Atkinson doesn't believe in wasting
money, and the entire cost OF the dinner,
exclusive Of flowers, was $3.50 There

JUST LIKE PARIS.
Kansas Avenue is Swept Every Night
With Hand Brooms Now.

Kansas Avenue is Swept Every Night
With Hand Brooms Now.
The old street sweeper has fallen into
disuse. Street Commissioner James
Ramsey has found a better way for clean
ing the pavement. 1t IS done with hand
brooms, and it may be noticed that Kan
sas avenue is unusually clean recently.
Every night four men are put to work
to sweep the asphalt pavement on Kan
sas avenue, and they have no difficulty
IN going over the entire street. They
use hand brooms filed with rattan, and
all the dirt is swept off and then washed
into the cutters.
BY the use of the street sweeper it
used to cost $14 80 to sweep Quincy
street. Four men now do the same work
and do it better for So The use of a
team on the sweeper is dispensed with
and it is not necessary to gather up the
sweepings the next day as flushing the
cutters carries it into the sewers.
Street Commissioner Ramsey says that
he was driven to the new method by
necessity. The broom of the horse
sweeper was worn out and when he at
tempted to buy rattan to fill it he was
asked an exhorbitant price and he con
cluded to clean the pavement in another
way and he is we'll satisfied with the
result of his experiment.

MY II RE.
Jones, Beown and Smith, Who Don't Keep
Horses, Know All About Her.
I have just bought mare.

have just bought mare.
Ten families live in our village, and six
of them keep horses The various mem
bers OF these six families have said moth
ing about the mare rs yet. for they know
1 can pass any of them going to church
going around by the church, L mean, of
course-or going anywhere else. But the
amount OF horse wisdom posse ed by the
heads. tails and bodies of the families that
do not keep horses passes belief. Jones is
one of them. He keeps a COW. He told me
that a COW would have been q better in
vestment He said horse wouldnt give
me any milk for the baby 1--WE are going
to buy a pig and name it Orlando-we
have the baby, but we have not yet decided
On the name for it,. Jones merely had to
look at the mare to decide that she kicked,
bit and baked. He said he wouldn't trust
his family with her across the street. As
the street in front Of his house extends to
the Pacific ocean, and for that matter, to
Japan, in real dry weather, I don't blame
him for his lack Of confidence.
Brown rides a bicycle, or bike rather
Il believe the word ''bicycle'' is labeled
obsolete in the latest dictionary. Brown
is young, but he saw a horse once, and he
had no trouble in deciding at a glance that
the mare had a pin hip, several spavins
and the hampers. He said sententiously-
y
ly when writing for publication nowadays
either that OF tentatively, but I can't
work in tentatively here-that it did not
cost anything to feed bike. You may
observe that this remark of Browns and
that of Jones about the milk were star
tIingl7 original thoughts.
Smith, who is a famous pedestrian, was
a little more considerate. He said the only
thing that was the matter with the mare
was the glanGcrs. I'm rather sorry about
that, though, for he says the CHAMBERS is
an incurable disease, and I find that he
has told the truth, according to the $40
horse doctor book that I have just bought.
The remark that Robinson made about
her, however, really do not understand.
He remaTked-sententious also-that the
mare would cat her head off inside of q
month. Since he said that l have never
gone to the stable without expecting TO see
a headless horse standing in the stall.
And the worst of it is that can find nc
reference in the horse doctor book to
equine felo de Sc. l have a place picked
out for her grave. though, in case she does
decapitate herself. 1t is in the Robinson
family lotion Hall in Truth.

DOES ENGLAND WANT HELP
May be Contemplating European Union
Against Monroe Doe rine.


WASHINGTON, Oct. Is -Even after the
practical confirmation from British
sources of the statement that the state
department has addressed strong letter
upon the Venezuelan boundary dispute
to Ambassador Bayard for delivery to
the British foreign Office, the officials at
the state department refused to make
any admission touching the subject
The guarded and evidently inspired
comment of the leading British news pa
per upon this letter has attracted serious
attention among the diplomatic body
mere and they see in it good deal of
significance and possibly threlt of
grave complications 10 follow.
The statement that is held to be of
particular significance is that the British
government regards the view set forth
in Secretary Oiney's letter as so import
ant that long time must be taken for
lis consideration.
The doctrine laid down by Secretary
Olney. if carried TO its logical conclu-
sion. probably would stop any interfeT-
ence by force on the part of a European
power in the affairs of an American re-
public.
Therefore, it is believed by some
diplomats here to be within he range of
a possibility that Great Britain may have
in contem plation union with some of
the other European powers in joint
refusal TO accept the doctrine laid down
by Monroe.
