By serving meats and drinks.

And such a pretty face!

know but very little French;
I have not long been here;
But when she spoke her meaning
broke
Full sweetly on my ear:
Then, too, she seemed to understand
Whate'er I had to say,
Though most I knew was "oony poo,"
Bong zhoor," and "see VOC play"
The female wit is always quick,
And Of all womankind
IT'S here in France that you, perchance
The keenest wits shall find.
And here you'll find that subtle gift,
That rare. distinctive touch,
Combined with grace Of form and face
That gladS men OVermuch.
"Our Sirls at home,'' I unused aloud,
g.. LEX either that or this;
They don't combine the art divine
AS does the Gallo miss.
Far be it from me to malign
Our bellies across the sea,
And yet I'll swear none can compare
With this ideal She."
And then I praised her dainty foot
In very awful French,
And parleyyooed in guileful mood
Until the saucy wench
Tossed back her naughty auburn head,
And froze me with disdain;
There are on me no fies,'' she said,
For come from Bangor, Maine"

HOSPITAL COMMISSION MEETS
WITH A SURPRISE
AT THE HANDS OF M'CARDY.
Work of Equipping the New Hos
pital With Lights Is Delayed
Funds Exhausted.

The new city hospital is practically
completed save for the equipment of
chandeliers, but it looks as though this
important step would be delayed, and
therefore the removal of patients post
poned.
About two months ago the hospital
commission awarded the contract for
putting in the gas fixtures to ]. j.
Dunnigan for 81, 045. Recently the coun-
ell confirmed the award, but now the
city comptroller informs the hospital
authorities that there is no money in
the hospital fund to pay for the work.
The hospital commission was sur
prised at this intelligence, and met yes
terday afternoon to learn from the
comptroller what had become of the
balance of the S42,00 allowed in the
1894 tax levy for the addition to the
city hospital. The board contends that
only $35, 900 of the whole amount has
been spent, which leaves $1,000 to the
credit of the fund.
The comptroller was not in his office
at the time the commission met yes
terday, but a conference between them
h wifPSake place at IL a. m. today.
