In The Beginning.

OF new year, when the winter season of
close confinement is only half gone, many
find their health begins to break down. that
the least exposure threatens sickness. 1t
is then as well at all other times, and with
people even in good health that the follow
ing facts should be remembered, namely:
that Hoods Sarsaparila leads everything
in the way of medicines; that it accom-
plishes the greatest cures in the world; has
the largest sale in the world, and requires
exclusively to the preparation of proprie-
tary medicine. Does not this cOncluslvely
prove, if you are sick, that Hoods Sarsapa-
parilla is the medicine for you to take?

There has been some inquiry why
special town meeting was called about
the library when the March meeting is
so near. 1t is in order that Miss len
new NAV secure the services or an ar
chitect who cannot be had later IN the
season A brick and stone Duliuins
cannot be put together on snort nollce
like a wooden one; it requires time "
prepare all the plans and speclncatlons'
make contracts, etc. If the matter were
deferred until March it might DC
months before anything could be done;
and the donor does not wish to proceed
until she knows whether her proposal
is accented or not. We feel that those
interested in the library will not BE-
grudge the time and pains needed to
secure the early beginning of the work

McHugh's Mistake.

No one enjoys a good story more
heartily than Charles Ntzhugh,, the
genial manager of the Harper; and
he tells one IN which he and a travel
ing man were the actors. 1t occurred
several years ago when Charles was
night clerk at the Harper. Here is
the way he tells it:
Zone morning about o'clock dur
ing the campaign party OF young
politicians Il believe they were from
Dubuque-who we're stopping at the
house, came in after seeing the
sights. They were cutting up in the
office and did not seem disposed to
retire. So finally one fellow sneaked
of to bed. Soon another went. They
were missed. The first man had
fairly got to sleep when his com
panions carried him out of the room
and down stairs. .--,
Then they went after the other.
| told them that he was in 43 and had
left a call for 4:30. One of the party
was delegated tc arouse the deserter.
He prowled around on the second
floor and raped on the door of wha,
he supposed was 43, telling the oc.
cupant that it was train time. Ther
the crowd sat down for a chat.
"In Jew moments a travelling
man who had left a call for 4:3C
came rushing down stairs. What
kind of a - place is this, anyway,
ne grumbled looking up at the clock
which showed that it was just two
bells.
II expostulated with him and told
him that it was q mistake. He
cooled off finally.
"a few hours slipped by and !
went hunting the bell boy, who was
in the habit of taking a snooze
around the hotel. 1 was pretty
warm under the collar after
had looked awhile. Surveying the
darkened parlor. there on the sofa
huddled up. was the boy-l thought
l accompanied my shout for him tc
get up with a pretty speedy kicI
which caught the sleeper on the bot.
tom Of the pantaloons.
"'What in - do you mean, any
how" exclaimed the guest as h
jumped up prepared TO strike me
What kind of place is this? Wax
a man two hours too early and the,
beat him up
1.-The man was roaring mad.
could hardly keep from laughing ir
his face. and it was train time befor,
had him convinced that the Who'll,
affair was q bad mistake"

Much Damage From Wind.

But the most damage resulted
from the wind, which laid out large
trees along the boulevards which
have faced heavy storms for many
years past. Sunday morning the
streets presented the appearance of
a cyclone having struck the city.
Portions of trees and fences were
strewn everywhere along the line
OF where the water had coursed.
Up on Eighteenth street three state
ly elm trees were blown down and
one fell against the residence of M.
Levy and smashed couple of win
dows in the third story. In fact,
trees all over the city were knocked
over.
At the corner of Fifteenth street
and Second avenue the electric wires
we're blown down, catching fire to
the cross poles and requiring the
presence of the fire department. No
damage was done, street car traffic
being interferred with but for few
moments. The wires we're twisted in
other parts Of the city also, but with
little damage. The wind was of ter
rifle strength and aside from blowing
down trees made houses tremble and
blew down fences and sheds.
