pathetic to uit the Colonel.
There are some people who have no
imagin1 ton, but cling to the literal
with painful assiduity. Jim BlaiSdell
was one of these. and his happy facul-
ty of taking things seriously lost him
an elegant wife.
1t was this way. Colonel Lafitte is
n Southcrner and very sensitive, espe-
cially about his general appearance,
which is quite distinguished. He
rather liked Jim, and Jim dotted on
the colonies daughter, and it was a
foregone conclusion in the family that
Jim would win the girl, as the father
was on his side
One day the colonel took Jim out to
ride behind his cantankerous Ken
lucky mare, and she kicked the dash
board of the buggy into smithereens
and landed both gentlemen by the
roadside
This wouldn't Wave been so bad, as
neither of them was hurt, and the
colonel was doing the driving, but Jim
had to discover a fracture in the

the colonel, who was looking for the

And that is why Jim didn't marry
the colonel's daughter.

The mining OF coal in the bed of the

sufficient Importance to attract the

existence of the coal is simple.

There was a congregation once in
the early days of Connecticut who
called new minister, whom they had
never seen, to their pulpit But when
the day of the installation arrived
they were confronted by two preach
crs, each claiming to be the veritable
man. One rested his claim on having
black coat, the other on having an
installation sermon in his pocket.
After a lengthy debate on the situa-
ton, the elders of the church arrived
at the following conclusion: That
either the man without sermon had
stolen his coat, or else the man with
out the coat had stolen his sermon;
SO they rejected both.

CommIrrkk ON NOMINATIONS.


A Now Plan Adopted I'm Making Spe-
Between Aldermen Macdonald and
Hller.
A little tilt between Aldermen A. Maxcy
KILLER and J. b. Macdonald was the par
ticular sensation Of the meeting of the
committee on nominations last evening.
For number of years past 1t has been the
custom of this committee TO resppoint a.
special constables all who during the year
past had held that office, but this year the
spirit of municipal reform has so far ex-
tended itself as to even embrace under Its
wings the committee on nominations, of
which Alderman ]. 81. MscD Donald is chair
man. At the outset 1t was announced that
the committee would recommend only such
persons as thought sufficiently of the sp-
pointment TO present themselves before the
COMMITTEES and state explicitly their req
sons for Wishing to be appointed, and those
who made regular application through the
court of common council
Shortly altar the meeting had been called
to order Alderman Killer appeared and
presented the names Of four persons whom
he desired should be appointed special con-
stables. he especially urged the claims Of
one whom he desired should be appointed
special constable at the free public library.
Alderman Macdonald explained to him
that the committee had decided not to
recommend any one for appointment az
oept those who had regularly made appli-
cation to the court of common council for
appointment, and whose applications had
been referred to the committee on nomina-
lions.
This nettled Alderman Hitler who said
that he would have his nominees passed
by the board of aldermen by unanimous
consent.
ooh, no you won't" replied Alderman
Macdonald, "you seem to forget that I am
q member of that body"
This settled the matter and the alder
man from the First ward retreatsd. The
only nominations which thecommittse will
are the following: August

W. Il. Williams, William Merwin, John
