VERY nearly all the young men

the boxes and a great many new
ones having been added helped on
the confusion.
A PROMINENT young man was
heard talking of the amazing preva-
lence of speakeasies here recently
and after he finished his lecture he
hunted for two hours unsuccessfully
for a bottle of beer and now the
laugh is on him.
The farmers report that nearly all
the turkeys in the country around
here were slaughtered Thanksgiving
and that there will be a scarcity DUR
ing holidays. If this is the case many
of the younger generation will be very
much disappointed and in fact there
are others.
A PLACE which was alleged to be
of liquid hardware was
pulled last week and the young man
accused of being the proprietor was
bound over for trial to-day. 1t is
not thought that the evidence which
the authorities have will be strong
enough to hold him.

If the people who mail letters on
the train will exercise little care
great deal of unnecessary delay may
be saved the mail clerks. Hand your
letters to them with the addressed
side up and don't throw them all
over the car floor. The men are
worked hard enough now and little
thought on the part of the public will
save them lot of labor
IT blows and SHOWS and stings your
noes-makes all creation SILVER; it
bites your toes, increases your woes,
and freezes in the river. The frost
nips all, both great and small, the
dismal dreary winter: it freezes types,
bursts pipes and vexes sore the prin-
ter. So let it passive mean the
cash in winter; so please be kind, and
make up your mind to settle with the
printer.

one of the very incest in that end of
town and faces on Long Alley. 1t is
that the Doctor will
build fine brick on the front end of

more to this gentleman for it's neat
and coy homes than to
any other and he deserves much
credit for his progressiveness.
Miss WINNIE SOUTH, Of Sunnyside,
who had been elected to represent
her society, the Columbian, ON the

her place as essayist. The other
young people who will
enter the lists for their societies are
Miss Gillian Jamison who repre-
sents the Columbian on Defamation

other demonstration of the fact that
our Young people always are in de-
mand whenever anything requir-
quiring high degree of ability is to
be accomplished.
