90 as the date of adjournment. There are some
important measures to be acted upon and there
are also good many jobs whose defeat Is
called for in the public interest. In such
Legislature as the present one unusually des-
perate efforts will be made in the closing DAYS
to get the jobs through. In one way 1t IS
fortunate that the Democratic majority IN the
Senate is crippled, since no partisan bills can
now be passed. Constant vigilance and stead!
opposition to bad measures are demanded OF
every Republican in both houses.

Two small boys walked up Connect

were rosy-cheeked young fellows, each
about thirteen years old. One of them
carried a big doll in his arms and the
other pushed a dolls carriage in which
reposed a much-dilapidated china doll.
They walked along quietly, changing
with each other. just as they reached
the corner of West avenue three other
small boys saw them. They ran out to
the street and the freckled-faced leader
of the small gang sneered: law gid

The boy with the rag doll stopped,
as did his companion.
They laid down their dolls carefully
on the curbstone. Then the boy who
had had the rag doll ran up to The boy
with the freckled face and hit him a
straight. hard blow in the face. The
freckled-face youth was a bit ratified,
but he soon gathered himself together
and shouted, ''come on, fellers," and in
| less than two seconds there was the
prettiest kind of a mix on the sidewalk.
The two boys stood shoulder to shout

vans. 1t was but , very short time
until the three West avenue boys had
enough. They turned and ran down
the street, first firing a few stones at
the victorious doll carriers. The other
boys picked up their dolls and walked
slowly along.

with heart grown weary Of the heat,
And hungry for the breath
Of held and farm, with eager feet

Above the dinyy roofs it stood,
A dome of tossing. tangled spears,
Dark, cool and sweet as any wood.

Laughed on me through the haze OF morn,
The tranquil presence of the corn
Upon the salt wind from the sea.
Borne westward swift as dreams
OF boyhood are, l seemed to be
Once more a part OF sounds and CLEANS
Thrown on me by the winds Of morn
Amid the rustling rows OF corn.

The old wild wizardry again

On boyhood's easy joy or pain.

Echoing down the walls of corn.

As wood to Daniel Boona)
Wherein We hunted wolves and men.
And ranged and twanged the green bassoon

Than pumpkin vine amid the corn.

Slow swelling in the August sun.

And joined again the stealthy run.

Within the shadows OF the corn.

THE COSSACk'S STRATAGEM.

A Russians Tricky Way of Opening "
Other Peoples Pocketbooks.
During the Turco-Russian war, in
which the Roumanian army played no
small part, l spent some time in
Bucharest. having business with tho
war department there. One day as I
was on the way to a distant fort in the
company of some friends and officials,
our sledges stopped at an inn on the
road, and while we were refreshing
ourselves with a hot beverage peculiar
to the country we heard cries and
lamentations. Going outside we saw a
Russian Cossack leading a very lame
horse. upon which, between his sobs of
grief, he bestowed every possible en-
enlargement to urge it onward. The
poor beast, however, fell nearly in
front of the inn, and to all appear
ances died. At this the Cossack's
grief knew no bounds; he fell upon the
horses neck, covered it with kisses,
and seemed quite heart-broken.
The scene touched the hearts of all,
and we soon made a handsome collec.
ton to compensate the poor man for
his loss. He thanked us p~rofusely,
and. removing the saddle from the
horse, swung it on his back and left us.
We were watching him walking away,
when, having reached a safe distance,
he stopped and gave a peculiar shrill
whistle. Then we saw galloping to
his master the very horse which he had
left for dead. 1t did not take the mar
long to swing himself ON his steed,
and a few moments after he disap.
peared at a turning in the road. When
l returned to the town / learned that
the man was well known, and had per-
formed this trick on several occasions.
