BOARDING HOUSE oEoMfraY
Some Humble Truths Expressed in
Scientific Language

Definitions and axioms-All boarding
houses are the same boarding houses.
Boarders in the same boarding house
and on the same fiat are equal to one
another.
A single room 10 that which has no
parts and no magnitude.
The landlady of a boarding house Is a
parallelogram-that is, an oblong, angu-
lar figure, which cannot be described.
but which Is equal to anything.
A wrangle Is the disinclination Of two
boarders to each other that meet to-
gether but are not on the same fiat.
All the other rooms being taken, a
single room is said to be double room.
Postulates and propositions-A pie
many be produced any number of times.
The landlady can be reduced to her
lowest terms by series of propositions
A bee line may be made from any
boarding house to any other boarding
house.
The clothes Of boarding house bed,
though produced ever so far both ways,
Will not meet.
Any two meals at a boarding house
are together less than two square meals
If from the opposite ends of board
ing house a line be drawn passing
through all the rooms in turn, then the
stovepipe which warns the boarders
will lie within that line.
On the same bill and on the same side
of it there should not be two charges
for the same thing.
If there be two boarders on the same
fiat, and the amount of side of the one
equal to the amount of side of the other,
each to each, and the wrangle between
one boarder and the landlady be equal
to the wrangle between the landlady
and the other, then shall the weekly bills
Of the two boarders be equal also, each
to each.
For If not, let one bill be the greater
Then the other bill is less than it
might have been-which is absurd

Garden Aphorisms

There IS such a thing as too much
cheerfulness. Take the canary; he sings
all the year round, whatever the weather
and however small his cage. prefer
the sincerity Of the robin; when he sings:
you can be sure 1t is springtime. He is
not making the best of winter.
1t is all the point of view, an optimist
says; "How charmingly those flowers
turn toward the light;"-a pessimist,
How a little sunshine does turn the
heads of those flowers"
The cat comes when you scatter crumbs
on your doorstep. But she doesn't want
crumbs; she is after the birds that will
want them.-Truth.

DOUBLE WEDDING SPOILED.
Because One of the Prospective
Brides Changed Her Mind.


Brides Changed Her Mind.
Man proposes, but woman disposes-
sometimes. At least that is what Cos
mo Frantanilla, a young Italian fruit
merchant, found to be the case, when
Cormalla Basma refused at the ele-
venth hour to place her right hand in
his and permit ourtCommissioner Gal

tween Robert and Jackson, known as
center of the block, and then turning
at a right angle, extends out to Robert.
In this alley reside the houses of Bas-
ma and Frantanilla. Unlike the Mon
tGgues and Capulets, no mortal feud
has embittered their lives, but in peace
and harmony have they dwelt. The
scion of the house of Basma is Anto-
Mo. "a very noble youth" OF twenty
three. Antonio loved Enitzia, the
daughter of the house of Frantanilla,
and Enitzia emulating the accommo-
dating example of Sweet Rosy
O'Grady," loved Antonio. So they
sealed the compact and set the day.
Now Antonio has sister-Cormalla-
a lustrous eyed girl of 18-the only
daughter of her fathers house" The
father an old man of 20. loving his
daughter passing well, would that she,
too. should take husband, at the
same hour her brother took a wife.
Antonio, like a dutiful son and brother,
approved of his fathers wish, and be-
sought his sister to follow his example.
There was Cosmo Frantanilla,, an eX-
emplary young fruit merchant. Why
not have a double wedding. Cosmo en-
dorsed the proposition with all the
fervor of a nature belonging to South
ern skies. Cormalla consented.
Thursday the clerk Of courts issued
two marriage licenses, one to Antonio

experience the same ceremony, at least
he thought it was. But Cormalla said
him nay. She said everybody nav.
Even Capt. Gallick's persuasive bland
iShments failed to move her Not that
she did not love Cosmo-she simply
preferred to wait awhile. In vain her
brother and her parents urged her. She
would wait
So Capt. Gallick departed with only
one fee.
Yesterday Cormalla said she was
ready to wed Cosmo. Then Cosmo
hesitated. Not that he did not love
Cormalla. He simply wanted to give
her full opportunity to make I'D her

celebrated on circus day.

JULY FREIGHT BUSINESS.

The local freight men agree that
Notwithstanding that during July.
which is always a bad month for
freight anyway, business is very slow,
there is still considerable slashlng of
rates. This, too, when it is not true
that the heavy movement of business
would ordinarily warrant a hard rush
to secure it. Some of the freight men
are making strong effort to keep up
appearances, and no one of them will
but tell you he is keeping up rates,
but the indications point to readiness
to make it very bad when later there
is some freight moving, for the rates
then will hardly be kept up. The pool

Paul: 'It is rather hard from where

guaranty fund retained by the city

two places the pavement was found to

The board also looked over the cedar

found these pavements in a condition
beyond repair, and will recommend
that both streets be repaved next year
and not with cedar blocks. Brick
will probably be recommended for

PEACE OF KLoNDYKE.
What Authority Will United States Troops Have
TO Preserve II?

Washington. July 2S.-Legal compli-
cations which have presented them
selves may yet intervene to prevent the
detail OF company of United States
troops to Alaska to assist in maintain
Ing the peace In the Klondyke region.
THESE complications presented them
selves as soon as the subject was first
broached and have been the source of
some annoyance to the officials who
feel that law-preserving body Of men
Is essential to the well-being OF the peo-
pie who are flocking to the gold coun-
try. No doubt appears TO be entertained
Of the power of the president to send a
company of soldiers, but the question
raised Is Just what authority they Will
have after being located there. Can they
be ordered out to quell disturbance
without an order from the president?
Can Judge OF "a court or marshal he
clothed with authority TO dispatch the
soldiers to- the scene OF the trouble?
Even IL this power rested with the gov
ernor of Alaska he is located at Sitka,
great distance from the gold region,
and by the time his authority could be
obtained the harm would be done.
The question was discussed by the
president and Secretary Algcr at the
white House last night but no decision
was reached The president and his
cabinet hope that satisfactory con-
cluslon may be arrived at so that a de-
tachmont OF soldiers can be sent TO the
territory.
