The EOo-Uoo's In Scranton.

SATURDAY. night the quiet town OF Scranton
Was aroused BY strange sounds emanatlug
from Odd Fellows Hall. The Hoo- Iloo's from
the adjoining towns met there to initiate five
little kittens into the mystery oi Huo-lloo
land. They walked the path set before them
with unerring tread, thcv wnded through the
horse trough, dsmpeued their tiny feet, and
dried them in the dry kiln; although their lit
lie hearts beat with many a hump in every
thing they proved loyal, and when they arrived
upon the roof it could be plainly seen thai,
they enjovcd their ramble in the onion bed
One Of the old cats looking for the oninn
but with gentle care was guided into the Hoo
Hoo garden, where he related his adventure to
the enjoyment OF NIL. Altogether 1t WAS an
evening well spent, long to be remembered.
Five little hearts made glad,
Ten little feet made sore,
Five bright, damp kittens
To DRY in the kiln no more.
Hoo-iloo gently welcomes
Mill men to her rank,
Who can convert a rough log
To = bright, smooth plank.
Or the man who sells machinery,
With which to stock a mil,
Or the man who edits a paper,
That bitter, bitter pill.
Hoo extends her imitation
To the best of railroad men,
And every man wisdom shows
By joining if he can. 26-2'

gated complaints were certified TO the
Board of Works with a suggestion to
sess fines against the contractor.
They haven't got the right system, said
the mayor. The first thing we want to do
is 10 get the town thoroughly cleaned 3nd
then the city must be divided into districts
and so many wagons allotted TO Il district.
That's the only way the thing Can be done.
of course it's q new thing and the people
must have patience, but we intend - insist
that the garbage be cleaned up each Gay.
If the contractor does not do II, the city
will and make his bond pay for it
There was a story yesterday 70 the effect
that one man has been burying garbage In
his ward being unable to get it removed
