bob BELLS LACK OF LICENSE.

Though noted for his strictness with
others, Hoboken's License Inspector, Bob
Bell forgot to take out a license for himself
when he and School Trustee Heating began
to dish out beer at the st. Georges Cricket
grounds where the Hoboken Baseball
Club, of which they are both managers,
draws big crowds every Saturday. He made,
it is said, a good hatful of nickles and dimes
out of dispensing beverages to players and
spectators. Then the surrounding saloon
keepers got mad. They threatened to APP
pear in force at the next meeting of the
Common Council, and make the ~liveliest
kind of a kick.

The Street and Water Board
Estimates a Trife Larger
Than Last Year.

The Street and Water Commissioner met
promptly at nine o'clock this morning. One
of the surprises of the meeting was the
resembling of the resolution dismissing
John A. Sullivan as Lamp Inspector and
appointing John I. Davidson, his successor.
Sullivanis determination to contest the
action of the board caused considerable
hesitation among the members. But
he was told very plainly
that if he did not consent to his
removal his Office would be abolished, and SO
he compromised on being given an oppor-
tunity to resign. The members evidently
considered this an easy way out of a bad
hole. Sullivan rendered his resignation this
morning and it was accepted. subsequently
John T. Davidson was reappointed.

When the life savers made the discovery
that the sailors were in frail boat at the

A SPECULATION IN SNAKES.

How James Grover Put Up Good Money
and Lost 1t.
James Grover Of Allegheny didn't know
enough about snakes, or he would have
made $40 the other day.
Huokleberry hill, over in Potter county,
Pa, is q great haunt of rattlesnakes.
Scores are caught and killed there every
year. Charles Phelps of Allegheny county
is Snowman who exhibits snakes and
other things at summer resorts. He need
ed pair of rattlesnakes to complete his
collection before starting for Chautauqua
and other points, and he offered $12 for
the snakes. James Grover knew about
Huckleberry hill, and he got days OPP
ton from Phelps on the furnishing Of the
rattlesnakes for Phelps collection.
Grover went down to Huckleberry hill
and had no difficulty IN securing two fine
rattlesnakes from a native for so cents
apiece. On his way back to Allegheny
county he met a man who had two i'm
mense black snakes for sale. Grover had
no commission to supply Phelps with black
snakes, but he believed he could easily dis
pose of q couple to him at q considerable
advance on the cost of the pair, which
was $1.25, SO he bought the black snakes.
He had the two rattlers In secure box in
the hind end of the wagon. He slid the
black snakes into the same box.
When he got home and delivered his in
voice of snakes to Phelps, and Phelps
opened the box to look at the prize he had
obtained, there was nothing to be seen but
two black snakes. Phelps protested that
it wasn't black snakes that he wanted,
and Grover was SO amazed by the mystic
rious disappearance of tho rattlers that it
was some time before he could tell Phelps
about his snake buying, Then Phelps,
knowing snakes well, remarked to Grover
that he was chump.
"You couldn't have done them black
snakes bigger favor than to shove 'em
into that box with the rattlers," said he.
"Rattlers is jist pie for black snakes, and
them two rattlers is now restin in the
breadbaskets Of them two black snakes,
deader'n smoked hamsl"
Such was the fact. The black snakes
had dined on the rattlers en- route Phelps
didn't want black snakes, even with rat
tiers inside of them, so Growers specula
ton was losing.-Chioago Times.

AYonnr MANS Clothes.

believe q young man should dress as
well as his means allow no better, but no
worse, writes Edward W. Box in Ladies'
Home journal. Money spent on q neat
appearance is never wasted with man,
BIO he young or old. The danger in q
young mans clothes is a tendency toward
extravaganza. This is never justifable,
no matter what may be the income of
young man. Extravaganza is always
wasteful. But neither must he economize
too closely. We may like it or not, but
we are judged in this world first for what
we are, but also as we look, and young
mans sense should teach him that it is al
ways wise to create good impression.
Good clothes cannot make young man,
but they are help. A well dressed young
man does not necessarily imply that he
should wear the highest priced clothes, cut
in tho very latest styles. 1t is just as pos
sible to be well attired in clothes Of mod
crate cost, SO long as they are not loud"
nor SNOWY" but quiet and neat. The
best dressers among men follow the same
method as do the best dressers among
women. They do it quietly, but well.
