Q. railroads, where. employment for
a good number of laborcrs will soon
be furnished.
While the contractors will no
doubt make some money on their
contract--and the PosT earnestly
hopes they may-still, because they
accept bonds in payment for the
work the erroneous idea should not
get ahoat that the city is not to get
a building actually worth $4,000
in return for her expenditure. The
investigation of this matter has been
in the hands of careful, competent
and trustworthy gentlemen, who
made it a special point to compare
plans and inquire into the actual
cash cost of other similar building
and have found, to their satisfaction
that the building to be put up would
cost equally as much were the CIT.
paying cash down for it.
1t is certainly very fortunate fol
the city that this opportunity was
offered instead of being forced to tht
necessity of attempting to place he1
bonds on the market While The
bonds are perfectly good and safe
still in these hard times it is rathe
difficult to raise money on any klnf
of bonds at respectable prices.
The bonds are to run Tor thlrt.
years and bear five per cent mtetcst
Eighty-fivc cents on the dollar OF
these bonds is better than nlnet,
cents for six per cent. bonds, whlcl
is the best price ever yet obtained b.
a neighboring city Of ours, claiming
four times our population, for her sl'
per cent. bonds.

THE CORRECT THING TO Do.
- -
Plans of a Magnificent ToWr
Hall and City Jail Under
Consideration.
A Building that Would be Credit
to Our Plucky City,.
six Per Cent. Offered t'sc City On the
$4,000 Required 90 Erect the
Building.

six Per Gent. offered t'.c City On the
$4,000 Required 90 Erect the
Building.
At Council meetings Monday night
plans for a modern and magnificent
town hall and city jail were submit
ted and left in the hands Of COM
mittec for their consideration.
The proposed building is far ahead
of anything yet talked of along this
line, and is of a style that would be a
credit to city of %, 600 inhabitants.
The building, as planned, will be
model of perfection, containing cells,
office-rooms, apartments for city
seargent and family, mayors office,
hook and ladder and fire company
rooms. council chamber or town hall,
with seating capacity of 800 to
600, and other convenenccs.
The building is to be of brick and
stone and is of an attractive style OF
architecture.
1t is to be hoped that the council
will take hold of this matter as they
have the public school building, and
not do it by halves While the sub
iect was being discussed last Mon
day night a responsible business man
of the town said he would gladly pay
the city 5000 rents per annum for
the hall, which he would fit up with
stage. scenery, etc, and use as an
opera hall and for public meetings of
different kinds.
The building will cost somewhere
in the neighborhood Of $4,000, SO,
as will be seen, should the city see
fit to lease the hall the above offer
alone would give 6 per cent on the
amount invested besides what would
be realized from rents for the Offices
in the building
Gcn'l Ayers was present and pro
posed, in the event the present plans
were adopted, to furnish free a hand
some, four-faced, town clock for the
tower, free of cost to the city.

The Spring,

OF all seasons in the year, is the one
for making radical changes to health.
During the winter, the system becomes
to certain extent clogged with waste,
and the blood loaded with impurities
owing to lack OF exercise, close confine-
ment in poorly ventilated shops and
homes, aDd other causes. This is the
cause of the dull, sluggish, tired feeling
so general at this season, and which
must be overcome, or the health may
be entirely broken down. Hoods sarsa-
parilla has attained the greatest popul-
arity all ever the countery as the favor
ito Spring Medicine. 1t expels the
accumulation of impurities through the
bowels, kidneys, liver, lungs and skin,
gives to the blood the purity and quality
necessary to good health and oyercomes
that tired feeling.

Diamond Dinner Club.

Here is good idea. Get together
Ten married couples and organize
.-Diamcnd Dinner Club" Each gent
lrman - subscribe ten dollars and pur-
Chase diamond ring or bracelet. The
ladies then each in turn are to provide
a dinner for The club. and after the ten
dinners have been disposed Of, then
call a meeting and the ten gentleman
shall vote as 10 who provi9 ID the best
meal. In order To avoid partially no
gentleman should vote for his own wife,
nor should he be Influenced by her VINO
TO vote for. The ballotsto be prepared
with the names written thereon, and
collected by one of tn ladies who shall
be appointed teller. The vote shall be
counted and the lady rec ivIng the ma
iority Of votes cast shall be awarded
The diamond ring. This will not only
be productive of great deal of pleas
ure. but will teach the ladies' how to
arrange many fancy little dishes and
also the wisdom of using Horsford' s
Baking Powder in their cakes.

Little Willie was very tired of winter
He had enjoyed the new snow and the
rides in his sleigh, and was never tired
Of talking about Christmas, but one
hundred days Of sleighing were toe
many for Willie, and he could hardly
wait for summer. Day after day
mamma heard the same anxious ques-
ton: when will it be summer days
when the dandelions Gomez And
mamma said encouragingly: by and
by, darling"
But ! don't like the word Of cg and
by, mamma; like the word Of now
said he, with sad look in his big brown
eyes.
At last it came the twenty-eighth day
Of February, and mamma said: Come.
Willie, cuddle up in your chair; | want
TO tell you something" So he climbed
into the sleepy hollow chair and curleo
down like little kitten, all in a heap

Tom Jones was little fellow, and
not so quick to learn as some boys; but
nobody in the class could beat him in
his lessons. He rarely missed in geog-
raphy, never in spelling, and his arith-
metic was always correctly done; as for
his reading no boy improved like him.
The boys were fairly angry sometimes,

JoHNNY's MEDICINE.
The Reason why the Youthful Doctor
Do Not Practice ANY More.

The Reason why the Youthful Doctor
DO Not Practice ANY More.
Johnny's papa is doctor, and some
times Johnny thinks he is one, too.
He and Annie, his little four-year-old
sister, had a great many happy hours
playing with their bread-crumb pills
and bottles of sweetened water; but
they do not play so now.
One morning Nellie went TO the
nursery, but soon came rushing back
with an empty bottle in her hand, and
a very white, scared face.
20 mother, come quickl Johnny and
Annie have been taking laudanum!'
run for your father, quick" cried
mamma.
How those children were trottsd
about to keep them awake until papa
came! Then how sick they were, for
papa made them swallow lots Of medi-
cine.
Everyone was so excited that Johnny
could not get a chance to speak, though
he tried very hard At last papa said
he guessed they were all right, and
could rest awhile, and mamma tucked
them both into her bed
How do you feel, Johnny? Better
aren't Y ou?" asked papa, and Johnny
answered Indignantly:
Better should think so! Nell saw
us drinking sweetened water out of an
empty laudanum BOTTLE
Papa tasted the drop that was left in
the bottle and looked at mamma with
n queer smile.
II think they hardly got fair dose
OF it, said he. There is just little
taste of the laudanum, but not enough
10 hurt them"
I'm glad, said mamma.
'I'll never touch another bottle so
long as live" sobbed Johnny.
So we haven't any DR. Johnny at our
house now, and Annie ENJOYS remark
ably good health-for her. Youths

tomorrow Irs. Spring is con, ing. She
will roll up this white blanket of snow
and bring out all The dandeliors."
o, how HAPPY Willie was when he
sprang up and said .WilI it be sum
mer days Tomorrow"
1t viii be a spring day dear Mrs
Spring viii begin her work to-mor-
row"
But tomorrow came, and after look
ing and thinking quite awhile. Willie
decided that spring days were very
much liIxe winter days Coming ont of
tbs bedroom, where she has inst left
the D by asleep mamma found the lit
tle n. n eurled up in the chair. and he
said tearfully. as lie lifted up his tum-
bled curly head: "She didn't roll it
up"
Then mamma took him in her lap
and told him al, about it. You see.
dear, Mrs. Spring can't roll up such a
thick blanket in a day To-day she is
eoaxing it to melt, coaxing with her
smiling sun; some days YOU will see
she will get out her strong winds and
drive the snow away and some other
days she will send great pouring rains
and drown the snow. And all this
time the sleepy little dandelions will
be stirring, down in the earth and get
ting ready TO come up"
So Willie watched Mrs. Spring. and
every day he could tell just what she
was doing. But there came a day when
il seemed very doubtful about her She
was neither smiling, driving nor drown
| ing. A heavy snow was falling. Willie
stood watching it pile up in the yard,
| when mamma said: willie, Old Win
ter has really gone. but he is just
around the corner, and to-day just for
fun he's throwing back snow. But Mrs.
Spring will manage it all nicely before
| long"
20 yes! it's just for fun" said Willie,
with gay little laugh. as he ran to
his play. And that very afternoon
! he had to dance and laugh
again to see Mrs. Spring and Fa-
Their Winter play Il spy" First she
would flash out with her smiling sun,
and then, before You knew it, she was
gone, and old winter was peepiug
round the corner, shaking snowflakes
/ everywhere.
And now she's throwing them right
back" said Willie, as strong wind
whirled the snow away. So Willie
waited and watched and tried to be
| patient, for mamma said: THAT dan
delions are beginning to drink, in such
a funny way, right through their little
toes. "-Northern Advocate.
