To Tell Councils and Ills Critics That lie

City Engineer Phillips is preparing
an explanation for councils regarding
the grade in front Of the new Traders
Bank building OF Which so much has
been said during the past few days.
Mr.. Phillips will say that the grade
he gave them Is the proper one estab-
lished by ordinance, and while it Is not
the same grade as the adjoining side
walks, that is not his fault, for he can
not prevent sidewalks and curbs in the
territory formerly comprised in the old
swamp from settling, as it is doing
continually.
Some years ago the curbs along
Spruce street had to be raised one foot

S0Nye('S 5 Millinery

The richest picking and the quickest
selling we've had this season. In all the
country there are no brighter, shrewder,
better posted women than right here in
Scranton, and the crowds that have visited
our store means something.
The possibilities Of trade are simply
wonderful when such novelties and values
are represented. All new goods. no old
would be worse than folly to deal in
trash. That's when good management
shows itself. and no day without some-
thing newer and more tempting. That
why this store will always lead.
We have twice over what any other store
in Scranton can show, and we question
whether any stock anywhere represents
better values for the money.

Where He'd Been To.

From the New York Tribune.
A story is told of Scranton, Pa,
young man who called on u young lady
one evening. When he arrived there
was not cloud i'm the sky, so he car
ried no umbrella and wore neither
galoshes nor macintosh. At 10
O'Clock, when he rose to go, it was rain
ing eats and dogs
"My, my, myp' said the nice young
lady, "if you go out in all this storm
you will catch your death of cold ~
"I'm afraid | might" was the trem-
bling answer.
"Well, I'll tell you what-yOu stay
all night; you can have Toms room.
Excuse me for a minute, and I'll just
run up and see if it's in order"
The young lady flew gracefully up
stairs to see that Toms room was in
order. In five minutes she came down
to announce that Toms room was in
order, but no Charles was in sight.
But in very few moments he appear
ed, very dripping and out of breath
from running, bundle in newspaper
under his arm.
"Why, Charles, where have you
been?" was her greeting.
"Been home after my nightshirt, y
was his reply.

Long Time Between.

The barkeeper laid down the inter
esting account of the war operations
in the East, which he had been read
ing, as old Cap'n Butler came rolling
in for his regular '"leven o'clock, and
reluctantly passed over the decanter.
For the Cap'n has a reputation widely
established, for being long on time
and short on cash.
''Iou may put that down along 'ith

he returned the glass and passed the
back of his hand lightly across his el-
oquent lips.

keeper, as he rinsed the glass.
''Inasmueh as To wherefore" the

"No," retorted the barkeeper, wip-
ing off the counter.

Princess Maud's Presents.

Wedding presents for Princess Maud,
of England, who is to marry Prince
Carl, of Denmark, are coming in rap
idly and in great numbers. The parents
of the bride and the aristoeracy having
begun presenting their gifts to the
young bridal couple, they are now be-
ing followed by the numerous towns,
counties, shires and guilds. Among
the presents received there are to
now not less than IS ladies' bicycles,
for it il known that Princess Maud is
an enthusiastic wheelwomaE. There
are wheels of almost every first-elass
make, and of the most varying con-
structions and executions some adorn-
ed with engravings and Others with
inscriptions. Beside the wheels, the
Princess is the recipient of several doz-
en- motor carriages, some driven by
steam, others by petroleum motors,
compressed air aud electricity. Since
the exhibition of wedding presents is
still fashionable in aristoeratic Eng.
land, tn. show of Princess Maud's
wedding gifts will look very much like
a cycle show or an exhibition of motor
carriages.

"Yes?" she returned inquiringly.
"Yes," he asserted. "And the

"Yes?" she said, in the same inquir-

"Yes," he repeated "You see, the

sports that women have recently taken

And Now For Forty Winks.

Well-dined humanity will feel re-
lieved to hear the decision Of the medi-
cal profession that the time-'.onOred
institution of "forty winks" after din
ner is conducive to health and beau-
tiful recuperative process. Plethoric,
full-bioOded people have feared 10 in
dulge in this tempting settling of a
heavy feed. Several English practi-
TONERS have made severe attack on
the siesta as tending to apoplexy or
nightmare, but the Medical Press de-
clares this idea is founded on a misap-
prehension of the physiological func-
tions of the stomach and brain. And
this is what it says, answering the
question: "Is it harmful thus to fall
asleep after meal? By no means. The
process is merely physiological one,
and as such when it occurs is quite
natural. When digestion is in pro-
gress, nature arranges that all the
available blood in the body shall he
collected i'm and about the digestive or
gans. Consequently the blood supply
to the brain falls to low ebb, and
thus sleep is easily induced. On the
other hand, phys;ologically, it is wrong
for brain work to be attempted immedi-
ately after solid meal" Which is
most comfortable doctrine, but one
that offers new development in the
attractions of dinner parties or public
banquets. How would, il be possible for
guests, after tossing of the pousse cafe,
to recline with comfort in the straight
back chairs of modern fashion? Would
these heavy dinners be able to restrain
the snores with which nature affiicts
the children of men in their uncon-
scious moments ? Ifthe ''forty wink"
method is to receive public and immedi-
ate postprandial adoption, another or
der of dining room furniture must
prevail. People who are in the habit
OF dining not wisely but too we'll,
must insist on the introduction of the
classic Roman style of couch or triclinia
round the mahogany, and on that ex-
tend themselves as gracefully as may
be until the digestive organs have done
their duty. Benefieent sleep. Ii would
work well even at the dinner dance, for
then guests, however light of foot,
would awake refreshed, and their gen.
eral happiness be promoted, because in

changing the subject by calling st. FL
tons attention to the peculiar richness
of the sunlight that flooded it.
st. Elton cast his eyes upon it, but he
could not have told whether he had
been looking at sunlight or moonlight
a second afterward. He was thinking
of fsomething else.

In turning the music their fingers

June snatched her hand away, and
struck the piano with hasty, violent
touch, but St. Elton could not fail to
see the crimson which sprang into her
cheeks
Ii was the first time she had ever in
the slightest degree actually acknowl-
edged his power, and st. Elton would
have been elated had it not been for
this new conner upon the stage. As it
was, he went away moody, and angry
with June, the stranger, himself, and
the whole world generally.
At home he found an invitation
which had come during his absence,
from June, for the following evening.
