The husband is u strongly built. hon

looking and of Il refined appearances
Both tell Il straightforward story and
gave no cause for the slightest siis-
picion that they We're eXaggerating.
During the big strike in Chicago there
was lull in the bridge building trade
which Brooks followed. and having put
by little money he decided to strike
out to better his fortunes. He went
first to Steelton and then to baltimore
He worked at his trade i'm the latter city

his savings. went to work on an oyster
boat. Five days of this hard life was

Two weeks ago they left Baltimore,

it and sleeping in barns at night.
Unable to Go Any Further.
The husband contracted n heavy cold
while working on the oyster boat and
the exposure of the journey threw him
into fever. The wife's limbs become
swollen from the tramping and she
also took a heavy cold and on Monday
night they found themselves about four

They applied to party living along
the road for permission to sleep in his

THEY TOOK A VACATION.
Members of Estimate Committee When
brought Face to Face with tho state
ment Of Estimated Expenditures Take a
Few DayS IN Think


The estimates committee organized
last night by ele<rting Charles +. Wag-
ner of select council, chairman. There
were present besides the members Of
the committee City Controller Wild
mayer and City Clerk Lavelle.
The estimate of expenditures as pre-
sented by the city controller, was dis
tributed in printed form by the city
clerk. The committee decided to take
some time to look into the estimates
and so adjourned until next Monday
evening without making any move to
frame the appropriation ordinance.
The only new matter that came be-
fore the committee was suggestion
by Mr.. Iaucr that the proposed levy
of thirteen and siX-tenths mills be
slightly increased by special levy to
provide for the purchase OF the Rey-
nOldS and Canavan tracts adjoining
Nay Aug park. upon which the OPP
tons secured by the city expire in the
spring. His suggestion did not meet
with favor. however.
Mr.. Keller expressed the opinion that
there were more necessary demands
than an addition to the park. and fur
thermore he stated that it would be
better to improve the land that is now
comprised in the park than to buy
more. At all events the pronosed ad-
dition can he secured at any time by
condemnation proceedings, he stated.
and possibly at a better figure than
that at which it is now offered. His
sentiments met the appreciation of
the members, who expressed them
selves and Mr. Lauer himself did not
further insist on his suggestions after
the pulse of the committee was ascer-
tanned.
In regard to Trips park. Mr.. Lauer
said in answer to an inquiry of one Of
the committee tina: he had given up
hopes of securing it this year. The
trustees of the estate have promised
to reserve the tract which Mr. Lauer
designs for a park and will give the
city an option on it in the near future.
