PRED to meet the board at 10 o'clock
a. H.. Sept. 10, III the governors room
nj the state capitol, to show cause
why their contracts should not be re-
vokcd. 1t seems that a number Of the
small contractors have deserted the
work temporarily in order to attend to
their private business. and this, if not
attended to in time. would delay the
general plan of drainage. As each of
the contractors deposited - per cent

awarded. and ave bonds for faithful

lose very much by their negligence.

The following anecdote of the
Princess Maud has the distinguished
merit of being true: Going shopping
one spring morning strictly incog
and attended only by one of the Ia
dies of the household, Princess Maud
was accosted by little street arab
who was the happy possessor of a
pair of large, pathetic brown eyes
and q tangled crop of curly brown
hair. He was busily engaged in the
absorbing task of earning his living,
and perhaps some one else's as we'll,
by retailing fresh spring flowers,
penny and tuppence bunch. " The
princess stopped by him, and while
choosing some flowers she was lit
tie startled by the lad saying in an
excited and familiar whisper:
It's all right, miss. 1 knows yer,
but I'll keep it dark and won't split
on yer. "
The princess smilingly shook her
head in denial
YES, do knows yer" (more en-
phatically). Yer Princess Mawd.
I twigged yer directly. -
Princess Maud was greatly anus
ed, and we can just imagine with
what glee she would tell of the in
cident. London Standard.
