| 1t seems that q certain piano deal

There is one ordinance on the
books which the police should take
steps to enforce now before the prac-
tce gets too far That is the one re-
lating to the dumping of ashes and
other rubbish on the streets and in the
roads. In various parts of the city the
regular practice has begun, and this
morning a horse was badly frightened
and came very near running away with
a lady driver because of the loose paper
all about. Citizens should take enough
pride in the city to refrain from such
practices, but if they haven't the pride
they should be forced to desist.

children once or twice d week, so as to
keep them in proper form for an emer-

one which tells how cleverly he once
secured for himself in crowded rail-
road car from Denver the use Of two
whole seats. 1t is related that he
wound sheet around one foot and
limb, walked lame with cane and was
accorded two seats by those who
squeezed themselves into half seat
for his comfort. When he arrived at
his journeys end he calmly unWound
the sheet and threw it out of the win
dow, much to the disgust of the other
; passengers. If this is true sketch of
Field, which it is not, it might better

and coming, without writing up as q
smart trick so hoggish performance
as the one recorded.
