A Young Mans Nice Tact,

Among the passengers on q Lam.
caster avenue car as it proceeded
west from Thirty-second and Market
streets was q we'll dressed young
man who sat in the corner, with his
coat collar turned up, indulging in
a half doze. A bag lay at his feet,
indicating that he was returning
from a journey. When the car reach.
ed the transfer station, five young
girls entered tho car, accompanied
by two young men.
They had scarcely been seated
when one of the young ladies sud.
denly left her seat, threw herself
alongside of the young ms in the
corner, and, placing one arm partly
around his neck, exclaimed: why
Cousin Emerson, you've come at
last! What a ibber you are! We
looked She stopped, looked con-
fused, then, with a little shrek, hur-
richly rejoined her companions and
buried her crimson face in her hand
kerchief. She had made a mistake.
The young man after recovering
from his astonishment rose from his
seat, bowed respectfully to the girls
escorts, tipped his hat politely to the
ladies and got off. AS the a passed
on he could be seen standing in the
street awaiting the next car. He had
alighted to relieve the young lady
of her embarrassment. - Philadel.

Craze for Inventions.

The craze for inventions has struck
camp. Jay Walker has a patent dinner
pail which automatically fills itself, pro-
ducing the finest steaks, hot cakes and
coffee while you wait. James Brady Is
working upon a continuance by which he
will run an electric light and power
plant by wind. The recent fad of our
leading citizens to chew snuff has led to
a movement in the council to establish
public snuff boxes on every street cor.
ner, to accommodate the ruling fashion.
Richard Bennett has invented a devise
for filing ideas and old thoughts for flu
ture reference. Touch the spring and
you have your idea.
Jud Calkins is putting in his spare
time on a talking machine that is in
tended to elucidate public questions with
greater volubility than my of the local
lights are able to do and to talk when
everybody else has quit. Max Roehl is
building a deer hunting devise that will
kill at ten miles and do its own aiming.
He claims the bullet will follow the
dear till it gets him. All these plans in
successful operation and Neihart will
lead the world in point of modern i'm
provements and advanced ideas.

of q Past.


She had admired the men. and though
She years had c.ime and gone and she was
still Miss Brown her admiration had not
abated. On the contrary, it had increas-
ed. She was of the modern woman school
also, or at least wanted people to think
SO, n as for herself she thought she was
intensely interesting. To young Mr.. Jones
she had been lately addressing herself,
and young Mr.. Jones usually fed when
she appeared, but on this occasion she had
taken him W and was now hold

a pretty girl to whom young Mr.. Jones was

Jones was sure, was making desperate love
to her. But Miss Brown held on like o

tireIy Miserable.
There are all sorts of ways OF
sconomizing," remarked Mrs. Pip
kins, who was having q chat with
her particular chum, Mrs. Timpson,
and was in q philosophizing mood.
"Some methods are as uncomforta-
BILE as possible; some as little so. In.
deed have practiced economies that
were rather fun. Mr.. Pipkin's meth.
cd is of the very worst possible sort.
He gives up his glass of wine with
his dinner and his cigars. The result
Is that he feels the grind of poverty
very hard indeed and gets exceed.
ingly o over it."
Il should think that wine and CT
gars were the natural things to give
up first when one was economizing,"
said Mrs. Timpson, who is not a
philosopher.
Natural! Why, I call it simply
ridiculous-unless one were really in
want. Ionce heard q man say that
in q pinch he could get along with
out some of the necessaries of life,
but without the 1uxIries, never.
They YER what made life endura-
BILE. Well, I have always sympathized
with that man. When I want to plan
economies, I always provide myself
with q box of French candies, and
then l sit down and think real hard
about what can be given up without
discomfort.
"Once we found our income some.
what reduced, and that dear, silly
old man of mine Immediately began
to make himself wretched by giving
up his little luxuries. I stood it for
several days until he suggested that
we had better give up desserts, to
which he is exceedingly partial, and
the ordered a box of his favorite eli.
gars and a gallon of wine. I also got
my ~favorite box of candy and settled
down for a long argument.

gances and really not feel so horri-
bly, poor, after all. We need not feel
obliged to save car fares at the ex-
pense of our legs, as somo people I
know always do when they econo-
mize. Really the most ~heartrending
and temper spelling way of saving is
that which keeps up appearances at
the cost of comfort.
eyes. I know you think me horri-
bly, extravagant because I do not
count my pennies, but just there lies
the secret of not feeling poor. To
have a small income is a very endura-
BILE hardship if only one keeps down
the big expenses SO as not to have to
deny oneself the t%rifles. Like Les
| petites miseres de Ia vie humaine,'
which we are assured on very good
authority are the hardest ones to
bear, it is the little pleasures that
make life enjoyable. Life is made up
Of little things. To have one big
economy is q bore of course, but to
refrain every time you want q glass
of soda water or a cigar or car fare
is constant source of irritation, and
very bad for the temper, l am sure.
But I have bored you long enough
with my views of life, and SO I will
say goodby and go home and see that
my dear old man has something good
for his dinner. "-Washington Star.

The judgment obtained by plaintiff

case was bitterly contested by the attor-

efforts on the part of the plaintiffs at

This case has been fought for over
two years and it is one that has excited

The Gecko.

The gecko is an odd little creature.
His name is seldom heard, and his
form is seldom seen, for he lives in
warmer climates than this. His
home is in Africa and the southern
countries of Europe.
This little gecko has so many
strange waysand there is something
SO uncanny in his appearance that
the people of the countries where
he lives are rather afraid Of him, be-
lieving his bite to be poisonous, al
though this is denied by naturalists
He is a little creature, with a broad.
fiat head, like a snake, and a long
body, with a narrow tail, with odd
shaped bits of skin arranged Xix
scallops along the sides of it. He
has short legs and queer, catlike
claws, which enable him to easily
climb the old walls and rocks upon
which he lives, catching the insects
of various sorts which make his din
ner.
He-is a nocturnal animal, walking
abroad at night and sleeping in the
daytime. He moves with sudden
rushes and without any noise what
ever. His odd name was given him
from the queer noise he makes,
which is something like the noise
you would make to start a horse
with. The male gecko is of a gray
color, so near the shade of the old
walls and rocks among which he
makes his home that he can barely
be seen.-St- Louis Post Dispatch.

CITY COUNCIL.
City Treasurer Skinner. and Police
Magistrate McGibbon Resign.

At the regular meeting of the city
council Tuesday evening the resgnations
-oftH. j.. Skinner as city treasurer and
Geo. L. McGibbon as police magistrate
were received and accepted. The first
resigned because he EXPECTS shortly to
remove from the city, and the latter be-
cause he expects soon to be employed at
something that will demand all his
time.
Both these officers made reports to
the council covering all matters pertain
ing to their offices, and the same were
ordered filed.
The report of the marshal for Novem-
Der showed $15 collected in sporting
fines, 81 in stock fines, and that five poll
taxes were worked out on the streets
during the month. He had hired labor
to the extent of $4,000 in the removal
of the Mueller buildings, and license had
been collected during the month to the
amount of $:3S.
The opinion of the city attorney in re-
gard to the salary of the marshal was
read 20 the council, and was to the eff
feet that the council had a legal right
to fix the salary of the marshal at $50 a
month by agreeing with that officer.
A new ordinance in regard to licenses
was introduced by Aid. Ladd and re-
ferred to the ordinance committee.
Aid. Bonner, from the auditing COM
mittee, reported the following bills and
they were ordered paid:
