Aid. Kennedy again improved an
opportunity to be heard. when Ned
Kane without permission from that
body to speak, took occasion to adj
dress the council with reference to
ex-Policeman George Hetter being
employed on the street forces, main
tanning that the administration haG
seen fit to employ young men
like Hetter, and had dis
regarded the older tax payers whom,
he held, were more entitled TO con-
sideration than the younger men.
The mayor called Mr.. Kane to order
whereupon Mr.. Kennedy seized the
incident as one affording occasion for
further remarks on his part. He
held that MIR. Kane had a right to
speak on this subject. and he charged
the street superintendent with dis
eliminating against deserving men in
the employment of the street forces
in order to favor political friends and
to the disregard of deserving tax
PAYERS. There had been a man up
town so treated, the aide rman de-
clared. and then addressing himself
to the mayor he accused him of being
directly responsible for such DISPOSE
ton on the part of the superintend-
ent of streets.
The mayor promptly accused
the alderman of speaking an
untruth and called him to or
der. The question of adjourn
ment to an afternoon during the
week to inspect storm drains and
grades in the Second and Third
wards being already before the coun-
ell, Aid Maucker held that Aid.
Kennedy was clearly out of order
and insisted that he be declared so.
Kennedy replied that it made no
difference to him if he was out of
order. He was sent there by the
people and he proposed to be heard.
Aid. Kinner took the position that
Aid. Kennedy should be required to
take his seat as he was clearly out
of order, and that if he persisted in
making a disturbance policeman
be sent for and be removed from the
council chamber.

Manager Mate" Salisbury says that when
he YVES last anross the pond he put up for q
day in an Irish town. He was lingering
over cigar in smoking room at his hotel
"a room at the back Of the building and
overlooking a canal-when he noticed an.
other occupant of the place The reason
for noticing him was the other fellows tier
alton Of the phrase, "And there were thir.
teen NV thin drowned, and me own brother
amang thin" This soliloquist was a ma
tive, a man in middle life, who made his
remarks at ton minute intervals, gazing
sadly out upon the canal meanwhile. All
last he could no longer contain the infor-
nation that he was almost perishing to inn
part, and turning to Mr. Salisbury he said
Twas a Fad accident they had here, sure,
two years ago come the 14th of mkt Sep
TENDER, and me n'brother ,sinang thin"
How was that P' asked MIR. Salisbury,
willing to be sympathetic.
well, ye see, it was loike this: There
did be coachin party start that marnin---
thirteen people, and me own brother smang
thim-and they set off In grand sthyle, but
whin they got to the bridge We see beyant,
forninst th'lock, the bridge broke and they
fell trough, the whole thirteen, me own
brother wan av thin. There WAS little
wathor in the canal jist at the tonne, but
the whole crowd got houndering In tn
mud, whin the lock keeper opened the gates
and let in power nv wather, and that
finished the whole thirteen, and me own

An Active Life tho Bcst.

Some think that Carlyle, while livingthe
life of II student, was all the while dying to
be something much more active 1t is OK.
tremely likely that there were moments in
his life when he would even have enlisted,
had recruiting sergeant been ut hand to
take advantage of his mood. But upon the
whole, we may doubt il he would have done
better for himself in any other sphere than
that he chose and to which he devoted
himself 80 thoroughly. .-...
There WAS no lack of energy In his career,
though effectively IL was not apparent.
The occasional growl which he vents against
the literary life must not be taken too seri.
ously. They merely mark the discomfort
OF the natural man with the station Of
which he fancics he has long ago Exhausted
all the pleasures
As n corrective to Carlyle on this point,
Ernest Rcnan may be mentioned. In /.
"Recollections" he IL almost superlative in
praise of the scholars life. He would not
vary his career if he We're called upon to
live it again. Yet even In him the instinct
Of energy at the back OF all OF us led him
to express the hope that he might die a
quick, vigorous deuth--be shot or knocked
on the head
Life must, we are told, 'be active and
vigorous, else death is preferable to ii.
1t is wholesome counsel. The Buddhist
who gradually extinguishes his activities is
not at all admirable to us.--All the Year
Round.
